Melodie J Conrad Apr 21 2021 10:38 am How/where can I watch this? I really would love to see it but I have no clue about where! Thank you Melodie

John Smith Nov 26 2017 3:32 am If you are looking for a straightforward hero or villain, or a simple Hollywood (or K-drama, or J-drama) ending, this show is not for you. The first episode can be pretty intimidating in the way it keeps accumulating disparate characters and situations that will require some effort for you to keep track of. But the effort will really pay off later, when you get to see how seemingly small but ingrained injustices can have lasting and unexpectedly far-reaching effects in a rigid, corrupt society. Also, the Lady Joker members as well as their kidnap victim Shiroyama are some of the most interesting characters I have ever seen in any drama. By episode 3 I was on the edge of my seat. So glad I was able to marathon the whole series, rather than having to wait for each episode to be released and subbed.

One day, a suspicious-looking audio CD is delivered to Shiroyama Kyosuke, the company president of Hinode Beer, the industry’s top brewer. Shiroyama is shaken by the contents which pin the company down for its past misdeeds. Meanwhile, Monoi Seizo, the owner of a small pharmacy; Handa Shuhei, a detective who hates the police organisation; Nunokawa Junichi, a truck driver with a special needs child; Matsudo Yokichi, a lathe operator; and Ko Katsumi, a credit association employee who are buddies who met at the horse race track, set a plan in motion. Monoi has thought of stealing large sums of money from a big corporation and targets the closely linked Hinode Beer. Meanwhile, Detective Goda Yuichiro and his colleagues investigate a report that Shiroyama failed to return home. When they rush to Shiroyama’s residence, they find a written memo saying, “The company president is in our custody”. But Shiroyama is soon released. The criminal group that calls itself Lady Joker hints that it has tampered with 3.5 kilolitres of beer and demands 2 billion yen from Shiroyama. … …

Joe Jan 22 2014 11:58 pm Do yourself a favor and watch the 2013 TV series version of Lady Joker. I've watched hundreds of doramas over the years, and this is the hands down the best show ever made. But you have to give it a full attention.
