info from wiki



sounds like a good drama to watch but..who is Kato Ai? :doh:

Kato Ai is a very popular drama/movie actress, the most prominent would be the Umizaru drama/movie series.

She's been in a lot of dramas. I've only seen her in Haken no hinkaku, which she was great in :)

I watched the first episode. It was really fast-paced and kind of strange, but I'm interested to see where this goes. :]

I tried the first episode and was surprised to like it. It's not that appealing to me at first. Very interesting.

Spoiler — click to reveal

The set-ups really made me curious as to why they try to force they lay judge to vote for 'not guilty'.

I'm finally uptoday with this show. Its completely addictive. I like that it keeps you on your toes with all the twists and turns. I have no idea whether the 'witch' is guilty or not :P

I watched only the first Ep.

I'm asking those who have completed watching. Is it worth the watch ? Dark themes type ?
