What's it abt? (edited from Dramawiki)
Hatakeyama is an enthusiastic rookie cop whose only strong point is her marksmanship, while Sakura is a veteran detective with the #1 arrest rate. The two work together to solve crimes, despite differences in their ways of thinking. Park Ji Won is the son of Sakura, who likes Hatakeyama and was suspected to be a criminal in a crime later on...
Love & Hates:
Plot-Honestly, the storyline could be more engaging, and the cases can be more suspenseful. Thus, quite often, the drama seemed pretty dull to me. The last case was a good one, lots of twists & turns and even the leads were suspected...and we didn't know who's the real mastermind until the very end. I wished that wld be more scenes focusing on Ryu Si Won & Nakama..but I am sad with their relationship towards the end...haiz..The drama has its funny times, interaction b/w Nakama and Izumi...
Cast-Anticipated Nakama's return, she's alright la, not much surprises from her. Her image was a little similar to her previous dramas...long hair, funky and friendly. Chemistry with Ryu Si Won was great too...
I bet Ryu Si Won put in great effort to speak Japanese throughout the show...and he's pronounciation was natural and comfortable. His character didn't really stand out, and his image was rather similar in his Korean dramas too. However, I think PJW is a much more cheerful guy, and i like his interaction with his mum.
Izumi is a cute fella...her character Sakura appeared to mean Hatakeyama many of the times, but she's actually very concerned about her rookie partner. I like her chemistry with Nakama...there's a strong bond b/w them...perfect team.
OST-Check out themesong "Chiisana tenohira" by Aqua Timez
Worth watching?
Wont be a must-watch drama, but fans of Nakama and Ryu Si Won, do give it a try.
