I think actors did a great job showing the dangers if someone irresponsibly treats someone or sadistically takes advantage of people. They are some positive uses of hypnosis in treating people with irrational fears, but the villains here truly are repugnant and dark. I still had to finish it

Asaka Seto was amazing here. Her skill out shining all other performances. There are a lot of twist and turns. As usual, the final epidsode was the show that tied everything together. His reminded me of the other drama named "Ice World". Don't miss it!

Hypnosis stars SMAP guy Inagaki Goro as Dr Saga, a former pyscho-therapist who returns to work to help his pyschologically damaged lover, Yuka Aoi (Seto Asaka). The plot is similar to the film version of the show, and other movies (Angel Dust). The mystery surrounding the "Purple Butterfly Murders" and Seto Asaka's role are very entertaining. I like the eventual connection between the head therapist and Yuka as well. On the other hand, Inagaki Goro just bugs the hell out of me after awhile. Overall, it's entertaining but can be frustrating to watch, particularly since the notion of killing someone with Hypnosis is so rediculous to begin with.

Interesting drama about hynoptism. Seto Asaka and Inagaki Goro star in the drama as the patient with memory gaps and her ex-shrink-turned lover-turned shrink again co-lead. Seto Asaka is a normal girl with the exception that she has days where she can't remember what she has done the previous days. Normally, no problem, except that her previous ex-boyfriends keep on dropping dead due to what is guessed to be hyponotic suggestions. Inagaki Goro plays the part of the shrink in love with Seto Asaka trying to free her from her problems and get to the bottom of the situation. Rather intesting drama, and not at scary. Better than the movie.

After watching "Hatachi no Kekkon", I started to get in to doramas. I started watching this one and from the very first episode or "case", I also fell in love with it. I became very obsessed with it and it was always my thing to watch on Saturday nights. I even started to cry when it said "last case". I just love everything about it, especially the music!

Actually I watched the movie...about it's not the purple butterfly but green monkey(midori no zaru), starring Kanno Miho(Oh gosh, she's so pretty, no wonder goro lioves her!). The plot is the same and all i can say is, don't watch this alone!!!or probably you're hypnotized too...

Basically a very good show and unique plot, though the story is a bit unconvincing and I do not quite like the ending.. very sad.

I find that goro is very handsome in this show! :D

A damn guilty pleasure, despite how predictable the dorama is, you don't care and apperciate how hard Inagaki Goro really tries to make this dorama work.

A constantly overlooked bizarre, chilling and scary dorama!
