Kiina [ J-Drama]
oh i never actually expected this drama to be good, you know. I mean, it's not even one of those highly anticipated drama or heavily promoted like say..VOICE, Mei-Chan's Butler and Triangle etc...BUT
BUT it got itself one of the highest viewers' ratings for the first episode~ 16.1% !!!!!
So yeah, i wasted no time and got it once it's available. Another reason i wanted to catch this is becoz of Kanno Miho. I first watched her in this series called...(Love, Love, Love) something along that line and she was eccentric. She's fit and really suitable playing a freaky character i tell you. And in Tomorrow, with none other than Yutaka Takenouchi (another one of my fav actors) ^^ Although i survived through Tomorrow despite it's pretty plain storyline, i think it's pretty enjoyable to see both of their interactions in there. Ill write up a review soon.
So Kiina is basically about this woman, who fails miserably in her love life, seldom sleeps but goes on an eating binge everytime she was heartbroken. Yet, she's practically a genius. Although being an eccentric, weird and acting awkwardly, her character's so loveable. Being a detective, working in her own department dealing with supernatural cases (but mind you, the story's based on true facts over the years with scientific proves) so i really like the plot a lot. Then, there's this newcomer who studied abroad and came home to join forces, hoping to get into the elite forces, yet he was thrown into Haruse Kiina's wagon as her assistant. Despite his initial annoyance and reluctance towards Kiina, he slowly grows to undertsand her way of working.
Of course, there are humorous scenes and subtle moments. but yeah, i like this drama and i really HATE to say this, but i prefer this over VOICE now. The first episode alone OWNED the other two episodes of VOICE like...without any effort. Basically becoz this drama is a detective story and it's based entirely on factual histories and so, it's just more believable than VOICE, which without much evidence the characters come up with solutions. Which to me, is kinda...OFF.
So Kiina rulez over VOICE atm. And i hope it'll continue to catch people's attention, well...judging from its ratings, it is anyway...xDDD
