^AGREED! this drama is so f'in intense! i to need to re watch it. i think they should make another list for re watching things

Is each episode really 36 minutes?

I watched this one several years ago, and it is definitely one of my faves. The story, acting, and the overall message it conveys = Awesome Definitely on my list of re-watchable dramas.


*edit* Actually that vid is pretty spoilery in my opinion

Gonna rewatch this as soon as my torrent finishes dling

so I decided I'd just make one by uploading and cutting them off myself.
So, I edited the top post. I downloaded an episode and cut the into to look like a trailer.
Its not really hq, But I guess it is better than nothing. Its uploaded now..
This drama is without a doubt one of the best ones out there..
Somehow, I can't help but feel bad for Katsumi-kun.
I'm not really able to hate him despite of his role in the whole drama. I surely Hate his father though..

I definitely agree about the father, but I don't really feel a lot of sympathy for Katsumi. While he may have been screwed up because of his dad, it's not an excuse in my opinion.

BTW Great job on the trailer :D

I thought that too when I watched it. I hated him but also he was kinda attractive in that creepy way (The same way why GACKT was attractive in Tempest)

After seeing this topic, i feel like watching it again XD
