Shinohara Ryoko and Eguchi Ryosuke were both very good. Unfortunately, the dorama itself was horribly slow and I couldn't help feeling that it was unnecessarily dragged (and filled with useless side stories, subplots and minor characters) only in order to stretch into twelve episodes what would've worked much better as a movie or anyway as a much shorter drama. It's a pity, because the last episode was imho very good - but having to endure eleven, mostly boring episodes to get there, was pretty tiring!
