If the story alone is enough to draw in someone as picky as me, then you add in the amazing cast, this show must be a hit (lol). Speaking of the cast, hearing Takei Emi be so unemotional was something I was not used to at all! It took me a few episodes to get used to, too. Listening to Sasaki Kuranosuke speaking in Osaka (i believe it was) dialect was one of the most amazing things I'm ever heard. Watching each person of this fantastic cast work as a team, even though they were sometimes at odds, was fascinating, to say the least! I also found a few wonderful new actors to follow!
I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I worried, I was curious, I learned, and I felt as if I was part of each case. The stories were an even 50/50 balance of typical stories for a police/medical examiner/mystery/crime drama and stories that I've never witnessed before. I think that may have been a strength and a weakness for this show; it could have been longer than 8 episodes, but it was completed wonderfully with a finale that I never saw coming.
I would like to see more of this story, if not more of an apathetic, unemotional Takei Emi and an eccentric, thick dialect speaking Sasaki Kuranosuke. This drama does seem a tad underrated to me, but maybe that's just because I haven't noticed it myself. I believe this show could have lasted longer than 8 episodes and would have loved to see more of this entire team of medical examiners and police working together!
Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
the lead is a quite type so she doesn't have to many lines, but her acting is pretty good.
the story will tell about her being a super stubborn person and no one can stop her ( i dont like it about her but what can i do ) and in the end she always right, so the other will not like her in the beginning.
and the mystery in this drama is a litlle boring and not too shocking ( i think ),
if you like mystery drama without something dark you will like it, and if i can finish this you than you will.

It's so fascinating! You have the strong overarching plot combined with the "sub-plots" of the episodes (that always makes it a great and engaging watch) and, by the time the story is nearing the end, the viewer is able to understand the key factors that ultimately reveal the truth. I did get thrown a couple times, but I'm not the best detective lol. Nevertheless, I learned a lot from this show and hope to find more like this in the future.
An anime that this reminds me of is "Beautiful Bones: Sakurako's Investigation". So amazing. I highly recommend you give it a shot! It's on Crunchyroll:)
