And we finally make it to the finale of this solid drama, I had no clue how this series would end up, this ending was good but could have been better but not sure what should have been done differently, main thing that bothered me was that the killer's identity seemed to be too easy to figure out, no suspense in that mystery but there was some suspense in all the other event that happened.
It's now April 21st and Tamura from two years ago is supposed to die on this day sometime late in the afternoon, she asked her husband to come home from work early but he couldn't but a good friend of their's Ikuko said she would come and stay with her. Also in the present time Nakano thinks she is going to be killed that day too and what do you know, Ikuko also said she would come to her apartment to safeguard her. Was a little obvious but at this point you knew who the killer was and it wan't the mysterious man Tatsuno but the so called friend of both our heroines, Ikuko.
Back in the past Tamura thought she was safe but that wasn't so as Ikuko had suddenly attacked her with a knife, Tamura wasn't stabbed but managed to run to the balcony, this is how she was supposed to die by falling off it. She had kept Ikuko at bay but for the time being but there was no way she was going to deafeat her, one cannot change their destiny is what she had been thinking all that day and would she be right. Well no, she was wrong as for some strange reason her husband had come home and just in time too as he was able to subdue Ikuko and she was saved, the past can be changed but what about the future as Ikuko also has plans to kill Nakano.
And tried to kill her she did by the same method and with the same knife too that she had tried to kill Tamura with but just like what had happened in the past Tamura's husband showed up in the nick of time to save Nakano. However in saving her he ended up getting stabbed and when it looked like Ikuko was going to put the final touches on them in rushed our mysterious man Tatsuno who saved the day as he was an undercover detective who had been following Ikuko around for some time as he knew what her plan was.
But back in the past Tamura was saved and this ended up changing the whole story around in the last few minutes as now it's present day and Tamura and her husband are still happily married. And the stabbing of her husband seemed to have never happened as once Ikuko was arrested everyone's memory of each other and what happened has disappeared, what happened in the past remained the same but everything that had happened to Nakano seems to have never occurred.
That's how the drama ends, seems like it went in one big circle, none of the events and them knowing each other had happened in the beginning and after 6 episodes that remained the same, maybe I missed it but not sure what ever happened to Ikuko. All that happened in 28 minutes, lot packed into one show and probably how I described it may sound a bit confusing but took many more screenshots than usual to help you understand a bit better the ending, I may watch this episode once again to see what was missed. Final rating for this series would be an 8.5/10, recommend it highly, no action and only a bit of suspense but for the most part was just so interesting from start to finish.
