Ai Dec 01 2017 12:01 am Good drama. Not really a "medical" drama per se because it's main focus is about the revenge of Asumi. But all the same, I enjoyed watching it. The ending was unexpected which is a good thing.

yumabandai Oct 20 2017 1:27 am Aoi Nakamura’s smile makes me screaming and bring me here!! geat job yuma -Sensei, can’t forget your smile and kindness, ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lala Oct 19 2015 12:58 am Very good drama! I love Aoi Nakamura, and I like Ueno Juri in Nodame Cantabile. But I'm sad because of Aoi Nakamura's character died :'(

Margaux Jun 08 2015 4:14 pm Same plot as a certain otome game that I loved XD

Anna Jan 03 2015 7:45 pm Amazing drama! Ueno Juri, Nakamura Aoi and Odagiri Joe did an awesome job portraying their characters! Its a must watch!

r-pupu Jun 19 2014 2:41 am great drama! the story is like fusion of Revenge and Grey's Anatomy

nana-chan Jun 14 2014 2:18 am I've just read the last episode's spoiler.. can't wait to watch the final episode...

Bored with romance theme, revenge theme is the best! And this drama is the best!!! Excellent screenwriter with outstanding actors-actresses! Simple plot, but the secret revealed one by one, made the viewer curious from episode to episode!!

THIS DRAMA REALLY DESERVES AWARD!!!

avanpiper May 12 2014 2:34 am I continue to be amazed by Ueno Juri, how she can switch from a sweet smile and transformed into the evil full of hatred stare is awesome beyond words. I'm glad she continues to challenge herself with contrasting roles each time.

ai May 04 2014 6:34 am Yeah, she's really good in here. She's so into the character seems real. I'm a fan of her because of this drama too.
