This is the best Jdrama I've watched in a long time. The series is well acted, well scripted and thought provoking. The reason the series is not getting a 10 is because there were things brought up or mentioned in the show that were never addressed again that I needed answers. If you watch you'll understand what I mean.

What was really well done is the different perspectives we saw of the jurors and how the case was playing into their lives and the parallels between Risako and the mother on trial. This is a slow burn series but worth the watch. As frustrated as I was watching Risako not standing up for herself, the journey she took to get there was worth the wait. I kept screaming at the TV girl, please say something; please tell these people how you feel and what you think; please stop letting your husband make you feel worthless.

I loved that it felt like I was at the courthouse each day listening to the evidence. A woman is on trial for killing her infant daughter. Seems straight forward enough until you delve into the whys and hows. How society views mothers, and women and children and why it always seems to fall on the mother to do the heavy lifting for raising the child. Why men get to procreate and then have no responsibility in the raising of the child.
