Story - 10/10: It is super interesting, to say the least. I had a lot of fun watching this. This series taught me so much and I think it's so cool seeing the tricks behind all the games they play. A lot of games are very unexpected and this series was the starting point of me watching other psychology dramas like this. I do understand that many people dislike the main girl's personality and her naiveness. However, I got over it because I think the main part which is the games/gambling they had won me over and made me forget her naiveness.
Acting/Cast - 8/10: I believe that the cast do work pretty well together. Matsuda Shota played his part very well. He is the cold-hearted main guy lead and I think he is the main reason why I kept watching this. I've seen others say that the acting is terrible but keep in mind that this was shot in 2007 and it is pretty old. The production isn't the best quality and I'm sure that if this was produced in 2020, they would have much better acting skills.
Music - 6.5/10: I'm not sure if the music would suit everyone's taste. I don't particularly have an opinion on this... It is also quite dramatic in the climax scenes though.
Rewatch Value - 10/10: I've rewatched this series multiple times and I have to say, every time I watch this, I learn something new and it's interesting to see the tricks behind everything. I wish there were more series like this so I don't have to watch it every time I want to watch these kinds of dramas.
Overall, I totally recommend this to anyone who is able to look past the poor acting and bad quality of production. Keep in mind that it was done in 2007 and this was probably how the Japanese would've liked their production back then. It is a very interesting concept that more series should consider going into.
