1. Sugoku Suki Yo !! [Rating: 9/10]
I like this dorama, it's indeed a great psychological dorama. Takahashi Katsunori is really suitable to play as a personality disorder person both as the kind Mizuno Takumi and the wild Katagawa Leo. Just by looking at his expression we could know which personality at that time.
Nakama Yuki is playing good too as the sensitive poor Aizawa Saki.
Every person in this dorama has a complicated personality, but i think each has the reason.
I'm very interested on watching this dorama, i wonder about the storyline, how could a deephurted Saki-chan could save either Takumi-san or Leo, she couldn't even deal with her life, and also which one is she really loves, is it Takumi-san or Leo, til the end i still couldn't surely tell. I think she indeed loves both of them, coz both Takumi-san and Leo is one person after all.
* SPOILER *
When Leo is in comma condition, i am very wonder which personality will he be when he'd wake up. Good scenario, he is losing his memory. And as the time goes by, he always has the memory of Saki-chan's existence.
And finally at the beach, he meets Saki-chan, and express his feelings. I'm very relieved when he said, "Saki-chan, aishiteru". It means that he is Takumi, darou? Coz it's Takumi-san who always called Aizawa Saki as "Saki-chan" while Leo just simply called her "Saki". But when at the end Okano kills him, it's Leo who said, "Saki...".
What a great dorama!!

2. a totally different story [Rating: 6/10]
A drama with a different kind of storyline.. a guy with a double personality.. the chemistry between the two leading cast is good.. from the middle onwards, secrets unfold.. alot of twist in it.. and youd expect from something good to come out from all the tragedies but.. still not a bad drama to watch.. wouldve given an 8 actually for the first few eps..

3. Too heavy and sad [Rating: 8/10]
Is a great drama, with a great plot.. but is too heavy, almost made me could not breath, esepecially when they reveal the reason why takahashi has spilt personality...

I think both actor and actress are really good at this show, and they look so compatible!

I'm just disappointed with the ending, so I finish to see it when they are in the beach. It just too bad for Yuki to lost her baby.

To me, its a great drama!!!Although some might not like it, saying its dark, weird and disgusting but i love it!!! I have never watched any drama that have this kind of storyline, so its fresh and new, i thought its going to be tragic-love-story but its not just love its all about, its more than that, like there's something lies beneath. a secret that unfold as the story proceed!! ^__^ pretty cool.. and yea Katsunori is such a hottie *drools*

It's not really my favorite ending, but I like the overall story especially the emotional revealing of the main characters. The casts are mostly perfect for their roles. A dark dorama indeed!!

mystery + confiused = best...that's what i can tell..... yukie + takahashi.. is very good couple... good job takahashi... very good acting... but this drama is good great overall....

Here's a different concept nicely acted out. Ending will make you quite angry or very sad.. Don't want to ruin the show, don't watch the last 5 minutes after the beach scene..

Very good.. and i like the song.. but the ending is a bit stupid that takahashi should die just like that.. and another sad ending, which i do not really like... :~

a very unique serial. Like others I also feel "that's it?" after finished watching this drama.Why can't they just give Saki & Ryo/Takumi one happy life together?

the actor acting as some1 with a split personality is brilliant! the whole script is very 'dark' and exciting. nice!

You really can't tell what is going to happen in this show. It is an emotional roller coaster if you like those types of shows. Basically all the characters have issues, pretty screwed up, which is what makes it interesting.
2. kantflixion
takahashi was convincing as someone with a split personality; the chemistry between him and nakama yukie was so strong, the drama never slows down, it's an emotional one, so watch out.
3. HimuraGirl
A very twisted psychological dorama with perfect casts, especially for the main roles.
