pancake Nov 04 2020 5:45 pm the persona 5 spin off is looking cool joker

Jean Jul 07 2020 3:31 am I'm upset with the ending :"( it's not like what i expected. But that's good ending if we sum up with the whole story. But still i can't accept it :(( I ship Akechi & Ichigo :(((

chesstitans Jun 04 2020 1:28 am In the episode 2, there is an logical error. That is, the police should have checked CCTV cameras of the hotel. In that case, the police may think that the culprit, who is also the woman in the episode 1, is a random killer.

Why the detective does not ask the hotel manager for the CCTV cameras can be understood. It is because he already knows how and how the murderer is after his assistant comes back from the kitchen.

Gorogoro May 07 2020 10:19 pm I thought it would be lame like the others live action dorama. But no, this is really good and not boring at all. Tomoya Nakamura is so handsome and good acting!
