Clarkdale44 Mar 26 2014 9:02 am Holy!! That's new, i had no idea what this show was about until the very end. Its was very surprising and interesting. I am glad i watched it.

Don't read further if you have yet to watch this drama:- I just don't understand a single major thing, how can Futaba Kobayashi become pregnant? Abe Akiko stated that her clones Futaba and Mariko won't be able to get pregnant because couldn't as well.

Anyway it was a great watch. I will recommend it. I will give ti 9.8/10(Great casting by Masami Nagasawa for her triple roles, Great storyline)
