This was a great drama. The twists just kept coming. And since I went in unspoiled, I was really shocked by some of them!

I watched it mainly and mostly for Fukushi Sota. I love it when he plays Good Boys(TM). And here he played a Truly Good Boy(TM)! So righteous and, well, innocent, I would say - or maybe naive? - about how the world of big time politics worked. What I loved, though, was that a) he didn't let himself get corrupted or swayed from his path to make justice prevail and b) he didn't turn bitter, not even at the end when pretty much everyone disappointed him in one way or another, his closest people included.

Also, I wonder what that last scene with his character meant, when he heard Habu's voice. Was it just his imagination? Who knows...

This is a thriller series where the bad guy is obvious from the get-go but he's also very, very powerful and when he actually starts going after the team, he pretty much demolishes them. The second half of the drama has the team losing on all fronts and it's not until the finale that they manage to wring out some sort of a victory. But it's not a clean-cut one, in my opinion. Though they stop the evil plan of evil, they pay for it and the mastermind still doesn't pay his dues, not really.
