I just finished watching this about ten minutes ago and I have to say... wow. Why haven't I watched this drama before? It's amazing and I adored every minute of the suspense. It takes a lot to get me into a drama and its atmosphere, but Utsukushii Rinjin did it quite well. It's also rare for me to actually cry while watching a j-drama but I cried! I actually cried three times during this one and I couldn't stop watching it episode after episode. Nakama Yukie is eerie in this one, definitely a lot different from the silly teacher I'd seen in Gokusen. It shows a completely other side of her acting. A nice surprise to me was the music they used for this, which is TVXQ's Keep Your Head Down. It's one of my favorite Korean songs and I squealed in happiness whenever I heard it. It's actually a very good songs for the intense situations this drama is full of. A hidden gem, indeed, I definitely recommend this one if you like suspense and real drama!
