Story:
As a fan of revenge dramas, I was sad to find this drama to be rather terrible. Info dropping nonstop, making the villains WAY TOO EVIL, and twists that don't even make much sense when you logically take a stop back. All of the main characters actions were reckless. I didn't believe anything. A waste of a good idea, and a great cast.

Revenge dramas work best, in my opinion, when the balance between good and evil is hard to distinguish. You want the main character to win, but you question the morals behind what they are doing. This drama doesn't have that. Everything is written out for you.

"This person is evil, hate them, look at how evil they are. Also, believe this ridiculous jump in accusations being made! Just do it. Don't question it!"

Snore.

Acting/Cast :
The main cast was brilliant. Ueno Juri did a great job, as she normal does, and I honestly feel a bit robbed that the writing held her back so much. Odagiri Joe did a good job as well.

The supporting cast, however, I felt that some of them didn't fit the rolls well. A few of the doctors and nurses didn't look old enough to have been in the positions they were in 15 years ago. It made me a bit confused about what was going on at times.

Music:

I loved the insert song, and the music was spot on. It reminded me a lot of Hiroyuki Sawano's style, who I love, but it was actually done by Yokoyama Masaru. I will have to pay more attention to him in the future.

Rewatch Value:
No. I wouldn't wish this on myself twice, ever.
