Shin'ai naru boku e satsui wo komete

Even though the ultimate identity of the killer was predictable, all the twists and turns in between kept me guessing and second-guessing myself. That journey was a lot of fun while watching this drama.

Pros: the acting; plot; mystery, humour; character development; social commentary.

The two lead actors did very well in their roles. The supporting actors were very solid as well. Yamada playing two personalities was a thrill to watch. On second viewing, I noticed that the cinematography helped a lot.

Cons: some parts of the plot; the low-budget quality.

Some parts of the plot resembled a manga too closely, and it felt like those scenes should have been revised for a live action film. As well, movie scores are a very important element to storytelling, and unfortunately for this drama, some parts had no music in the background when really it needed it.

The story was not only suspenseful, but the relationships were meaningful. I hope to see more dramas by the two leads in the future.
