Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi Episode 1

I have a feeling it will get better from here...

I picked this drama up randomly. One was because I was looking for a different change of pace, and I recognized Kimura Takuya. Second was I like dark and realistic dramas, and from the reviews I've read, it seems like a drama I'll probably find myself getting into.

So for the first episode? Not bad, although not much really happens. There's some romance, and mystery. But not much drama or anything that's really invigorating and pulls you in. So I give it an average rating. I have a feeling it'll get better, though, so I'm going to keep watching!

There's a mystery behind the bracelet being put back together correctly and the movies being placed back together correctly, and it ties to Ryo. I'm curious to where it'll lead!

Medium Start.

I started watching this drama because I am in the mood for dark mysterious JDramas, also there's Kimura Takuya.
I don't usually give a lot of intention to first episodes but in this drama's case, the first episode should've been more deep, I mean except the few scenes at the end, I didn't see anything special at all.
Ryo seems quite creepy though, he's not fully bad but there's something about the look in his eyes that seems quite strange and make me keep asking questions about him, very mysterious character so far. The fact that the books and the bracelet were put back the same way makes me wonder if he's the killer, a partner at the crime or maybe something I didn't expect?
On the other hand, Kanzo annoyed me so much at the beginning, his character seemed all over the place but as soon as he became acting as a rightful detective I started to get interested in his character.

Not so much to talk about in the first ep, I hope the next one rises the depth of the story.
