    I’m tired of Maki honestly… but I did like this drama… Yamada Takayuki and Ayase Haruka were superb! Very intriguing.

    I love it. The previous one was a little different, more innocent, this one definitely shows the coldness/evil in her character. Maki’s eyes are always powerful x) and Kengo Koraaa *o* oh my… HOT. I can’t wait!!

    Ohmygod. Byakuyako was probably one of the most genius dramas ever made. It’s not of love, but of two extremely twisted individuals engulfed in a downwards spiral. Ayase and Takayuki did superbly in their roles, I was bawling my eyes out in the first few minutes of the first episode. Not sure if Maki has what it takes for the female lead role, but what the heck. Go for it.

    Maki doesn’t usually play the bad girl so this is interesting ;P The plot seems like it would involve lots of surprises and intense moments–it definitely has my attention!

    I should watch the drama while I wait xD
