Mikaiketsu no Onna (2018)

SUB THE SP PLEASE!

This was another delightful Japanese Drama built around strong, interesting female characters. The two female leds were the closest thing the Drama had to an OTP, and their interactions and the ensuing mutual growth of respect and affection was the heart of the show.

The Drama was not without flaws, one of which were the slightly caricatured male bosses. It may be a Japanese humour style, but I've noticed this slightly OTT shouty male incompetence in other Dramas were the sympathetic protagonists are female. The writing and performance of the two female leads in this Drama were strong enough to stand on their own, without making the male boss slightly buffoonish. He could still have been shown as less competent and more interested in politicking without the shouty histrionics.

Overall, though, that was minor niggle. Haru delivered a great role as a rookie growing into a new style of detective work after an injury, and the deep bond that formed between her character and Suzuki Kyoka's made sure that by the end of the eighth and final episode the biggest and most annoying flaw was

THERE ARE NO SUBS FOR THE SP! Waaaaah!

Rather than boring and dull investigations, this series has its own way of revealing truth, the characters and the cases are enjoyable, so many refreshing scenes and so on..

There are some downfall points, but it doesn't take away the fun from the whole show, I liked the relationship between the characters even the ones who have bad relationships lol

Musice wise, I don't remember any of it and it didn't leave any impression on me so I think it's a minus point, the acting was very good, I have seen Haru in so many dramas and while I don't like her acting I didn't think it was annoying while watching the show.

Definitely a recommend.
