yoichi franck Aug 24 2020 8:58 pm this must be the info i have seen thanks all cast per chapter

Hachi Aug 12 2013 3:16 am I think i wanna be a detective after watching the whole series. There are so many 'naru hodo' moments..

athin Jan 08 2013 11:58 pm It's completely twisted at the end of the story. The truth is they love each other but cannot be confessed to, their hidden feeling lead to a dead of someone causing someone to think guilty over not her fault. Such a sad story! Tragic love triangle!
