G Nov 29 2025 5:15 am As a Mongolian, it was a must watch! But them speaking Mongolian was kinda hard on my ears, since it sounded like a made up accent and I could not comprehend what they were saying ?

Ramon Oct 20 2025 2:11 pm Next year there will be a season 2!

Tammy Oct 13 2024 2:16 pm This is one of my favorite drama. Lots of plot twist. The best part I think is acting. Those actors did extremely good job. So many characters were revealed to have different sides and acted well accordingly. I hope they made Vivant 2. And please have Kazunari Ninomiya in it. ??❤

Ambi Jul 13 2024 8:15 pm If you see Sakai Masato's name attached to a drama, you know it's worth watching. this drama has blown me away. It might just be one of my all-time favorites.

S Mar 23 2024 4:16 am All the shooting outside of Japan had been taken in Mongolia. Wow, what a beautiful, picturesque landscape. Gobi desert, broad steppe, mountainous lands all inside single country’s border. Very rate sight. Hail Mongolia!

Stephanie l Jan 06 2024 5:40 pm Wow. A show like this doesn't come around often! I'm still going over the many twists and turns as this outstanding, suspenseful, sad, beautiful show unfolds. A truly superb cast! Everything about this show is so well done that I kind of wished it wouldn't end for a long time.

Melankolis Nov 04 2023 8:20 am This is a seriously crafted drama. Huge budget for sure. The downside is that it has too many plot armors, too many coincidences, just like any other suspense/mystery J-doramas.

While i enjoyed it, i think the other drama in the same genre, Fumo Chitai, plot-wise, is still better.

reina Sep 24 2023 9:43 pm What is it about? Synopsis anyone .. please ..

Bart Aug 23 2023 9:25 am This drama has become my favorite Japanese TV show. The pace of the progression is very appropriate, and the plot is well-written. The characters in the story make real and intelligent decisions and choices; as a result, the story develops very organically and the plot-twist are very natural as well. There are hints, easter eggs, foreshadowing for the attentive viewers. Absolutely great show.

skinny Aug 20 2023 7:27 am the drama is amazing, keeps you on your toes and I'm at episode 6! Always a cliffhanger too

ama Jul 22 2023 10:47 am Oh my god….watched eps 1 and its a next level of japanese drama. Never watch dorama like this big and this luxurious, they have a big budget definitely. Episode 1 feels like a cinema movie, really really great. I can’t wait for another episode of this.

Juno00 Mar 14 2023 9:58 am Talk about star power! Hope the drama is as great as the cast!

kurisuu Mar 06 2023 9:23 am what a super cast!
