I'm in the middle of watching this so my ratings are based off of the two episodes I've already seen.

I'm always trying to find some good Asian action dramas without the sappy romance and I keep coming up short. I love my Kdramas but I'm trying to venture out into trying to watch other types dramas just in case I hit a slump. I've been hitting a lot of slump Kdramas lately so here I am trying to watch a Japanese drama.

Right now this series is OK. It's not really grabbing me. When that happens it leads me to drop the series altogether.

Why isn't this drama grabbing me right now?? Is it because there's no character connection going on here? Is it because everybody's role is just...flat? I love police dramas because of how well the characters intertwine with each other and so far that's not happening here.

The main character has no emotion...he's blankly staring out into oblivion just running his lines. Other characters look like they regretted trying out for the roles they were given and it truly shows.

The one thing that I seriously hate about police dramas is how a civilian knows more than the actual police and the police becomes dumb at this point. They're relying on someone outside of the scope which makes them look utterly useless. Plus it seems like Japanese dramas have a tendency to look down on their female counterparts and decides to add that into the series.

I'm never a fan of the Japanese music because it seems like they play the wrong choice at the wrong time: The Nutcracker theme??? Really??

I may stick this out. The ratings may change...I would like to find something that would leave me to hitting the next episode. This one so far isn't it. I'm just wondering what those who gave this series a 10 saw that I'm missing.
