I will be posting previews of new dramas only for those which I'm interested in so you won't be seeing introductions for all offerings within each season. To start off, here's a feature of Maou from TBS!Title: Maou 魔王 (Demon King)
Broadcaster: TBS
Theme song: Truth by Arashi
Cast:
Naruse Ryo - Ohno Satoshi
Serizawa Naoto - Ikuta Toma
Sakita Shiori - Kobayashi Ryoko
Kasai Jun - Tanaka Kei

Points of interest:
1) Ohno Satoshi's first leading role in a drama
All along, Ohno has been known as the underrated actor in Arashi who's been praised for his acting in stage plays. However, he has never acted in a drama before. This is the first time he's acting in a drama and to top it off, it's a leading role! His character, Naruse Ryo is an angel on the surface but a devil deep within. As such, this will be a test of his acting skills and may determine whether he can secure more drama appearances in future.
2) Ohno and Ikuta Toma acting together
In the drama, Ohno and Ikuta's roles are rivals while in real life, they are buddies who have known each other for years. It will be interesting to see how they face off through acting.
3) The suspense
I've always like suspense thrillers so this seems to be an enjoyable drama to sit through. Although we are presented with the reason why Ryo wants to take revenge against Naoto right in the first episode, the thrilling part is how Ryo manages to execute his plan without dirtying his hands and breaking the law. Thus, the issue here is not finding who's the culprit behind all these events but rather guessing what will happen next and how it will end.
