It's basicly a dorama about 4 women whos job is to become the voice of dead people and tell us how they died. Each episode deals with a different kind of situation for them to solve and they do this in interesting ways. 3 of the women play the role of forensic medical experts and 1 of the women play the role of a police officer. The relatioship between medicine and law is interesting see and learn about from the characters, as is their personal relationship with eachother too. Quite serious and funny at times, and also quite touching. I learned a lot of things about forensic medicine and dead people that I never knew befor that was interesting. Although i'm not crazy about medical type doramas, this one is a good dorama to watch if you haven't watched it befor.

One of the best of the year

Whereas the title character is too sweet, Kyoka certainly steals the show. It gives a more realistic view into unnatural causes of death. Certainly more realistic than Kori no Sekai, I'd say.
