The Title sure attracts you at first, but its not just limited to that.
The story is weirdly superb and the chemistry of the main leads has an unexpected sweetness and vulnerability, which makes you root for them all the way.
This drama is very engaging and enticing, keeps you wanting to know more, every character has some vulnerability, good and bad qualities of their own. and a very engaging point of view..
Especially our Lead male main character is easily throwing us into a loop all the time, he is easily a villain, yet there is still something in him that you want to root for him, he is freely being carefree(looks like??), and rooting for his own happiness, till the very end, when he learns his lessons, even his sacrifice he takes in the same league.
The villain could easily have been a hero, and probably is. I guess its trying to say that every character could be so. There are are many interesting characters..
the cast did a cool job too.
The sweetest character is the lead girl, this heroine, is so innocent, sweet and adorable, that she really brings the sweetness and humanness in the hero, she brings the balance, although at first mysterious, and her mysterious almost creepy smile actually makes you doubtful towards exactly what her intentions are, or who she is, to be honest, it is actually her that you are always rooting for. The actress is so perky and her own kind, I just had to become her fan.

That said, if you find to find real solace in the ending you must watch Todome no parallel, the spin off. which has its own very interesting angle and plot.

I am a sucker for happy endings, ..although (not all) Jap doramas that I recently watched didn't give any that easily, but I was almost expecting for a happy ending in this one, which this easily could have without spoiling the rather perky beauty of this drama, it would have been beautiful, never-mind, you will still get some of it on finishing the spin off.
