The story had a relaxing pace and that allowed it to be more explanatory about the characters and the plot lines. The cases that they added were actually entertaining and it was nice that they had a new one in each episode. However, that meant that the main story got borderline towards the end of the episodes. The theme that it dealt with was not an easy one to present, but they did a good job with it, presenting the viewpoint of the cheaters and the aftermath of their actions. The final decision of the main character was the voice of reason after a frustrating series of events. Shigeoka's character was pretty annoying too.
So, overall, a good drama, but if you don't like watching dramas about cheating and broken human relationships, it won't be your cup of it.

Surprisingly good: a hidden gem
The description of the drama gives the very wrong impression on it.Without the excellent details, the story would be nothing. Yet the detailed portraits
of each character are beautiful. I am not sure if the view on the work of the journalists isn't much
idealized, yet it does not matter, because the drama is full of symbols and more or less subtle incentives
to reflect on many aspects of our life, decisions and attitudes. Each episode has its own story, never boring,
never exaggerated, always credibly and every time adding another brick for the main line of the story.
I also liked the final: again, it is not exaggerated in any way and (as very rarely in the Japanese dramas) not
boring and unexpected - just like life actually is. All this is made possible not only by the carefully written story,
but also by excellent camera work and a magnificent performance of all the actors; of course, the main leads
gave it all - this is a must see for all fans, and all the other actors did (for me) unexpected good jobs. The music isn;t bad either!
I found this drama worth 300% of its view time and it goes directly on the smallest pile of the titles that I liked most.
