Mikaiketsu no Onna: Keishichou Bunsho Sousakan (2018)

SUB THE SP PLEASE!

This was another delightful Japanese Drama built around strong, interesting female characters. The two female leds were the closest thing the Drama had to an OTP, and their interactions and the ensuing mutual growth of respect and affection was the heart of the show.

The Drama was not without flaws, one of which were the slightly caricatured male bosses. It may be a Japanese humour style, but I've noticed this slightly OTT shouty male incompetence in other Dramas were the sympathetic protagonists are female. The writing and performance of the two female leads in this Drama were strong enough to stand on their own, without making the male boss slightly buffoonish. He could still have been shown as less competent and more interested in politicking without the shouty histrionics.

Overall, though, that was minor niggle. Haru delivered a great role as a rookie growing into a new style of detective work after an injury, and the deep bond that formed between her character and Suzuki Kyoka's made sure that by the end of the eighth and final episode the biggest and most annoying flaw was

THERE ARE NO SUBS FOR THE SP! Waaaaah!

Rather than boring and dull investigations, this series has its own way of revealing truth, the characters and the cases are enjoyable, so many refreshing scenes and so on..

There are some downfall points, but it doesn't take away the fun from the whole show, I liked the relationship between the characters even the ones who have bad relationships lol

Musice wise, I don't remember any of it and it didn't leave any impression on me so I think it's a minus point, the acting was very good, I have seen Haru in so many dramas and while I don't like her acting I didn't think it was annoying while watching the show.

Definitely a recommend.

..THE GOD OF CHARACTERS HAS COME DOWN..

..from the plot itself, I kinda weird to me, even the trailer..
.
..but my curiosity got me the reason to watch and it's just amazing - a mind blown one..
.
..yeah, I do love detective genre drama - but I am looking for some unique piece in terms of how the process of investigation happens..
.
..this drama is kinda same from Odagiri Joe's Jikou Keisatsu where the crime happened from a years ago is open for the continuation of the investigation - well the big difference here, well obviously, the suspect must be arrest and a serious one too - though you will find a little pinch of comedy between Yashiro and Narumi-senpai..
.
..I also a fan of Kyoka Suzuki that's why I watch it, adding Haru as one of the main cast (first drama I see her)..
.
..but again, in this kind of drama, actually on the end where the truth is expose little by little, there are just some surprise happen that I don't know if I just miss an information or it just happen on that way..
.
..well, again, the unique part of this drama is that the evidence use to get infos is thru the character itself - the letter written from those people involve on the case - at first I though it's kinda weird, but yeah it's weird because anything can be part of evidence, so everything will be possible to use to solve a crime..
.
..Yashiro, most of the time indeed, act like a superhero, a lone one, doing on herself without knowing of her colleague which is not a good character an investigator have that may cause problem - I hope there will be some progress on her character and to the people on the Crime Division who always get the credit on a case is closed..
.
..overall, I do love this drama, unique, good thing there's a sequel and I am ready to watch..
.
..(you may find to watch this drama that some of the subtitle is kinda late to appear, you may feel disappointed, but still, thanks to them for the effort - knowing an improvement follows)..
