A great show
I like this drama but not a lot 😅 I can'tunderstand the people saying that it's
the best drama for them like I mean I
agree it's good and not boring but it's
not THAT good in my opinion or I
guess I'm just being picky again😂
Ok so as you read in the plot the drama
is about two guys who are not gay😂 I
seriously am watching so many BLs
so like I have clear myself as who is
gay and who is not😂 please don't
mind me.... Yeah so one guy is on
wheel chair due to some unknown
disease and the other guy has no job
and just is an errand boy in his 30s 😂
they both work in a company where
their client gives them a file in his or
her computer or laptop which they
wants to be deleted after they die and
they give that job to our boys. So like
basically most of the people have
some kinds of secrets that they don't
want to tell anyone even after their
death and that's why they ask them to
be deleted cuz no one will do that after
they are dead. According to the rules
they are not allowed to see their client's
data themselves but that would be no
fun so the drama is about 8 special
cases where they see the data and you
know investigate who killed or why did
they did suicide or why did do that or
this. It can be called an investigation
type of drama but is kinda different.
The stories and the clients are always
different every episode. My most
favourite episodes are the supernatural
one and the gay one cuz really the plot
twist at both of them was something
even I didn't imagined. Besides those
episodes the other stories were kind of
predictable but I still enjoyed them a
lot for sure. The bromance was of
course good. Romance is not at all
there sadly😅 but yeah the bromance is
strong. Also every story teaches some
kind of life lessons and that is
something I really liked. Basically if you
are into investigation type of dramas
this one is for you.

That qoute applies to mental violence too. NGL, I have a soft spot for characters that are struggling to be better, comparing themselves from everyone and hating themselves why they can't be more better at anything cuz more than half of my life I have cried over this. Although I'm fine and have realised that doing things like that is not only stupid but self-destructive, I know the feeling to well for me to not feel bad for our main character.
This drama is about how society is running at such a fast paced that Normal people like us that don't stand out or aren't special are automatically rejected by society. No matter how hard you try they are gonna reject you and call you a useless human being. As someone who's experienced this, it hits too close to home.
We have a protagonist that wants to stand out and wants to hear one atleast one compliment from her own mother. The drama is not for everyone. It's dark and unsettling. It explores the mind of a criminal with depth. It goes deep down into the theory that monsters are made by society and not born. Definitely it's the criminal's fault for becoming a criminal, maybe if someone else was in their situation they still wouldn't have lost their morals but I love these kinds of stories where they show how they became a criminal without glorifying anything.
sometimes sadness is so bottled up inside you that it turns into rage. This story is also the portrayal of that. It's definitely a mystery but the psychological parts are more important imo but it sure has its plot twists that doesn't seem forced and fits the story well.
The acting is also very well done as aspected from the well aclaimed cast and the musuc reallu got you into the atmosphere.
I was kinda confused if I should give it a 9.5 or 10 but that ending just got my feelings all over the place so it's a 10/10

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.

