Interesting synopsis: +1
I've heard this is something crazy like Kazoku Game, where Kamiki Ryunosuke was also in. The promotional poster intrigued me so much that I just had to prioritize this one.

Story development: +1
While I couldn't care less about Platina 8, the story development happening in the lives of the 2 lead characters Tsubame Haruna and Shizukui Kei were really engaging.

Conclusion: +1
I love it that they added a hint of romance in the end! I love the conclusion that no one's actually that bad, it's a misunderstanding, makes you realize people should talk about their feeling more to avoid these troublesome misunderstandings.

Like! I admire Kamiki Ryunosuke and have watched a lot of his dramas/filmsHirose Suzu and Suga Kenta were discoveries in this drama. I'm familiar with almost half of the Platina 8 as well.

Portrayal of roles: +1
Kamiki Ryunosuke just upped his acting in a very excellent level on this one. This is not even a mystery drama but his lines were so long, it's very admirable that he was able to pull this off! As what we can expect from a child actor, right? So great. Hirose Suzu is very laudable as well with her performance, and how can she be so pretty? Hahaha. Platina 8 is a bunch of rich spoiled kids, but I guess they are quite effective because they are annoying. Lol. But I have to say, Kamiki Ryunosuke and Hirose Suzu really carried this drama.

Character development: +1
I really appreciate the character development between the two leads. About Platina 8, well it's good that they have their own shortcomings and problems as well, glad to know they have deepness within them too.
OST/Theme song/Insert song used: +1
I love the insert song "Just One Girl" by Fujiwara Sakura. The message of the song really suits the drama or the story of our heroine Tsubame Haruna. And, the song is in full English!

Every episode was a fun watch: +1
Yes, undeniably. A few boring scenes here and there, but that's forgivable.
Made me anticipate for the next episodes: +1
Yes, I was looking forward to knowing how Haruna and Kei's relationship would go. XD :)
It became a favorite: +1
Yes, Kamiki Ryunosuke and Hirose Suzu just did very well to make this probably one of the best dramas of Winter 2015. I think the two just carried this so well, you can forgive its shortcomings.
(minus .5)
I couldn't quite gauge why the Platina 8 have to be Platina 8. Can't it be 5 or 6? Lol. Because they are 8, one can think they are really just a bunch of rich spoiled kids. I don't think having eight of them is necessary.

Unexpected chemistry between Kamiki Ryunosuke and Hirose Suzu who have 4 years age gap with each other! I ship this pairing now! I hope they can work together again someday.
