After 1 Episode
I believe this drama is spun out or adapted from a manga. Very interesting premise pitting 2 handsome leads with God with Demon hands head to head. Very much intrigue in episode 1 where the setting of the drama is revealed, it gives the audience a great hook.

The casting is pretty superb actually, and Takizawa Hideaki and Nishikido Ryo, the male leads are brilliantly cast and my girl Mizukawa Asami looks extremely alluring in this drama and is probably her coming out drama that propels her to a strong supporting to lead stardom.

Pretty sticky drama to follow, you will enjoy the human drama in it.
