Sounds like another Cold Case variant, a la Jiko Keisatsu, but with no humor...

I'm anticipating this the most this season! :woot:

Tonight's premiere was really good. <hountoni. I like Eguchi's cool demeanor as detective Goda. The cast is stellar so I have high hopes for this one. It was good to see Tanihara Shosuke. This guy is seriously underrated in my opinion.

I like Eguchi's detective Goda too. The acting is very good all round, and the first episode was certainly intriguing, but I wish there was more in the script on characterisation, instead of leaving it almost totally up to the actors. I guess the scriptwriter can't give too much away so early...

comments please! :woot:

As far as I watched, the one thing I find myself irritated by is because of the music. It's a bit overly done :beatyou:

Kohinata Fumiyo's ability is kinda wasted. Sakai Masato returns to his smiling devil look, and Sasaki Kuranosuke is at his usual :applaud:

Complicated twists but not a gripping suspense. I don't know where this drama is headed.

Maybe off a cliff? :beaten: :sweat:

I must say I'm watching this because of the strong male cast.

Hirosue's eyes aged so much....................Anyway, she lost all her baby fats on her cheeks after the baby......much prettier.

Has anyone started subbing this drama yet?

If Rollins does the same as Celeb to Binbo Taro, the softsubs will be out at the same time the hardsub of ep 2 is out, and so on.

At first I thought the mystery was intriguing in the first episode. However, after I saw the lame explanation for the mysterious circumstances at the end of the first episode given at the beginning of the second episode, all I can say is, LAME! :beatyou:

Haha perhaps.

I have a feeling that it may turn out to be a :usuck: conclusion to the murder although they're trying to give the drama a "philosophical angle" too. Are you living your own life?

A common refrain in Ep 2 & 3 ................ Don't overdo it!

Humor literally ruins mystery, imo.

Yeah, it's heading nowhere. Maybe they should do something like Ghost Whisperer. They haven't had a horror drama for ages.
