Tengoku to Jigoku: Psychona 2nin
Mar. 30th, 2021 11:23 amAyako Mochizuki (Haruka Ayase) is a 35-year-old detective. She is a hard worker and seeks out justice, but she lacks flexibility. Ayako Mochizuki investigates a murder case. From the evidence she collects, she targets Haruto Hidaka (Issey Takahashi) as the murder suspect.
Haruto Hidaka is a chemistry researcher and he runs his own company. He is smart and proficient with his work, but he is also a psychopath murderer. Right before Ayako Mochizuki arrests him, their bodies are switched. (asiawiki-2021)
I wonder what was the need to add Ayako is 35-years-old... it is not important at all :/
I didn't love this drama as I expected. It was good but it disappointed me in several occasions.
I think Ayase Haruka was better than Takahashi Issei O_O I think she did, not excellent, but very good in her psycho form. She may have exaggerated a little bit since Hidaka wasn't such a psycho in his manners. Takahashi, on the other hand, made Ayako look too feminine, too girly, while she wasn't like that in her natural shelf.
I also thought several times that maybe Hidaka was a trans because he loved to dress up and put on make up while being Ayako, and even slept/kissed Riku, but nothing :S I don't know why they added that if it didn't mean anything.
Kitamura Kazuki was great as their counterpart, ruthless and smart. How can you not like a police who does his job? Generally in Jdrama cops are so stupid (a bit like Yamaki, which I hate) so of course he was one of the best characters. And I usually like him more in this kind of roles than the "nice" guy. Emoto Tokio, on the other hand, wasn't as good as I was hoping :( I expected more of him.
The worst actor was that Nitta, ugg. Terrible acting, every one of his facial expressions made me cringe.
While I did like the switching of bodies and the "is he/isn't he", I didn't like how easy was for Riku and Yamaki to notice Ayako wasn't the same and how quickly they accepted the switch of bodies. On the other hand, they were good allies, so I can't complain much.
Mystery-wise, it was engaging, and the ending was realistic. BGM (the Beethoven one) didn't fit the drama since it didn't seem serious.
**My rating: 8/10**
