I just want to start by saying this is an excellent dorama. ! We have an intriguing mystery blended in the drama with a great showcase of human emotions, mainly the human weakness. The theme of this season is as mentioned in the title about Saint-Peter being the symbol of repentance. Sugimura would say we all are Peter, as in we can mend our ways and start anew. As a sequel, this season is superior on many levels. The first season covers two separate mysteries while this one covers only one mystery extensively. The case affects many of the characters' lives more than the previous ones ever did.

Acting is another aspect that is superior season as well. They all not all exceptional actors, but each did their character justice at the most needed moments. This season is more dramatic that's for sure. We actually have a vast cast here and the show manages to give us just enough to look into most of the characters. Many characters subtly proceeds in some unexpected way.

The aspect that is constant and exceptionally brilliant is music. That piano soundtrack carries your emotions swiftly from one scene to the next.

I've got so much to say but I don't want to say more because it is the type of drama that is better to dive in like I did, without even reading any synopsis. The only thing I knew about it was that it is Namonaki Doku's second season. One thing I have to disclose is that this drama can be very slow paced. Each episode has many actions happening, but in a more laid-back way which many may it find to slow.

That is all for now so I just want to end it using my favourite quote from the whole drama.

- Everything that ends is a genesis for the next event. -
