Max Payne Apr 08 2021 5:16 am This one's of my favorite ones. First time I've watched it when it came out, second time these days. Now, when I too suffered personal loss of my beloved one, this dorama hit me more, the sore spot. I understand better now. Or, should I say, I feel it better now. At that time, young Shida Mirai really nailed it! Bravo!

Clarkdale44 Mar 21 2014 7:53 am Holy mother of god!!!, i hate to admit but i am totally went crazy after finishing it. I want to smash my head on the wall. Its no doubt that its full of cruelty. I regret that i even considered watching it. It is a punishment for whosoever is gonna watch it. Oh god why i watched it. Its a messed up drama. Watch it at your own risk!!! if you can bear it... The only thing i liked in the entire drama was the casting of Mirai Shida.

DON"T READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE YET TO WATCH THIS DRAMA:- Although the story concept was great, (story was the reason why i started watching it in the first place), it lacked common sense from all views. The drama was frustrating since the beginning, it was like a torturing test at higher level. So in the ending what i understood is Monami never came back, Naoko was just pretending to be monami so that she can get away from Heisuke. Well i had this hunch since the beginning because Naoko's heart was going back and fourth to her husband and other guys. Maybe she knew that Heisuke won't be moving on with his life unless he forgets his wife, this could be the reason of her actions at the end of the drama.

I will rate it 5/10(Great casting by Mirai Shida, i am impressed)

Melvina Dec 27 2012 4:28 am Hey there! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!

This drama is cruel. Yet the original novel is even more cruel simply to insane. If comparsion to movie is made, I would way the movie has spoiled the virtue of the original novel, making it tasteless. The TV drama, is just well balanced.

mofo Jan 14 2011 7:51 pm wth... why are they doing this. Himitsu the movie was perfectly good enough. and they decided to make a drama and drag on the tear-jerking-ness for at least 10 episodes.... like, why.

Ms GB Nov 21 2010 11:30 pm That's just creepy on soooo many different levels!
