The cast is phenomenal. I ♥ Dean Fujioka even more after this performance. This drama diverts from the source material but I still think that fans of the book or other adaptions will find it enjoyable as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this drama up until the last act of episode 9. I didn't like the last decisions Shinkai-san made regarding his enemies and his revenge plot. His end was also ambiguous and I would have preferred to know exactly what happened to him at least in an end note of what his future entailed. Other than that, I say it's worth a watch and I will probably rewatch this one day.
