So I'm watching the latest episode of Keishicho Outsider, where Hasumi (Gaku Hamada) and Mizuki ( Moka Kamishiraishi) are interviewing a victim who was attacked by a masked man, trying to get clues to the case.
Some guy comes into the room where he is introduced as a friend of the victim, who is praying for her to come through. I rolled my eyes and thought, "Duh, it's obvious that this '"good" guy is gonna end up being the attacker!"
WELL, whether or not the dude actually ended up being the attacker was still to be revealed, but I had a laugh when, in the next scene, Mizuki is talking to Hasumi and flat-out says she believes the criminal to be the helpful friend, because she watches a lot of crime dramas and that's ALWAYS who it turns out to be!
Not only did Mizuki call out the overused trope, but even went as far as saying it was a particularly overused cliche on TV ASAHI shows, the joke being of course that Keishicho Outsider is a TV Asahi show ITSELF!
AAHAHAHA, I was dying! TV ASAHI even further clowned themselves by having Hasumi say you have to learn from real life, not dramas...and ESPECIALLY not TV ASAHI dramas!
HAHAHAHA
