Sukaretto says:
P.S. read at your own risk. will contain major spoilers.
    
     i watched this drama because of the cast. it's like Ikebukuro West Gate Park with Yamada Takayuki or Lunch no Joou without Kubozuka Yosuke. and you can see here how versatile Yosuke was (or is), a complete character transformation from his crazy character in IWGP.
    the drama's not that much interesting, i say, but you can't help but finish it and find out what will happen to them in the end. i kept on wishing that they'll return to the present time/past and live happily and realize their mistakes and help the world to correct it. but see, that didn't happen. i don't know if i'll be disappointed or impressed. disappointed because i really wanted a happy ending. impressed because who would have thought of THAT ending? atleast they hinted that they lived longer in the wasteland future.
      and Yamapi shouldn't really accept roles with screaming in his lines. he sounds like me when i had my vocal cords paralyzed hahaha.

My Ratings: i'll give this one 7.5/10 stars :)
