Lucky Seven
May. 27th, 2019 04:33 pm"Lucky Seven" depicts the story of 7 detectives who work together at a private eye firm in Kitashinagawa, Tokyo. The seven detectives do not get along and argue frequently, but they pull together to when its time to solve a case.
Shuntaro Tokita (Jun Matsumoto) is a playboy, more interested in chasing women than having a job. At a hotel, where Shuntaro and a woman are having an affair, Teru (Eita), Junpei (Yo Oizumi) and Asuka (Riisa Naka) from the private investigation firm "Lucky" awaits to take their picture.
After hours of waiting, Shuntaro and the woman walk down the stairs of the hotel lobby and walk in different directions to avoid attention. Private Investigator Teru intentionally bumps into the woman in the parking lot. The woman drops her scarf. Teru picks up the scarf and goes back to the hotel where Shuntaro is waiting in front of the elevator. Teru hands that scarf to Shuntaro, telling him that the woman who dropped the scarf was with him. Shuntaro thanks Teru and runs to the parking lot. When Shuntaro hands over the scarf to the woman, they embrace and Private Investigator Junpei takes a picture of them.
Later, Shuntaro calls the woman while walking down the street. The woman tells him that their picture was taken at the hotel and her husband knows about their affair. She tells him that they can't see each other anymore. While talking with the woman, Shuntaro notices Teru, the man who handed the scarf to him, inside of a watch store. Shuntaro realizes that Teru most likely set him up.
Shuntaro follows Teru after he leaves the watch store. They have a brief confrontation, but Teru is able to ditch Shuntaro and arrive back at his private investigation office. Then, Shuntaro walks into the office. As Shuntaro and Teru argue, the president of the private investigation office, Toko Fujisaki (Nanako Matsushima), walks out of her office and addresses Shuntaro. She asks Shuntaro if he would like to work for their private detective agency. The next day, Shuntaro walks into the privated investigation office and begins his first day on the job ...

I knew beforehand that Eita wasn't going to be part of this drama for half of it, but I still missed him. The group was nice and the cases were interesting, but since Nitta (Eita) disappears, it kinda loses its magic. I guess his character was the most interesting one, besides that Eita always shines in whatever role he plays.
He was so good in his action scenes. MatsuJun as well, but it was impossible not to see him as MJ doing a skit in "This is MJ". He was always MJ to me, never Shuntaro. Unlike Nitta (I hope Eita plays another cool character again! He looked so cool and badass).
So cases were ok from Ep06 to almost the end of Ep10. Not WOW, but fine. The script was good except for some parts were it was a bit cheesy, but they weren't many.
No doubt the main song is a 10/10 for me.. I love "Wild at heart", one of the 2 highlights of this drama.
And of course I am going to watch the SP.. there is a scene (in the hotel) that is the main reason I want to watch it ^_^
**My rating: 7/10**
