29-year-old Hinata Aizawa (Mao Inoue) works as a counselor at a high school. She works hard for the students who have worries about school and their family. Hinata Aizawa grew up with her mother who interfered excessively when she was younger.

One day, a male student visits Hinata Aizawa. He refuses to attend school and tells her he likes her. The next day, the male student is found dead. Hinata Aizawa tries to uncover the truth behind his death. (asiawiki-2017)



The wait for the complete subs was totally worth it. I loved this drama since ep01. It was a thrilling story, with a compelling mystery and an excellent  script. I couldn't tell what was going to happen next. It was like reading a Kanae Minato book: the setting is kinda dark, there are screwed-up stories with mothers, and other obscure subjects, like suicide, physical abuse, bullying, high school dating (joshi-kosei osanpo), etc.

I think the cast was amazing, especially the students. And among them, I love Yamaguchi Mayu (Masuda) and Daichi Kaneko (Hasebe). Although Endo Kenshin (Keigo) was also great. But overall, the students were excellent, and I can't wait to see them in other roles. My new adopted children <3

The setting is in Kamakura, which is a beautiful city. I am not sure about the ED song, "Reboot" since it didn't fit the drama, but it was a catchy song nonetheless. Being a school counselor must be so hard. I think Inoue Mao was a good choice for her role since she has a reliable face.

I can't think of why this would have a low rating, because I loved it. Anyone who likes to read mystery books with unexpected revelations would like this.

**My rating: 10/10**
