Tokyo Dogs

I was hesitant to begin this drama because Tokyo Dogs is about police detective blah blah.. boring. I hate police detective stories. The plot is weak, each episode is pretty stale. But because Shun Oguri and Hiro Mizushima is working together again, I thought I had to watch this. And for the first time, I'm actually disappointed with Shun Oguri. he never failed to impress me everytime I watch his shows, but for Tokyo Dogs, I was thoroughly disappointed.

As for Hiro, he did okay but still not impressive yet again. His comedic acts were supposed to make people laugh, but his facial hair and jokes did not impressed me.

Summary from wiki
Takakura So witnessed his father's murder at a young age. Pledging to catch the killer, he grows up to become an elite cop in New York City, where the criminal lives. His character is cool-headed and disciplined, yet adapts well. Because of major drug dealings, he gets sent to Tokyo to conduct a joint investigation with the Japanese police. There, he gets teamed up with, Kudo Maruo, a detective from a special investigative division. Kudo is a hot-blooded fighting expert due to his earlier days as a delinquent, but he makes a strong impression with his stylish appearance and is always interested in going on group dates. His personality, interests, and investigation methods are completely mismatched with Takakura's, but the two somehow work together to crack the case they've been given.

Nevertheless, I made through this drama within 2 days and the best part was the really random bickering between the both of them during the weirdest timings.

Ratings: 5/10. BORING. the romance was sucky!

(ps). on the side note: Narimiya Hiroki did a cameo for like a couple of minutes until he killed himself. The moment he died, i felt like crying. He did such a short appearance!!!
