This could be the smallest Erika post ever, though she had a fairly big part in episodes 3 and 4 she wasn't featured enough in the finale and most of what we saw of her was in the back seat of a police car. Had been planning on doing a lengthy recap but scuttled those plans, perhaps it's not a great excuse but I was just so exhausted when viewing this episode and had a hard time concentrating on what was going on.
Granted it wasn't subbed but there have been quite a few dramas that have been reviewed here which didn't have subs, was able to follow those well enough but not this one. Actually was able follow it closely enough up until this episode and then when Erika didn't appear as much in it as I would have liked lost a bit of interest plus as I mentioned was fairly tired when viewing it.
Still have the episode so going to watch it again though won't be doing another post for it, will probably understand so much more if I have a clear mind watching it. There was a comment for episode 4 that there were a few surprises in this episode and there were, mainly this episode revolved around the Judge Sakuma.
Sakuma was on the bench during a trial when a defendant had been framed by the panel of Judges led by the elder Hanayama. Sakuma's main reason for all his treachery was to get back at Hanayama though it appears in this last episode his revenge backfired on him as at the show's end he was the one on trial.
Yes, much more happened but not going to give away any of the spoilers, one reason is because I missed a few things but the main reason is that if you haven't seen it you should, though unsubbed it was a fairly good watch. Erika was naturally was why I watched it, she wasn't in the first two episodes and not too much in the finale but episodes 3 and 4 she had quite a bit of screen time. Didn't end up being the smallest post ever for her as I rambled much more than I planned but as far as screenshots go then it would be a record low as these are the only ones from this episode which is quite a shame considering how breathtaking Erika looks(as always).

Erika Toda: "Yokokuhan: The Pain" drama episode 4 screenshots
Once again not going to give a long review for this episode and the reasons will be the same as episode, the main one is that it's not subbed but a better reason is that Erika will be in the final show as there's just a total of five of them. Am learning quite a bit more of what's going on though too many things still leave me perplexed such as why this Judge is leading this group called Shinbunshi and why they are doing the things they are doing. And why are they going after a certain group of criminals, are they some link to the past for the Judge?
No other English site has been doing reviews on the drama so can't pick up any answers on the web, though it's a short drama but one with such an excellent cast would have thought it still may have been subbed. Erika plays a detective named Erika who was assigned to a special group to hunt down this renegade Judge, his underlings in every show will capture a criminal or someone who does not so good things in society.
After their capture he remains a Judge though he is disguised, the 'trial' is broadcast on the 'net and viewers can have the chance to vote guilty or innocent. Think in the first episode the person on 'trial' was found innocent by the public, for some reason he stays with the Judge and joins the group. By this episode he's had a change of heart as he can't take these trials any more and leaves the group plus the police have finally made some headway into the case and they have found that he's a member of this underground group.
This episode the criminal who was a stalker has he had a fetish for females who wore glasses was caught by the group before he could commit a crime and is found overwhelmingly guilty by the public. However the Judge had changed the trial's venue and though the police had found his original hideaway it was the wrong one as they watched in horror as the Judge killed this defendant. Right at the end of the show the Judge revealed his face finally, now it's up to Erika and the rest of the special detective group to find out what more he has planned.
Guess that's not a horrible review though I admit that too much has been missed, really hoping that by watching the final episode some of my questions will be explained. Think I should also watch the first show again as I just skimmed through it, the final show aired last night. Will be back as soon as I get the final show with what should be a more detailed review and hopefully that'll be done within the week. Have been saying for 280+ posts how dazzling Erika looks, she truly is setting a new level in that department these days as my mouth may never rise again. Also her next drama "The God of Risk" starts this week, that 's one I'm surely watching and be ready for a few posts on it here.

Erika Toda: "Yokokuhan: The Pain" drama episode 3 screenshots
Thanks to illuu-sama who offered to send me this episode but surprisingly found it at Asia-Torrents, sorry there was no need but thanks just the same.
Really not going to be much of a review, one reason is that it wasn't subbed but it was still somewhat easy to follow though there's no doubt I probably missed too much of the small talk. Another reason and a really good one too is that Erika will also appearing on the 4th episode, perhaps even the finale or least I'm hoping so. Erika played a special detective named 'Erika(!) Yoshino', the one bad thing about this episode was that she didn't appear until a little past the 18 minute mark of the show which lasts for 48 minutes.
Her detective character is one that was just assigned to a special unit trying to find out who the cruel beast that hands out death evil sentences to those who he thinks commits pain, his is only worse. That person is a judge and somehow no one can find out who he is, not even by his voice nor can they find out where he's transmitting his videos from. Kind of glad Erika will be in the next episode as there were quite a few questions left unanswered, it seems as though she has a lead on who the person is but we were left hanging on what steps she's going to take.
Just skimmed through the first episode and skipped the second one, may have helped watching them to find out a bit more of what's happening in the series. Next post on this drama should be a bit more informative or perhaps if she's going to be in the final show will wait until both have aired until I come back with a better recap. The 4th show aired tonight and it should be easy to find, that site mentioned above has all of the episodes and it almost seems as though it may be subbed but not holding my breath for that to happen. Lastly here's the main reason for watching it and all you viewers who are checking this post out and that's for the magnificent Erika who looked, uh, er, well there's really not one adjective that hasn't been used to describe her, wowowowowowowowowow!!!!
PS- If there's anything wrong with my deductions feel free to let me know what's wrong or if I missed any key things in the first two episodes.
