Police in a Pod

★★★★★★★★☆☆

Kawai is meccha kawaii~ 😄 Overall, great casts and comedy. I laughed my head off at the stake out scene at the restaurant in ep. 8. Lots of heartwarming moments too (j-dramas are always so good at pulling at people's heartstrings). Hope there's a season 2!

Tenshi no Mimi: Kotsu Keisatsu no Yoru / Angel's Ears: Night of the Traffic Police (2023 Drama)

This looks interesting. It has the vibes of Hakozume: Tatakau! Koban Joshi (2021) and  Seigi no Se (2018).

7 Favorite Japanese TV Dramas of 2021

I watched a lot of good TV this year. Here are 7 of them.

1) Uchi No Musume Wa, Kareshi Ga Dekinai!! (Wednesday, 10 p.m., Nippon TV)

The intimate moments between Kanno Miho and Minami Hamabe feels so unique to the two as a mother-and-daughter moment should be. They seem to close themselves in their own universe during these scenes, with them gradually indulging in a language entirely of their own among each other. The family conflict that cracks the show open – which I won’t detail any further for the sake of withholding spoilers – frankly feels optional to the overall success of this series. With such two colorful, magnetic personalities at the core of it all, and an irresistible sense of chemistry between them, the plot seems arbitrary: I can watch another dozen episodes to see what kind of other shenanigans the two will get into in their daily lives.

2) Koi Desu! ~Yanki-kun To Hakujo Girl~ (Wednesday, 10 p.m., Nippon TV)

Like Uchi Kare, the plot of Koi Desu! seems arbitrary when the show is centered on such a charming, wholesome duo. I’d also like to imagine the show’s utilitarian nature is a quality adapted from the original four-panel slice-of-life manga of the same name, especially with care and focus on the minutiae of daily life of the visually impaired. It’s part educational: every episode, for instance, inserts a short comedic interlude about topics like “how do the visually impaired watch films?” But it avoids being rigidly didactic. It’s a human drama that acknowledges the differences and struggles without making them its entire identity.

3) Omameda Towako To Sannin No Moto-Otto (Tuesday, 9 p.m., Kansai TV)

Omameda Towako To Sannin No Moto-Otto is easily Yuji Sakamoto’s lightest comedy in recent years. The talkiness of his characters, and the meticulousness of details in their dialogue, remains, though. While this got tedious pretty quick in his blockbuster film from this year, Hanataba Mitai Na Koi Wo Shita, it becomes a charming quirkiness for this show especially as the ex-husbands bicker among each other. It expressed a very distinct identity that kept me interested as an audience and eventually got me to dig deeper into Sakamoto’s other works, like Quartet (another recommendation) and Itsuka Kono Koi Wo Omoidashite Naiteshimau (maybe not so much). Takako Matsu, too, earned her awards here as the lead as the headstrong titular Towako.

4) Konto Ga Hajimaru (Saturday, 10 p.m., Nippon TV)

Konto Ga Hajimaru is almost too relevant to my life and identity as a person who invested so much of their time – a decade in fact, just like the main characters – in their creative pursuit without much return beyond personal satisfaction. And personal satisfaction can no longer justify it after a certain age: there are bills to pay and a life to live. I’ve been on the other side, too, like Kasumi Arimura’s Rihoko, where obsessing over something has given meaning to an otherwise listless time. It’s only when the pursuit is finally about to end, you start to snap out of it, see the bigger picture more clearly and reflect. Sometimes the fact it happened is enough.

5) Hakozume: Tatakau! Koban Joshi (Wednesday, 10 p.m., Nippon TV)

I avoid cop dramas because procedural shows feel too monotonous in structure to really grab me but also because of principle. Hakozume fits the bill of exactly why I avoid such things as it frames the work of the police as a noble deed. But as a friendship-adjacent comedy, the dynamic between Erika Todo and Mei Nagano are amazing as it comes; the latter in particular is a strong suit here, winning me over as a new fan. The show drags out the central conflict a little too much for the sake of having an actual story when really the two can just indulge in whatever cops do and Hakuzume can still prove itself worthy.

