This story revolves around three people who were highschool friends, Sakuraba, Reika, and Shinji. What I liked about the story was that there wasn't any unnecessary scenes and the way the story progressed was exactly how I wanted it to be. The story makes you feel confused in every turn but also were able to make things clearer for the bigger picture. I was constantly saying "Huh?" and "Ahhh" . While things confused me, my initial thought on how the story progressed were on point. You can really predict which is which but the constant turn makes you think otherwise.

For the acting, Reika's loneliness and mysterious aura were perfectly acted. Mihara Ui were able to portray Reika as cheerful and as lonely as Reika would be. Kura Yuki did great in portraying Sakuraba's inferiority complex and anxious demeanor. Both of them had great delivery of speech and their facial expressions especially whenever Reika's whole aura change. Her eyes and expressions were able to pull me. Shinji's actor made it easy for me to have bad feelings for Shuji but at some point his delivery can feel flat. But it was good overall

I liked the OST, "Liar Life", which was the outro song. When it comes to these types of doramas, their outros usually hits hard.

I might rewatch this again, just to have a different POV, wherein the twists weren't twists but a secret that Reika was holding.

Overall, this is a story that makes you confused but still I liked the story even though I rarely watch thriller dramas/movies. I liked the acting of FL and I might check her other projects.
