Plot
Kageyama (Sho Sakurai) works as the butler for rich heiress Reiko Hosho (Keiko Kitagawa). Reiko happens to be a novice detective but lacks certain deductive skills needed by detectives.

i wonder why the ratings on this site don't always match the viewership ratings. at least i'm not someone who can sit through a drama only to watch idols i like give a weak shot at unrealistic characters of a lame plot. kitagawa is a doll, but i won't comment on her acting. i like sakurai because of his wit and variety skills, not because of his acting. the 2 people's image match well with the characters, but the detective and heiress storylines are just too old. if the producers aimed higher, the drama would at least be bearable. but the repetition of simple loopholes in the cases and various tasteless humor as filler drags down the somewhat interesting interaction between the characters. instead of having the butler knowing everything and the heiress being an airhead, i'd like to see that they're each more capable in different skills and work together to solve the mysteries. but what do i know? the ratings are as high as ever. go pretty model x arashi!
