Byakuyako was dark. Like really really dark. I didn't expected this much darkness lol I don't think there was a single moment that made me smile other than the first episode when they characters were falling in love when they were kids. I would've loved the drama a lot more than I do now but the things they started doing after a few episodes really made me hate the characters.

Although I understand it was intentional, as the makers wanted to "test" their audience or rather wanted to see if the audience will support the people who would do bad deeds when told why they do so and I'm a person that totally feels for literally most of the Villians in dramas but I definitely don't justify what they did.

It's the same here, no matter how bad they wanted me to pity them well I did pity and empathize with them in the beginning but then they reached a point where I just couldn't justify what they were doing.

They literally became merciless criminals and I think the transactioning is very brilliantly done and the story is brilliantly produced but it just wasn't that great to me since no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't love the characters .

Honestly I don't know why , it just couldn't touch my heart but I have to say it's an incredibly great drama that showcases every one is grey and criminals have their own "reasons" for becoming who they are. In a way the drama glorified their doings which just wasn't it for me.
