I completely love the direction this drama went in. It's one of the best horror dramas I've seen in a while and the suspense is high.
The acting is so well done by everyone. It's so easy to love certain characters and so, so easy to hate others (iykyk). Yet there's so much nuance in (most of) the characters. I do find that Kano Sumire's character lacks the same depth the other important characters have. Even for the most evil characters, we see their backstory and an insight into how they grew up. And then there's just Sumire, letting other people have control over her by choice.
I really liked what one of the girl's in the family said in ep 5: "how come it's always women who are the victims in these stories? Sacrificed by the disguising men". And it was a recurring theme in both seasons - the women who always have to be the one to make the sacrifices.
I'm also totally on a Yagira Yuya kick and I can't wait to see his next few acting projects!!
