This series revolves around a group of peculiar detectives in a new division created to fight against an increase in atrocious crimes. Osawa Eriko is a beautiful career woman who has just returned from training in the U.S. and is appointed as the "boss" of this division. But despite her intelligence and capabilities, she can never understand a man's heart, so she remains unable to find a husband. In fact, her assignment in the U.S. was really a demotion after she ruined her career track over a man. So why was she chosen as the boss of the new division? Even though the detectives are talented, they all have some kind of issue or flaw, and they are considered to be the "problem children" of the police force. In the end, the division's true purpose is just to isolate these problematic detectives. --Tokyograph

  This drama was recommended to me by a "kindred spirit" and now I'm wondering why I haven't watched it any sooner.
  
  I was captivated on minute 1 and enjoyed the whole ride till the very last.
  
  
  
  The true strength of this show lies in the characterization. I love the speedy way in which each character is introduced, without unnecessary premises: the viewer is immediately catapulted into the birth of this new police division and the methods which are going to be used by the team to solve each case.
  
  The staff members come to life so swiftly and clearly, I was eager to see the next episode just in order to hear them interact with each other. They are hilarious, over the line like any true Japanese character and yet so believable and endearing.
  
  And then there is their BOSS. Yuki Amami is a wonder here. She's determined, beautiful, self-ironic, tremendously intelligent. The kind of woman I'd like to be at forty - honestly, if I could only look like her at 44 I'd be the happiest woman on earth.
  
  Her character is a riot and a model of what I call class.
  
  
  
  This is an episode drama, therefore it can be viewed either in one raw or taking time between one episode and the next. I did a marathon because each case left me wanting for more, but there isn't a main sub-plot which requires steadfastness.
  
  
  
  I liked the music too: it isn't an unforgettable original soundtrack, but it highlights the scenes with due pathos.
  
  
  
  If you're looking for a clever detective story, with some profiling/psychology, lovable, funny characters and intriguing crimes, watch this.

  The acting was VERY GOOD. I just really want to emphasize that. Excellent plot. I've seen it before on gooddrama.net while looking for more detective series to watch, but the series cover picture and the name, just didn't click to me. But then, I found out that Junpei Mizobata is one of the cast. And that did it! Haha.
  
  If you're looking for a detective tv drama, this is it people. Another thing that I actually like about it is it's funny, makes you laugh hard every now and then.
  
  Great character development.
  
  All said, I'm looking forward on watching the second season. It better be greater or equal to this!

  Both dramas involve psychology of crime, i.e. profiling and they have the same kind of clever humour which makes one laugh out loud in the middle of a serious case. Both have great leads with outstanding performances.

  • Both are crime solving, detective dramas. There's quite a bit of profiling in both and a lot of psychology stuff in them. Best of all, both are comedy so it's not boring.
