my review =)

Ikuo and Tatsuya are orphans. They live at Mahoroba’s house which is a child and family services home. At their elementary school, they see Teacher Yuko, who took good care of them like a real older sister, killed right in front of them. Ikuo and Tatsuya tell the police what they saw, but the case is covered by a police officer wearing a gold watch.

15 years later, Ikuo (Toma Ikuta) now works as a detective. He is a good person and his arrest rate is the highest at the police station. Meanwhile, using his handsome appearance and cleverness, Tatsuya (Shun Oguri) becomes a high ranking yakuza.
Detective Ikuo and Yakuza Tatsuya have a singular purpose, which is to find the man wearing the gold watch, dig out the truth and reveal the dark side of the police organization.

This sp is the continuation on season 3 students. they gonna graduate. There are nothing major in here, it just about they are gonna graduate and their problems. Honestly it kinda recycle many plot before but at least they reminisce some scene that not been shown before and it kinda funny.

Overall, nothing major in here just another students are graduating. With that i rate it 3 out of 5..

Synopsis source: asianwiki

Gokusen another great drama. However after too many season that have the same format and same student's problem with different new students it becoming boring. Well it is funny without any serious development or storyline. Just be honest each season of gokusen that I watched, I only want to see more Sawada Shin x Yankumi becoming a lover. The first season have this sweet love story and started season 2 and 3 it becoming typical drama with this typical storyline. I'm actually kinda disappointed. Ah well I guess Sawada Shin will never come out again. Only Kuma have becoming a regular cast in the Gokusen drama.

With that I rate this drama 3 out of 5.. :D

This is an old dorama. The OST, Can You Keep a Secret? by Utada Hikaru is really nostalgic. I used to hear this song using disc-man. Ah the old gadgets!! I feel old LOL. :D

This dorama have interesting storyline about prosecutor. I always watch drama about lawyers and detective. Now it is time about prosecutor. It show a new side about prosecutor.

It is always fun to see Takuya Kimura. It have kinda dull scene but it still interesting to watch. I just love the bartender that sell everything LOL.

Synopsis :

This series is different from the past detective stories. The Lieutenant is collection of true mystery stories in which the detective, Ninzaburo Furuhata, must solve ingenious crimes and outwit elusive criminals. Although Ninzaburo Furuhata is a government officer, he does not wear a tie. Although he specializes in murder cases, he does not carry a gun. He does not use violence. More than anything, Ninzaburo Furuhata conducts himself as a gentleman, and uncovers the tricks which outwitting genius criminals play by cool reasoning and smooth talking. In every episode, Ninzaburo Furuhata will introduce a different criminal in his memory, and share his experience tracking and interacting with these criminals.

Synopsis source : d-addicts

This is an old detective drama. This drama is actually really good. It only focus on solving the case and it doesn't have plot. It just a simple storyline. It even have only 2 regular characters.

This drama is different than others detective drama. It is different in terms of having the murder that take place at the beginning of the episode. What is interesting is not who the murderer or how the murder take place. It is more on how Furuhata casually investigate people and managed to pin point how he know what happens. He is kinda funny in some ways.

Overall, this drama is actually entertaining and funny. I love it and with that I rate it 5 out of 5.. :D

Synopsis :

Ainosuke will face off against his brother Yumehito (Yu Yokoyama), who is a genius criminal responsible for numerous crimes. Meanwhile, Hitomi (Satomi Ishihara), who is in heavy debt due to her shopaholic ways, dreams of a way to pay back her debts with the help of Ainosuke's special abilities ...

Synopsis source : asianwiki

This tv series pick up what left in SP. It have an interesting storyline and cases but... but it have a lot of plot holes. It just make me wondering more.

SPOILER AHEAD!!
Is the people at the police station are stupid? Ainosuke's brother doesn't even bother to use a mask and everyone didn't recognize him. Police have investigate Ainosuke's brother death. I'm sure they get access to his face. Arghh this stupidity just go on and on...

********************
Anyway, aside from the stupid plot holes, this drama have interesting cases. However the ending kinda weird for me. Well I don't understand the motive and everything ended too quickly.

For the interesting cases, I rate this drama 2 out of 5..

Sorry but this is not the best drama that I have watch so far. If you are fans of JE go on watch it haha :D..

Synopsis :

Aoinosuke Tanaka (Ryosuke Yamada) was born with a weak left eye. Then one day, Aoinosuke's older brother Yumehito (Yu Yokoyama) dies mysteriously, allowing Aoinosuke to receive a cornea transplant from his deceased brother. After the surgery, whenever there is a shock to his left eye he sees strange images of a possible robber and money bills. Aoinosuke assumes the images might be clues to his brother's death and starts an investigation with the help of high school nurse Hitomi Sayama (Satomi Ishihara). But just when their probe begins, an unidentified criminal organization appears to disrupt their investigation ...

Synopsis source : asianwiki

There are something wrong with the synopsis. Aoinosuke's brother donate his left eye and then dies mysteriously. LOL

Anyway, this SP is like the beginning of the series. At first it have interesting storyline. However Aoinosuke is not really clever in solving the mystery. He relies on the power of his left eye too much. The school nurse is annoying and talk too fast LOL.

Overall, the storyline is interesting but there are a lot of plot holes. The operation on the eye was so weird. The fact that Aoinosuke can use his left eyes straight after operation was weird. Isn't it suppose to take days for the eyes to readjust to new people? And why the operation was fishy and Aoinosuke doesn't question about it.

Interesting storyline but it doesn't reach my expectation. With that I rate it 2 and half out of 5...
