2025 must-watch

It’s been a while guys since I’ve watched a WOWOW drama and watching Sai made me realized just how much I miss the quality of their production. From the insanely gorgeous visuals to the hauntingly beautiful scoring the quality of this drama was just so damn good. 



I think psychological suspense dramas like this are hard to come by recently for me. Teruyuki Kagawa’s character of an elusive force of figure appearing and bringing a certain "disaster" on the lives of six different people was absolutely creepy. And of course we have Anne Nakamura. This could easily have been an extension of her detective role in Yakusuko. I think she suits this type of roles so well.

The idea of creating that link between disaster and crime was really interesting to delve into. And as the show tries to blur the lines between the two, viewers are forced to question the nature of disasters. Is it natural or man-made?

But I think what fascinated me the most with this drama is how it shows the different perception of the people with misfortune. It makes you think about the misfortunes that you may encounter in your daily life. It’s quite frankly scary to think about. 



The ending left me with mixed emotions.
