Loved this mini j-drama. Although the detective lines are simple, but the storyline with Makki and his brother is very strong and heartbreaking. Last ep made me cry, laughed and melted from cuteness 5 times in the row. Makki & Keita complement each other well in investigations and communication with clients.

Cons➖: color grade is toned in shadows with hue green and dark blue although its not dat horrible than made in j-drama Gokushufudo.

Pros➕: storyline, chemistry between the male leads, the production, filming, editing [cuts of certain scenes add a lot of humor], the soundtrack and background music - fit the situations perfectly, characters and situations are funny [let’s appreciate role of a brilliant (voice) actor - Kenjiro Tsuda.] The acting is typical for j-dramas.

⚖️So this typical presentation of “overacting” may doesn’t work for some ppl (especially if u k-drama fan/u watch only mainstream netflix dramas).

And for those who, like me, adore such underrated dramas as: Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi (2013), Ribasu Ejji Ookawabata Tanteisha (2014), Coffee Ikaga Deshou (2021) - i can say with 80% confidence that ull enjoy watching it, and even 4 eps will not be enough for u.

PS: yep, i love j-dramas with the chosen family trope…
