The first two episodes is boring.. bad editing.. But overall it's good dorama.. Many potential actors like yamada ryousuke, yokoyama yu, nakayama yuma and morimoto shintaro..

The special was just HORRIBLE. Bad acting, bad pace, bad writing, terrible story, so unbelievable, so badly protrayed, so IMPOSSIBLE! Special is a 1. It's a pitty since the idea is really good. I totally agree with user prestoli's review.

I started watching the dorama because I wanted to see a really BAD one, something like RH Plus XD But the episodes just surprised me. They are quite different from the special: pace is better, as well as acting, production and writing. I loved the music. Yamada Ryosuke's performance is simply great; he's a very talented guy (but still, no bruises after being hit). I didn't like Sayama's character though. The story slowly developed in an average way (much better than I expected) with good twists until an end that, again, was really badly portrayed. But hey, low budget I suppose.

So this dorama has very good things and very, very bad things. But believe me, it could have been worse. At least I kept entertained and enjoyed Ryosuke's performance. Sincerely, you may hate the special, but you should give ep.1 a try and then decide.

Btw, I was really worried for Rin all the time :D
