Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series directly critiques Japan's 'trial by media' culture, particularly how female suspects face disproportionate public destruction before any legal process — reflecting real cases like the 2008 Nagano mother accused of killing her daughter.
Episode 7's uninterrupted 12-minute confrontation between Keisuke and Seiichiro was filmed in a single take after four failed attempts, with Kamenashi reportedly refusing to break character between takes.
