Does anyone know the name of the curly (wavy)-haired woman who's always doing things for the police at headquarters (on the computer and switchboard)? I think her character's name is Hasumi? She's Yukihira's friend and drinking buddy too. She's a bit of a scene-stealer :)
OK i finished this last night. Thoroughly enjoyable show, with some good performances by the lead actors. The plot was a bit up and down, but generally it kept me interested enough to be looking forward to the next installment, particularly near the end.
Ryoko Shinohara is excellent as tough-girl cop Natsumi Yukihira, showing Yukihira's vulnerable side on occasion. Ryoko-chan is not classically pretty like, say, Yukie Nakama, but is one sexy lady. Eita is his usual messy-haired self. He always seems to deliver, even if it is solid rather than spectacular performances. Mari Hamada is a scene-stealer as Hasumi Anna. And Mukaichi Mion is simply adorable as brave little Mio-chan :) I also enjoyed Kagawa Teruyuki as Yukihira's ex.

Yatta! Like you, I have had this saved on my HD for over 12 months. I haven't watched the movie either because I wanted to watch the special first.
When I first started watching this drama, I was under the impression that there was a different story (case) for each episode, and so I didnft really pay attention in the beginning. Man, was I surprised when the entire drama seemed to revolve around one massive case!
This show is dark and at times quite creepy, and I loved nearly every second of it. Ifm not going to say anything regarding Ryoko-san, because everyone already knows Ifm a huge fan of hers. Nor will I go on and on about how amazing Eita was. What I will say is that I was totally blown away by Hamada Mari and completely creeped out by Terajima Susumu (who, btw, is smoking even at this age).
The storyline/plot/mystery case was amazing. There were ever so many twists and unexpected surprises. There are some parts, even now after some reflection, that I think were a bit farfetched. Ifm not sure the three components actually make sense as ONE case the way the end came out. Spoiler — click to revealOMG! By the seventh or eighth episode I knew Ando was the murderer, but even until the very end was like gplease donft let it be him, please donft let it be himh. Ifm still disturbed by the outcome!
Cinematography was excellent, the acting was solid, and the mystery was gripping. What more do you want in a mystery show except a tub of popcorn with which to watch it?

Dude, I LUFFED her! She was so creepy! Poor Mio-chan.

I've seen quite a few dramas with her in them, but this is the first time she's actually stolen the scenes. I got chills from her performance. Good chills.

Btw, Ryoko-san has a banging body, man.
She sure does! I know the scene you mean.... wow :shocked:
Hamada Mari was one of the few good things about Erai Tokoro ni Totsuide Shimatta!
Ditto with what you wrote in the spoiler. I never would have figured it out myself but I read others' speculations online (not the actual spoiler) and that ruined it for me.
