I wonder if people really find this drama great or they just caught in Dean x Iwata bromance because I just finished this and it sure didn't live up the hype in the comments.

I have watched a lot of these Sherlock interpretation remake. From BBC version to Elementary to Miss Sherlock. I would say every one of them including this have their own flare. But just like Miss Sherlock, I found the cases really basic and predictable. It feels like Japan has exhausted their mystery plots to the point they cannot come with a good one anymore.

And the banter between them ... yeah, have seen it so many times. Like I know Watson supposed to be useless but Japanese version often lack the charming Martin Freeman or usefulness Lucy Liu version. This version feels like they are relying on Iwata visual to sell Wakamiya

And there is something missing in the last ep for me.
6.5/10

Kuwano is still Kuwano. Lol. Was it better than season 1? not really but this is not disappointing either. Still enjoy this a lot. They sure like to make open ending. maybe in another 13 years we gonna get another sequel... 8/10

Okay. This BL is trying but it is not giving at all. The internship plot. Falling in love with co-intern, co-worker, senior, boss etc is kinda overdone by now but they can be good if the storyline is good. But the storyline is as generic as any Thai BL could be. The most interesting plot is Salin's dream but it ended up being a generic side plot.

And the CPs?
Sun x Lin -> generic
Sam x Yo -> where is the plot?
Prim x Pim -> both cannot act and lesbian CP in Thai BL is always so unnatural
Chan x Juladis -> They were just tool for the main characters to use for blackmailing. After that they were discarded like garbage

4/10

Sometimes I dont understand MDL rating logic (based on some comments).

This drama - Has unique plot, Well executed & Great acting overall
but lack of intimacy and has annoying girl hogging screen time on latter half = average BL, not BL enough, should be labeled as bromance ended up being rate below 8.

while BL that have - Simple plot, meh acting, boring pace
but have cute leads, just being cute all the times, red flag attitude hiding behind CUTE will get a 10

tbh, i found people rating this 8 is normal. But rating a drama 10 just for being CUTE is ...

The drama actually started really good. But halfway through when Kaoru came into the picture, our lead dynamic somehow fade a little bit. Like how Ishida suddenly found his calling after going to Kaoru's exhibition. Like that is a turn of event. 7/10

OMG. finally somebody has same opinion as mine and gave same rating too. I said the same thing in my comment how Taishin is basically a stalker and people wont admit it just because he is cute and I was accused of spreading hate. I also hate the double standard how the uncle in the bus was called a creepy stalker by these people just because he is old, ugly and Taishin was scared of him. But it is okay for Taishin because he is cute, naive and harmless to Takara.

I only heard about bad thing regarding this drama. So I was already in my head that this will be either very mid or very stupid

The first 4 eps, yeah. The FL is ex-mania that have illusion of his ex as perfect bf. And when they finally met again in reality, she is convincing herself the reality and imaginary ML is 2 separate entity. The story keeps cycling in same circle. And then she found another ex-mania comrade, one after another. After 4 eps, I was ready to accept we gonna have them circling same cycle of event again and again.

To my surprised, halfway through, they actually move on from that cycle. So it becomes watchable for me. Like any other Jdrama during this era, the romance as dried as dried tuna. Still im just happy they going out from that cycle even though the plot of them trying to move on is ... rough to watch. It was decent in the end for me. 6/10

Just because something is bad doesn't mean you have to stop watching it.
Some people have hope the drama will get better that is why they continue watching.
Some people will continue watching because they have a habit to finish everything they started.
Some people like to review drama regardless it is bad or good
and so on.

This alongside Takara To Amagi are among the worst JBLs.

If only visual could sell, then this drama win. But the plot is a BIG MEH.
The other Takara, the leads cannot act to save the drama.
In this Takara, the lead characters characterization especially Taishin are MEH

People are calling Taishin overprotected naive character but naive? yes. Overprotected? Hell no. His family never shield him from anything. You want overprotected character? watch a non-BL Jdrama called Kahogo no Kahoko. That is what definition of overprotected.

Taishin is basically a stalker. He stalked Takara to the point he went to the same Uni. Joining the same club. THE ONLY REASON some people dont want to admit that because he is cute and naive.

Also the pace of this drama makes me sleepy. They are talking too slow. so 4/10

This drama started great. first 3 eps, I was so into it. then from ep4 till last ep, it was a spiral of messy unnecessary plot with draggy story telling. I was bored and just hoping it ends. The only good thing coming from this drama is the leads are cute. That is all. 4.5/10

Great plot but cringe delivery and subpar acting. 5.5/10

Average at best. There is nothing wrong with this drama except the plot is as simple as the previous seasons and they just rehashing same formula since season 1. 6.5/10

The joke material was there but the delivery is a bit dry 6/10

Good drama. The scammer theme is nothing new but they almost doing something good but opt for the generic ending like other drama. so 7/10

This drama will be enjoyable for JE simp. This is another disposable late night idol drama
It has the plot but writing is sloppy. It has the identity crisis of trying to be horror or comedy. both are mid in this drama and at the end it use the same formulaic Jdrama pattern where the ending will be 80% identical with 1 or 2 eps have different ending style. 5/10

Reading the synopsis, I thought this will be a risque drama but it is as mundane as the women in this drama. Like those women didn't really face any backlash after what they did with Juinichi. 4/10

This is a good family drama. It was engaging. But my only problem is the jobless son is being enable by people around him and nobody other than his sister calling him out for his smooth talking the problem away. It feels like toward the end, he didn't really change. and he is the MC. It just that the family just go with the flow without really settling the main issue. 7/10

I never watched the Korean version.

This drama is actually pretty average. Aside from MC ending, the plot is very predictable and generic. 5/10

This drama is huge disappointment. From the synopsis, I would thought this will be more on FL trying to follow her father footstep being a pilot.

But rather, we get to see a Female co-pilot trying to make believe what is "A Pilot" plot.
Also why bother trying to include the romance when the romance is as dried as wall's paint?

4/10

Great plot but poor acting by the FL when she is Hiromi. I keep on laughing at her acting. Yumi was better. Maybe it is the chracter or she can't emulate innocence. Also terrible pace. It kinda quick to the point everything is just on surface level. No depth. In the end, I didnt enjoy it as much as I thought I would be when I watched ep1. 4/10
