The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Todome no Kiss is not one of those cute J dramas full of romance and manga like atmosphere. It is more of an intriguing mystery drama with an ending that might not sutisfy many. For me, the ending worked. It was fresh and original and I have never had an ending like this one before. So, I really liked it. Plus, it gave out hints for the second season of this drama. Secondly, the story was very interesting and entertaining. The time skiping was interesting as a theme, but the highlight of this drama was the main character. Eight was a character with many leyers and he had the audiance captured by his charms and tragic background. Also, the whole rich world thing, with its dramas and secrets, was very entertaining. So, great performances, nice built up and fascinating story are the key points of Todome no Kiss, the first drama from Kento's filmography that didn't follow the cute romance patern.
