Drama Time! Tokyo DOGS

What happens when a serious diligent detective and a skirt chasing detective become partners? Well, something funny I hope. Tokyo DOGS combines a serious cop story line with some eccentric characters to make it an interesting drama to watch. 

The main character in this drama is Takakura So, a smart detective from New York who is trying to catch his fathers killer who, coincidentally is Japan's drug dealing king.   Because of some events Takakura So is sent to Japan for a joint investigation on the case and is paired up with Kudo Maruo, a lady loving detective who uses his instincts rather than logic, not happy with their union and their detective ways being incompatible they argue from the very beginning.  They are assigned to take care of Matsunada Yuki, who is a prime witness in the drug dealing case but lost her memory after some traumatic events happened to her.  This unlikely partnership ends up being a very good one as together they crack each case they are given wonderfully. 

There is a lot that goes on in this drama dealing with some moments emotionally attached to the characters past.  Tokyo DOGS is the first true police drama to air on Fuji TV which makes me glad because it was a good police drama as it didn't fall flat at any moment.  I really liked this drama mostly for the characters as they made serious moments somehow comical with recurring gags and silly arguments that happened in awkward moments, where you wonder why the bad guys aren't alerted by their stupidness.  They even managed to make Takakura So a stern and serious character funny even if it wasn't him but his reaction to his family making you laugh.  I know you will love the characters as much as I did with that being said...


Matane!
