Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Michinari Shiga (Takaya Kamikawa) works as a deputy editor for weekly magazine Shukan Jiryu. The magazine has seen a rise in its sales by breaking numerous scandals. Michinari Shiga lives his life faithfully as a journalist, but his life suddenly changes. His son, who attends a university, kills someone he has stalked and then kills himself. Instead of chasing after scandals, Michinari Shiga now finds himself the target of other journalists. He is also demoted to another magazine and his relationship with his wife deteriorates. He falls into a desperate situation, but he approaches the truth behind his son's case.

Adam66 Apr 01 2021 8:49 pm One of the best dorama of all-time not because of the uniqueness of the plot but the acting of the main roles is amazing.Also an amazing job by the director

Artanu88 Dec 12 2020 9:46 pm This series somehow occurred in the same universe as the Seiren no Zange. Takashima Masanobu portrayed the same police officer, Kudo Kenji, in both series. Both series are adapted from the novels of same author too.