A great mixture of family lessons and mystery
This one reminded me a lot about Nno tame ni and sky castle. It's a
honestly a perfect fusion of two
amazing dramas but I don't wanna
compare masterpieces to other
masterpieces. Although the dramas
do has a lot of similarities to N no
tame ni and I think that is because
the author of both of the dramas is
the same. So the narrative is kinda
same. This drama is more of a
family drama than a mystery one. I
also started it for the mystery of
who is the killer? But when I
reached the end of the drama the
killer didn't matter anymore. I was
more interested in the character's
life, their difficulties and how would
they overcome them. If you like
mystery dramas you'll surely like
this one but if you like family
dramas then please watch this one
cuz it's truly good!
The shows focuses on two families,
one is rich and the children in the
family all are gifted students plus
they all are the kindest people in
the world. The other family is also
kind but they are not at all rich and
hence living with the rich people
resulted in the family losing their
happiness. Now a murder occurs in
our PERFECT family but when?
Why in the world a murder occurred
in a family so perfect like theirs?
The drama literally tells us that
every family has their secret and
the problems a family faces and
how should they overcome them.
I'm not at all the person to watch a
family drama, I watched this drama
for the mystery but the honestly the
family drama is so good that I just
got pulled into it. I'm still not a big
fan of family dramas but I guess
this was an exception. Also I was
very surprised to see Taishi
nakagawa in this drama and he's
so small like a baby 🥺🥺
The only thing I don't like about this
drama is it's name. It doesn't make
sense. Ok I know the Ferris wheel
has a part in the drama but it's not
that major and it had nothing to
with the murder. I think they
should've named it something
else. Like " family's secret " or idk.
I'm so bad at naming things but
the current name is not good too.
Ok so moving on the drama is literally
gold! And I loved it. I finished it in
3 days 😂😂 every episode is
suspensfull and interesting. The
characters are something very
important in this one. Overall it
deserves to be watch atleast one
time in life!!!

One of the best psychological thriller
I finished this drama in just 2 days lolmost probably because I was free cuz it
is summer vacations and also the drama
is kinda short. Now I watched this drama
in a rush because I read in a
psychological article that this drama’s
one character has the same personality
as me and I can relate with him and
when there is a character whom I can
relate with then the drama becomes 10
times more interesting for me lol.
Now let’s talk about the drama. As you
have already read in the synopsis the
drama is about three brothers, all of them
hate their father. Now their father is killed,
all the brothers are prime suspect but who
is the killer? Yes the drama is definitely a
mystery and crime investigation type but
that is not its main genre or theme which
makes the drama more interesting.
The drama is pure psychological and so is
the book which it is based on. The drama
explores the minds and lives of the three
brothers and how they hate their father
and their own weaknesses and goodness.
My favourite character is without a doubt
ryo because he is the one I relate with
and he is my twin as the article said. I
really loved how everyone respected him
and loved him, even their evil father
respected him and that just shows how
valuable I am lol just kidding but
seriously the portrayal of ryo’s life and
worries was excellent cuz his problems
are totally my problems. We both our own
worst critics even though everyone loves
us haha.
Basically the drama is all about how a
person has a dark and bad side to him or
her. All the three brothers have a dark
side to them and all of them secretly
wish their father to be dead but who is
the one who obeyed his dark side and
really killed the father? Its totally one of
the best representation of human nature
and its dark side and also talks about
society. The story is really incredible at
least for me who loves psychological
dramas and this one is without a doubt
the best one I have seen yet.
I also fell in love with it's cinematography
and camera angels also its editing is
unique but wonderful and fits the drama
perfectly. The drama is for sure
character driven and even if you don’t
like dark stuff I recommend this drama
to you because I think this is one of
those dramas that every human should
watch as it makes us question about
humanity and their nature.
It totally was an unforgettable watch
and the mystery good too. Even though
my guess of who the kiler is was correct
but you know what I am mostly right so
that’s no biggie but for those who are
new in mystery and can’t really guess
who the killer is, the mystery is great for
them but for the people like me and my
mother who are experienced with these
kinds of shows, you people might guess
the killer like me. The only thing I disliked
about this drama is that my twin ryo
didn’t got a girlfriend. I mean are people
like us destined to be single forever ? lol

