Best I’ve seen in awhile

First off, I’d like to say that the obscurity of this drama made it very difficult to find a place to watch it. I don’t know why it doesn’t have more attention, because it was the coolest I’ve seen in awhile.

Story: Very gripping. Every second deeper made me want justice to be served, and that thought alone made my eyes glued till the very last episode. The MC has a lot of pain inflicted on her, and after falling in love with her character, all I wanted was to see pain inflicted on those horrible people who harmed her. It did teach us a lesson, because as I waited for there to be justice, there really wasn’t any served. But the lesson taught is the simple: two wrongs don’t make a right. In other words, treat others how you would like to be treated. I like to hope that karma kicked that bitch Anzai’s ass.

Music: Probably my least favorite part of the show. The same tacky soundtrack played over and over again. It was a fast paced track that gripped me just like the show did, but it really didn’t do it for me in the end.

Acting/Characters: The acting was very good, especially Manama/Anzai’s character. She really did a good job playing the emotionless psychopath. Somehow, I even managed to pity her a bit in the end. How pathetic on my part. I fell in love with Satori and Ayuma’s characters, as well as Sonoda. So I’d say the acting done there was spectacular as well!

Summary: All in all, this show is a gem. I’ve had a hard time focusing on the basic kdrama romances, and have since made a drastic shift towards Jdramas. There’s something about the rawness, realness, and dramatic aspect of them that is gripping, and this drama really made it all make sense for me. I recommend this for someone looking to get into Jdramas. Although not for the faint of heart, there is a great lesson to be learned in watching it.
