Ooh... I loved him in Hana Kimi, thought he was meh in Keibuho Yabe Kenzou, but quite a presence everywhere else.
I like Keiko (that ending kiss in Buzzer Beat still is my best j-drama kiss ever), but I didn't think she was spectacular at comedy in Mop Girl (though in fairness, she didn't ruin it either). Is this a detective drama grounded in reality (and not drowned in too much bishie-ness)? I mean, is it closer, to say Mr. Brain or Yukan Club? And does it have shades of Mei-Chan no Shitsuji, because that butler-princess thing really ruined it for me?
