Science meets investigative drama with a dose of humour

LIKES:
The writing was very well done for this and same with all the acting.
Cinematography
Location settings
The science behind each case, was based on real data.
The 3some of doctor, government official and genius parasitologist, some how works. There’s humour, emotions without romance, excitement, etc. Some of Yamashita’s best humours moments is how he can deliver some of the phrases completely deadpan and their duo brings lightheartedness to the scientific aspect. The doctor and genius have a great chemistry and make each episode and case interesting.
Showing the parasites and viruses as cute animated cartoons, worked too.
The OST was good, but nothing outstanding.

DISLIKES:
The FX, especially involving blood looked extra fake.
Production could’ve been smoother, some editing of cut scenes made other moments not flow so well. Also directing had some problems too.
Sometimes the sound effects, especially when the genius had an epiphany, started to get annoying instead of keeping an amusing quirkiness to his character.

OVERALL:
I recommend watching this if you like science, investigative dramas layered with comedic relief. I would watch this again. The conclusion or final episode was satisfactory too.
