| 1. | my 2nd fav, Matushima Nanako drama (so far!) [Rating: 9/10]
I really like this drama. Although it might seem boring and too difficult for many audience at first, however, you would appreciate the details, storyline as the story goes.
I always like the scriptwriter (he also wrote the sleeping forest and oishi kankei), however, I think in the sleeping forgest, although the story is great, however, it seems that the actors just play a secondary role. Luckily not in here. There were heaps of scenes which allowed Nanako to display her great acting. I really like her role in this drama, tragically sad and beautiful, no wonder all the men love her to death. Nanako just shines in her role here, she make the audience sympathise with her even she is a likely suspect for nearly the entire drama.
I really like the scenes which Nanako was in the prison, the lines are hilarious and her acting was so great.
I also like love scenes of Takenouchi Yutaka and Nakako together, their encounters and lines said are so toching and romantic, too many to list here, go check it out yourself!!!!
The ending is a weaker part, it is a bit too dramatic (expecially about the "resurrection" of Takenouchi Yutaka)
by the way, Takenouchi Yutaka and Nakako is a great couple here. They look soo good together, wish they will have a chance to work together again.
Love this drama and it deserves 9 marks. |

| 2. | Good drama with an implausible ending [Rating: 8/10]
I recently watched Koori no Sekai. The script was quite wonderful and the actors are superb in their roles, especially Nanako. Being that I just saw her in GTO, it is quite a transition to see her acting like such an Ice queen, so cold and scary. However, her acting was one thing that really pulled me in amongst a good story with too much exaggeration.
The process through which the plot with developed was quite wonderful and well-done. However, the ending, what some others described as surprising, is rather predictable and way out of this world goofy. Who the true killer is was very unbelievable, how the love was placed together (not spoiling anything like some other "considerate" reviewers) was very Fairy Tale as well.
However, watch it anyway, it is worth it. |

1)fantastic script for a mystery drama-kept u on the edge right up to the end.2) outstanding acting by Nanako and Yutaka - u can feel the sadness and loneliness of nanako yet occasionally creepy;Yutaka-he's just completely awed and lovestruck by Toko. credits to Nakamura and "the villain"too 3) fantastic OST. i know a lot of people are upset/ridiculed by the ending BUT it's a credible ending- human's heart stopped suddenly due to hypothermia;eiki wasn't shot at the heart - after the temperature normalised and long enough CPR(at least 1/2 hr),the heart will start pumping again (believe me!i'm from the medical field - i just don't want people to feel 'cheated'by the ending |

| 4. | A great mystery drama [Rating: 8/10]
There aren't that many mystery or suspense dramas in Japan, so when a good one like this comes along, it deserves a good rating. Although I am a Yutaka fan, I didn't like this drama because of him, but rather he really fit the role. ( I think they wrote this script with him in mind). Nanako displayed her range by playing a rather cool and serious character. The drama is dark, but not boring, or slow. The plot develops nicely, no lags or anything, and it gets more and more interesting with each episdoe, (like it is supposed to) and ends well. For those who are tired of love soaps, this is recommended! |

| 5. | a different kind of love story [Rating: 9/10]
quite an involving drama. i watched the whole of it in 1 weekend. it is exciting to find story line that is quite different from the typical love stories. the plot is twisting and turning and it makes you think about what had really happened. nanako is as gorgeous as ever. however the ending doesn't quite match up to the rest of the story in terms of congruence with the plot. unexpectly disappointing from my personal opinion. cut scenes and flash backs are well utilised. the music is also good. |

| 6. | The Best [Rating: 10/10]
One of my favorites. The ending was full of suspense and surprises! This story will keep you up all night!! I spent almost 12 hours straight to find out who the killer is. What happened at the end was amazing. If you think you know who the killer is, you will be wrong. Takenouchi Yutaka and Matsushima Nanako looks great together but this is not just an eye-candy show. I hope they have the opportunity to work together soon.

| 8. | Icy.... [Rating: 9/10]
Had the same dark, chilling atmosphere as Sleeping Forest but the storyline, plot, acting and music was definitely notch above. Matsushima Nanako's acting was superb and the supporting cast did a spectacular job as well, keeping you guessing as to the identity of the murderer up until the end. My only complaint is an illogical event in the last episode and the pacing being a tad slow in the earlier episodes. |

Wow, I was so captivated by this drama that I finished it in a weekend....I just could not stop. The suspense was getting too much! Nanako and Yutaka - wow! What a couple!
The plot is so interesting, full of suspense and mystery. The cast acted very well and the OST was great!
Really worth watching. I have not watched such an interesting drama in a long time! |

| 10. | ULTRA COOL [Rating: 9/10]
I really would give a 9.25. Everything about the drama has a well thought out ultra cool presentation (the soundtrack, the characters and locales as far as the bar scenes and even vacation trips). I would strongly recommend it for anyone wanting to escape from the usual saccharine sweet dramas. |

| 11. | Very complex drama [Rating: 2/10]
Didn't really like this drama, only watched it becasue of takenouchi yutaka. This dorama is too dark and complicated, the story takes too many complicated twist and turns that it is so unbelieveable. They made the storyline too complex, which made the drama too boring too watch. |

I won't say much - just that it is great and refershing to get to see a dorama with a real story, a complex plot, and characters with a story.
The actors are great and reinforce the quality of this dorama that could have been a movie. |

A very good detective story that keeps you guessing. Not a romantic show though, can't feel the love between them at all. But the suspense is good, though not a show that I would watch a second time. |

Takenouchi Yutaka , Matsushima Nanako and Uchida Yuki provide great performances in a suspenced fill drama. However the ending spoilt it , a bit Deus Ex Machina for my liking. |

Very mysterious. The shroud covering the whole story is slowly removed to reveal the brains behind the operation. Nanako did a great job playing the ice-cool teacher. |
