Well, this is one of my favourite Japanese dramas - it has that little bit of everything that makes a drama fantastic - a good storyline, brilliant acting, those handsome boys to gawk at, and that tiny bit of romance doesn't go unnoticed.
I was hooked from the very start, as this drama has a clever little way of hiding important things, so you need to keep on watching to discover the true meaning behind things. There are little twists and turns throughout the plot, some surprising, some devastating.
The plot is so new and interesting, something not usually found in dramas - clones. But not just clones - clones that have to kill one another in order to survive. But it's not some sort of crazy killing spree, there's so much more behind things than just that, trust me.
You will definitely not regret watching this drama, I hope you enjoy it!
Oh, and another little thing I liked is the fact that the episodes are only around 20 minutes long, which was great for me, because they don't drag and are straight to the point, and I love being able to sit down and know I have time to watch 3 episodes instead of just the one.

However good it was, it was open. And it just made questions pop up.
It's as if I was reading a book. After every episode you just had to watch more, because you just have so many questions, and you're trying to understand what's going on. It was surprising. But it was as if someone tore the last few pages of a book, making the ending very cliffhangerish.
The reason I gave it a rewatch value of a 6 is because the suspense, the not knowing, was what made me watch it to the end. But, now that I know how the story went, and how it ended. I don't think I'll be watching it any time soon.
This story is however recommended for everyone, it'll definitely leave a good impression.
It'll be great if it had a sequel though, because with that ending they could definitely make more.

Story: The plot is very original and complex as it deals with themes such as human cloning and human rights. I think that the main question that is debated in this drama is if human clones have the same right to life as normal people. The beginning is pretty confusing as you're still trying to figure out the whole mystery behind the story, but every episode is very intriguing and it will make you keep watching. There is also some romance - even a love triangle, but it's not something too heavy. There was a second couple too which I didn't think it will work out in the beginning, but by the time it ended, I've started to really love them.And about the ending... The way I saw it, I think they just left it open on purpose; everything would have been wrapped up properly if it wasn't for that last scene. In general, I can accept an open ending when they want to leave to the viewer's imagination what the future will bring for the characters, but not when they just throw another twist at the end and leave us with even more questions.
Acting/Cast: There are a few well-known faces in this drama and I was pretty content with their acting, but I was a little bothered by the main lead's reactions every now and then as they seemed a bit exaggerated.
Music: The songs that apperead in the background were all by Hurts and they've mainly used 'Stay' and 'Better Than Love'. It was an unexpected choice of music, but I don't think it was a bad idea because they matched well with the storyline. Also, they kind of give a more dramatic feeling to each scene, especially when they were played at the end of the episode.
Rewatch value: The thing with mysteries is that after you watch them once, your excitement just won't be the same because you already know what will happen. But I won't mind watching this drama again some time in the future.
Overall: There are a lot of good points to this drama - from the mystery that builds up each episode, to the intriguing circle of murders and the very touching moments between the characters. There are also some lacking points, but overall it's pretty good. If you're in the mood for a mystery drama with some psychological elements, this is perfect for you!

The plot was convincing and kept me on the edge of the seat. The plot twist it was something I didn't even think of. It was maybe I finished the drama in two sitting.
Another thing that you may also love is that duration of episode is just 20-22 mins.
I'd highly recommend this drama if you are a J-Drama fan.
By the way, I liked the acting and I'm quite comfortable with it, but some people may find it bit unrealistic.
One thing that I love about Japanese content is that, unlike Korean Content, they deal with different subjects, and aspects of life.

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]For those who doesn't really into a Sci-Fi theme, this movie could be boring, but for me this is quite interesting. Honestly, I watched this dorama because of Yamaken, but in the end I stuck with the story (^_^:)
Episode 1-4 runs a little bit slow (and I’m kinda bored too), episode 5-9 played your emotions (I've cried when two of them died in a tragic way), episode 10-11 revealed the truth, but unfortunately it become anti-climax.
