(yes, all 20000 of the protein-coding genes might be responsible for the big bad boss's disease)

Now I know how actual lawyers feel like when they watch legal doramas. Replace "lawyer" with appropriate profession (police, surgeon) and "legal" with detective and medical dramas.

Jitterdoomer Aug 06 2021 9:38 am Holy sh**, this is my first time seeing Suzu Hirose going into action while beating up bad guys some sort of a Tokusatsu character, especially her pose right before the fight.

Anon Jul 05 2021 5:40 pm Yet another very sad attempt to make a detective drama w/o having actual mysteries to solve. Add to it a poor Nodame's character wanna-be, weird theatrics, culprits and criminals less interesting than a piece of celery, spice it up with a more and more popular domestic version of Japanese Orientalism, and throw in a Greek word, a math equation or formula, forced kawaii and we end up with this thing that is hard to bear with for more than 1 episode. Do yourself a favor - avoid.

Grandmalee Jun 26 2021 11:29 am Can't say I like the story, or the series, with a convoluted plot. Sorry for Sho Sakurai to be in that unimpressive role and all the more so for the waste of talent in casting Ryo Katsuji and Aoi Nakamura as useless/comical detectives. Only Suzu Hiroshe shines.

ナツ Apr 21 2021 8:39 am ..Anna (Suzu)'s way of solving the case is kinda weird yet I do love her role how she's helping is buddy, love this kind of genre as always..

Soulsoul Feb 27 2021 3:31 am Kinda sad.. knowing that the upcoming dramas/movies from arashi members won't have arashi's songs as their ost..

Sawacchi Feb 23 2021 11:05 pm Suzu is slowly leaving her high school girl image. I'm so excited to see her in one frame with Sho.
