This review may contain spoilers
The drama started with interesting cases but as the story progressed the cases became less creative. The parts towards the ending did not really focus on main character, which I found a bit wasteful since we have gone through Shinjuro's perspective of Meiji Restoration and it would be nice if they showed us a final deep thought or reflection. What I found funny is that when Shinjuro said an English phrase, most of the times no one seems really to question. That being said, the characters are presented quite well: Yuki Shinjuro the one who always thinks and hide many mysteries, Toranosuke who progressed from noisy acquaintance to a trusted buddy of Shinjuro, Miss Kano who hates Shinjuro at first but later starts to like him. If you want a Japanese drama with historical context but not solely about the war - this might worth a try.
