Prepare yourself because this is another "screwed up" drama. I mean screwed up as in dark where something bad looms overhead. This one is about three abused children met in a mental hospital. 18 years later they meet again and all of a sudden murders start happening. Hmm... Consisder this is a tough subject for a script writer, this is a great job. The top notch cast's performace is just first rate! Don't miss it!

I wish more people knew about this one. I thought the first few episodes were the best... Nakatani Miki shows Yuki's isolation and pain very well, Watabe Atsuro did a fine job of portraying someone deteriorating into insanity, and Shiina Kippei's character was made thoroughly cold and hardhearted by the horrible things that happened in his childhood... The relationships between the characters could have developed in a different way; after such a melancholy beginning, i expected to be more moved by what would be the final tragedy at the end, which somehow didn't strike me as much as the things that led up to it. But, as a whole i thought the story and especially Nakatani's performace were excellent.
