This drama follows
the saying: “If you want to beat a monster, you have to become like it”.
Known as ‘Saint
Date’ Date Kazuyoshi (Sakai Masato) is a senior police officer who is disliked
by his fellow officers, not because of his character, but because of his
personality. His ‘never-angry’ attitude, gives off a unreliable feel, which is
different than most police officers. That is something Miyagi Asuka (Anne) can
agree on: joining the police as a newcomer and getting Saint Date as her mentor
is not something she wished for. Also the only person who seems to actually
like Date is Kudo Kenji (Nishikido Ryo) a forensic, who’s actually good at his
job, except his unprofessional ways over shine his work.
The story is about
the injustice that happens too very often and the question whether or not it’s
okay to take law in your own hands.
When I started the
drama I had a bad gut feeling, and you really need a strong gut for this one. Not
in the blood/gore/dissection kind, but the feeling helpless and confused leaves
you really without words. Even though the drama gets a twist and stuff, and
somehow doesn’t only focus on the stories of the victimized families, you sort
of end up thinking: Is this really okay? Like I was all confused in the end,
like I had no clue what to think of it, and when the twist came, instead of
feeling anger or sadness, I felt.. frustrated.
I don’t know how to explain, but the leads that died, died for nothing really,
even though they tried to do the right thing… Omg, sorry, don’t want to spoil
this for you! Heheh…
