Some parts may be a bit hard to digest for eg. how he manages to sit with his feet up even during a Supreme Court trial, or that the judges allow Komikado and his opponents to engage in long verbal and sometimes hilarious duels. It is nonetheless equal parts suspense and comedy.
What works for it mostly is the protagonist's unwavering in his ideal that the truth doesn't matter - it's the money. You may even end up buying into that philosophy because all throughout the series the writers keep justifying why it is a better one even if it is admittedly flawed.
Hanyu on the other hand has the unenviable role of playing a loving antagonist. He keeps smiling and spouting his philosophy of "win-win." The writers had to make him an anti-hero who had huge flaws that were ultimately torn down, and this ultimately felt like a bit of a let-down.
The climax felt a bit ridiculous with how Komikado and Mayuzumi managed to get themselves re-instated through a rigged trial. But all in all it seems to work out well.
Watch it for some sharp writing and brilliant acting as well. This show has an appropriate rating and definitely has re-watch value. You won't find any slow moments though some of the clichéd emo-music parts are typical J-drama fare.
Watch out for the surprise twist at the end.
Watch, laugh and recommend to others. LOVE AND PEACE!
