This was a surprisingly interesting melodrama

I found this on Netflix after watching one of Nino’s other dramas (Black Pean) and I absolutely wanted to see more of him. Even though I don’t like melodramas, this one was surprisingly nice and fun to watch and I barely skipped anything (I usually do that for melodramas), especially for an old one like this.

First off, the plot twist. I didn’t not expect the cop to be the killer, and to have killed their parents over money. I srsly thought it was Togami until the very end, but I managed to make the same realisation as Koichi did once I heard the stones and saw the scratch marks. As Koichi said, it would’ve been better if they were killed over the receipt than some money and i completely felt that anger.

The cast choice was amazing, I was surprised at Nishikido Ryo and Toda Erika’s performance because it was so good. Together with Nino, I could see the sibling bond between the three characters and it really painted an amazing picture. Of course I focused on a lot of the Nino solo scenes, but he was srsly amazing. He could be funny and make jokes, he could say things with a stone serious face that actually felt like a psycho, and that final episode on the roof where he confronted the detective.

That last episode is the most memorable thing of the whole show, especially the rooftop confrontation. If I rewatched, I’ll rewatch just for that. 10/10 for everything, but I probably won’t rewatch the whole thing since this genre isn’t something I enjoy, but definitely worth the watch.
