As a passionate and
enthusiastic homicide detective, Ishikawa Ango (Oguri Shun) is a lucky guy who
once happened to catch the perpetrator in a case and has the idea that he will
get lucky often. That is until he in his own arrogance forgets that they are dealing
with criminals, and is shot in the head on duty. After miraculously surviving
the head wound, the bullet resides in his head, and is the only link to the man
shooting him. Not wanting to go under the knife again, Ishikawa decides to
leave the bullet, but doesn’t admit that the bullet gives him severe headaches.
Returning to duty he
is eager to start, but is shocked to see things: he is seeing the victims and
they want to help him solve their murder. At first Ishikawa thinks it is him
imagining things, but as he is able to talk to the victims and find important
clues, he starts using the ghosts as help for his investigations…
I actually saw this by
accident; since I hadn’t followed up on new Japanese dramas I was pleasantly surprised
to see Oguri Shun in a new drama. I also started this without any pre knowledge,
so I had no idea what it was about, which by the way worked in its favor, because
I totally liked the story.
The entire theme with
the talking to ghosts is one of my favorite, might be because I am a bit of ‘supernatural
person’, but it wasn’t until the very end I understood what the title of the
drama actually meant. For a 9 episode drama this was brilliant, I am not sure
it would be as great of it were longer, and Oguri is without a doubt the actor
for this character.
So all in all: worth
every minute.
