No pun intended - and also I don't think Gerard changed anything for his physical appearance ... although he does seem bigger (not in a good healthy sense) ... maybe there is some prosthetics involved? Would be a good think for him for sure ... otherwise one almost could worry for him.
Maybe he eats to good. Which would fit in with the story and his character obviously. No matter his size, he remains a great actor of course. That said, the drama has quite a few cliches and other things going for it or rather against it. Pacing is ok, but for some it may be a bit too slow. I like the Japanese touch - not sure how that plays with you. But it does seem to give it some gravitas at times. Some quality of sorts ... again all in the eye of the beholder. Or a taste question ... which brings us back to my summary line ...
