Storyline:

His first love was murdered.

In Jan 1984, a Primary 4 girl was abducted and murdered on her way home from school.

Moments before the incident happened, she took part in the "Half Seijin" (people are considered adults when they turn 20 and this girl was 10 at that time) ceremony held in the school. As a result of this incident, she could never read the letter she wrote to herself which was meant to be opened when she turned 20.

Gouda Ryouji (Eguchi Yosuke) was in love with this girl, Katsuragi Sachie and was traumatized by her death. Following this, his elder brother died in a separate accident thus Ryoji decided to be a doctor in order to fulfil his elder brother's amibition.

However, he came to realize that he must now live for his sake instead of others when Sachie's case reached the statute of limitation deadline.

And this is when Ryoji's life starts to change.

Cast:

Gouda Ryouji (Eguchi Yosuke)
Kuroki Shun (Inagaki Goro)
Sachi (Hirosue Ryoko)
Gouda Yui (Aibu Saki)
Shimano Takaya (Sakai Masato)
Tomioka Yasushi (Tanihara Shosuke)
Akimoto Ryou (Sasaki Kuranosuke)
Maruyama Keita (Kohinata Fumio)
Katsuragi Hitoshi (Oosugi Ren)
Katsuragi Kiyoko (Fubuki Jun)
Kuroki Shinzou (Kitaoji Kinya)

Reasons for watching:

1) On paper, the cast is simply star-studded. To me, I am particularly interested in watching Eguchi, Hirosue and Sakai. Given that this is the 50th anniversary drama for KTV, no wonder they are pulling no plugs for this drama.

2) I simply love suspense stories. This looks very interesting but I hope the ending will not disappoint.
