In-Depth Analysis
The story is on the novel Keishichou Bunsho Sousakan by Kazushi Asami. With the twists and revelations, the build-up suspense was exciting and captivating. The drama has a female main character who is investigating a crime. Compared to many other Chinese or Thai investigation dramas, it is brief. In a murder mystery, the plot captures the Japanese characters. It may appear to be a typical crime drama, but believe me when I say that film has a unique tone.
Star Power
Yashiro Tomo and Narumi Risa are the primary characters, played by Haru and Suzuki Kyoka. In comparison to their prior work, both have done a skillful job. The support characters did an excellent job as well.
Overall Opinion
Overall, it is a decent crime investigation drama with a quick pace. With a reasonable production budget, the crime build-up worked out great. The actors were competent, but their past roles served them better, so do not make conclusions about them. At the very least, it is an intriguing, strange, and intellectual drama to see at work. However, whether you enjoy Japanese-style murder mysteries remains to be seen.
