This was very enjoyable and once you start it hard to not keep watching, the acting was good and the plot twist were shocking and not far fetched you wont see it coming, i still cant see the character of Mahu playing a part i must have missed something in translation with sub title.

Probably the best or close to it from Japan when it comes to a serous drama.

INFLUENCE (2021) was a very interesting Japanese mystery drama. Japanese drama's often have a very tasteful, classy and tender sense about them and this one is no exception. An author is contacted by a mysterious woman, in order to share her past story, in hopes of becoming a subject of the author's next novel. The mystery woman tells the story of three girls, one being herself, in their younger years, who were involved with each other at some point in time and ended up committing a string of exchange murders.

This drama was very well done and although slower paced for a mystery thriller title, it was very compelling and really brought you into the characters experiences in a realistic way. It was a very beautiful and moving story that keeps you on edge and ever guessing. Kudos for also being a non romance, femme-centric series, as well. There aren't too many of those out there. Definitely memorable and worth the watch.
