Kurokouchi Episode 2

Fast-paced and exciting!

I am officially sold to this drama! I love mysteries, I like detective dramas but I adore this one since it’s not episodic, I adore silent characters, in this case it’s Sawatari and I adore manipulative, somewhat hateful male leads who you can’t expect what they’re going to do next. In short, this drama is the perfect combination of my preferences if you exclude the female lead.

This episode was really good, that Hori was so freaking creepy but I wonder why he was calling Kurokouchi “Aniki”? My guess is that the latter approached him and offered him his help or something like that.

Sawatari is such a secretive, manipulative and fascinating character! I like all the mysteries that go around him even if he’s the pictured as the bad guy. If he really was the one behind the 45 year-old case then he clearly has an accomplice, he can’t be Seiki’s father now can he? Also, who’s the woman in the fire from Kurokouchi’s memories? His woman? My guess is that she’s his mother since Japanese always have “mommy-problems” but she wasn’t killed by Sawatari, ne?

Beside Chief Dojima who committed suicide to protect the secret; I can’t trust anyone from the police department after what Shima and Goto did in the previous episode. All of them seem so freaking suspicious.

Now that Sawatari is out, I am expecting much more mysteries and fun to come. A drama that makes me ask questions is an amazing drama indeed. Thumbs up!
