Good enough

Warning: Spoilers
This drama contains enough action and comical situations to keep you entertained till the very end. Especially the leading actor was so good, acting perfectly his role that was eccentric and odd, even when he acted like a cat. The big twist in the end wasn't easily predicted, and that was a plus for the drama, even though it was a bit sad. The action scenes, in addition, were plenty and, along with the small cases, it aided to make the plot really interesting. Plus, the friendship dynamics were really good. So, 8 out of 10.

A mindblowing entertaining mystery drama with wonderful performances

Hi,

Well to start with,I have to mention that this drama is superbly entertaining till the end.

The central character to this drama is Yamaneko meaning 'wildcat' played wonderfully by the talented Kamenashi Kazuya. This Yamaneko's antics make you crazy. He has athlete's foot so expect him in flipflops and rubbing his feet all the time. Secondly he is terrible(bad) singer who loves to sing but hates it when people point out this to him. I wonder how difficult it might have been for Kamenashi to sing that way,considering he is one of the best singers. Thirdly he loves cup noodles. When he is not doing anything,he will be eating cup noodles. Fourth, he occasionally pees in his pants and never accepts it. Fifth,wears cat hats that look so cute on him. Not to mention the weird glasses that he wears.

With all this eccentricity,he is amazingly intelligent and witty. He exposes crimes and criminals with vigor. Has heart of gold and wants japan to see sea of change.

What the good thing about the drama is that the crimes are exposed in a funny and hilarious way. There are cheeky one liners uttered by Yamaneko that make you smile.Never in the drama you will feel bored or sad.

This drama is basically a mystery drama at its core. You will have goosebumps every-time twists and turns unfold. You need to watch the drama till the end to uncover the mystery.

Kamenashi Kazuya is a versatile actor. He has displayed wide range of emotions in this drama. Along with Kamenashi Kazuya,Narimiya Hiroki as Katsumura Hideo Hirose Suzu as Takasugi Mao are important characters. The rest of the support cast is excellent. The drama is made on good budget and the product has turned out to be excellent. This drama definitely needs a sequel.

There are lot of interesting things in this drama that I have purposely left out. You need to watch them.

PS : In episode 6,you will find Nobuta re-union. Horakita Maki will make a cameo.
