1. Its a mystery dorama that's more concerned with making sense than creating too many swerves.
2. Very even keel in terms of pacing. Every episode leaves me wanting the see what happens next and I never felt they stretched the story too far. I never felt the urge to fast forward and was hanging on every word.
3. Its a mystery story where the more they find out about their busjacker, the more the discover about themselves. People reveal their true nature when faced with difficulties or in this case, a boatload of free money.
4. Sugimura is a Mr Nice guy who is faced with difficult decisions and unlike most shows which are black and white, we get to see him struggle and think through his decisions which creates more empathy and made me think what I would have done in his place.
5. I like how the stories ties everything to a theme ala Kozokugari which in this case is the painting of Peter when he realises what he has done.
6. Not a happy tie, bow-tied ending.
7. The whole series is a slow build up to small but important character moments where the minimum is said but has a much stronger effect than most doramas where there would be a lot of preaching and explaining.
8. Makes me want to see the third dorama in this series.

My body is ready for this game. Someone uploaded a 6 minute long 360p trailer but that's been taken down.
Bloody wish I were in Tokyo right now for this.
Can't wait for the game next year!!!!!
