Seems like Hideaki Anno, the guy who made Evangelion, is involved in this.

ANDO-LLOYD. hehe~

Nice cast. Yuko as Kimutaku's sister. Shibasaki Kou as main.
And I've been loving all the dramas with Honda Tsubasa. Looks like she's on a wave.

Androids and time travel, this show is right up my alley.

I'm slowly making my way through this show and it's surprisingly entertaining.

There are some trite scenes I laughed at, but that is to be expected with doramas.

The chemistry between Kimutaku and Shibasaki is pretty good- I watched it for Yuko, even though I knew she was a side character, but their performances really drew me into the story.

[atsukoD]

The show already end at ep 10 and been completely subbed.

Yoko was getting involved more and more toward the end. Nice scifi and good action/fight.

[SomethingWild]

I liked the first two or three eps, but then it got really repetitive.

That old detective guy and Suppli always stole the show imo. 

In the end the show was so-so. I wouldn't recommend it to friends tbh
