After slowly watching this drama I wish I would've saw what people who gave this drama a 10 saw. The synopsis sounds a whole lot better than what this drama produced.

I'm not familiar with Japanese dramas or their actors but I've seen a few with Oguri Shun in it and I guess he's a typecast who always plays a police officer in his dramas. His stoic demeanor makes me wonder how on earth is he constantly able to find work?? He plays the same titular character in each of the dramas I've seen him in. I mainly dropped a few because of this.


Nishijima Hidetoshi who plays as Tamaru Saburou had the same expression in every episode. Made me wonder if he wasn't happy being cast the role he played, didn't feel like playing that role, or just wanted to get it over and done with. There's only talk about his back story and that was it.

Nagatsuka Kyozo who played as the director....I didn't get his role. It was like he was psychic or something. He knew how things would play out but let it play along anyway. It was like he was toying with his team and I didn't like his role at all.

Tanaka Tetsushi...He was the team's boss who at times trained his team but always ended up getting a beat down in the end. How are you going to be a team leader where you get your butt whipped in just about every episode?


Nomaguchi Toru. This guy could sniff out bomb scents and draw but could only diffuse one bomb and that was in the very first episode. He coldn't diffuse any other bombs after that.

Araki Yuko. She just looked and sounded so sad in every episode. Of course they made her out to be the weakest member of the team. Her character lacked energy.

If I had to describe how each episode was I couldn't. They lacked...I can't think of the correct word for it but the only thing I could come up with is depth. There was no mystery, no urgency, no nothing. The plots were very subpar. One second they were clueless as to who's behind what. The director knows but decides to let them guess. Then after they show him knowing what's going on then his team just magically happens to figure out who's behind what. This happened in every episode.

Don't get me started on chemistry. There is NONE! I love Asian police dramas because of the chemistry between the fellow actors portraying real life police officers. You won't find that here.

By the 7th episode I was ready to pull the plug. The 7th episode dragged!! It was a 45 or so minute episode and it took a little over 20 minutes to get to the point. There was a lot of silence, people staring at each other, and talking. The last episode was better but how did I know it was about a girl...It always is.

I know I'm one of the few that didn't think much of this drama but I just want to know, what did those who gave this drama a high rating see in this drama?!
