They replied that Maou would start airing following the final episode of Love Shuffle. They also mentioned that commercials for the new drama would start airing soon on Channel 18.2. I'll add the official starting date as soon as UTB begins airing the promos for the drama. —Hiroshi UTB 18.2 Sunday Drama: MAOU/Devil Starts on Sunday, October 11th, 2009 Airs on UTB Channel 18.2 on Sundays from 9p ~ 10p. (Following the end of Love Shuffle) Also aired on: Early Mondays anytime from 1:30a ~ 3:30a Mondays from 10:30a ~ 11:30a Mondays from 5p ~ 6p Mondays from 8p ~ 9p Summary This drama is a remake of the popular suspense drama Lucifer that was aired in Korea last year. Ohno Satoshi will be playing the role of a two-faced lawyer, one of which is a kind hearted soul and the other who is plotting revenge, using his brilliant mind, on the person who killed his relative. On the other hand, Ikuta Toma will play the double lead role of the man, who has become a detective due to his dark past, who is pursuing the mysterious series of murders and fighting against the devil (maou). —DramaWiki Drama Information Number of Episodes: 11 Genre: Suspense drama, Romance Theme song: truth by Arashi Originally aired: 7/4/2008 ~ 9/12/2008 on Channel TBS in Japan Related Dramas: The Devil, aired in 2007 on Channel KBS-2 in Korea Character Correlation Chart DramaWiki only has the Japanese version available.

An excellent Korean drama. I'll look forward to seeing how the Japanese production company handles it. The original story is very mysterious. Who is good and who is bad? When you think you've got it down in black and white, it suddenly shifts into a dense grey! Very involved, intriguing story, leading the viewer down many paths before it's over. Of course the Japanese may have changed it to suit their style, but it should be well-done (I hope). 9/24/2009, 12:54 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Northridge, California Posts: 8796 Quote Re: J-Drama: 魔王 (The Devil) This sounds like it's going to be a pretty mysterious drama full of suspense, twists, and turns! I didn't see the Korean version, but I'm glad to hear that the story was excellently done. Hopefully the Japanese production will be the same way! It sounds it's going to be a really enthralling and suspenseful drama. I'm looking forward to it! DramaWiki lists that this drama was aired in the summer of 2008 in Japan. After it ended, Bound by Shooting Stars began airing in the same time slot. I guess there were quite a few suspense/mystery dramas aired last year in Japan! Looking forward to this one. 9/24/2009, 5:42 pm    Moises Moderator Global user Registered: 02-2005 Posts: 390 Quote Re: J-Drama: 魔王 (The Devil) class blockquote Hiroshi66 wrote: DramaWiki lists that this drama was aired in the summer of 2008 in Japan.

Most of the more recent dramas that they have shown have come from TBS. The only one that wasn't was Hotaru no Hikari which was an NTV program. 9/24/2009, 8:17 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Northridge, California Posts: 8796 Quote Re: J-Drama: 魔王 (The Devil) class blockquote Moises wrote: Also, it seems like UTB has been airing alot of TBS dramas.

Even the two Friday night dramas we saw (Scandal and Bound by Shooting Stars) were TBS dramas. Most of UTB's dramas seem to be originally broadcast on Channel TBS in Japan, even though the morning and taiga dramas are both produced by NHK. 9/24/2009, 9:02 pm    calimike Member Global user Registered: 02-2007 Posts: 151 Quote Re: J-Drama: 魔王 (The Devil) I heard some say Devil (Japanese version) is better than Lucifer (Korean version). I'm gonna watch soon. No spoiler please 9/27/2009, 8:23 pm    Glico Member Global user Registered: 04-2009 Posts: 13 Quote Re: J-Drama: 魔王 (The Devil) I saw the preview during Love Shuffle. I thought it looked familiar, because I seen the original Korean version. That was a very good drama. I can't wait to see how the Japanese Version turned out. 9/27/2009, 10:44 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Northridge, California Posts: 8796 Quote Re: J-Drama: 魔王 (Devil) Yes, I also saw the preview during last night's episode of Love Shuffle. From the looks of it, it's going to be a very intense drama! I'm looking forward to watching it, especially since the production won quite a few awards. It looks like Devil will begin airing on Sunday, October 11th. Episode 1 will be divided into two parts, so it will be aired over the course of two weeks (10/11 & 10/18). I'm looking forward to watching! 9/28/2009, 4:33 am    zashibear Member Global user Registered: 10-2004 Posts: 522 Quote J-Drama: 魔王 (The Devil) I am so excited for this. Saw the preview during Love Shuffle. Riida (Ohno Satoshi) and Toma! YAY! Sorrry...fangirl so happy. --- 9/28/2009, 8:59 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Northridge, California Posts: 8796 Quote Re: J-Drama: 魔王 (Devil) I was checking the cast list on the Dramawiki page, and even though some of the names sound a little familiar, I don't recall seeing any members of the cast on the recent J-dramas that have aired on Channel 18.2. There seem to be quite a lot of characters, too. I have high hopes for this drama! Looking forward to watching it and seeing actors/actresses that I haven't seen in any drama before. 9/29/2009, 4:32 am    Add a reply Page:  1  2  3  4  5  Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat You are not logged in (login)      11/29/2009, 6:19 pm
