I can't remember the last time I was this happy that the bad guy got away! Over the course of the drama I really came to love J. Was he a murderer? Sure he was. Was he unhinged? You betcha. Did I adore him? Muchly!!!

This drama was so over the top and so crazy in certain moments but, goodness gracious, did they keep the twists coming! The twist with Takagi's dad! The twist with J and Otoya! The twist with the identity of K! The twist with Otoya's grandfather at the end!!!

The last ep in particular had so much to unpack. I think my favorite part was the kidnapping of Otoya. The way Takagi rushed to his best friend's rescue, his despair, partially fueled by his guilt of not having trusted Otoya before. And then the scene with Otoya and J...! When you compare it to how carelessly J sacrificed K, the way he treated Otoya was very different. I mean, who lets his henchmen drive his hostage safely back home?

The relationships between Takagi & J, Takagi & Otoya, and Otoya & J... So fascinating! They were all so tangled together! It was Takagi who put stop to the terrorist attack 2 years ago which put J's father in prison which led to Otoya's grandfather faking J's death to save J from prison which led to Otoya's mother's suicide... Gosh!

All the glaring inaccuracies and certain characters' dumb decisions aside, the main plot was so smart and the reveals that kept coming kept me on the edge of my seat! I loved it!
