La historia comienza con una joven estudiante que se suicida lanzándose desde su balcón. Pronto se descubre que fue apuñalada y que el cuarto fue arreglado para que pareciera un suicidio. Unos pequeños detalles llevan al Detective Kanzo ([[Akashiya Sanma]]) a sospechar que Ryo ([[Kimura Takuya]]), un enigmático aprendiz de chef, sabe más acerca de esa muerte. Los dos se encuentran ocasionalmente, cada vez que eso pasa el Detective Kanzo queda con una extraña sensación. Cada pista que es revelada parece llevar a más preguntas sobre Ryo, su obsesiva novia, sus relaciones manipuladoras con varias mujeres, y un doloroso recuerdo del pasado de Ryo. Las cosas se complican más cuando se desarrolla una poderosa relación de amor/odio entre Ryo y la hermana menor de Kanzo, Yuko ([[Fukatsu Eri]]). ¿Cuál es exactamente su conexión? Como la evidencia empieza a pesar, Kanzo trata desesperadamente de salvar a su hermana de la influencia de Ryo. Él no es un santo, pero, ¿es el demonio que Kanzo cree que es? Y, ¿por qué? Las respuestas te sorprenderán, incluso si piensas que ya lo has adivinado todo. Synopsis by WikiDrama Edit Translation

Reseñas
I consider Eriko Kitagawa one of the best drama scriptwriters. She has the ability to pick up an ordinary event and make it into an unpredictable twist, all with a subtle calm pace which makes you restless. This plot is made of little hints: a word, a glance, a brief scene. There's no abundance of words, each line carries its meaning into the silence that follows.
And the actors get inside their roles brilliantly, creating around them an aura of mystery which makes you grope in the dark as to who did what and why.
The cinematography is scanty and sober, totally devoid of gloss. With the exception of the very effective close-up shots of the characters and the use of the light, it doesn't rely on beauty. Oh, the actors are beautiful all right. Kimura Takuya and Fukatsu Eri in particular are wonderfully intense, together as well as individually and play their part so well I was left speechless more than once.
The same scantiness applies to the music. Used with economy and without much variety, it manages to create the right expectations at exactly the right moment.
When all this is said and done, I am left with only one question: did I personally like this drama? The answer is: no. Did I fall in love with any of the characters? No. They intrigued me, fascinated me even, but I didn't like any of them, and felt somehow totally detached, despite the high-voltage chemistry between the leads.
I marathoned through the drama in 2 days, which is proof of its being a very well built thriller. Once started, you want to know. However, because I felt neither identification, nor true compassion or love for these people, it's as if I had read a very interesting and brilliantly written essay on human nature but was happy to see it end. The ending came to me as the only possible solution: a destination this journey was destined to land to.
Therefore, I recommend this drama to only a few people. Forget brightness, sunny love, suspend judgment and value this for its intrinsic quality and you will appreciate it. If you're not ready for a trip down dark lane, I suggest you stay well away from it.
I am certainly not going to repeat the experience.
I rated the re-watch value quite low because this is still a mystery drama so once you know the big revelation, the impact won't be quite the same as the first time but there are plenty of compelling scenes that makes up for it.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend it to any Kimura fans who haven't seen this yet, as well as anyone looking for a compelling story about love, betrayal and redemption.