A masterpiece of a heart-touching slice-of-life story
I wanted to watch a slice-of-life drama and I found this.I loved the synopsis and started it and God what a ride. Usually slice-of-life dramas are slow and that's why some people don't like them cuz slow means boring to them.Honestly, I too am not much fond of slow dramas but this slice-of-life drama was just awesome! From the beginning to the end it was never boring! I wouldn't say it was slow I would say it was too fast and intense! Like so much intensity it had! AHH.
Like in the first episode 1 guy died and the other wanted to murder 😳😳😳( this is not a spoiler I swear haha )
As you might have read in the story part, the drama is about two families. One family is of the victim and the other one is of the killer. It's the story of their struggles and the unusual relationship of them.
As a slice-of-life drama, it was given that it would be a realistic one but many slice-of-life dramas exaggerate things, this one wasn't like that. All the things that happened felt real.
It was honestly too real and it my heart feels pain whenever I think that these kinds of things really happens in reality.
The drama was a mega hit in Japan and MDL reviews were all positive, after completing I think it deserves all the love it got cuz the screenwriting is amazing
( truly deserved the award) I usually love to analyse scripts and this one has one of the best I swear! Every dialogue has depth and meaningful. It really has an amazing script!
And the acting...oh lord oh...I don't have words to describe how much I liked the acting. Seriously although only one of the main actor won the best actor award I really think others deserved it too!
Specially the actress who played aki's mother cuz god her acting was fabulous! Every actor and actress is just... incredibly amazing. Really it is hard to find a drama with such great cast.
The emotions delivered were so amazing. The drama felt realistic cuz of the amazing script and the amazing way it was delivered by the incredible actors!
The direction didn't caught much of my attention even though all the three directors won the best director awards 😂😂 but it wasn't so special to me 😅
The picture quality was rubbish so the drama won't be cup of tea for every one cuz a lot of people want to see dramas of good picture quality which is something I don't care about but whatever.
If I had to describe the show in one line then it would " the families struggling to find happiness in life".
Yes the whole drama is just about that. Happiness. It's a word both of the families want to have but can't since 15 years and maybe will never obtain it.
The drama shows how some wounds can never heal...or maybe they can.. idk...no one knows.
It's a very tragic story like very. I cried in literally every episode. I mean they weren't literal tears. They were little tears idk how to explain lol but yes.
As I said it's a very intense drama , seriously it is. It has kind of a dark humour too if you like that like I do 🌚🌚🌚
It's an amazing slice-of-life drama with a very flowing story. Like it's not slow and it's not fast, it's flow is just perfect. With amazing characters and yes psychology!
Psychology is in there cuz there is a guy with some mental illness and I love how they tried to tell the audience his feelings too and not just label him as the "villian".
Overall this drama is an amazing slice-of-life with a tragic story and a message " no matter what life throws at you, you'll still live" the message is cruel but all the drama they are trying to tell us that life is hard but we gotta
love for no reason. Just live. It's not a drama to describe by one. It's a drama you'd understand while watching it yourself and feeling every thing.
Just watch it if you love slice-of-life dramas or tragic dramas! This one has got a place in my favourite do ana list without a further ado! And no wonder the drama won the best drama award in Japan! Truly deserved!

Great mixture of slice-of-life and mystery
Ok so I finished this drama and guesswhat I loved it! Lol that was pretty obvious
😂 The drama is a perfect mystery but in
the end you will realize it is more of
slice-of-life drama and that is totally not a
turn off for me! Cuz I love both of the
genres and when I got both of them mixed
perfectly in one drama then it's certain that
I am going to like it!
As you have read in the plot it's a story
about four friends whose name starts
from N and the murder case of a couple
and their name starts from N too lol. The
whole drama is focused on people named
N 😂 but it's really interesting. Nishizaki
got arrested in the murder of Naoko
Noguchi's husband ( whose name I forgot
😅) he confessed that he killed him
because he killed Naoko who he was
having an affair with.
At that time, his three friends were
" coincidentally" in the same room. He told
his lawyer that " everyone did everything
for each N".
After 10 years, he got realised from jail and
now an officer is reinvastigating the case
because he doubts the fact that nishizaki
is the killer. The whole drama tells us the
story from 1999 to 2004 mainly and also
skips back to 2014 that is the present time.
The events that lead to the murder of
Noguchi couple and what happened that
night? Who is the real killer? These are the
two big questions of the drama. They are
quit similar to any good drama. But the
thing that separates it from other mystery
dramas is that it doesn't focus only on
solving the mystery. It focuses on the life
of the characters and their feelings. Also
their definition of "Love".
I started this drama cuz it looked like a
good mystery one and also it is written by
my favourite writer. Yes the mystery is very
good. So good that even intelligent people
like me and my mother could not guess
who the killer is 😂 but the slice of life
element is as strong. I watched for the
mystery and loved the characters and their
lives even more. The ending is very
satisfying. Again that doesn't mean the
ending is happy. It also doesn't mean that
it is sad. That is for you to discover.
Overall I loved the drama very much. I have
a lot of things to say but if I speak more
then I will spoil it which will be bad cuz it's
a mystery drama. Overall if you like
mystery and slice of life dramas then this
one is surely for you.

