Good mix of seriousness and comedy.
I'm a fan of Tamaki Hiroshi, so I started watching because of him but stayed till the end because of the story.I like that the cases shown are more realistic in a sense that it involves things that happen in real life like scammers, stalkers, bullies, domestic violence, vandalising, and it shows how the police struggles with numerous cases with the lack of manpower, figuring out which case to prioritise while facing unreasonable demands from upper management.
Tamaki Hiroshi's character is like a Japanese Captain America, someone righteous and have a high sense of justice who is willing to go out of his way to help others even if it means getting on the nerves of the seniors and management, and even sacrificing himself. He wants to change the police force from within as he sees hierarchy and bureaucracy gets in the way of solving crimes.
Overall, it is an enjoyable crime drama for me. Not too serious and not too comedic. Perfectly balanced.

Venture into the world of Shinto in Nara!
Tamaki Hiroshi plays a low self-esteem person who have bad luck in his life, not getting what he wants, both in love and work. After going through one problem after the other, he finds himself becoming a relief teacher at Nara where he ends up becoming a Kendo coach for the students alongside a fiesty teacher played by Haruka Ayase.Things began to take a turn when he was strolling at Nara Park and a deer started talking to him. From then on, he got pulled into the world of Shinto (the ancient and native religion of Japan before Buddhism), as he discovers something sinister is about to be unleashed which causes frequent earthquakes and possibly the eruption of Mount Fuji.
It's a lighthearted show about two misfits getting entangled in the greater scheme of things, going on a "treasure hunt" across Kansai (Nara, Osaka and Kyoto) to save Japan from calamity while there are others who would stand in their way. If you like history and legends, and want something different than the typical dramas, this one is for you.
