Synopsis

A woman goes to a house to meet her boyfriend with whom she had planned to skip the country, along with 50 million yen in cash. When she gets to the house, there is no boyfriend, no money and a trail of blood leading to a closet. Opening the closet causes this nude, blood covered body (Kimura) to come falling out. She gets the guy into a hospital to revive him in hopes he can tell her where the boyfriend and the money went, but the guy from the closet has lost his memory. She then employs him (probably to keep track of him in case he ever recovers his memory) as a courier.

Weirdly hooked

If you love Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi, you'll dig this one (there's Ryo in Takehiro).
A twisted tale and quite weird with dark comedy. I kind of hate the first part of the series because it drags. Also hated the bare breasted women (UGHH, YUK!).

The high rating is for takuya brilliant performance.Portraying totally different characters then smoothly merging it into one. Yukio is virtuous, innocent yet sexy while Takehiro is compulsive, nasty and wickedly mesmerizing. There's a part where takehiro reminds me of the vampire Lestat (int. with the vampire). The scene when he talks to his bestfriend, the light were reflected tru his eyes making it looked haunted like a cat on the verge of attacking. Those eyes...

slight dissapoinment
