So this not only was my very first drama, but also my very first review! I finally decided to get into J-Dramas after years of being addicted to Japanese movies, and boy it was worth it! I am going to avoid getting into too much detail regarding the plot so everyone can enjoy!

It is hard to explain to someone why HERO is so good, considering it's release date and video quality. But at the same time, the answer to this question is very straight forward: HERO is so good because it is too simple.

It's core elements are pillars to any drama/movie: acting, character development, soundtrack and plot. It is clear that at the time HERO didn't have a "crazy" budget but yet, with an incredible cast of actors, they manage to deliver one of the best acting I have seen in a screen, and that's not exaggeration. If you're a "movie head" like myself, you are going to love the acting here, specially when it comes to Kimura Takuya. This man alone is worth the watch, as he delivers EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

Basically, if you appreciate good-quality dramas, with a superb acting, soundtrack, characters and plots, there is no way you should miss HERO!
