Yips is a delightful blend of mystery and humorous storytelling based on the main characters personalities. This also has unexpected troll humor and even black comedy.
Whether you all are seasoned mystery fans like myself or just simply looking for an enjoyable drama, this series is worth your time!
Yips is set in the heart of Tokyo, with its bustling streets of shinjuku and shibuya, neon-lit alleys of roppongi and ginza, or hidden corners of asakusha,,The cinematography adds to the overall effect of the city’s atmosphere which I feel is a must for a mystery dramas.
Each episode presents a standalone mystery, ranging from seemingly mundane pointless incidents to elaborate murder schemes. The joy lies in watching Miko and Toru connect the dots, often with pure luck or simple fluke.. Miko and Toru’s interactions is the heart an soul of this drama. Their banter, witty exchanges, and contrasting personalities keep the viewers entertained. Miko’s out of the box thinking clashes with Toru’s methodical police work, resulting in both humor and may be even a bit of romance . Despite their setbacks, they use their 2 man game and teamwork to crack the cases, relying on their complementary skills and Eccentric personalities...
This drama is a reverse mystery that keeps viewers engaged, as they eagerly anticipate the unraveling of intricate schemes and hidden agendas rather than guess the whodunit. Yips flips the script. The real mystery lies in how our Miko Kuroba (played by Ryoko Shinohara) and Toru Morino piece together the clues and motives behind each crime. Director Hiroaki Matsuyama skillfully balances the dark comedy with tense investigations to create an engaging experience for the viewers.
