I gave this an 8 because this drama managed to keep my curiosity till the last episode. Part 2 continues from where part1 left off - the apartment residents and police trying to solve the murder mystery in their own way by putting the pieces together.
The plot keeps you on your toes. The murderswap game of apartment residents and the resulting murders, are they really related? Ono Chan becomes more creepier in part 2 . Sao who works at meat processing facility also gives more creepy vibes. Kuroshima's smiling stalker Uchiyama definitely tops the creepers list. Doyan - Is he really helping Tezuka in solving Nana chan's murder or does he have any hidden motive? Tamiya - is he really learning acting or venting his frustrations of feeling guilty? The Nurse and the creepy grandma - are they related to these murders??? The writer has done a great job in making us suspect many people, eventhough towards the end it becomes more or less clear who the culprit is.
Nishino Nanase(Kuroshima Sawa), Nao(Ono Chan), Kakei Miwako(Nurse), Uchiyama( Kuroshima chan's ever smiling high-school mate - could not find his real name), Ryusei(Nikaido, Doyan), Nanase Katsuhisa(Tamiya), Katagari Jin(The doc), Ando(Sao), Creepy grandma etc all did their roles well.. I mentioned only creepy people because to successfully portray creepiness it takes certain effort. Of course our favorite mystery loving couple Shouta( Tanaka Kei) and Nana(Harada Tomoyo) did a great job as well.
I would have wanted improvement on the music, though the music was creepy enough when showing Ono chan, other creepy acts and pre murder attempts deserved a chilling mood setting music to build up the suspense.
The end is just another beginning (nowadays for many dramas, it seems so). Ending seems like, part 2 was forced to end there to create a part 3 for the coming episodes. So we certainly have to wait for part 3. We got a glimpse of part3 in the last episode and it seems interesting enough for me to wait for it. This is the beauty of J Drama mysteries - the plot never disappoints.
