Face-Maker - 2010 - 5/10
AKA - フェイスメーカー
Plastic surgeon who used to work for the US Witness Protection Service now changes faces for the desperate.
The only price “... is your old face!”
Unhappy or on-the-run souls find the black market “Face-Maker” and persuade him to “rebirth me!”
New identity = problems solved. Sometimes ... sometimes not.
Half hour, single shows. Mid-episode, the surgeon finds the patient and gives them a -
“So how’s it going?” speech, followed by, “Oh, by the way, I just sold your old face."
Late night J-doramas usually air midnight or later. Many are dreck, a few very good, this is middling.
Low production values, generic plots, acting fair to amateur.
Non-demanding time waster.
Despite my shrug of a review, I, nevertheless, reworked existing subtitles for this show.
Steamlined dialogue, Westernized grammar, fixed tense errors.
Full credit given to original subber.
