Synopsis
Kanna Miho plays Kiina, is a detective attached to a 'special' investigation unit that investigate cases involving unexplainable circumstances, supernatural or otherwise. She has a photographic memory and observant eyes and a brain that works like a scanner to piece a puzzle together, so says her colleague. Using those abilities, she determines whether it's a genuine police case and then solves the case.

Apparently, some of her cases are drawn from real-life cases.

I was interested at first, but after ep3 I don't have the desire to continue this. Not to mention how SIMILAR the cases are with Galileo xD

I'm a fan of Kanno Miho. But I have to agree with what other people said that Miho as Kiina is a miscast

LOL.

The lead reminds me of L from death note for some reason,,
after seeing the first episode,, I kinda wanted Kinna to be more,, eccentric
I know that she's eccentric but she keeps teetering on the edge of normalness,, which kinda makes her character a little indecisive (or for something harsher boring) hope it get's better as it progresses,,

on ep01
I think it is not too bad. Kiina is someone with very high observation and deductive reasoning abilities. Galileo however is someone who has those abilities (on a slightly smaller scale) but have high knowlegde in physics. Kiina is someone who others feel is eccentric and weird while Galileo appear to be someone who is eccentric and weird too but other people respected him. Althought similiar, these 2 character does have some variation and thus how they conclude a case is quite different.

Yeah, come to think of it, her supposedly eccentric habit could be a copycat from "L". But not convincing, hurh ? She needs to pour tonnes of sugar into her tea before I am convinced.

The drama's selling point is not Kanno Miho, but the fact that the drama draws from a reservoir of real-lefe bizarre cases.

I can't make out Kiina's character. On one hand viewers are supposed to understand her extraordinary abilities, but she looks "air-brain" and brainy at the same time. What an oxymoron. Perhaps Nakama Yukie would fit better.Even Fukada Kyoko is more convincing in Fugoh Keiji.

Hi, I also saw the first episode, and i really enjoyed that. Kinna is more eccentric and i also like Gilalio's work.
