DISCUSSION POST FOR EPISODES 1 AND 2 OF OUROBOROS....
i'm not sure if anyone would be interested, but i thought maybe we can have discussion posts for Ouroboros episodes?? talk about anything related to the drama. what you like about it, what you hate about it, favorite scenes, favorite characters, etc. =) i know not everyone watches it every week and maybe some of you haven't even watched the 1st episode. but let's just try it and see if what happens. if not a lot of people post, then nevermind. lol. but it might be nice to have a weekly episode discussion post...i think?? i could make a poll, but i'd rather see people commenting. (btw, i think someone asked me how to create polls in posts here. here's how: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faq/69.html)

(BY THE WAY, if there are any Vietnamese fans here, Ueno Juri's Vietnamese fans have translated/subbed some Ouroboros interviews/video clips and are subbing Ouroboros episodes. https://www.facebook.com/UenoJuriVietnameseFanpage)

I was really looking forward to this so idk if it's because of all the hype but I felt a bit dissapointed. The story is interesting but it was all too focused on the backstory and flashbacks in the 1st episode and it seems like they will keep doing this until the very end. Which I don't think is a very good move because this way the tension is somehow missing, at least it seems to me.
I can't help it but I just saw Kazoku Game recently and I always end up comparing dramas to this one, because I think KG was brilliantly made. Although the story is completely different, the way it was made, the way the tension was built up and the way they handled the backstory (the backstorrrry!!) - all of that was so skillfully managed and that's what I call a successful drama.

The visuals are okay but nothing spectacular, from time to time we can see some action scenes that liven up the drama and some abs (lol! :D) but that's about it. Regarding the characters, I was at first confused about Toma's character because I didn't know what the heck he was supposed to be haha. Like the "good" one? I don't mean that I expected a hugely generalized archetype, I was just confused by the way the character acted (don't mean Toma acting, I thought his acting was good haha) .. it becomes more clear in 2nd episode though so... lol
Other characters are okay I guess. Shun's character is a bit more flat, so I expect something more from him in the future. Juri is cute, I think she's beautifullll~~~~ lol haha but it seems like she doesn't fit the original character from the manga.

Overall the drama is doing okay but not amazing. When watching the episodes, I didn't feel super hyped about watching the next. That is a bad sign!

awww, I completely agree...it's a bad move for the 1st and 2nd ep, but they changed that 3rd one, please watch when sub come..I have the hallelujah moment after finish that 3rd one, they finally got it. Toma's character acting silly on surface to hide his dark side which is very interesting and complicating to perform. Though I am a bit disappointed they made him nicer,no cold blood kill scene yet,much less evil than the original, made him into a good guy I guess.

Haha yeah I'll watch the 3rd as soon as possible then, thanks :D Regarding Toma's character I guess they might make him worse gradually ep by ep or rather, reveal his true character gradually :D But I don't know, i wonder how will it all turn out.
