Random Passbyer Apr 21 2021 12:05 am Adapted from a shoujo-josei manga. Some parts logic are a little off, and some lines feel somewhat cheesy (again, the source). Overall ok as a time-killer. Too bad they edit out some of the darker part of the manga.

I would suggest check out other adapted dramas from Akiko Higashimura if you like this drama.

Flam Mar 11 2021 12:57 am Aaaaahhh!!! I didnt expect i would love this dorama!! Maria is just so much like moriarty and i ship her so hard with akechi. I always love when psycho end up attracting each other. In each episode when i think akechi would go to ichigo, i was surprised that he still chose maria. Aaaahhh!!! I love them that i was so sad it end with maria's death. Is she? Well.. it seems like now its koko's turn to be the new maria. Is this gonna get season 2???

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!
