It's going up against Fuji's 'Iryu 2' in the same time slot, so rating is certainly going to take a hit. The first episode is watchable; it seems to position itself as another 'Unfair'. There're quite a few plot holes already so I don't have confidence that the writer can pull off a good whodunit; however IMO the chemistry between the 2 female leads is great, so it's still worth taking a look.

ugh, is that a Walther PPK in her hand... yeesh... probably in .32, what's she going to shoot... squirrels? I hope she's better armed in the drama.

Yes, it is (don't know about the caliber). I'm not familiar w/ firearms other than this one (because of the Bond movies). Nakama used it in ep. 1; are you sure it's a .32 and not a .380? I can't tell from watching the drama...

LOL.

Yukie-chan is rather petite... Any higher caliber would knock her down, ne?

.32 or .380, i haven't see it yet and I dont know how much they show, but I woldn't be surprised if it was a .32. Both are fairly low recoil and easy for weak handed shooters to control. (no that wasn't a dig on women, my friend shoots a 45 just fine). I didnt particularly like racking the PPK, just didn't feel right.

They just started broadcasting this locally on KSCI-18.

No point in recording it, since the raws and subs are available at D-Addicts. :)
