    This is the best thriller drama/series I've ever watched !! Even though I don't watch a lot of thrillers , I was excited to watch it because the story sounded interesting And it had 2 of my favorite actors ( Ichihara hayato , tsukamoto takashi )

    Story : I gave it 10/10 because it has a lot of twists and it will keep you wondering what will happen next TRUST ME you'll finish it in one or two days because it's short and make you wanna go to the next episode and see what will happen and whenever they are on the edge of getting caught/exposed you will be screaming like NO NOO !!!!

    Acting/cast : the acting was PERFECT especially Ichihara hayato and sakura

    I had never seen Ueda Tatsuya in a drama before so I thought I'd give this one a try. I was drawn towards it because Ueda shaved his head for it, and also the story line seemed rather interesting. I was drawn in immediately when I started watching. The actor that stands out to me the most in this drama is Hayato Ichihara his character Ataru is really quite amazing. You can really feel his emotions for yourself, and understand his need to save his family. While Ueda is originally the reason I was drawn to this drama, I think Ichihara is the reason I'm staying on board. I've only seen 4 out of the 9 episodes but that is because they haven't subbed that far read more

    that was a solid thriller. loved the tour about japan. the individual stories w/ their families. and the way they decided to surrender. the culprit was also very unexpectable, but also very realistic. i enjoyed it.

    This drama made me chew my nails down, and I'm not even a nail-biter. Probably one of the most intense, amazingly fantastic shows I have ever watched.

    I'm happy about Tat-chan getting a lead role, but I'm still a bit sad about the loss of his beautiful hair. (T T)
