I usually don't care much about crime/detective dramas, but I decided to watch this new drama because of the two main actors; Gouriki Ayame and Watabe Atsurou. They are my favorite actors. I like Watabe especially when he acts a serious character like he did in Gaiji Keisatsu.
Gouriki Ayame plays Makita Hikari, a police detective who is never suspicious of anybody. As she believes lies told by suspects, she is not a good detective. She is transferred to the cold case resource room where her main job is to organize cold case information sheets.
Watabe Atsurou plays Chajima Ryu'unosuke who appears in front of Makita and tells her that the resource room is changing its name to the Cold Case Anonymous Investigation Unit. He also tells her that they are going to work together. Chajima is a lawyer with high IQ who does not trust anybody and does dirty works for money.
(Spoiler)
Chajima and Makita work together to solve cold cases. What actually happens is that Chajima is connected to the Department of Justice and secretly works to solve cold cases through the use of plea bargaining.
Plea bargaining is not allowed in Japan. There have been talks to adopt plea bargaining, and what Chajima is doing is a secret trial of plea bargaining for a high-ranking officer at the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, named Kagurazaka Ryouichi played by Uzaki Ryu'u Dou.
I didn't know Uzaki Ryu'udo worked as an actor. My image of him was a guy in black leather and with dark sun glasses from the Down Town Boogie Woogie Band. He is much older, but still has the old image.
Makita, the angel, is against plea bargaining, and Chajima, the demon, just does what he was told as an obedient dog.
We'll see what happens to the two...
