Do you recommend it? No

alright since i just finished this drama
a drama review hot off the press, per se


kitagawa keiko...she makes me think of kago ai from hello!project
and what's his name from a buncha dramas i've watched recently, i swear he's been in like the last 3 dramas i've seen, which is kinda scary xD


but here we go


we have a interesting opening scene of a woman saving a girl. her dying words are something to this effect. "i give you the power to see a possible future".

that girl turns out to be one hasegawa momoko, a naive girl with the inability to not help people aorund her, what a nice one. well, after a mistake from her, she is relocated to another division of her company, which turns out to be the funeral division. on her first case she sees her old grade school teacher and is stricken with wonder. as she is cleaning up and gathering his effects, she touches one of his items and hears a ringing in her ears. this is also repeated in later episodes and triggers her to go back in time with the chance that knowing how and where they died, she can go and save the person. and therein we get to the heart of the story. a girl is given the power to go back in time and save the lives of people and find out the truths behind their deaths, for often the deaths are not exactly as they are reported about. often the ulterior motives and underlying things are revealed with a second passthrough of events. there are also links between characters that are later discovered and we discover more and more about the characters as the story goes on.

all in all it's a pretty nice drama, and i saw cameos by several actors and acresses i recognized as i went through this drama.

musically i was surprised to hear sawajiri erika. my oh my has she gone far from her 1 litre of tears fame, catapaulting her from acting in a drama, to singing the OP of a drama. how nice.



all in all, it's an ok drama, i wouldn't highly recommend it, but i wouldn't bash it and say it's crappy. it could have been improved and been much better, but all things considered not a bad watch.
