I never watched the anime nor did I read the manga, so I don't know if the story is faithful to the original one. But I know one thing: this drama was one of the most entertaining and thrilling japanese production I ever watched.

The story was really well-written: half way through the show, we already know who is the villain, but it doesn't matter, the writing of the characters keep us addicted. You want proofs? I watched the entire drama in a day, I didn't want to stop, even to eat properly. Some of you may be scared by the time travel since this genre is often considered repetitive but honestly, I watched it without getting bored once! More, if I had the misfortune to look at my phone, I was lost and couldn't understand anything. This drama is really interesting.

Let's talk a bit about this cast! I had seen a bit of Furukawa Yuki here and there and I knew what to expect: he greatly did his job but he's not the one that immensely impressed me. Please, the children are so talented. Some of their scene left me breathless, they have this energy that most actors lose when growing up. The moments in the past were really emotionaly intense, these young actors are so talented. (actually, if you like Stranger Things, you are going to love this: the children give similar vibes in both.)

Watching a Netflix japanese original production is most of the time a good pick. It means a good script, lots of money and a quality cast. More, this drama was eagerly expected because of the manga it's from. Sure thing, it was going to be good on a lots of levels from the beginning. And in the end, it was good on all and every levels.

I'll probably watch it again in a few months, because knowing the story doesn't waste the experience.

Just watch it already!
