This is
a Japanese version on the classic story of Sherlock Holmes.
After spending
time in war-stricken Syria, the empathetic and likeable doctor Tachibana Wato (Kanjiya
Shihori) returns home, only to witness the death of her mentor. This leads to
her meeting Sherlock (Takeuchi Yuko), a “consultant” to the police. Arrogant, unapologetic
and with bad social skills, Sherlock is a master in deduction, and runs her own
detective agency - but occasionally helps the police out in cases deemed ‘bizarre’
or ‘weird’.
At first
these two completely different people dislike each other, but due to her
apartment burning down, Tachibana moves into the same house as Sherlock. And
slowly the two begin to form a partnership…
Being a
fan of the original works, I had to watch this thing. Not only is the leads female, they
actually are FEMALE! Lol! I love how natural and perfect they were for their
characters, especially Wato (Watson). I know the main lead is Sherlock, but she
was kind of like the “typical Sherlock” you would see. I love how human Wato
was, but then again Watson is the one character I like more in the original
story as well… Anyways.. The drama is well acted, the screenplay well executed,
and storyline is also good. Though I felt the ending was a bit rushed, but that
might be because there is so much happening, but oh well.
To sum
up: a good drama and an interesting watch.
