Quick Synopsis:
A virus known as Bloody-X was released in Russia. The virus killed many people within hours of being infected. Months later the national police bureau known as THIRD-i, has discovered that the virus has arrived in Japan. The next target of the Bloody-X virus will be Tokyo. In order to learn more about the virus and the terrorist that are trying to release it, THIRD-i seeks the assistance of a computer hacker known as Falcon. The genius hacker is Takagi Fujimaru, son to an agent within the THIRD-i division.


My Thoughts:
Story Line:
This drama was amazing! It is rare for me to see any action dramas since the majority of them are entangled with romance. This one stayed far from any relationships. There were no love triangles involved or any couples to match up. Everyone is too busy trying to prevent the virus to worry about dating. The suspense in the show was eating me up inside. Most of the things I had predicted were completely wrong. It definitely kept you guessing on who can be trusted. You never knew what was going to happen next.

Cast:
I will begin by saying: I LOVE MIURA HARUMA! I fell in love with him since I saw the movie Koizora. I also really like Narimiya Hiroki. I think both of them are great actors and I am happy to seem them in the same drama. Narimiya Hiroki is an awesome villain.

Music:
The theme song was not my favorite. At first it sounded weird to have flumpol playing the song for an action drama but it grew on me eventually. Still, I wont be obsessing over it and listening to it countless times.

Overall I would rate this drama with a 4/5.
