Kimura Takuya plays Ito Naoki, a mysterious man that seems to have some special childhood connection with Oba Minako. But she lost her memory long ago and doesn't really remember anything about her childhood or him.

Naoki knows almost everything about Minako and secretly invites her to the "Sleeping Forest". From there on their story begins, into a dark and romantic drama.

in both dramas the main charas are some kind of villain and the love story is pretty dark and both are masterpieces, Aishite tatte is full of twists I'd never expected and it comes with handsome male lead, Byakuyako is a lot darker overall and a lot more twisted, both are worth watching

A similar twisted tale of how people are caught in the situation and have to continue to commit crimes to survive. No matter how far they run, they always get caught up by the law. Dark, twisted and unpredictable.

If you enjoy dark twisted romance dramas then this is the drama for you, both have antiheroes as leads, lots of twists and turns, BUT Byakuyako is definitely darker since the female lead is the real villain, in the smile has left your eyes the male lead is the twisted one, both are worth watching with good acting.

If you like the leads getting involved in criminal acts you will like Byakuyakou. Though this last one takes the criminal side to the next level.
