Akina's best role; tragic, depressing, yet gripping
What happens when there is no forgiveness? This show follows the exploits of Kiyoka (Akina Nakamori) who blames a housewife for the death of her husband as well as subsequent miscarriage. However, the woman had done nothing wrong.The show does a great job of depressing the hell out of you, as supported by a strong cast, the strongest of which being lead Akina Nakamori, who despite being the villain, practically owns the the entire drama.
The viewer is somewhat represented through Shinobu, the flower salesman, who tries to find the good in her every step of the way. At least for me, I kept thinking (like him) that maybe, perhaps she would be able to find a way to move on.
All in all, if you can manage to procure the show it is worth a watch as long as you can stomach tragedy, and is an absolute must see for anyone who is a fan of either of the female leads.

Akina fans will like it more than the average viewer
Border is about a psych profiling specialist called in to investigate murders. Each episode is very formulaic, with an overrarching narrative on why they main character is the way she adding another layer of tension.If you are reading this, I think it is likely you found this drama because of the lead, Akina Nakamori. She does very well in this part, as well as providing the opening song. What elevates this drama for Nakamori fans will be the kinds of cases she takes on, and by the end of each episode, comes to an understanding with the offender. Her attempted suicide 10 years prior to this drama bring added weight as she engages with criminals or victims who either lost the will to live or the will to abide within societies walls.
In conclusion, I would say one would not regret watching this show, but it is very much a product of its time, and if you do not already like the lead, it may be a slog.
