This drama is actually great at the main plot, which is work life balance is important. Even till now, a lot of older generation think you should work unpaid overtime everyday for at least an hour. That is what I was told by my boss when I finished my internship. Because I was the only one that finished my work everyday and went back on time. When I got my 1st job, my senior said working 8hrs per day should be enough to finish ur job. If u can't finish ur job within that period of time, then something wrong with your style of work. Paid leaves are your entitlement. You should not be ashamed of taking it. While working in Asia, Im glad that I worked in Western company where what our FL was doing is the norm. Japan works culture is really one of the worst, aside from China. Fukunaga is exactly the kind of person from his generation where u can find anywhere in this world who likes to push unreasonable demand to their workers.
While the main plot is great, the side plot of FL romance is not. Like nah. That so cliche and so predictable. They can just remove that romance plot because let be honest, it is tiring and boring. The side plot affected my rating of this drama greatly. 6.5/10
This drama can be described as disappointing. They start the first few eps very slow and suddenly time jump. Also if anything I can take from this drama, definitely U need to use ur connection well to help with ur job and land the job. 5/10
The drama itself is not bad. The loves between character is interesting. Also I dont mind the FL actually in love with someone as old as her grandpa because they both adults and nothing wrong with age gap love. But my only problem is with the pace. Somehow ... I keep thinking when the 50min gonna ends. It only has 4 eps but feels forever. 6/10
Im actually loving this more than the prequel. While the prequel is more of a mind game, they actually do more actual investigation this season. I kinda knew the killer from the start but the reasoning is still manage to impress me. Also some revelation about the residents are just funny. And the questions from previous season are answered here. And more funny is that I found this drama has more romance than an actual Romance Jdrama. LMAO. Also I never really like Yokohama Ryusei characters in the previous drama I watched him acted but he actually did well in this drama. Im impressed. 8/10
He is not underaged. Because he is already 20 years old.
LMAO. guys. He was underage in the flashback. They said he was 17 when he was going to .... u know. And I think that is what the original commenter is pointing out. Not the current timeline when he is 20
This is just simply a bad drama. Everything is ... not good. - the Mafia plot is not good - the acting is mid - Yoon has no charisma as Kamol. The guards are actually better actors than the main characters - the overall story is also ... yeah. I dunno what is happening. - Don't get me started with the BGM ... and that corny piano ... - And my friend kept falling asleep while watching this. It was a snoozefest most of the time 3/10
literally just watched 1st and last episodes and somewhat got the gist of entire series, > that ML has some past…
Actually this is half true I thought the same too when I watched 1st ep. But FL already almost onboard since 2nd Ep and the bickering was settled down much more earlier than most jdrama of this format. and ML pass wast reveal not even halfway And while the cases are not that mystery, not every case ends up on their side So while it is mostly generic, I was surprised they added few things to make it less generic and predictable.
There is actually nothing wrong with this drama except it can be great but falls short because of the generic tropes. - arrogant ML with mysterious background - checked - Rookie FL that is too kind which Japanese people wish to protect but annoying as hell - checked - A main support character with personality 180 degree of ML for check and balance - checked - an unnecessary love story between ML and FL with the most dries plot - checked - corrupt police force - checked - predictable ending - checked Was it a bad watch? nope. But was it a great drama? not really. 6.5/10
Maison de Police is your another typical detective/police drama involving 1 rookie getting help from more senior "police/detective". Jdrama have done most of the trope that now they are just recycle them with a little tweak to make the plot more interesting and not too samey. I appreciate the plot and they are funny. However, I found the case too simple except for the last boss. It is a solid drama but plotwise it is not something that has not been done. 6.5/10
This drama is not as bad as what the rating says. It is actually better than some of the 8++ rating Thai BL on MDL. Those who rates this low probably the one that doesnt like slow burn romance.
This is a nice story to watch. I think the historical value is fictional but well produced. While it is good to watch his grandpa and grandma story, I wish we have more or balance story of the grandchildren which I found lacking. 7.5/10
