Most reviewers here describe this dorama as a “Low Budget Action Adventure Story”; which it’s not accurate. Actually, it’s a parody of the video game series Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior here in the west), which is a HUGE thing in Japan (even the enemies, such as the adorable slimes are here! If you've never played a JRPG (or any RPG), you'll miss about 20% of the references/jokes; but I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy it. The story is quite simple and straightforward; a young man is elected as the "village hero" by mistake and sets on a quest for (nothing less) than defeat the "evil lord" and restore peace in the country. On his journey, he'll find the usual RPG characters to be his companions: the wizard, the rogue and the warrior. All the performances are great (although Takayuki Yamada -whom I adore since the crows saga- as the hero; Tsuyoshi Muro as the wizard; and Jiro Sato as the budda who guides them are outsanding). As a parody is perfect (at least for me being an ex-Dragon Quest player), and although some of the jokes are used more than one time, is never boring. If you're looking to a low budget action comedy, this one's almost perfect; and if you're an RPG player, is a must.
