kimm Nov 29 2017 6:42 am waw.. Homonji Sharaku : Sherlock Holmes Wato Soko : Watson Maria T. : Prof. Moriarty

healthy kalabasa Nov 01 2017 11:04 pm im sorry but i just cant get the ending.... pls help a stranger (^_^;)

Siman Mar 14 2017 5:18 am Why does Tao Tsuchiya look very bloated in this series? Do you think? Is it the makeup to make her cheeks seem puffy? Didn't recognize her!

Cukjunkies Jan 06 2017 11:05 pm Sharaku Homonji a.k.a Sherlock Holmes?

haru Dec 26 2016 9:35 pm I just realized that Sharaku is actually a Japanese pronunciation for Sherlock.

Also, I like the fact that Soko finally has character development since I'm tired of seeing her play dumb since she's supposed to be a detective.

Hannah Dec 22 2016 3:18 pm I swear this drama is so good during the end of the series, 8,9, and 10, I cried and it just got really emotional. It's also really funny how the names have a little Easter egg in them Sharaku homoji(Sherlock Holmes) and wato- san(Watson) tbh it's 11/10 and I hope that there's a second series of it

Reya Nov 24 2016 6:14 pm Unfortunately after the first two episodes, I couldn't quite get into this and dropped it. Personally I'm not too fond of Oda Yuji's portrayal, and I cannot stand the two cops / detectives who are on the cases. That 'no english' running joke got old really quickly. The silver lining is the butler, but even dean couldn't keep me watching. This was one of the dramas I was looking forward to, too. But that's just me.

ridwan Nov 15 2016 10:02 am shoko wato is not watson, she's more like lestrade, stupid but helpful. the real watson is dean fujioka's character. We got study in scarlet adaptation, in episode 2, I would like more of sherlock holmes adaptation, and I'm looking forward for the reichenbach falls story

james dean Oct 31 2016 5:53 am @WolverineFung ooh thanks for highlighting that.

and i guess by ep 2 we know 13 is Tomomi Morimoto judging from the hair and being a genius.

WolverineFung Oct 23 2016 8:30 am Did anyone find the names for the two main characters is like a pun of Sherlock Holmes?

Sharaku Homonji = Sherlock Holmes Soko Wato(Wato-san) = Watson

Amy Oct 17 2016 12:34 am Hoping this series drama number #1! I like Yuji Oda He is a good actor! Dean Fujioka is good. And Tao Tsuchiya is cute girl and pretty!

GANBATTE!!! Aloha from Hawaii.

Anu Oct 15 2016 5:22 pm Kyaaa Dean Fujioka

Thor Sep 05 2016 11:14 pm i really really love the cast, but i'm so fed up with detective genre. cmon japan you're better than this

Pong Sep 05 2016 3:53 am lol why is it when a guy and a girl cast as leads people automatically think it would be romance? this is not kdrama

Kaye Aug 26 2016 4:00 pm @Ai Sky I'm Tao fan too!! It's her first detective challenging role!! About Oda I think there will be no love line because of the type genre is not romance and the obvious huge age gap. Oda might be someone like her father figure in the drama?

Ai Sky Aug 26 2016 12:27 pm I've been looking forward to Tao since Omukae, but when I saw the news that the lead would be Oda Yuji, ahhhh... I got little down. he's too old for her, but I think, it maybe the drama that doesn't involve love. Bu the great thing is, when I checked it, I saw the name that my mood got hype... Dean Fujioka will be in it... wow... this man is everywhere. looking forward to it.
