Arriving from America
a Japanese guy (Nakai Masahiro) with autism gets lost from his guardian,
overhears the news on TV of a man dying in a blast seen as a suicide, and
decides to go visit the murder scene. There he encounters police woman Ebina
Maiko (Kuriyama Chiaki) who is pretty famous as the ‘face of the police’ since
she is doing add for the police. Wanting to be recognized as a real police
woman she wants to solve the case believes it was a murder, and not a suicide
case. Her friend and superior Sawa Shunichi (Kitamura Kazuki) keeps telling her
not, since she might get fired, and he with her because he had recommended her
for that position.
The guy and Ebina meet
and somehow he keeps giving her hints of how to deal with the case, by telling
her hints, ending up solving cases that even the police were unable to figure
out. At the same time his guardian is desperately trying to find him since he
is more than just a man with autism…
I really found this
quite interesting even though the main story was a bit boring, each side story
was kind of fun. The main cast was hilarious and the humor was awesome, and not
to mention well-acted. Playing an autistic is not easy, and I was kind of blown
away by him at the beginning, because I remember him as a tough guy, but then I
remembered that there is no other actor able to pull that role off except for
Nakai. I don’t really like the characters, but that is a person-to-person kind
of feel, since I felt they were too ridiculous, kind of reminded me of MR.
BRAIN drama few years back. Then again, I think they tried to make it a bit
more light hearted than it usually is, and just add more light/heart to the
side stories.
To sum up: a good fun
drama, with quite the interesting story.
