Definitely an Underated Drama

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Given the 7.7 rating, I had my expectations low for this; however, I was pleasantly surprised. It has really good plot twists, different kinds of characters, and good acting.

Characters
I have to say that I definitely enjoyed the slightly antihero-like ML. It was refreshing to see a character who wasn't the typical epitome of justice character.

Of course, there was also more justice focused characters such as Date and Sanemura, but even they have their own struggles over question of 'What is justice?' They do sufficiently contrast the ml's thoughts and ideas.

Female characters Akatsu and Minamoto
Both the female characters in this drama were enjoyable to watch. Neither of them were the weak character who needed help. Both of them were strong and very capable. Other dramas honestly need to learn from this ?

There was some problems with the characterization of a couple of minor characters, but those can be overlooked. For example, how do characters like Kagami and Endo manage to even exist in the workforce?

The acting of the cast members did justice to all the characters.

CONS
- The length of the drama - The length of drama made it hard to see much character development. I would have also liked to see the ML's past more fleshed out, so that we could understand him more. I also wish I could have seen more interactions between Sanerma, Date, Hyogo, and the rest of the d- squad.

Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this a try. Don't let the 7.7 rating bother you!
