A J-Drama in MDL with rating higher than 8? Now, I am tempted to watch....

First let's talk about the main characters: MatsuJun really fitted the role for Miyama - a grinning troll but actually thoughtful guy. Teruyuki Kagawa and Nana Eikura also played very well as if they were playing their own characters, which created a trinity of skilled lawyers with weird quirks supported by the "exploited" Akashi.

I loved the concept and the story in general - the cases are carefully crafted and the revealing clue often caught me off-guard. With the comedic touch, it helps you to enjoy this drama even if you are not into law/legal themed drama. Puns and the dad jokes were acceptable since I have basic understanding of Japanese, but pro-wrestling characters are unfamiliar to me so personally the whole concept of Bando's restaurant was a bit unnecessary (imagine the difficulty for those who lacks knowledge in both). Other gimmicks such as "Akashi ikimasu!" or the rain of "Eh?" are well executed, and never made me bored. But in the last 3 episodes it seemed that the story became less engaging and a bit stretchy - hence I deducted the score.
