Seems Simple..... Anything but

Do not take this show for granted! The synopsis, other reviews, comments, etc....... this show is something familiar, but only in the smallest sense (odd partners that grow on each other, computer smarts, people/street smarts, good fighter, introvert, extrovert, etc), and it is also something completely different!


The general idea "if i die, i want someone to delete this" or "if i die, i don't want someone to see this" is a good basis. Definitely something I haven't seen before, usually it's detectives or some "oddball" or "genius" trying to figure out what/who/why someone died or someone killed another. This show is much more than that! I've seen people become upset because of their family issues that lead to someone/something bigger, deeper, darker, more dangerous; and I've seen reluctance in finding the answers... this show seemed to have the latter. They wanted the answers but they didn't want to uproot, demand, or disturb the person (requester or friend/family member), they tried to do their work carefully, quietly, and under the radar so as to not create more dramatics.


But when the story calls for it, the dramatics are there! A couple of episodes I was so surprised to see them happen that I had to rewind and rewatch a couple of times; Yamada Takayuki and Suda Masaki are fantastic during the dramatic moments and during the emotional moments. It takes a lot of emotional, psychological, and physical strength to get through what a few of these episodes showed; but as you watch the show, you can watch them waver as the show goes on, through each story you can see them grow as a partnership and you can see the wheels turning with each "job" they get. Something bubbling up from the very depths of the existential questions of man.


The casting was superb! It was wonderful to see Aso Kumiko, Yamada Takayuki, and Suda Masaki work as a team. They seem like such an odd partnership, but as you watch them "melt together" within their work they are surprisingly a great partnership! Such a deep look in to the depths of humanity was spectacular, it seemed like you could see the wheels turning or the "clock of life" restarting. It seemed like the "battle of good and evil" was almost tangible within a couple of episodes. I have no idea why this show only has 8 episodes, I feel like it could have lasted a few episodes longer!


If you're looking for a great detective show that has a fantastic story before anything else, and then you add in great leading actors/actresses to top it off... Then you will absolutely fall in love with this story! This show will definitely make you think, make you wonder; curiosity killed the cat and all that. It'll make you wonder if the human connection is such a good or bad thing. Please, give this show a chance!

I originally stumbled upon this gem while it was still airing back in 2018, but in-between waiting for subtitles and watching other shows I forgot to ever go back to it.
I rediscovered it very recently and decided to give it a shot again, and found it to resonate with me so much more than it did when it originally aired. Every case that is handled is unique in its execution and often in its outcome as well, which keeps the viewer guessing. Presenting the people involved in each case with many layers, not just as good and bad, gives the show so much heart and definitely makes it stand out from other dramas. Each episode works even as a standalone story, but what brings the show to life is the emotion it contains.
Although not a tear-jerker, it still provides a touching story with a realistic balance of emotion and logic, through its main characters Yutaro and Kei. On the surface, Kei represents rational thinking and a logical mind, while Yutaro lets his empathy and kindness guide him, but what truly brings these characters to life is when they subvert these character tropes and act in ways that are not expected of them. Although Yutaro has his outburst, he never seems immature. His emotional intelligence and attention to people’s moods more often than not lead him to make reasonable choices. Whereas Kei, who appears cold or stern, is excellent at identifying what people truly feel and instances where he decides to act based on sympathy rather than rationality, tend to leave a deeper impression than the simple one-dimensional character writing that a lot of shows make use of. This complexity forms an interesting dynamic between our two leads and their friendship is all the more precious because of it. All of this, combined with the actors’ brilliant portrayals, make for characters that feel real and human.
Plot and characters aside, the technical aspects are also done phenomenally. The lighting and colors in every scene make for an aesthetically pleasing viewing experience, and the music enhances the sentimental yet comfortable mood the show presents. Overall, it felt like a small yet heartwarming package, and could definitely do with a continuation!
