Okitegami Kyoko No Biboroku 終わり

Just wrapped up watching the Yui Aragaki/Masaki Okada drama "Okitegami Kyoko No Biboroku" and OH MY GOSH was it AWESOME! I love, love love this drama SO MUCH! As you all know from my frequent postings, I've loved this drama from its very FIRST episode and as each episode progressed, I found I only loved it more and more!

 The thing about this drama is that it isn't just an episodic detective show with a new mystery every episode (though of course, there IS that), but the story Yakusuke (Okada), a hapless and unlucky guy, who is in love with Okitegami (Aragaki) the beautiful detective who's repeatedly hired to get him out of his messes. Only trouble is, Kyoko is a "Forgetful Detective" whose memory resets every day and every time he meets her, she has forgotten him! As each chapter went on, however, the bond between the two grew and deepened til you knew just SOMETHING was going to happen! It was THIS underlying tale that really makes the show for me.

 As with all J-dramas I've invested a lot of my heart into, I'm always wary with final episodes as they tend to ruin the story and characters for the sake of a "twist" ending, and I was praying that Okitegami Kyoko wouldn't fall into that trap. Thankfully, what I got was an entirely satisfying conclusion that, while it didn't have earth-shattering consequences, left me feeling giddy and happy! Even shed a tear or two, MAN was this a GREAT FREAKING SHOW!
