You're Under Arrest (2002)

A blast from the past~

I've always wanted to watch this drama, because I remember once reading about the manga. Although I never read the actual manga I think it is still visible in the drama: the comedy, the over the top acting, the strange characters such as the section chief, who's always looking for someone to play Shogi with him.

Every episode revolves around one case where we can see the characters develop and learn about the supporting characters. I wouldn't call the acting superb, but that somehow makes them feel more real to me on the contrary. The two main leads are simply charming and their interaction with each other and the people around them is really funny. I wish those girls were my friends!
The action was also great, because they get to show their fighting skills, but you see that they're still vulnurable and get injuries like any other human.

For me it was just a nice feeling to watch an old show with some actors I already know and also find new ones, whose work I might check out now. I gave this a high rewatch value, because it's only 9 episodes and an easygoing storyline that you can pick up anytime between. I recommend to not watch this in one go, but rather if you need some relief from a story full of suspense and drama.

Police officers keep fighting for our justice~! You're way cooler than Sailormoon! haha

И захотелось мне прочистить голову и посмотреть что-нибудь ненапряжное и глуповатенькое. Вот эта дорамка как раз из это серии. Она по манге-аниме, плюс пытаются снять с элементами этих самых манги-аниме, с глупым выражением лиц, большими глазами и звуками "ня". Но получается очень даже мило. Ня.
А еще прелесть старых дорам в том, что там можно увидеть нынешних звезд совсем молоденькими. Например, Мокомичи восемнадцати лет - оооооо