The best revenge drama for me
I just finished this drama and I reallydon't have words to describe my
feeling for this drama since I'm so
emotional right now let me try my best
cuz well that's my job. This drama is a
remake a Korean one named LUCIFER
but since it had 20 episodes and this
one had 11 and this one had two hot
guys I decided to watch this one 😂 ( I
like hearing Japanese more than Korean
maybe that's why but whatever) .
Now to me this drama is not at all
Maou becuase I don't know what that
means but I think the name LUCIFER
totally suits the story as our main
character is totally like him. Now for
those who don't know Lucifer, he is
mythological character who was known
to be a very beautiful, hardworking, god's
and everyone's favourite angel.
Everyone loves him and so one day he
got over-confident and thought that he is
equal to god. God didn't liked his
over-confidence and as a punishment
he sent Lucifer to live in earth for few
months and come back but when
Lucifer started living in our human world,
a lot of bad things happened to him
which bad him turned into evil.
The most favourite angel Lucifer became
a Satan within few months. He never
went back to heaven as he had turned
into a devil. Honestly speaking I never
hated Satan even though he is known to
be a devil. Satan only punishes those
people who have had done something
evil.
He has never ruined an innocent people's
life. That is I never hated Lucifer too and
that is why I never hated ryo ( the
protagonist of our series ) who is just
like Lucifer and I also never hated naoto
( the other protagonist of our story ) . Of
course that is totally how I think. Now
you might be wondering how I got the
info of Lucifer and Satan well Click Here
to know the full story.
Now let me explain how Ryo naruse is a
best example of another Lucifer. Ryo
was a very kind hearted person. Totally
like an angel until his younger brother
died or should I say was killed by his
rich classmate naoto. Naoto never got
his crime's punishment becuase he
was rich and his dad proves him
innocent due to connections and all but
ryo wanted justice for his brother .
He wanted justice for himself, for his
family. He ruined his life by killing his
brother and soon his mother died to
sorrow. His life got ruined and now it
was his turn to ruin naoto's life. The
whole drama is about the revenge of
him and honestly speaking I have
watched a bunch of revenge dramas
and yet this one is a very unique.
I am not very fond of revenge on a
whole but this drama showed revenge in
a very different and realistic way unlike
other dramas of the same genre and I
really really liked it. If it was another
revenge drama the main hero would've
killed people from his own hands or
something but this is not at all the case
here.
Ryo is so smart that he never kills his
enemies from his own hands, he makes
some else kill them by making those
types of coincidences or make it a
natural death or accident. He even
saves the people who he "accidentally"
made killers as you know he is a lawyer
but that is not all the reasons why I love
this drama.
The drama showed us the feeling ryo
totally well. Even though he killed many
people for his own satisfaction and
revenge he never got satisfied, he
always felt bad for the people who died.
He calls himself a devil but to me he is
an angel, ok calling him an angel would
be too much because we can't forget
the fact that he is a murderer and that is
why I like to call him Lucifer or Satan.
Now let's come to naoto, our second
protagonist. He suffers from PTSD or in
simple language past truama. He killed
someone ( accidentally) in his past and
still suffers from the guilt and he should
there is no doubt in that. I don't wanna
spoil the drama but let me tell you that I
loved him too even though he is a
murderer and well so is ryo. His life too
is not at all good just like ryo. Ryo and
naoki shares a lot in common. Both of
them claims themselves as a devil but in
reality they both are Lucifer.
Their relationship is one of the unique
ones I have ever seen. They both are
enemies but the love they both develope
for each other reaching the end is so....I
won't call them enemies. They hate and
love each other at the same time. They
are frenemies for sure😂
I am not gonna spoil the ending but I am
really satisfied with it. Really this drama
is my favourite revenge till now. I can't
say about the future but this one is
gonna stay in fav list forever and that's
for sure. The way the drama portrayed
the feeling of both of our protagonists
is just awesome and damn like this what
I want from dramas. To show the good
side of the villian. That no one is a devil.
But of course if you have done a sin you
will have to pay for it cuz karma is a real
thing in the drama.
Ryo and naoki made me very confused
as I loved both of them and who should I
support but the end made it very clear😂
Oh also the female lead in this drama
totally me. Poor her and poor me😂
Also I love how Japanese people make
dramas and their cinematography the
most becuase the cinematography is
totally based on the genre of the drama.
If the drama is happy then the scenes
are filled with colourful things, cherry
blossoms and all. If the drama is sad
then the atmosphere is very dark and it
just feels like the genre suits the story
very well.
In conclusion watch this drama if you
love revenge, psychology and mystery
kind of dramas. Cuz this one balances
all of them very well and you will surely
be not bored. The drama has a little
romance but not that much. Also
prepare for tissues before handed 😂

