Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

On Christmas morning, Ryoko Fujino (Moka Kamishiraishi) finds her classmate Takuya Kashiwagi’s dead body at their snow covered school. The police and the school conclude that Takuya Kashiwagi died by suicide. At that time, an anonymous letter is delivered to Ryoko Fujino. The letter states that Takuya Kashiwagi was murdered by a group of students including Shunji Ooide. The media and SNS begin to question whether Takuya Kashiwagi really died by suicide or was he murdered. The school principal tries to take control of the narrative, but this leads to a more chaotic situation.

Ryoko Fujino is disturbed by people's reaction to Takuya Kashiwagi’s death. She asks for a trial and an unprecedented school trial begins.

Delchan Jan 28 2022 8:57 am Already watched the 2015 version and that was soooo god! I love it more than the korean version! But this remake is beyond my expectation! it's worth to watched! 7,8/10!

David Kang Dec 07 2021 12:57 am The two-part 2015 version were movies, not TV series. So this is another adaptation, not a remake.

Grandmalee Dec 05 2021 9:52 pm I can't compare this tv dramatization to the original novel because I haven't read it. As tv entertainment, the early part of the series is interesting, with much room for speculation as to who the culprit is for causing the student's death, if indeed it is not suicide. The students decide to hold a trial to find out the truth, and that's when the series turns into a farce. Do the students know enough about what a court trial is, along with all the legal technicalities about procedure, law, etc. How can they even get through the process from moment to moment, or who and when to say what? It turns out that it's the director, film editor, and script writer, who do this work by arranging the shots rather than the students. It's too much of a mockery of the real thing, and I am surprised that the adults (principal, teachers, parents) are willing to go along. I just can't take it seriously.

Sawacchi Aug 08 2021 8:42 pm Why did they make another adaptation? The 2015 version is already so great, no need for another version. I don't think Moka can beat Ryoko Fujino. Anyway, good luck

jojo Jun 11 2021 12:23 am she looks just like her sister it's scary!

Michan May 04 2021 3:15 pm The actress? i don't really like her Her acting is kinda over and whatsoever Anyway, good luck

Leia May 03 2021 12:52 pm Why are they going to do another series again? The 2015 was good, I still don't understand why to redo but good luck !!!

Watcher May 03 2021 5:51 am Why do they need to remake this again?
