This is the story
renewed once again with a different cast and storyline.
Kindaichi Hajime
(Yamada Ryosuke) together with his friends Nanase Miyuki (Kawaguchi Haruna) and
Saki Ryuji (Arioka Daiki) travel to Hong King when Miyuki gets chosen as a
stand in for a model that refused in the last minute. Arriving in Hong Kong
they are excited to sightsee, but it is not long lived as Miyuki gets
kidnapped. While running after the kidnapper they end up in a ruin which has
been made into a park, and they meet Yang Lan (Kawaguchi Haruna) who looks
exatly alike Miyuki. They find out that she is the model that had refused, but
for some reason was worried about Miyuki since people where after her. Hajime
decides to take her to the model contest and make her pose as Miyuki so that
they might be able to find the kidnapper.
At the contest they
meet waiter Kim Yong Dong (Seung Ri), police officer Li Bai Long (Wu Chun),
talent searcher Takigawa Ryuta (Kirirtani Kenta) who found Miyuki, designer Ivy
Liu (Vivian), and Xin Li (Komatsu Takuya).
While dining a man at
their table dies after drinking champagne which was poured by Yong Dong, and he
immediately gets suspected for murder, but that’s when Hajime steps in…
Oh man, no matter
which year these are, the mysteries are all just as weird. And the way they are
made are just as messed up, and practically impossible if it were a real crime.
Or that is what I think, but I guess that is what makes it interesting for
viewer. Yamada is okay as Hajime, I sort of was not expecting him to be as good
as he is, but I think he did a good job making everyone believe he is Hajime. The
rest of the cast is great as well, though I really felt it was weird having the
Chinese cast in a Japanese drama, but also some of the acting was really bad.
It might have something to do with the script, but I was face palming myself
almost all of the time.
The story was good,
but had a lot of bad points which made me pretty bored most of the time.
All in all it is good
if you are a fan of the actors, but don’t expect anything grand…
☆☆☆½ / 3½ out of 5 stars
