Don't feed the troll. She's been anticipating the negative response.

That person is crazy. She/he has personal issue with Islam (you can look at other drama too) and trying to provoke the potential impatient users. Later when she/he get the negative response, you know the usual victim card.

I'm suggesting anyone who read this to not feed the troll and please ignore the thread as much as possible. Can also report if you want to.

That person is a troll. I already reported the hateful comments. Please do the same. Scary there were actually people who click "like" on that.

To be honest this wasn't great, but it was not really bad either. The first episode started off strong but few episodes after that felt a bit uncertain. Things eventually got better starting at Ep5, so you just have to be patient.

The only setback was the writer trying to associate everything with baseball game...LoL. I'm not baseball maniac so nothing really made sense to me and at the same time it felt like a self conceited writing....LoL

Other than that this was an okay-ish drama if you want to fill your spare time.

Thanks for your time, for tidying up the sentences, for making additional on screen translation, and most importantly for sharing the complete sub with us!

I guess it's a fair adaptation (I only watched the anime though). The first episode was too short, resulting in some emotions were not conveyed properly and felt out of nowhere. After that, it was all good. The rest of the characters were okay, but Aqua could have been better IMO. He was ON and OFF. Not sure if it's the acting or writing. Arima Kana character was the best.

Please use the spoiler tag

It's a good police drama (8/10) but a bit short in terms of number of cases...well considering this is a negotiation team, that's understandable. However, it still did not make me love Yonekura for some reason. She always been stereotyped with the same attitude, style, character, and surrounding...i mean how people affected by her (imagine female version of KimuTaku)....lol Not sure how I would have felt if I watched this in 2008 though.

I personally have no problem with the way they handled Harrison's character. In fact I quite like him, probably because he is not your typical villain who will bark but no bite. This guy is simply NO-NONSENSE. He will just kill without hesitation. And they also don't hesitate with the special effect. Blood splash, brain scatter, truck crashes the taxi scene, etc

I also have no problem with the way they didn't kill Harrison in the end. Although it's kind of predictable to have that Last Scene with Harrison on the rifle, go hunting. I accept that as a creative ending and no, I won't watch S2 if there will be any in the future....lol

I like that in this drama Yamamoto Koji did not have to show off his muscle...LoL and it's also nice too see how his character die in despair! hehehe

About the lack of backstories as many have commented: I think it was done sufficiently without dragging the series or even adding unnecessary filler episodes.

This one has a slow start. The first episode was damn slow and boring. It turned into better starting at episode 2 though. Suzume Mino was also in the cast but none of worthy fan services to talk about if that matters...lol

I'm not a fan of Netflix produced Jdramas but I think this one was okay.

Haha you're right! Those "tough childhood" backstories that usually came in the middle of series, are very Kdrama-ish and it's an exhausting trend. It should be stopped and banned already! LOL

You can add it yourself if you want to. But her role was too small in this and I'm not sure if she had other mainstream works.

The revelation in the last 4 episodes was really bad that it made me change the rating to 6.5/10.

PLUS: Cantonese, Hong Kong Bustling Street, Beyond, police in action
MINUS: Poor mystery writing, too many plot holes, poor crime investigation writing, not making sense twist, inconsistence characters (thankfully not too obvious but still), wasted potential for a heartwarming family relationship (only exist in the last episode)

This was an enjoyable drama despite the (very) weak mystery/crime/investigation writing. It should have been around 7.5/10 according to my rating system.

HOWEVER....

Thanks for the info. It was free before. Now they have implemented membership system it seems.

This one is definitely much better than its MDL total rating. What I liked about this drama is the mystery is not so predictable. It also has no (or maybe less) logical inconsistency as far as I remember. I guess that's the most crucial part for a mystery drama.

Watched the SP the other day. It was funny.

I wish they didn't force the romance between the 2 main leads. It could've been better without the romance for this kind of drama but yeah this was during the era where someone has to end up with the other one at the end....so....

This is actually not bad. But if you saw the other posters elsewhere, please know that the baseball is just a clickbait. The focus was more on the workplace and FL growth.
