Two years ago, TBS and WOWOW did co-operated to make Double Face, a remake of Infernal Affairs which showed that outside of Gaiji Keisatsu/Rinjo/Gonzo, the Japanese could make a cop show that was serious and did not end up looking like a tokusatsu.
Tomorrow will be the first episode of Mozu season 1 showing on TBS. Jadefrost has been writing character introductions for the series which is going to help me understand the series easier when I watch it. The two main actors from Double Face are back along with Maki Yoko along with the director. Mozu also has Kita Yoshio (who has in Double Face), Suzuki Sensei, Yabe Kenzo, Ishida Yuriko and Densha who did not overact in Double Face.
WOWOW is going to show season 2 which starts on 22nd June which tells me there's going to be (hopefully) a great ending to season 1 to entice viewers to pay for their WOWOW subscription. Like a lot of WOWOW shows, Mozu is going to have a lot of characters and hopefully they link together like Lady Joker instead of Link.
I need to figure out what sacrifices to offer the jdorama gods so that this ends up being a good dorama. Please be good. Can't wait to watch it!