6) Saiai (Friday, 10 p.m., TBS)

The mystery that drives the whole plot of Saiai is only a excuse for me to be invested in the reunion and complicated relationship of Yuriko Yoshitaka’s Rio and Kohei Matsushita’s Daiki. It is, though, also an essential force to strengthen this push and pull of their relationship as their encounter becomes increasingly forbidden due to the investigation. Their meetings make up only a portion of the show in terms of air time but the briefness only makes their relationship that much precious, especially as they congregate in places that seemingly shelter them from the politics surrounding them. They seem so free and safe with each other when they break into their native dialect.

7) Kanojo Wa Kireidatta (Tuesday, 9 p.m., Kansai TV)

Sorry, Oh My Boss!, Kano Kire is the superior rom-com this year about a dorky, clumsy girl stumbling upon an intern job at an editor’s room of a fashion magazine. Fuka Koshiba thrives in her role as Ai with such memorable acts of physical comedy, her faces and body gestures so hilariously expressive. The show also made me a fan of Sexy Zone’s Kento Nakajima, who also knows how to do comedy standing as Koshiba’s foil and Ai’s romantic interest, with sharp self-awareness of himself as an idol.

Other shows of note:

Kikazaru Koi Ni Wa Riyuu Ga Atte (Tuesday, 10 p.m., TBS)

Nijiiro Karte (Thursday, 9 p.m., TV Asahi)

Rikokatsu (Friday, 10 p.m., TBS)

Super Rich (Thursday, 10 p.m., Fuji TV)

   I have my last Dutch lesson next week. The last one is always the test and I am not very sure I am going to pass. I am just not very good at studying. Though I did try to follow a Dutch recipe (for chicken tikka masala) and it ended up with an edible result, so I guess it is not completely hopeless.

   I had two bell pepper plant I have planted as seeds. One of them has recently died. I suspect an ilness (plants can get ill, I know that from my botanics classes) as the soil in it’s pot looks a bit odd. The potato plant - I had a very old wrinkly potato I didn’t want to eat, so I put it in a pot - is thriving. I’t getting really tall and I’ll have to get it bigger pot at some point.

   About three weeks ago I have finished reading Bitter Chocolate by Lesley Lokko. It is about two black girls from Haiti and one white girl from Engeland. They all have their problems and circumstances, the book follows them from their teens till they are around their mid thirties. The book is by no means perfect, but it is an enjoyable read. It does a very strange thing when some of the girls’ problems are solved because they are strong and independent but some are solved because some man has solved it for them. The auther is actually half scottish half ghanian.

   Not long after the book I also finished watching Japanese TV-series  Hakozume: Tatakau! Koban Joshi. The series follows two police female officers: Mai Kawai, who just graduated the police academy, and Seiko Fuji, who is a very experience and one of the best in their police department. The series is by no means accurate, it is meant foremostly as a comedy (there are some very serious parts too). I found it very fun to watch.

now I'm starting to wonder if Erika Toda has someone in her family dealing with dementia or alzheimers. some of her recent work deals with people losing their memories.

Top right is Hakozume Tatakau Koban Joshi (Police in a Pod) starring Mei Nagano, a rookie cop who is “nosy” about her colleagues love lives. Middle left is Kyo kara Ore wa!! (From Today It’s My Turn) starring Kento Kaku who becomes a delinquent to attract girls but ends up losing to others.

Middle right is Hotaru no Hikari: It's Only A Little Light In My Life starring Haruka Ayase, an office lady who rather sloth around at home than finding love.

Not sure about the rest. If you know, please comment! 😂

Amami Yuki in Emergency Interrogation Room S1E1

I realised there's not much dramas about uniformed police going on a street patrols like Hakozume: Tatakau Koban Joshi! (2021) and You're Under Arrest (2002).
