Kimura's character Ryo is a very callous, selfish man who doesn't know love, and doesn't want to know about love and uses women to his liking. He is a very dark character, and he knows it and we know it, and the fact that he falls in love with the detective's sister (btw, Kanzo, the detective is played by Sanma and he is brilliant as the driven, yet burned out Kanzo) seems to be his one redeeming act ... until he finds out that this ... the only woman he ever loved, for whom he would do anything, is in fact his sister, the one woman he is not supposed to love. The scene where he finds out, when he goes back to his old home town, it is so painful to watch. Here he had a chance to mend his ways, to become a *good* person and it is taken away from him. We also see, that Ryo knows it only has to end one way. And that the only person having the right to end his existence is his sister. Because in his mind he did the utlimate wrong (forget that he is a womanizer and murderer) - in his mind the ultimate crime he did is falling for his sister, committing incest with her and thus damaging her (he doesn't care much about himself at this point anymore) and he is beyond redemption.
Cany ou tell I love the dorama to pieces? ;-)

There are lighter moments but overall it is a very dark dorama. Every single character is in pain at one point or the other.
As for the ending .. yes it is satisfying in the way that there is no other ending than that of Ryo in the series, he is beyond happiness and the right to live. If you have watched the music vids, they spoiler the ending quite a bit. IMHO I found it more satisfying then let's say the ending of Nemureru Mori (Sleeping Forest) where I found Naoki's death totally unneccessary.

Must watch it now.
Weird that he doesn't object to murder, but does to incest. Hmmm...

But when he falls in love with his sister (not knowing it of course) he suddenly finds everything he ever wanted but never thought possible. He even thinks he might find redemption through the power of love, it is a shock for him, that the only woman brave enough to fully love him not for his looks, but for himself, is his sister. He is not afraid for himself but what it will do to her, he knows he cannot saved. He even accepts the whole thing like poetic justice, but when you see Ryo, you know he is tormented for her sake and not for his own. He loves her deeply - whether from the fact that he unconsciously knew she was his sister or the mere fact that they really suit and are soul mates - and while he could hurt the other women so easily, so callously, he knows he will hurt and *kill* his sister in a different way.
That is what I love about Ryo - the ambiguity. He is both a cold killer and a little boy lost and you are always loathing or loving him.
