Hi all!~
I believe some fans have already seen or bought You-weekly magazine which features a small part on Japanese dramas.
I have provided some translations and scans for the magazine + some personal opinions.

Out of all the new season japanese dramas, the only one which was a remake is Toma's drama named "Maou". The other 2 dramas were original films and "Shibatora" is an adapted story from the manga featured in "weekly shounen magazine" in 2006.
When the korean version of "Maou" (otherwise known as "Mawang") was aired, due to unseen reasons, the ratings were not good. But the casts' have received good reviews on their acting skills. The Japanese version of "Maou" focuses on 2 male lead actors namely Ohno Satoshi and Ikuta Toma who have great popularity. However in local japanese fans opinions, Ohno's looks and popularity couldn't be compared to Toma's and he could not portray the same character as the popular korean idol, Joo Ji Hoon. As for the female actress, "kobayashi ryoko", other than her figure which is slimmer than the korean actress, her charisma isn't as good as the korean one
In the first week of maou's broadcast, its ratings won shibatora by 1%. (Maou's was 14%, and Shibatora's was 13%) And lets hope the new drama "33" which will be aired in August by Domoto Tsyoshi, will bring justice back for japanese dramas.
Personal Thoughts: Its really furious to know that they are writing so much negative comments about ohno!!!!!!!! And that the editor probably didn't even watch the drama to give such reviews!! As some of my friends and I could not accept such article, we wrote a complain letter to you weekly about their writing styles and contents. If everyone also feels unjustified on the way how they wrote, its good to write a letter to them too. Let them know the power of fangirls.
