Wow, what a roller coaster of a drama that was! I absolutely enjoyed every second of it. The plot was unique and it kept you glued to the screen for all 45 minute of each episode. Amihama Saki is definitely one of the most interesting drama characters I've ever come across. She is a femme fatale but at the same time she is so much more than that. She is an abandoned kid, a lonely woman, a loving sister, a passionate nurse. Did she lead men to destruction? Yes. Was it wrong? Most likely. Can you blame her? Depends on the person, but most people would. But can you really hate her? Absolutely not. And that is for the simple reason that she is one of the most engaging character you'll ever see in a JDrama or any other Asian drama in general. And of course, needless to say that Nakama Yukie's portrayal of Saki was phenomenal. I don't think there is any other actress that could off that role as well as she did. Especially her acting in the last episode gave me chills. You could almost feel all the feelings she experienced without a word having to be spoken. As expected from one of Japan's most versatile actresses. Except from Nakama, the rest of the cast was amazing as well in terms of acting. Miura Shohei, Uchida Yuki, Hagiwara Masato and Takashima Masahiro were all outstanding in their respective roles. Finally the music came as the cherry on top of this wonderful drama. Jane Doe by Takahashi Minami in the opening them, Catch Me by Tohoshinki in the end and all the other songs during the episodes fitted perfectly the whole atmosphere and mood of the show and made the tension even more palpable.
I gave the rewatch value only a seven, just because I think the show loses some points if take off the mystery that is a big a part of its charm when you watch it for the first time.
All in all it was a great drama and I definitely recommend it to anyone that can appreciate a multi layered character and amazing acting.
