Before my holidays I have found some time to watch a jdrama; I have selected a mini-drama due to short time available. It was “Keiji No Genba”, a short 4 episodes saturday jdrama, rather recent this time, it came from the just passed season.
It’s a drama about a rookie detective who teams up with a veteran detective, on the verge of retirement, and develops a good relation while overcoming difficulties, working together everyday with those that are connected with his cases.
Title: Keiji No Genba (刑事の現場)
Genre: Detective, mystery
Episodes: 4
Broadcast period: 2008
It is a nice small drama, with some touching scenes. Nothing spectacular but it can be viewed anyway, just for pleasure. The story is interesting also if it follows a tryed out scheme already seen in other detectives jdramas. A comparison could be done with “Odoru Daisousasen”, a jdrama older but much better. They have a lot of common points in the storyline but “Keiji” is less exciting.
Moriyama Mirai is a good actor, and perform very well the inexperienced detective part. On the other side Terao Akira is the “old” one. Pride, mistakes, mysteryes build this jdrama.
Happy watching.
