The first episode of the TBS Friday drama "Takusari Brothers" (Fridays at 10 PM), starring actor Masaki Okada and also featuring Shota Sometani, aired on April 17th, and the shocking opening scene of the drama garnered a lot of attention from viewers.
The drama follows the "Tagusari Brothers," older brother Makoto Tagusari (played by Okada), a detective, and younger brother Minoru Tagusari (played by Someya), a medical examiner, as they investigate a series of heinous crimes that occur daily and pursue the true culprit in the murder of their parents, a case that expired just two days before the statute of limitations was abolished.
The first episode begins on April 26, 1995. It starts with a sweet scene of brothers Makoto and Minoru riding their bicycles together and talking about their dreams for the future. However, the situation suddenly changes, and Minoru starts bleeding and crying out, "It hurts! It hurts!" Makoto rushes to his parents' bedroom, only to find his father and mother covered in blood...and that's how the story unfolds.
Comments on social media include: "Wow... what a heavy start," "It began with a heavy scene," "It's a start that makes you jump," and "It's tough from the beginning."
