The first episode was nearly perfect and hooked me right away. What made me really "wow" was the filming and details. It's a really beautiful drama. The mood differs a little from the manga/anime. Here there is more focus on the tragic and the mysterious mood than the humor that was at the start. But i feel it makes the drama more "realistic" if you could put it that way :P

The music is also perfect. The opening was great for this live action and went right to it's manga/anime roots.

The acting is quite good. I really enjoy the main characters after the first episode. I liked Anna right away, the male lead on the other hand had to grow on me at first.

Maybe it is just me, but Hasegawa Yumi is what drags the drama a little down. Maybe it is her acting or her character's personality. I don't know, but it won't stop me for continuing seeing this drama :)

If you like a mystery, horror-ish drama with a dose of Japanese charm you will love this!
