The story begins 23 years in the past. Junichi, then a sixth-grade elementary school student, buried a handgun used in a certain incident beneath a cherry blossom tree on the school grounds together with three classmates. The four children shared this secret, each going on to live their own lives before eventually drifting apart. Years later, Junichi becomes a detective and is assigned to investigate a murder case. During the investigation, he reunites with Makiko, one of the friends who shared that childhood secret and also his first love, now standing before him as “detective and suspect.” It is soon revealed that the weapon used in the murder is the very handgun that the four of them buried long ago.

The Prince and The Lying Princess
What started as a very engaging series derailed itself with a fairytale ending. The good parts were the roles of Nara and Junichi. They actually captured my attention every moment they were on screen. The pacing was nice except for just a little too many flashbacks.What messed up the storyline:
Makiko manipulating everyone at any given time.
Naoto willingly going to jail to protect someone who doesn't and never will love him.
Junichi using the nurse as a place holder for the one he wanted. At the end, she says she loves him. He is even forced to admit that he loves Makiko. She deserved more respect than that.
Makiko wanted to sleep with her ex-husband then changes her mind when Junichi shows up.
Makiko lying to her ex-husband the entire time without telling him the entire truth. Here I wonder if all fingers pointed at him, would she have allowed him to go to jail for her wrong doing.
Junichi basically inserting himself in Keisuke's life since childhood.
While I understand Makiko's pain, she was rewarded for everything at everyone's expense.
The most unrealistic end to a series about reality.
The last 15 minutes left a sour taste.
So no on a rewatch for me.
a Japanese whodunit
Depending on your preferences and like Korean/C dramas that redirect the story then this probably is not your cup of tea. Nothing misleading here, the story just unfolded every layer of the characters like an onion. It’s not a happy ending in a sense of Cinderella as lives were broken, yet it focuses on the central four characters and like Stand By Me, they supported each other at their weakest. Our femme detective reminds me of Agatha Christie’s leads, but the Japanese in in uncanny way made her delightful to watch. She was the glue. of course I’m a big fan of our male lead as he is such a versatile Japanese actor, playing a stoic character strong yet flawed with pain. I’m glad it’s only 9 episodes so no fillers are needed. I truly enjoy the Japanese film industry as they dance to their own music. speaking of music, I love the song so much it’s downloaded on my iPhone.
