Best Japanese TV Shows to Watch: The Confidence Man JP
If you enjoyed watching shows like Sherlock, Lupin, and Ocean’s Eleven, The Confidence Man JP is a show worth checking out.
The Confidence Man JP is a show about 3 con artists who create elaborate schemes to scam yakuza members and evil businessman. They choose who to scam based on who they want to help, as a portion of the money they make from scamming traditionally goes to victims of the people they choose to scam.
I enjoyed watching The Confidence Man JP because it had a good mixture of drama, mystery, humor, etc.; also, the three main characters in the show, Dako (the lead), Boku (the looks), and Richard (a little bit of everything), make for a great team. Each episode follows a similar pattern, in which they create a scheme, then watch it seemingly fall apart, and finally show how all of the “failures” were actually planned by Dako to dupe the yakuza/businessman.
Some of the scenes in The Confidence Man JP are a bit unrealistic or overdramatic, but oftentimes it is the theatrics that make the show interesting. If you enjoy shows with a likable antihero (or at least a hero that does not always make the best decisions), The Confidence Man JP could be a show worth checking out!

Hi,
This is a blog for myself (and hopefully others) to keep track of all of the places, restaurants, books, movies, etc. that I do not want to forget. I am a college student who has lived in the US, Asia, and Europe for extended periods of time; I am very lucky to have had these experiences, and I want to share my recommendations with people interested in any of these locations.
NONE of these posts are advertisements. I do not have any discount codes or promotions for anything I write about; however, this should be considered a positive because it means that everything I write about reflects my true feelings. In order to keep this blog positive, my posts will only be recommendations for the things I enjoy the most in life. The topics will vary between whatever subjects I am interested in at a certain time, and I will have 1-2 new posts per day.
I wish I could have started this project earlier while some of my memories were fresher in my mind, but it is better late than never. I hope that other people will have the chance to visit or experience things that I write about, and I hope that people will have a similar taste in life to myself!
