Lucky Seven (2012)

Favourite quote - Excuse me, that pink tie is the one I bought for your birthday, right? The children are lonely at home, go home early!
~ Asuka to Junpei

Reason for watching - I was looking for a funny drama and this was recommended in the MDL forums. Since it had both Jun and Eita, I knew I had to watch it.

Story - Seven detectives(with Jun being the rookie) who bicker and fight constantly, unite to solve the mysteries surrounding them.

Cast/Characters - The cast is good and the characters diverse. There's the preppy looking Junpei, sassy Asuka, the cool Shuntaro who is too curious for his own good, the hippie Nitta, mysterious president, the tech geek Kayano-chan and the stoic Tsukushi-san. The best thing for me about this drama is their dynamic relationships with each other. Each one is unique and they all come together in a wonderful way. They feel like a family.

My Favourite scenes - There are lot that were funny, but I loved the flashlight mug one and Junpei's contact names. Ieyasu! (Naturally, I thought of Samurai high school lol)

My favourite character - Shuntaro and Asuka. They have great chemistry and are . I so wanted them to end up together. I still have hopes for them in the special episode. :D

Music - I didn't really notice the music in this drama. Too caught up with all the stuff going on. But watched the theme song 'Wild at heart' by Arashi which was cute.

Rewatch value - Not sure if I'll rewatch(I seldom do), but it's fast-paced so may pick it up if in the mood for a funny detective drama.

Overall - Recommended for those who live workplace dramas, lots of bickering and bonding among the characters and detective stories which are light and easy to watch.

That's about it...I'm off to watch the special episode. :)
