Criminals entered an elite school and took hostage. In exchange for the safety of the hostage, the students need to complete a puzzle in 24 hours.
Sounds promising eh.
That's the synopsis for 4 episode Puzzle aired on Asahi TV back in February.
However...
It's true, how interesting a storyline might be. with bad director, bad actors, it won't work. Puzzle is seriously bad. It's 'Jigsaw Puzzle' I tell you.. not those puzzle solving quiz. They need to find pieces scattered at the school and solve it. For what they gave us, instead of making it into 4 episode, it should be shortened into one. I am amazed myself I went through it. making face... throughout the whole thing though. The lead actor is from D-Boys, I don't know them although I remember that YamaP and Jin has a bestfriend from that band. He's very weak as an actor.
I say.
Avoid this at all cost.
I trashed them to the recycle bin after watching. w/o much thought. >.> it's that bad.
p/s. one of the actor is also another D-boy, Nakamura Yuichi (who also starred in Princess Princess D as Dark Angel if I'm not wrong). I went... ehhhh... Kat-tun's Nakamura Yuichi?? XD

I really adore this guy from the first time I watched him in love letter. I believe he gathered most of his fans from there beside the success of TV series, 'Itazura Na Kiss'. But his disappearing act is disappointing me. I wish to see him more on screen, the last one I see would be Byakuyakou, which in my personal opinion...he still got that power of acting, and he has become COOLer than ever. Handsome than ever. To see someone good-looking and of course with talent disappear from the screen is surely something I found as a waste. Too bad he caught whatever illness back then, if I'm not wrong he rested for long after quitting 'Itsumo Futari De' because of that. He then appear on TV after but again too bad it's only as special appearance or as a supporting actor. I really miss him. And would love to see him as a lead in new drama. Takashi, please come back or maybe oh uhh...director, please make him come back... him = hot stuff.
