Gourmet Detective Goro Akechi Review
Tumblr media
(SPOILER WARNING AHEAD)
First of all, easily one of the best Japanese detective dramas i've ever watched! The storyline was so well written and the development that all of the characters went through especially Goro & Ichigo. Which speaking of them they are so cute and I'm a bit gutted we didn't confirm if they did end up together by the end following Ichigo's confession and in the final episode it was very easy to tell that Goro cared way more about Ichigo then he did Maria.
Maria was such a well written villian too and I think following the ending it could have easily helped build up for a Season 2 where she didn't actually die. You end up feeling sorry for her 3 acomplices by the end of it also, as in my opinon they were very easily manipulated by Maria.
I would highly recomend taking the time to watch this, although I do wish there were a few things a bit more tied up at the end just to fully finish it all off. Many praise for all the actors too as their acting really helped convey the correct emotions that the characters were going through along the 9 episodes.

jdrama 2020 spring
For those who haven't been paying much attention to what's happening for Japanese TV, and more as a record for my future self who may want to look at the disaster that was 2020, the spring season had meant to be the pre-Olympic season. Given that the Olympics would attract the attention of most Japanese audiences, the TV channels had invested most of their hopes (and budget) in this season. Much awaited sequels for Hanzawa Naoki, Haken no Hinkaku, the Japanese remake of Suits, and BG were to lead the season, while star-studded casts filled out the rest with Ryuu no Michi, Unsung Cinderella, MIU404 and Miman Keisatsu. Almost every A-lister was on the roll. But, like many things in the last 3 months, that was not to be, even as Japan admirably took reins of its earlier explosion and kept the local outbreak under control. None of the above listed shows except Suits managed to screen, while smaller scaled shows managed to scrape past the quarantine and make their way to the networks. Bishoku Tantei ~ Akechi Goro | Official site Stars: Nakamura Tomoya, Koike Eiko The premise of this is one of those silly things that can only arise from a manga. A private detective goes around solving cases that are related to food, and in the first case he accidentally creates his arch nemesis, a beautiful woman who connects with her psychopathic inner self and finds a second career as an assassin for hire. She enjoys killing people, so why not, she reasons, do it while helping others who want to kill people but don't know how to go about it. I only recently watched Legal High, and it was only then I realised that not so many years ago, Koike Eiko went by sexiness rather than good acting. It's remarkable how much she's come from that, especially if you watch her act in Toma's recent Watashi no hanashi ga nagai. This series brings her back to the femme fatale or murderous vixen trope, which she clearly enjoys. Unfortunately, there's not much else to enjoy about the series. Nakamura is far less interesting here than he was in Nagi no Oitoma. What might have worked as a manga with its dramatic grandstands and aggressive flirtations come across as awkward and difficult to believe when transplanted to real life. There is also not much "life" in this series...the story exists in its own bubble of reality, and the world around it seems empty and soulless - again a set up that works with manga but feels poorly fleshed out in live action. Silent Voice 2 | Official site Stars: Kuriyama Chiaki I have a fond spot for Kuriyama, who has always been one of the more versatile actresses of her age. The first season was enjoyable - Tateoka Ema might come across at first glance to be a wallpaper, but she has a special skill of extracting information from suspects by their subconscious reactions and gestures. It's as if the American Lie to Me was crossed with Amami Yuki's KinTori, Kuriyama manages to dominate the camera by the way she controls the flow of the investigation or reacts to the information presented. Almost all of the scenes take place inside the interrogation room (one reason why this season managed to screen without glitch), but still remain gripping for 40 minutes each time. Tateoka's side kick has changed from Shirasu Jin to Baba Toru, as the former has joined a cooking show set in a fictional town of European characters played by Japanese actors...so, let's not start. Byouin wo Naoshikata | Official site Stars: Koizumi Kotaro, Takashima Masanobu I had no idea what to expect when I went in, and I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently based on some true events, the story is about the revival of a small district hospital by a brave hospital director who brings in a number of radical reforms. It sounded mind-numbingly boring, but turned out to be a remarkably pleasant watch. It's nice to see Koizumi go back to playing his type (instead of his recent roles as the mastermind villain) as a smiling, unflappable, optimistic yet realistic and big-hearted gentleman. In fact, Arihara is so perfect it's hard to believe someone like him exists in real life, yet it is also very hard to dislike him. One amazing scene was when he, as the new vice director, gets confronted by the entire frontline staff over his decision to pare down and standardise medical supplies, and one of the senior nurses challenge him with, "What if we make a mistake because we're not used to the equipment?" He smiles graciously and says without a hint of irony, "Let's avoid that from happening; after all, we're all professionals." In the hands of anyone else, it's hard to avoid making that line sound patronising or passive aggressive, but there's something about Koizumi's manner that makes you believe it's heartfelt. I'm not sure how the Japanese health system works, and it seems quite different to what we're used to. The impression I get (and feel free to correct me if you're familiar with the system) is that there are numerous small privately owned hospitals, which has the right to refuse to accept or refuse to treat certain emergency patients. As one recent newspaper article alluded to, during the height of the Covid outbreak, one ambulance circled the streets of Tokyo for hours before finally a hospital agreed to accept the patient. Beyond that though, I'm getting to the stage of life (or career?) where management is interesting, if only on a theoretical level. Good doctors do not often make good medical administrators, and doctors also classically respond poorly to being managed, but whatever health system you work in, hospitals are a money-draining exercise, and sometimes these result from considerable wastage and inefficiency. It doesn't quite have the drama or stakes of Ikeido Jun's underdog series, and that's to its benefit. It's smaller scale and as a result much more intimate and relatable, as though this story might take place on your neighbourhood.

For those who did not know or forgot, the heroine in Gandine was once Nakamura Kano, the MC in Tokusatsu Gagaga.
She was also Kobayashi Ichigo from Bishoku Tantei Akechi Goro.

Chef Kobayashi, if your dishes got trashed on the internet by an anonymous mob and the restaurant you spent your whole life building is close to ruin, would you forgive them?
