What can be better than seeing two of Japans most popular faces on screen together again after the sensational and memorable Hana Kimi. Ouroboros is a live-action drama based on the manga by Kanzaki Yuuya,which tells the story about two men, one a detective and another a member of the yakuza, who grew up together in an orphanage and decide to avenge the murder of their beloved teacher which happened 20 years ago and was covered up by the officials.
Tatsuya Danno(Oguri shun) a yakuza and Ikuo Ryuuzaki(Toma Ikuta) a detective, chose different paths but share the same goal that is to take revenge from the people who were responsible for their teacher's murder who was more than just a teacher to them. Oguri shun is quite well known for such dark roles and Ikuta Toma appears as a bubbly detective but when he actually reveals his mysterious dark side that is longing for revenge he totally changes his character and his facial expressions which I really found remarkable about Toma. The main lead actress Juri Uuno plays the role of Hibino Mizuki who is Toma's partner and I thought her character would be bleak but she turned out very strong and I felt that she was immersed in her character and the chemistry between Ikuta and her was pleasant.
Each and every character in the drama had their own essence and role to play and the drama was quite unpredictable when Tatsuya and Ryuuzaki were almost near the truth something else would turn up and they had to find their way back again. what I liked the most was even though one chose the wrong path and the other the right one they always were there for each other as they knew they were in this together and didn't once forget about their sensei who had such a great impact on them.
They called themselves Ouroboros -the 2 dragons who are eternal and shun even had a large ouroboros tattoo on his back and his specs had the same design whereas Toma Ikuta had the ouroboros necklace that his teacher would wear and that motivated them to be one. The ost of the drama is just too beautiful, the opening song -No one starts by the words"recurring fate, you're still haunting me" is very meaningful and relatable and the other song was sung by Arashi(Woah...nothing can be better than this)..even though the ending is unexpected,I was really touched by the by the characters so much and I felt like s real scene was going on in front of my eyes and if u are a hardcore fan of Oguri Shun and Ikuta Toma you will definitely cry while watching the last episode.it is definitely one of the best J-dramas because of its fast-moving plot,unpredictable twists and visual treat of shun and Ikuta plus the amazing acting skills they both have..
