Akira Sep 22 2025 9:44 am i would say this guy is a legend

Hoshi Jun 17 2019 6:03 am Aside from the looks cause it is unanimously agreed on, I really like Odagiri san's work choices. It's different from other dramas, I don't know whether it suits my taste perfectly or he is really that good at choosing good roles, but I hope the pieces I saw become more recognizable. I am looking forward to his new Jikou Keisatsu series, I hope it stays as funny and intriguing as it was.

Daniel Otero Apr 16 2018 3:15 pm Just to leave my compliments on the lovely work performed in Ernesto. The Spanish is not bad and conducted throughout the entire movie. I was wondering whether you were coached through it or learned Spanish in the past! Because it was well done! Congratulations!
