Too many crime-solving dramas in Japan, BUT!

There are honestly way, way, way too many detective/crime-solving dramas in Japan now. They are so cliche and there's really no point in watching. Perhaps they're trying to follow in the footsteps of American shows like CSI...But with CSI, at least each of the main characters have their own history and subplot! J-dramas are short and can't afford that, so usually Japanese detective shows suck.

J-detective drama = crimes + eccentric main character
Lather, rinse, repeat.

However, Kagi is making J-detective dramas look good. There's a theme, not just a unique main character. I took off points because Toda Erika isn't really doing anything for me so far, and I managed to figure out the case halfway through.

Regardless, a detective drama worth giving a chance to.

promising mystery drama

Catchy first episode, with a funny and clumsy Toda Erika (but I Hope her positive character, who is appreciable in this episode, won't become boring)It's the first time I'm watching a drama where Ohno plays a "serious" guy, and I like it very much. Seems to live in his own world, and I also love this kind of weird character. Maybe his world will be shaken up by this meeting with the young lady. So I am expecting some funny but also touching moments between the two young leads, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it (but not especially romance). Even if I like mystery dramas, I dare say that the mystery case is generally not what makes me watch them, but rather the interaction between the different characters. I think that will be the case here too. But I was more interested by this locked room mystery than expected. Hope it will be the same in the next episodes.At the end of this first episode, two questions are still in my mind : are there so many locked room case in real life? AND what is Enomoto-san listening to during the entire episode?

What a great start, Nao after the liar game

I love the mystery in this drama!!! I really like the whole thing about a locked room being able 2 solve a billion questions!This is Nao after the liar game!! OMG toda erika is so shy, never seen her act like that but she is gr8 at it. For some reason I want some/little romance, even though I am not expecting it. Loved the 1st ep i hope it gets better from here
