Answer - Keishichou Kenshou Sousakan (2012)

This detective drama is from a second investigation's viewpoint, so therefore instead of trying to solve a case from a fresh start it's interestingly revealing facts on a report that could have been misinterpreted or overlooked. I found this viewpoint refreshing after so many crime/detective dramas recently.

The stories unwrapped in each episode are well written and thought of, it will make you try and guess the culprit and even if you do it's still entertaining to see how they manage to find evidence and conclusion.

Some of the stories I thought were exceptionally good, only a couple I thought of as average. A lot of time is spent on looking into the suspect's backgrounds which brings a lot of surprises forward.

Obviously it feels unrealistic sometimes but that is a given for any "feel-good" dramas. Still there are many moments of excitement and unexpected outcomes as well as warm feelings in it.

So for these reasons I enjoyed this show very much and would recommend it to anyone who likes the main actress and/or crime/detective genre.

a truly interesting drama. it was very good, with inspiring stories. it has a completely new way of seeinginto things. this drama is about someone who will not stop until she finds the answer to a murder case that she finds strange from the beginning. this is why i decided to give it a try. besides i am somewhat a support of alysa as an actress and generally the acting in this drama from the guest stars and the regulars was simply great. i will not exclude the veteran actors that we keep seeing in dramas again and again. I like how she always found her hints in the reports and then she was going around gathering the details and investigating. This drama had quite some amusing moments as well so it is not just serious all the time.

This story is not at all what I was expecting! The show itself is filled with superb talents and amazing stories for each episode! The synopsis did not at all do it justice, in my opinion. Each story is thrilling and heartwrenching, they all kept me guessing until the end, as I could not guess beforehand which person the real suspect was!

The relationships between each character is fascinating to watch as they grow together as a team and as a whole division within the MPD. They all seemed to show a very real work-life situation(s) between different people within the workforce of police, prosecutors, and civilians. Each story was something extraordinary to watch as each case was verified down to the last tiny detail.

This wasn't a story of finding the answers/truth and being held back by the past, though at the beginning it may seem that way. As each episode goes it felt like watching a live retelling of detective novels! The ending was not at all what I expected, however, and I believe that is what made this series something special. Because each episode does not seem to build a finale tell-all episode, yet continues to create stories that "find answers" to the crime at hand, you begin to let your guard down and just enjoy the show. And because of that, I blew through this show within one day!

If I have to say one thing I disliked, it may be that there were some episodes that did not seem long enough (but i wouldn't call them rushed stories either) and there were a few actors/actresses within the series that I wish I could have seen much more! This show is filled with an amazing cast, including the guest cast for each episode.

Not one story is left with open ends or rushed, and that may be what makes this show as amazing as it is. However, because each episode is different in its own way, I do believe that gave this story its base to build up to a big finale. Each episode builds up each character first and secondly, it builds up the story as a whole, this show is a very extraordinary piece that I hope multiple people get a chance to watch!
