editSynopsis

Like the original series, "SPEC" will revolve around a pair of police detectives as part of a special division solving difficult cases (Mishou). Touma Saya is a woman with an IQ of 201 and an inability to "read the atmosphere" in social situations. Due to a previous case, her left arm is in a sling. Her partner Sebumi Takeru used to be the star performer of the Metropolitan Police. After some incident however, he was transferred to Mishou. Those two track down offenders with special abilities(SPEC) who managed to get away with their crimes.

    Awesome. One of the few unpredictable and not-cliched dramas of all time. It actually lived up to its genre, mystery and suspense. full of unpredictable twists and turns. it can leave you a bit confused at times, but its easy to catch up. Great character chemistry. Personality crashes are one of my personal favorites, and this had plenty of that. But for some reason, Sebumi didn't click with me. Maybe it's the character, maybe it's the actor....great acting overall. Really loved the bad guys. Their personalities will chill you, literally.
    Music nothing special, and not very good re watch value. Once you know the tricks, it won't be as suspenseful anymore, because..... simply because you know the story. The story depends a lot on unpredictability.
    So,

    I would certainly recommend watching this drama. It was an easy watch. The acting was good, the plot was interesting, and the script was humorous. It was amazing how they made Toma look so different in the flashbacks during different "phases" of her life.



    The relationship between Toma and Seibumi was very funny.



    THE WARNING: It has an "open ending", which I don't like. I will avoid dramas just because of that reason, however I did not know that this one had an open ending. I know some people don't mind, or even like open ends, but for the people like me who don't I would just like to warn anyone coming that it was a very good drama, but

  • The humor is similar and they are both concerning detectives solving strange mysteries in sometimes strange ways. Also, there are random references to Keizoku SPEC all throughout the Ataru drama (in the background).
    reportRecommended by MinBrin
  • Both excellent crime/detective dramas that offer a serious alternative to the usual (k)drama. SPEC is offbeat and has light fantasy elements added.

    will she ever get rid of that bandage in her hand?? :))
    • lunarlegend_03 28 days ago
      lol just keep on watching. :D Anyway, they're going to release the final chapter this coming fall. It depicts the secret behind Toma's left hand and how Sebumi joined SIT. Actually, the events before those two met in Keizoku Department.

      So since you're not in a halfway through the series.. just stop it for now, much better to wait for the upcoming SP and 2 movies or else.. you will be left with unanswered question.. it's okay though if you don't bother by it. :)

    I liked the good balance between humour and seriousness as well as the numerous twists. I'm still hesitating between 9 and 10.
    • lunarlegend_03 30 days ago
      Hesitating between 9 and 10, why?
    • SumiTheCat 29 days ago
      well... because I found it really good, so it's at least a 9. But I don't feel the mood to give it a 10. I don't really know why. Because of its kind of crazyness? Well, a 9.5 would be my choice, if it were possible.

      I'm not sure but from what I've read or heard, it was actually Toda Erika who wrote those calligraphy ritual. I mean, her actual hand did those in real life. :D

      Thank you so much for letting me know! Yes I've already watched the special and the 2012 movie and loved them both.

    Don?t be fooled by the genre or the synopsis. This drama is so much more than a mystery/procedural drama. :)

    Awesome. I thought it would be like any other detective and crime series.there are fantasy and superpowers loved it.
  • SuperShark Jul 26, 2012
    Great drama. What's up with all the AKB48 references?

    Talking about Acchan, someone named Watanabe Mayuto, chanting lyrics from their songs and Ninomae makes a joke about Heavy Rotation. ;p

    I watched this drama because of Toda Erika, and she was amazing! I love that she branches out and ACTS no matter to what degree or embarrassment to get into her character. Walking around with her arm in a sling even when the cameras weren't rolling, picking her nose when told to, she's really great and doesn't take things personally. It's great work ethic and she's become more professional since she first started in entertainment. This drama was the best mystery/detective I've ever watched as well :) I've never watched the first season, but I know it was just as successful for them to have created a second series of the same name. (which were both written from the same author as the book) Will definitely check out the first series when i have time~ this is a must watch for mystery and supernatural fans. If you're not afraid of a little - actually some - blood that is~

    This is the best J-drama i?ve ever seen (with UNFAIR) It was just awesome ? Toma and Sebumi are hilarious when they fight I just love the way he hits her every day

    Who did what? How to counter it? I couldnt know before she explains everything and this is totaly awesome when you can?t predict what will happen (exept for 1 or 2 episodes)

    The end: Almost perfect ( I mean the tooth? lol) everything made sense even tho it was a bit sad.

    I used to hate Toda Erika but she really did a great job in this drama