It makes you cry more than one litre
This is a kind of drama that will make youcry if you are human if you did not cry then
you are not a human !! Period. Like a little
slightly a teenie tiny tear can also prove
your humanity ... But no !
This drama is not only to make you cry .
This drama shows the sad tragic reality to
you which many of you don't know about
but happens to lot of people in this world
how the overcome it and learn from them
how to live your life ...
If I have to describe this show in one
sentence it will " this story is about a girl's
fight through a deadly terrible dieseas " . It
teaches a lot of lesson .You know this girl
has a disease which makes her unable to
walk , talk, eat ,. write and literally
everything ! But still this girl wants to
live !
Even though she can't go to bathroom
without someone's support , even though
she can't achieve her dreams, live a
normal life , have a boyfriend even though
all of these this girl wants to live and
force us all to live !
This drama do not only talk about aya it
also tell a about her family ...her parents
...her sister and brothers .. her freinds and
all the persons around her surrounding .
It shows you that how people treat disable
people and how you should actually treat
them .The way you treat them now is not
right ! This drama shows you the right
way !
In the end this drama is a hidden gem in
kdrama community or internationally. But
in Japan it's last episode received rating
of 20%+. So you can understand the
popularity ....
It contains the best actors as the mains.
But other actors did their job perfectly .So
this drama is a kind of drama that you
should watch before dying !! This is a
must!!! The fact that Aya really existed
makes me cry even more. Well in
conclusion I love this drama.

One of the Best time travel and crime drama ever!
I watched this drama very recently and ohgod I loved it. I was a little scared that I
would not like this drama but I freaking
loved it so much. I thought at first that it
would be another drama where we have
to find a serial killer and all and well it
was kinda same but we had to find two
serial killers and a lot more than that.
The thing I loved the most about it that
unlike some detective dramas it showed
the corruption of the police department
and how rich people get away even though
they commit a big crime. It was like an
eye-opener. The time-travel element was
very well written and executed it had its
own rules and they never were broken.
The actors did their jobing like so perfectly.
I specially liked the old detective like
whenever he cried it felt totally real. The
most thing I liked was how the characters
and the story both was so well balanced.
It was just amazing of a drama. Another
thing I liked that the criminals weren’t
labeled as “human trash” just because they
did a crime.
It showed how victim’s family and
criminal’s family was effected to. And just
it was a fabulous drama and I am eagerly
waiting or the season 2. The ending left
me speechless and it needs to have a
season 2! It needs to!

