In 2005 there was a stage adaption, in 2006 Ayase Haruka (25) and Yamada Takayuki (26) starred in the dorama adaption and last year South Korea turned it into a k-drama as well.Horikita will play Karasawa Yukiho, a woman who hides her wickedness behind her beautiful face. She tricks others into misfortune for her own advantage, like using her classmates and close friends to attack other people and to murder the lover of her own mother. Horikita used to have a rather innocent image up to now and almost only played roles that would go along with that. Recently she started to choose more mature and unusual roles and the producers of the movie are sure to have chosen the right actress for the role. "There is some great strength and courage hidden behind Horikita-san's pure and innocent image. That's exactly the image of Yukiho," he said.She also read the novel during her senior high school days and became a huge fan of Higashino. "The tricks behind Yukiho's schemes are impressive and very interesting to read," she said. About playing such a role for the first time she added: "It will be a lot of fun. I also think it might help me to discover new things about myself."

She is played by Horikita Maki, who has conveyed her enthusiasm for the shooting of it.Within the dorama, love and hate are swirling through the scenes, with Horikita responsible for a very refreshing part of this romance. From the very first day of the shooting, she wore colorful clothes with patterns. "It was great to have been at the venue from the very first day on.", Horikita said. "It's the role of a girl in love. Although I am not a girl in love myself, I would like to portray this skillfully. And it would be great to bring across that she is a very pure girl, who is very single-minded about her love. She is a very lively girl, therefore I would love to speak really quickly, but I thought I should test how well I can do without stuttering. I stumble over word often", Horikita repeated.In 2008, Horikita had been playing in the NHK Taiga dorama "Atsu Hime" and she said with a smile about her first historical dorama since then: "The wig feels kind of new and the clothes are also very cute. There are lots of girl-y colors and I'd be happy to wear a lot of those."
