RL Mar 29 2026 5:06 pm This is likely the best jdrama ever watched. Perfect blending of murder mystery and romance, with a totally intertwined story. Only 6 hours length so no boring moment with all scenes, all conversations meaningful if one pay attention. Unlike many jdramas usually leaving open ending if there is hard decision to be made (eg on the love relationships), the ending here is a well planned definitive exciting climax. There is no stone unturned in the last episode even only 40 minutes long. Wonderful acting from the main casts, bright cinematography even it is quite a dark drama. With the excellent storyline from a award winning novel this is an exceptional drama.

mao mao Mar 23 2026 9:12 am This is not your typical murder mystery drama. Every episode had me absolutely hooked and on the edge of my seat. The acting and and how the mystery unfolds is just thrilling. though I already had a hunch who did the killing, still the excitement never fades.

I just hope they did not end it just like that. I want to see more of their happy endings...them as a couple, the mother and son relationship, and all 4 of them hanging out together.

Highly recommended!
