One of the most original (if not ouright THE most original) "mystery" EVER. And given how I'm almost 50 and I've been a fan of the mystery genre ever since I was a kid, you can rest assured I've been exposed to a pretty fair share of those, LOL! ^__^;
The title says it all, really, as it could be translated (with a lil' bit of freedom) as "Detective in Advance" ("早すぎる" / "Hayasugiru" literally means "premature", "(too) early/fast"): what we have here is a detective that doesn't actually *solve* crimes; he uses his gray cells and his super deductive skills to *prevent* crimes from happening! Such a great character (managing, on the one hand, to dearly homage Sherlock Holmes, and on the other hand, to hilariously mock him - oh, boy, those gowns he wears! ^_____^), so tremendously well scripted and at the same time so brilliantly portrayed by the ML, Takito Kenichi! But the very same thing can be said of all the main characters/cast: Mizuno Miki is also hilariously perfect as this kind of "Mary Poppins on steroids", just as Hirose Alice is as the FL! And the supporting cast did a great job too, with a particular mention for Katahira Agisa.
So, a really great script, with original mystery plots and absolutely hilarious comic relief moments, some great acting, some very nice music, quality directing/editing and photography...what else could we ask for?
Perfect 10 all the way, as far as I'm concerned! ^___-

Aboslute fun!

The time you invest in watching this drama is 100% worth it!

I came rather by hazard to this drama, hence I didn't know
anything about the actors, director and screenwriter.
Hence, I was not preconditioned by anything.

The acting of the two main leads is beyond any expectation.
They create a great atmosphere and bombastic fun and
convey the story a pleasant taste, When you'd expect that the
story line would start to go around, the writer put unexpected
ideas. In three words: better than expected!

Une enquête trop vite terminée, ou pas ...

Voilà une comédie qui va ravir les amateurs de méchants stupides et de détective gaffeur. Attention tout de même car nul enquête ici ou alors expédiée à la vitesse de la lumière, comme le suggère le titre. Mais la protection plus que rapprochée (vous comprendrez vite en regardant le 1er épisode) d'une jeune héritière. Le scénario assez convenu n'est pas une force de la série et les épisodes peuvent un peu trop se ressembler dans leur déroulement, mais comme toujours dans ce genre de drama les acteurs rattrapent le manque d'ambition des scénaristes et une mise en scène qui ne laisse que peu de doute quant aux réelles intentions des différents protagonistes. Hirose Alice (Top Knifu, radiation house, ...et sœur de Suzu) montre tout son talent humoristique par ses grimaces et son caractère garçon manqué. Elle en agacera certains, mais je trouve plutôt rafraichissant d'avoir une actrice japonaise qui ne met pas toujours en avant son côté kawaï ou fragile, pas vous ? Elle forme avec Takito Kenichi (Hanbun, Aoi, Kotaki Brothers and Shikuhakku, ...) un duo qui fonctionne à merveille. Ce personnage de détective qui d'ailleurs aurait mérité un traitement plus en profondeur, est lui aussi "légèrement" surjoué, mais il colle parfaitement aux situations. J'aurais juste aimé un peu moins le côté, "le détective gagne toujours" à la fin de chaque épisode, mais c'est le format comédie familiale qui veut ça. Bref, un drama qui détend, mais qui peut énerver. À essayer...
