Wrapped up Shiranakute Ii Koto and it was a very good drama indeed, in my opinion one of Yuriko Yoshitaka’s best! The story of a journalist who discovers her Father is a convicted murderer and her search for the truth was a gripping one to be sure, but more than that it was the individual episodes showing Kate at her best, tracking down the leads and cracking the cases that MADE the show!
Kate Makabe is surely one of Yuriko Yoshitaka’s absolute best roles ever- she embodied the gung-ho journalist with such cute eccentric tics that only she could bring to the character and I found myself rewinding scenes just to hear the engaging way she delivered her lines!
And the other characters in the show were great, too- I mentioned earlier how much I loved the way her workplace really respected Kate, including her fellow journalists supervisors and boss, and I always looked forward to seeing them do their thing!
Will really miss watching this show each week!
A couple of other things I noted during the show:
There was an episode when Kate injures her right arm. The staff is worried about her coming back to work so soon, but she says “I’m left-handed anyway so I’ll be fine”.
I was like, “Has Kate been using her left hand this whole time?" and then I thought, "Is Yuriko Yoshitaka left handed in real life? ” I then went back and re-watched the first bunch of episodes and, YEP, she’s left handed!
Huh, never noticed that before!
Another thing I noticed:
Odaka is frequently shown in his Photography Studio where he works and where he and Kate have many of their meetings and private talks.
In one episode, they showed the outside of the studio:
…and I immediately recognized it as the same storage house where Abe Sadao and the gang lived in “Kokoro Ga Pokitto Ne”!
I'd know those steel doors anywhere, LOL!
