Kamen Dosokai (2019)

Everything from the ost to the starting scene to the casting was perfect. The direction and script compliments each other to bring a story that is relatable and screwed up. Just the same story so many people go through every day, whether its the workplace or school, or even at home, you cant get away from bullies. The feelings of the four main characters especially Junpei and Tomoki's characters all seem equally guilty and innocent throughout the drama so you really think you know something but then something so strange or convoluted happens you're left wondering again and thats what always maintains the suspense. And of course the whole thing reaches a climax that is both thought-provoking and entertaining like the rest of the drama. Just absolutely loved it.

Reunion went wrong.

It is actually a well-crafted story. There is a build up tense, an unreliable main character who got pressured a lot, stupid best buds concept and trust issues due to guilt-tripping.

Things started to jumble up after Yosuke attending a high school reunion where he met his trio best buds. They came with a plan to gang up their old teacher who punished them during high school. The plan went smoothly until the teacher was founded dead. The best buds began to suspect each other. Yosuke thought he knew his best friends well but then he realized there were more things waiting to be unfolded.

Yosuke was a messed-up character. He experienced too much guilt due to his past. And yes, his friends were definitely more problematic. As the story goes, you can't trust anyone. They were the antagonists. Everyone acted their parts well. If you are rooting for good acting by brilliant actors, this one worth a shot. Kiichi and the female flirtatious teacher will make your blood boils.

I probably had guessed where things had gone wrong but I enjoyed the mystery and suspense.
