Great acting by ML but flawed characters and overall performance

The story is great with twists and turns but there were so many characters whose intentions left me in question. Biggest one would be Junichi’s nurse girlfriend. Don’t understand how she can be his side and act as a placeholder until he decided to go back to Makiko. That’s so unrealistic… Ryoma’s acting really amazed me here because his performance was kinda outshone in his other Dr series.
Don’t like Nara’s acting at all as there were so many unnecessary quirks from hers. Keisuke was really a red flag and don’t understand how he is still comparing to Junichi in the end. I do think Makiko lying is kinda understandable plus for someone who got SA, I understand why she wants to go to her rapist on her own and not get the police involved. But I feel that her liking with Junichi felt too forced. Perhaps it’s her acting maybe? Naoto’s reaction to Makiko admission of guilt is too over too.

Overall, the story is good but performance as a whole is still somewhat lacking and intentions of characters not clear.
