Drama Digest

Tokito Shingo is a successful detective who gives up on his detective job because of the frustration and tension this job gives him. He teams up with a rookie detective, Shiina Asobu. They both work together for undercovering a high-profile investigation revolving around a drug case and soon find each other in various unexpected situations, where their resilience and grit is tested on various levels. They finally unveil the secrets and are surprised to know the secret.

The Feel-Good Part

The good part of this series is the uniqueness and the freshness this series brings with itself. The story written for this series is smooth and doesn’t have many plot holes. The background score and music is impressive, and it creates another depth and dimension to the overall story and the scene. The casting was excellent and impactful. The spin of a classic hero versus villain in a detective format is not seen a lot unless shown with poor accuracy. This show works wonders balancing both poles fairly.

The Disappointing Factor

This drama lacks cliches, and the male lead, both the positive and negative lead is unproblematic. The side characters, like the friends, are supportive and different from the other cringe dramas. The various ways both the detective adopt to fight against this villian involved in a drug case is applauded. They are determined and focused for their job and are curious to know the truth, which can get boring and mainstream for a lot of people.

In-Depth Analysis

This drama doesn’t have any love triangles, last-minute breakups or no misunderstandings. This differentiates this drama from all other ones. The chemistry between the side and the main characters is innocent. The male lead knows the past struggles and pains of the other characters, and it is nice that he cares about him after all. The supporting characters have complimented the main leads, and has improved the overall quality of the series. Both the male leads are impressive and competent for the characters they are playing.

Star Power

Both the male leads are very promising with good acting skills. The usual skills of becoming a successful detective working against such a big case makes him capable of being accurate and specific, which shows he has rehearsed and learned about this before shooting for the drama. The good part is the major plot twist they have brought as a special. This special accompanies the main series around the two detectives, Tokito Shingo and Shiina Asobu and the villian they are fighting with, gives their character a new depth and dimension. The situation of politics and greed for money is shown extensively.

Overall Opinion

A magical experience for suspense lovers! It is a worthwhile watch.
