The Story of Books & People
"I love old books. Not because of the story written inside, but because they are passed from hand to hand. That writes its own story too."
This is a short drama about a man who can't read books, and a woman with books in her blood. It's a very light-hearted story with a Sherlock Holmes vibe mixed in to keep it interesting.
While not fast paced, Biblia is sweet and to the point. Each episode centers around the main characters, with some new ones coming to stay or pass through, and deals with a new mystery. It was a fun watch as the characters solved the cases, mended relationships and people, and developed their own storylines. This is by no means an infinitely deep drama with a spellbinding romance, nor an ultimate plotline behind it, but nevertheless is a nice quick watch. The villain was a nice surprise in the last few episodes, and made them a little more personable by hitting closer to home. I would have liked to explore more of Shinokawa's background, but I was left with a nice feeling after finishing the drama, so it wasn't a big deal. There's a good, upbeat soundtrack to this, and the acting feels homey and warm.
All in all, I would recommend for book and mystery lovers, especially if you're looking for a light but fun drama to watch.
