This is my first Review so please bare with me and i apologize is this seems out of order.
Even though I have only watched 5 of the 8 episodes of Hard Nut, I feel that i should share my view of this Japanese Drama. And that is that it is a brilliant police drama that makes mathematics look fun and simple to apply to daily life. I can't wait for the final 3 episodes to be released so that i can see how the whole situation between the two lead roles turns out.

The main female role is portrayed by Hashimoto Ai, and even though this was not her first main role over all it was her first main casting in a drama, i feel that so far she has played her role well and really makes it her own. Her character kurumi Nanba is a little ditsy but very smart and that is the type of personality i personally like in a drama (the ditsy part) as it allows us to watch as the character progresses and develops into a new person.

The role played by Kora Kengo is the young police detective Tatsuhiko Handa who works together with this strange Tokyo college student who helps his solve crimes. His character seems to be sharp and uncaring on the out side but there are moments when you see under his outer skin and see just how caring he is. Its like he has his own awkwardness to work through just like Kurumi Nanba.

This drama is still airing and waiting has never been my strong point so i usually wait until a drama is completed before watching it, but for this drama i feel i can make an exception as i really enjoyed watching the first 5 episodes it feels like the wait will kill me.
however, i do dislike how Kurumi Nanba acts when she is by her self at first but she grows on you the more you watch her.