So, Not gonna lie, this is actually a pretty good adaption. The thing I loved the most about it is casting choices and the CGI. The cast looks exactly like the ones in the webtoon and if they didn't, they made them look similar but great make-up and while the CGI was hated by a lot of people and I can see why, I still loved it becuase literally every monster looks just like it looked in the webtoon! The CGI isn't used to make the monsters look realistic, it's used to make them look how they were in the original webtoon and props to them cuz they really did well! They are supposed to be unrealistic and sometimes funny!
Another thing that is pretty good about it is that it stays true to the original content to some extent. Yes they have changed a few important things but they still followed the original work quite well. I've seen a LOT of adaptions of my favourite original work, be it a book, webtoon, manga etc etc and most of the adaptions disappointed me but this one didn't. The changes were forgivable in my opinion.
What I did not liked though is that some characters are definitely written and shown differently to the audience than the webtoon. The webtoon goes VERY deep into the psychology of it all and although the drama does that too but it's not as deep as the webtoon and more feels like a normal zombie apocalypse thingy.
Now let's talk about the acting, it was good enough but definitely not mind-blowing. I was expecting song Kang to give me those bad boy vibes who was done wrong by society but they showed him as innocent and a victim since the beginning which took away the fun and enjoyment of it all . Seeing him grow as a person. Although again they did show some of it but the sane depth wasn't there. Song Kang's acting again was good enough. Not bad at all but definitely not super impressive and honestly I feel that about everyone here.
It's actually a good drama if you dobt compare since it has good depth in characters with grear psychological insights but still not as awesome as the webtoon.
Background music was actually good for every situation they were but nothing memorable.
Rewatch value ? Watching the whole drama was re-watching the story for me so I'm definitely not gonna re-watch it lmao
Ok, so in conclusion, if you haven't read the webtoon and enjoy gory things with psychological elements then this is definitely for you!
If you have read the webtoon then you may not enjoy it much but it's still good.
Is it scary ? If you can't watch gory things then don't watch it. Other than that its good. It's not necessarily scary but definitely a lot of blood lmao
Enjoy watching! Thanks for reading my review!

One of my all time favourites
All of my friendsknow how big of a moon lovers fan
I am. I just love this drama so so
so so much and there are so many
reasons for that as it is sad and you
all know how much I love sad and
tragic dramas.
2nd thing is the actors I mean you
gotta accept the fact that the cast is
amazing consisting lee jong gi, IU,
kang ha neul, ji soo, nam joo hyuk
and many more fabulous actors (
and they all are hot too ). They all
potrayed their characters so well that
I was fascinated by it.
3rd reason is the story of course. I
mean for me story is the main
important thing in any drama. The
story was very well written that in the
first episode it made me laugh out
loud and so they made me connect
with the characters and when I got
enough time to connect with the
character they broke our hearts by
making them suffer a lot.
I won't tell how they suffer as it will be
a spoiler. The characters were well
written. I liked the fact that nobody
was “perfect” as a lot of dramas do.
And the chemistry between the leads
was awesome! From episode 1 till the
last episode I laughed with them, I
cried with the. If it was a sad scene I
would feel bad for them if it was a
happy scene I would feel happy for
them, overall their chemistry was on
another level!
Like they are my favorite couple that’s
for sure. I really liked the female lead
too. Even though many people don’t
like her but I think she was very strong
and had her own very understandable
reasons for doing the things that she
did in the end. If I were in her place i
would have done the same.
Overall the drama holds a very special
place in my heart as it’s the first and
last kdrama that made me cry a lot
and not only me but even my mom.
She cried more than me and she also
loved this drama so if my mom likes
something then it has to be the best.
Period.
