Arashi leader Satoshi Ohno has finally been given a regular role in a drama series. He will co-star with rising actor Toma Ikuta in the TBS series "Maou," premiering this July.
"Maou" is a remake of the 2007 Korean suspense drama "The Devil" ("Mawang"). In this version, Ohno plays a lawyer seeking revenge against the killer of his relatives. For the role, he has cut his hair and dyed it black. Meanwhile, Ikuta has been cast as a detective investigating a mysterious series of murders.
Filming is scheduled to start at the end of this month. The show will air on Fridays at 10:00pm.

And that so made my day! Firstly, at last I get to see Ohno's wonderful acting on screen (I've only seen some snippets of his ぶたい and his acting mesmerised me, absolutely). Another thing is that it's a remake of "THE DEVIL" and Ohno plays the lawyer (in Mawang, it was JOO JI HOON)! O.M.G. And, Ikuta is the nice detective. I wonder who's playing the psychic lady.

I'm absolutely excited now that I don't know how to express all the racing thoughts in here. Most looked forward drama of the year, no doubt whatsoever (so, better not disappoint me).

Will she ever shut up?
I am shameless for those feelings.
