Sukaretto says:
p.s. contains major spoilers.
     i had high expectations with this drama. the navigation part is funny. eps 1-4 are good. the plot and twists are unpredictable (atleast for me). i also like ep5 although it's not as intense as the first 4 eps. Kato Ai is really good with the villain role but ah, she's a good girl here. ep6 is meh. i like the comedy part especially the way they hid Tsumabuki Satoshi's face the entire ep. XD but Masami, you're stuck with baring your legs and doing comedy. ep7 is my fave. Toda Erika's like wow! (but girl, you better eat something, you don't look pretty anymore.) it's fucking creepy, was she possessed or because of multiple personality disorder, her body was overtaken by the 2nd personality, in this case, her supposed to be son that died in miscarriage, and wasn't able to pull back the real self? ep8 is also meh. it's too shallow, in my opinion. ep9 is also meh but still made me laugh. ep10 is more of a love story for me. i was expecting that they were the one who really killed Hiromi. ep11 is also my fave. ah, nice. it's mind torture. the acting's good. awesome way to end the series.

My Ratings: i'll give this 8/10:)
