What an episode of warm fuzzies. Sure, we had a mad scientist yakuza who killed two people with mysteriously created fires. But in this episode we got to see Kurosaki’s strong bond with his mediocre acting friend. We also got to see Yurine break down some of the silent man’s walls. Every time one of his team members does something

It’s the penultimate episode (I believe!) and things are spiraling out of control fast. I’m sure there could be some people surprised with how things turned out…but I called them all. When Jin Woo’s mother said Da Mi was his biological mother I immediately thought that if I was hearing correctly, that means she cloned Da Mi. And…since mommy was

While episode one of course set the tone for the series with ST not only struggling against their own personal demons and phobias, but also the higher ups that want to dissolve them, it mainly focused on Akagi’s and Yurine’s evolving relationship.

We had one happy ending in this entire drama. WAE!!!??? I really wanted the mother to live, but everything was built

Not a bad start. In this episode I think I really miss the interactions between Aoyama and Yurine. Since Akagi has come out of seclusion for the most part, he’s taking over the relationship that Yurine and Aoyama had in the SP. It’s a little sad. Of course, Akagi’s and Aoyama’s personalities aren’t quite the same so it’s not the

This drama special aired at the end of 2013. The drama’s subject matter, at heart, is definitely a more risqué one. Actually, in a very limited amount of time it does explore some deep social mores. Unfortunately, since it is so short, they can’t delve as far into the issues as they could have.
