I finally made it to the end! It was no mean feat.... my laptop is on the verge of a strike I think, it's really laggy and takes ages to do anything! :(
So, after the first episode, I can safely conclude that this is less of a police drama and more of a comedy. Yes, there is the mystery of "the organisation" and Yuki-chan's missing memory, but it's got more laughs in it than any episode of Law & Order I've seen. But I'm not complaining about the genre! I'm already looking forward to the next episode :) It certainly hasn't let me down on what I was expecting... Oguri is so cool (and swoon-worthy) as the serious Takakura and Hiro is so funny as Maruo, the likeable, self-confident "gangster"-type, who just lightens up the mood by his very presence. The partnering makes for great laughs, kinda reminds me of Starsky and Hutch. Both are lovable, I'm torn between having to choose between who I like more! And of course there's the token idiot Horikawa. Meeting Takakura's family was hilarious too, though I do prefer the part where he was talking to his mum over the phone while in the middle of busting the bad guys, than the part where we meet his sister (the long-awaited reunion) and her boyfriend. Takakura's mum calls at the most inconvenient times! *laughs* Well, I guess that really rounds up the comedic factor - ridiculous family of the serious Takakura.
Now, on to the next episode! After I restart my computer........
