A murder happens in a residential area in Tokyo. Assistant Inspector Goda Yuichiro takes on the investigation. Soon an official of the Ministery of Justice gets murdered in a similar fashion pointing towards a serial killer. Suddenly, Goda receives a strange order from above: he's not to further investigate in this direction. He senses a huge mystery behind the case and starts chasing after the psychopath killer called Marks. Somehow a journalist's research about a corrupt construction magnate and another unsolved murder that happend in the mountains 13 years ago are also linked to the case.
The music is excellent in this , this drama works best if you suspend belief as there are lots of holes in the plot line. Once you start thinking along the lines of well why didn't the police do such and such 20 years ago or how did Mizusawa Hiroyuki know exactly where to search in Asano's house, then this drama falls to bits.And I wasn't overly impressed with Kamikawa Takaya as he looked like he was over acting.
Nice short dorama, dark and gloomy, about vengeance and its motives. I loved seeing both Konishi Manami and Kohinata Fumiyo. I liked the pace and rythm of the series but I wonder why Kamikawa Takaya only has one facial expression. I highly recommend this one.
Definitely one of the better vengeance dramas from this season! Pick this over Guilty, the quality and the acting is far superior but I didn't like Kamikawa Takaya in this.
Liked this drama a lot, a little 5 episode drama that has a better cast than some taigas!
