i love the trailer! im excited for this drama because the story is intriguing and i also like to see Fukuda Saki as a villain. she's one of the best young actress even though she does not get that much attention unlike her other peers.

The manga is quite scary and crazy. Even though I don't really want to watch another bullying/ijime drama again, I want to watch this.

I'm looking forward to this drama since I love the manga.

The site was update and there's the Episode 1 description and trailer. For some reason, I can't watch the trailer probably because it's restricted to Japan or something? Did anybody watch it and is it the same as the YouTube promo?

Yeah, I think the acting is going to be very important in this drama. If you read the manga, you see some of the most twisted grins EVER. I sure hope those girls can pull it off.

Ok, I watched the trailer thing in the "Intro" page and it's the same thing from the youtube. There's some clips in "Special" section that's all about filming the drama and the a really long trailer from the scenes from the 1st episode.
