The Journalist

When I am watching it, I felt so familiar with every plots and every details developed. Ignore the fact I am a Taiwanese. In the end (of E6), I feel Japan is still a nation with hopes. For the performance part, I just curious why so heavy and lots of tears. Still I think it's a great drama.

Doesn't seem to matter the country. Really enjoyed this foray into Japanese politics at its worse... looks very familiar, sadly. This series is well presented, and well acted. I would be satisfied if this series ends here, but would also likely follow these interesting characters through another season.

If u r a fan of yonekura ryoko. U won't miss a chance to see this series. This is something u don't see much from her. She is different from what she has done in her previous works in a really reaaly good way!! N moreover this series is sad n brave. Worth giving it a try.

This drama shows the dark side of political world. Not alike traditional/usual Japanese drama, there were no exaggerating facial expressions/actings, the acting performance were natural and real, showed the struggle that deep inside respective characters' heart.

Please do not anticipate that there would be a superhero like journalist who saved the world (this is not Doctor X series!), instead, different charactors who still have conscience strived their best effort to do what they think they should do at the end, even though they know deep down in their heart that the possibility of changing the society/atmosphere is slim.

The courage of the director and performers are greatly appreciated. As the story is based on a highly sensitive political scandal happened in recent years which the big guys are still watching. Bravo.

So "The Jornalist" was, in my opinion a very interesting show to watch. The acting and script were great. It never got boring and always had a spice to it. I really enjoyed watching this show.
