Life and Lies, a light hearted drama with some intriguing cases!
Chanced upon this drama recently on Irozuku Subs and decided to watch it. It has an interesting premise on having a FL who can hear lies, assisting a detective. Its lighthearted, quirky with good dialogue, and encourages the viewer to reflect upon themselves as well ! :")
If you're into hardcore mystery with difficult to solve tricks or twists, this drama is not for you. Rather, the drama showcases the human and life aspects, told through FL, Kanoko, and her struggles to navigate between the types of lies told by people. Like other japanese dramas, some dialogue makes you ponder about life, on the "whys" and what ifs" and the importance of seemingly small things in life. If you like this, you'll be sure to enjoy the drama like I did
Kanoko journeys along with Souma, and together, solve mysteries. They learn how to handle human relations, understand the complexities behind the telling of a lie, and balance whether it is truly good or bad to tell a lie.
Set in the Showa Era, the drama set is big budget, and certainly displays the allure of the architecture then.
I especially loved episodes 4 and 5, the dollhouse case was both intriguing, devastating and gave the creeps. Overall, the show features great acting, sentimental dialogue of their struggles and has a good OST which helps viewers to ping out when Kanoko hears a lie
Watch if you'll enjoy a different sort of light hearted, slice of life mystery drama!
