The Feel Good Part
The series features different accidents and incidents. Yuri’s case solving techniques are really admirable and interesting to watch.
The Disappointing Factor
The show is great, besides a few minor flaws. But the audience expected the show to have better mystery scenes in it. The cases were well executed but the viewers were looking forward to see more of the climax part.
In-Depth Analysis
The show is quite good overall. Yuri mentions his life long journey throughout the show while unraveling the cases. In some of the scenes, the cases seemed dragged and very messed up. The cases were tightly constructed, but there were not many plots and the show lacked excitement and seemed rushed. But anyhow, Yuri’s trace tracking techniques and careful observances of crime scenes were a delight to watch. He learned those skills from a hunter whom he met in the Rocky Mountains in USA.
Star Power
The cast was pretty good and did their roles so well. Kikkawa Koji played the role of Yuri Rintaro, Shison Jun played the role of Mitsuki Shunsuke, Tanabe Seiichi played the role of Todoroki Keibu, Donguri played the role of Hada Satomi, Kimoto Takehiro played the role of Yamagishi Kappei, etc.
Overall Opinion
The show is well executed and directed. If you love mystery dramas, this show will surely entice you!
