I saw two episodes last night and unfortunately I am going to stop here because it just isn't that exciting or even interesting for me. Not even the cases and the scientific mysteries. The characters do not draw me in, although I am sure the actors are doing their best and acting as directed or as the J-drama style was at the time I guess. I love the lead actress' face, she was beautiful and I relished the time capsule of the 2000s. I also liked that they used minimal make-up on the actors and they have a natural tan or their natural skin colour instead of the unnatural white that is the beauty standard nowadays. It's odd but I feel that now an entirely new type of female face is in style in Japan and it's very different. I guess that's part of the nostalgia of all these older East Asian movies and dramas. The actors' skin tone was much more diverse and natural.
I have also watched Midsummer's Equation a few years ago and was very much underwhelmed by it so I guess that's it about this character and these types of stories. I frankly do not understand the hype.
Anyway, one thing I do not understand is how come Masaharu Fukuyama became much more attractive years later. I kept looking at him and wondering if it's the same guy.
