A new drama season, new series I won't finish watching
My first jdrama since. . . Hammer Session, and it's:
LADY～Saigo no Hanzai Profile～
darkeyedwolf's poll reminded me that I wanted to watch this drama (Sailor Mars~ ♥ 4eva!) The premier is nearly two hours, and I felt every minute of it. There are plenty eyecandy, but the characters themselves didn't really gel with me until the end of the episode. I doesn't help that I find a lot of Japanese crime dramas unintentionally funny.
Things I like about episode one: the "unskilled in romance" B.S. was thankfully absent. Let's hope it stays gone! The team is made up of two men and three--three!--women. The most developed relationship within the team is between Shoko and her female boss. Shoko also has a sister who doesn't really do much in the first episode. Yay, ladies! Yay, ladies who focus on their jobs, and not the men around them!
( Collapse )
Next up: Control (another lady detective) or Utsukushii Rinjin (the one where Nakama Yukie isn't "unattractive.")

"LADY" focuses on a team of profilers in the CPS, a fictional police division that deals with analyzing criminal behavior. Kitagawa plays the part of Shoko, a gifted profiler who returns to Japan after working with the FBI in the United States. Her character is described as a "crime maniac," as she is overly knowledgeable about past crimes, while also being unskilled in matters of romance.
