Note:
Nishikido Ryo was diagnosed with Influenza A on 31st Aug and had to be confined at home, and as the filming for his scenes in Episode 7 (orginally on 4th Sep) wasn’t completed yet, an “Urgent Live Broadcast SP” episode was aired on 4th Sep instead – where Takki and Asami (and Ryo, who returned for filming that day) appeared live to watch the highlights of the first 6 episodes. Because of this, the no. of episodes was reduced from 10 to 9. And the final 2 episodes (Ep.8 & 9) will be extended to 75mins SPs each, so that the drama will still end on 25th Sep.

Storyline:

All illnesses and injuries can be cured with just a touch of his hand. The man with “God’s hands”, Ryuuzaki Shinji (Takizawa Hideaki), is a mysterious man with an overwhelming charisma. No one, including himself, knows about his past.

Ryuuzaki, who shows no interest in money or authority, shows off his mysterious power and through his speech and conduct, he repetitiously toys with people’s hearts and lives. Using his powers, he is drawn closer to the political and financial world, and gains great authority. What is Ryuuzaki’s real goal?

A person can be killed with just a touch of his hand. The man with “the Devil’s hands”, Aoi Ryousuke (Nishikido Ryo), is a teacher at a private girls’ high school. With a sincere personality and a strong sense of justice, he is also very popular amongst his students.

He lives with a great hatred towards the cursed power that he possesses, but in order to protect his precious students and to abide his destiny, he battles through the various tests and traps as he chases after the man with “God’s hands.”

When God and the Devil meet, it marks the beginning of a destined battle. Can it be true that Heaven has made a mistake in its selection?
