Brilliant Murder Mystery

Yes, this is a murder mystery, but it's so much more than that. It's a story about four kids that experience an ordeal so powerful at the time, they each carry a burden of it for 23 years, which is present day of this story. A story of murder, regret, first love, deception, lies and so much more.
The adult cast is fantastic, making a great mix of chemistry with each other. Ryoma Takeuchi & Noriko Eguchi are definitely my two favorite, especially Noriko, who is the relentless detective with many mysteries surrounding herself. In fact, each character is hiding something about themselves, which eventually all comes out as you get deeper into the series.
Episode six would definitely be the pinnacle episode for many reasons, but as many questions are answered, many more mysteries are created.
This is the kind of drama you watch the story spider out into so many directions ... and as you get to the final episode, you think you have it all figured out. Guess what, you're not going to even come close as to what the final outcome is for the cast and the story. A truly great final episode leaves no question unanswered, and gives a great shocking conclusion to the original murder from 23 years in the past.
Just a great suspenseful drama, with a touch of everything to make it super entertaining!
