Jigoku Shoujo (2006)

All I have to say is that the series was really good, especially if you're looking for a drama that takes away all that cutesy love business and solely leaves you in suspense. The drama has the right element of horror that it doesn't keep you up at night, but it still scares the living daylights out of you...it is quite creepy. However, I felt as the series progressed, the drama became less creepier.

The script writing was great. It made me further interested and kept me interacted. The music was great as well. Like in horror films, the music plays at the right moments keeping the movie creepy, the same goes for this drama. The music cuts out at the right time giving way to dialog or, in some cases, screams.

I gave the rewatch value an 8, since this is a series that you can watch over again. You can watch the show at episode 4 without watching the previous three episodes and still feel up to date with everything because of the way its written.

For people who watched the anime, some may be disappointed because the actress for Enma Ai is older than she is supposed to be. However, Sayuri does such a good job portraying Ai that you don't even notice the age discrepancy. Everything fits neatly together. I loved the drama and am now currently watching the anime to see how they differ side by side.
