Akuma no Bengonin Episode 1

Akuma no Bengonin is a no budget midnight dorama starring Kaname Jun as the devil's lawyer because he wears all black 24/7 and he never smiles.

I think every actor desires to play a role where they don't have to move any facial muscles and try to recite every sentence without any feelings.

Becky plays his new assistant whose housemate works as a legal reporter.

Akuma no Bengonin is about this defence lawyer who will supposedly say and do anything to get results. Its a pretty standard legal dorama and you won't find any good acting here.

Its got too things that make it different though; first is that its got flashback scenes where the lawyers are in the flashback. Hard to explain but you'll see in the first episode.

The second is the secret of our Devil's lawyers which is revealed at the end of the episode. Ultimately, Akuma no Bengonin is a decent and breezy way to spend 40 minutes. Episode 1 has been subbed by Avallac'h here.
