A short web drama with many twists and turns
I honestly would'nt of known this web drama if Yutaro did'nt mention this drama name when I translating a interview with Yutaro and Inukai for Zettai BL (Where Yutaro and Inukai play siblings). I wanted to see Yutaro and Inukai act as friends.
But after watching all 16 episodes I can't stop thinking about it. I am moved to write a review on it.
Story
I should'nt give too much away about it. But it's about a group of friends, they all decide to follow a twitter account promising one million yen. From there secrets hidden from the group of friends are shown and the plot deepens and takes a turn from there. I'll say that my mouth dropped during the whole wedding scene.
Acting/cast
I admit that the main character Sotaro played by Okada was really flat lol. He sounded like a foreigner to me. His chemistry with the female heroine was fine. But I did'nt pay much attention to him.
The cast I was focusing on was Yutaro and Inukai. Yutaro's character Taiyou I could relate to (a lot) plus his interaction with Inukai was really cute. So when Yutaro's ture character came out I was'nt expecting it. I wish there was more of his character.
Inukai Atsuhiro though. Talk about a character you should keep your eyes on. Shuntaro (Or Shinto?) at 1st is pretty much in the background and you really don't notice him RIGHT UNTIL THE END. It was an amazing performance again from him and I was'nt expecting it from his character at all.
Music: Some tracks stood out but nothing that special
Negatives
The BIG negative is the ending, which is a shame because the rest of the episodes is a rollercoster ride only to be ruined by a bad ending. NOTHING gets relieved or resolved and it really hurts because the rest of the episodes were amazing.
Overall
This drama is really short, it would'nt take that long to binge watch all the episodes. I would recommend to watch just to see all the crazy plot twists and developments. You really are guessing until the very end. It also makes good commentary on social media/ society as a whole. Even though the ending is bad you can think about who was the real culprit.
Also Inukai Atsuhiro fans I would recommend this web series, while his role is supporter like. You get taken back by his character in the end.
