I started watching this drama during the time when rumors about the two main leads dating were spreading widely, so this drama immediately became one of the series I was most looking forward to watching. Because of the attention surrounding Yamapi and Maki-chan at that time, I was curious to see their chemistry on screen and how their relationship would develop throughout the story.

The revenge theme, clever tricks, and moral questions about justice made the drama different from typical Japanese dramas.

Yamapi gave a memorable performance as Kurosaki. His quiet, serious, and lonely personality fit the character very well. He was able to show the pain and emotional burden behind Kurosaki's cold attitude. Maki-chan also gave a charming performance as Tsurara, bringing warmth and innocence that created a nice contrast with Kurosaki's darker world.

The chemistry between the two main leads was one of the biggest reasons I enjoyed the drama. Their relationship was not a typical romance where everything happens quickly. Instead, it developed slowly through small conversations, misunderstandings, and moments where they tried to understand each other. I actually wished the drama explored their feelings more because their dynamic was interesting and had a lot of potential.

This drama explores loneliness, trust, revenge, and whether someone who chooses the wrong path can still find redemption. Some parts of the story may feel repetitive because of the episodic fraud cases, but the characters and emotional moments kept me interested.
