Don't you just love it when you randomly pick up a drama (either because of the story or in my case, for the talented actors and crew behind it) but don't have a lot of hopes but somehow it ends up as one of the most entertaining and unique experience. This was exactly the relationship between me and Jikou Keisatsu. This drama is the perfect dose of comedy and crime-mystery. It sucked me in right from the beginning and it only got better after each episode.
The story is exactly what is mentioned in the synopsis and each episode we get a new unsolved case, which is then solved by our protagonist Kiriyama and his colleague Mikazuki(who by the way has a crush on him). To be honest, the cases weren't really exceptional or unique. But what made this drama worth watching is it's characters and their natural comedy.
Japanese comedy can either be a bit or miss for me. But here it was a total hit and won my heart. I always love eccentric leads and characters and here I got a whole bunch of them. All their conversation, actions, habits are so absurd and nonsense that you can't help but laugh.
Kiriyama was definitely the star here. His unique hobby, his unconditional attitude towards things, the way he treated Mikazuki, and the best- his 'I won't tell anyone card' make him a really likeable male lead.
Moving to Mikazuki, it often happens that Infront of an eccentric ml, the fl is often toned down a bit. But not here. She is as extra as she can get. From holding Kiriyama's glasses to assisting all his weird investigations and even pining all her hopes on a marriage certificate, she is the charm of the show.
Even the side characters, including all the police officers and the people related to the cold cases, were all really diverse and fun.
For the cases, though I mentioned that they were not really special or exceptional, nonetheless they were really important for the drama. You can usually guess the suspect before the second half. But the issue here was not that who is the suspect, but rather what exactly made the suspect commit the crime and hide it. With each case you can see the difference in the attitudes of the criminals. Some are giult- ridden, some don't care while some have more important things to protect. But in the end it didn't matter because all cases are closed and Kiriyama won't tell anyone XDDD.
I took my time with this show because I wanted to remain around this bunch for a longer time. Believe me when I say that I had never been so happy before if a drama has 2 more seasons.
Overall it was just amazing, creative, hilarious and really fun so just go and watch it.
