King Pup 1722 Feb 08 2025 11:08 am Watched this show on Netflix where it’s titled ‘Faceless’. It’s a slow burner, there’s little physical action, the story moves along at an unhurried pace.

Kudos to the make-up team for the film, they really transformed Ryusei Yokohama into visually different persons whenever he had to take on a new identity.

Though he finally was able to prove his innocence, the story shows the overwhelming odds when someone is accused unfairly by the police. If you’re looking for a good storyline, you won’t regret watching this!
