Started watching the drama because of Oguri Shun, not to mention that the setting of the story is pretty interesting. It's an intriguing take to be honest, a mystery and detective drama involving one who could see and talk to the dead.

The cases were also interesting as well, and it was amazing how the cases ended up connecting to each other and how as Ango began to get used to his new-found ability his life began to spiral more towards the dark side.

While the manga gave clear hints as to why and how Ango was able to see the recently dead and talk to them, I like how the drama didn't outright explain it to the viewer because in doing that we're also learning more about Ango's ability as he realise it and allowing us to relate more to Ango as a person. And I love how the drama's tone was much more serious compared to the manga.

Love the soundtrack and how the main theme could convey many different emotions from Ango depending on the seriousness of the cases that he faced. Great writing as well as execution, I wished that there's more episodes for the drama just so I could continue seeing Ishikawa Ango a little bit longer.
