Firstly, the storyline started off small scaled as shown in the teaser trailer. However the plot gradually branches off and connects the events of the past murders to various characters. It unravels the twisted and corrupt parts of the people within the system and in everyday life.

Following the MC, Eiji throughout the journey of uncovering his father's incident, the writer, Okada Michitaka did an excellent job adding subtle hints while also throwing off viewers attention by mainly focusing on Eiji's pov.

There is no filler as everything connects to the root of the 15 year incident. The storyline may seem cramped at times, but it all comes together. During emotional scenes, I believe the director and editor relied too heavily on repetitive flashbacks to carry the emotional factor. It would have been more impactful to rely on the micro expressions of the actors.

In terms of the casts performance, it was intriguing to see Yamada Ryosuke switch between the two opposite personalities of Eiji. I've only seen him in FMA live action, and his performance was well executed here. The supporting casts played their parts, but the culprit actor had a chilling impact.

The ost was so-so. It was great how the music department switched up to instrumental instead of repeating the theme song during certain happy moments.

If you are looking for a psychological mystery series full of mind boggling twists and J-idols this show may be for you.
