First Teaser for J-dorama Ouroboros with Oguri Shun, Ikuta Toma, and Ueno Juri
Man, I’d watch these three sitting around eating donuts and shooting the breeze for eleven hours. Lucky for me, I get to watch Ikuta Toma, Oguri Shun, and Ueno Juri do something together way more interesting, star in the upcoming winter 2015 TBS dorama Ouroboros (tagline Kono Ai Koso, Seigi). I can’t complain that Oguri Shun is basically a workaholic this year, making Ouroboros his third headlining dorama after Border and Nobunaga Concerto, on top of releasing one hit movie Lupin the Third and making a baby girl with wifey Yamada Yu. More Shun! I will not look a gift Shun in the mouth.
Ouroboros doesn’t premiere until January 16th but the cast is already hard at work filming which always bodes well for quality output. Not that I’m worried, Shun, Toma, and Juri are three of the most acclaimed acting talents in their generation, equally at ease playing intense or comedic and everything in between. Ouroboros might have a love line, not sure because I skimmed a few episodes of the source manga, but mostly it’s about the two-headed duo of cop Toma and gangster Shun who pick the two sides of the law in order the investigate and avenge the death of their beloved sensei. Check out the first teaser below and get excited!

It’s nice seeing Shun not play the cop character since he just did it in Border and even earlier with Tokyo Dogs. The interview below of the two leads discusses them working together again after 8 years since they did HanaKimi together, as well as what to expect with them playing adult and darker roles here.

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod! I have been so counting down the days until this comes out! I can’t wait! I love the manga, which is still going and although I have no idea how they will be able to fit so much story into such a short drama, I’m sure it will be action packed! (I did think Toma’s hair would be a bit wilder though . . .)
I am counting days here!
gimme gimme ~!
I like Shun , loooove Toma …. and my Juri chan <3 she's lifeeeeeeeeeeee! I just can't wait for this drama …. I seriously need new cracks since my beloved Gomen Ne Seishun and Kyo wa kaisha yasumimasu are about to end T_T
I would watch the three of them sitting around and talking so I am here for this
Is there a rule that Oguri Shun has to look ugly when he’s with Ikuta Toma??? It happened it HanaKimi and it’s happening here. At least here Shun plays a gangster…
I think he looks extremely hot with the glasses though.
Shun really looks the part. You should check out the manga and see what he’s going for. It’s really good.
Well, I’m joining the chorus….
AHHHHH Reunion of Hanakimi pair, they were so cute with their rivalry back then. On top of that, we’re having Ueno Juri?? Best Christmas Present!
So excited for this!!!
Looking forward to this for Juri!
Toma…! All the feels..!
Boyoboyoboyoboy! Shun is perfect. Always. It’ll be fun to see him and Toma together again.
I am always surprised that I don’t understand the unsubbed interviews.
Using subs convinces myself I understand Japanese when I just DON’T at all.
At least with Korean, I get maybe half.
Can’t wait! Thanks for the news.
yay I’m so psyched
I’m waiting for this one… Coz of Uri and Shun. I like both of their drama Border and Alice
