[Japanese Drama Review] Zero: The Bravest Money Game


Zero Ukai (Shigeaki Kato) teaches middle school students at a private institute. In reality, he is a hero who saves the weak that suffers. Zero Ukai participates in a survival game. The game takes place at an amusement park that is under construction. The participants of the game must risk their lives, but the winner will receive 100 billion yen. The participants help each other and strike up friendships.



After a hiatus of the drama Zero: The Bravest Money Game, I have finally completed it as the english subtitles are all finally available online! This drama is based on manga series "Tobaku Haoden Zero" by Nobuyuki Fukumoto.

This drama reminded me of the movie - Animal World 动物世界. Personally, I thought that the drama had a focused story-line. The progression in each scenes led me to ponder and followed them closely. I like the show pretty much for its suspense and smart plot! Also, the different interesting games that was introduced in the show. 

It also educated me to think critically and persevere in difficult situation. Honestly, a world full of greed and selfishness; it was indeed heart-warming that humanity still exists in mankind. 

If given a choice, would you choose money over humanity?
