[Dorama Review] Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo N (neo)

Today I’m going to write a review about a detective-genre dorama. It’s Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo N (neo) which was broadcasted on 2014. This dorama is adapted from a famous manga Kindaichi written by Yozaburo Kanari and Seimaru Amagi, illustrated by Fumiya Sato.

The story is about a high-school student whose grandpa is a famous private detective. His name is Hajime Kindaichi (played by Yamada Ryosuke). Kindaichi often help to solve a lot of case with skills inherited from his grandpa. He has a childhood friend who is also his classmate and believed to have a crush on him, named Nanase Miyuki (played by Kawaguchi Haruna). There is also a kouhai (junior) who adores Kindaichi and follow him around with a video camera, named Saki Ryuuji (played by Arioka Daiki). A lot of cases happened and Kindaichi managed to solve the problem with the help of his friends.

This dorama is made really similar to the manga that I notice no difference between them. The character, the story, the case, everything are just the same! The cast are from Johnny’s Entertainment (again), which specifically from Hey! Say! JUMP group member, Yamada Ryosuke and Arioka Daiki. As for Yamada Ryosuke, I’ve seen a lot of his dorama, and no doubt for his acting skill. For the other main cast, this is my first time seeing them and it’s OK. In conclusion, I can say Johnny’s Entertainment is really producing good actors, musicians, dancers, singers, everything. Multi talents star.

The OST of the song is Weekender by Hey! Say! JUMP, as expected since the main casts are monopolized by them. The song is good even though I don’t think it matches the dorama well.

I give 8.5 out of 10 points for this dorama.
