That katana looked super long than usual though...lolBTW, I think Genshin was probably just a generic representation…
Maybe symbol of trophy after defeating the Japanese army? Note that it was on the left hand, so it's probably the confiscated one....but the more likely answer probably because it will look good on that poster arrangement according to the designers eye...lol that could also be the reason they chose a long one to fill the gap between the space.
I've never heard if Korean have ever produced a very historically accurate piece anyway. The most they have are the cameo of historical figures or story based off events but rest of the writing would be fictions.
Very good SP with right amount of emotion. The writing was amazing with in depth focus on struggle of a person in pursuing dreams and the people who never give up supporting that person. Highly recommended! Watch it at NHK world while it's available.
It's an okay drama to binge watch in terms of the plot. The production was good IMO. KimuTaku as usual played…
The rationale behind the accident was not making sense and felt forced with some characters turned ally overnight. It also seemed like the drama was written simply because they wanted KimuTaku play a bridge engineer role which he haven't done before. This kind of plot honestly will work just fine with any other professions IMO....LoL
It's an okay drama to binge watch in terms of the plot. The production was good IMO. KimuTaku as usual played the cool KimuTaku despite his character in this drama is in the 50's. Takeuchi Ryoma's character reminds me of the good ol Jdrama...lol Overall acting performance from everyone was decent enough. It will worth your time.
The story behind the mystery was quite interesting. But the writing wasn't the best for investigation genre (more…
So this drama made me want to watch Odd Taxi anime, which I did afterwards. I can tell that many of the context was lost in this drama. Therefore if you want to watch RoOT, I highly recommend you to start with the anime first.
is it a separate story from the series?when does this take place ?before or after the series
Yes, the case is totally new and independent from the series, but it has very minimal reference to some of the characters.
It's hard to remember when exactly this took place since the series isn't linear to begin with...I guess it's before he rode the shinkansen in the series (where he solved dispute between mother/daughter or something i don't remember)
The story in this Part 3 was good although it was just a typical forbidden romance. Loved the performance from all the actors especially Emoto and Fujino. Hopefully we will get to see Part 4 and 2 (movie) available online soon.

This isn't the best investigation because you don't know what the detectives learned from their investigation but for some reason the drama shows you like they have solved the mystery with hard work....lol Of course as viewer you know what happened because it was revealed in the last 3 episodes but it wasn't clear how the detectives know it.
The story behind the mystery was quite interesting. But the writing wasn't the best for investigation genre (more in the spoiler below). Some of the characters were not explained, as viewers are assumed to already familiar with Odd Taxi, which is a setback for those who are not. There were some comical moments in the drama too so you might still be able to enjoy this even with incoherent writing and abrupt scene cut. Overall an okay drama if you pretend this isn't an investigation series. 7/10
Overall a good drama as far as the time leap theme is concerned. The mystery part was engaging but if you watched many of this genre you could possibly see through it. Few episodes felt slow than others, but thank god I didn't see any plot holes, which is a good thing for this kind of drama.
Strangely, the spin off was a bit more interesting than the whole series in terms of the writing. Although entertainment wise I would rate both 8/10. So if you've watched this, I recommend you to check out the spin off as well.
I think this remake is better paced than the Anne's version. But somehow in the middle it felt like original writing instead of Ikeido's writing. Some of the cases were hard to grasp due to the overly compressed details. The main case wan't that interesting but overall it made you curious. Also not a fan of the visual direction of this drama that was too pretty face oriented. They even have Kaname Jun for the older role....lol
They purposely wait for the child actor, Nagao Yuno to be born to make the live action....lol She's the perfect Pinoko IMO...I can't imagine other child actors in previous years (Shida Mirai, Ashida Mana, Yoshikawa Ai) would fit the visual. Haven't watched the old version so not sure which actor played Pinoko.
Overall good selection of cases for this time live action. It makes you feel like you want to see more after watching this. It would be great if they plan to make the series version before the kid gets older, but I doubt about it.
Pretty straight forward from the synopsis. You will get what was advertised. Overall an okay drama. You won't feel like you wasting time watching. The mystery part was also satisfying. I also don't see anything wrong with the ending. Although this drama could have been better should they focused more on small details. Entertainment value 8/10.

BTW, I think Genshin was probably just a generic representation of Japanese samurai instead of a real person in history.
