Double Cheat starts off as a Kurosagi clone but starts to get better as the scams get more interesting and Mukai Osamu's past gets revealed.
Double Cheat is a Kurosagi for an older audience and I enjoyed the personal nature of Mukai Osamu's revenge plan against Yamagami especially with Matsumoto Wakana from Fukushu no Miboujin playing his ex.
I don't think Uchida Rio can ever make a convincing detective and sometimes she looks like she's still doing her character from Raise de Chanto Shimasu.
Decent ending with the twist being that there will be a second season on WOWOW! The whole WOWOW/Tv Tokyo joint production should have been a giveaway.
New bad for Mukai Osamu to go after but no Matsumoto Wakana. Let's see what the writers can do for season 2 because Double Cheat would not have been compelling for me without Matsumoto Wakana's part in the story making our main character a tragic hero. It gave our main character pathos otherwise it's just a generic scam jdorama.
Fingers crossed WOWOW can make a decent followup. Watchable first season for me but not so confident for second season though Ichijara Hayato is good casting for the villain.

Matsumoto Wakana is always great in whatever supporting role she's playing.
