Voice: 110 Emergency Control Room (2019)

It's a nice adaptation.

Every time there's a Japanese adaptation of a Korean drama I'm always interested. Especially if it's a drama that I really like. Voice 110 was like that.

Overall, the Jdrama really stayed true to the original while injecting a localized Japanese flavour to the original story. Since usually the renzoku format of most Jdramas are shorter than the usual lengths of an average kdrama, initially I was concerned whether or not the Jdrama could fully integrate most of the original plot and conclude it nicely. Turned out that I didn'treally need to worry about that.

For viewers already familiar with the original Voice, watching the Japanese adaptation may feel redundant since you should already know most of the big twists and reveals. Not to mention how some of the more gruesome cases/scenes from the original may not be included or changed. But honestly, this Jdrama may still intrigue you still since there would be some plot points that may happen in a slightly different way compared to the Kdrama due to the shorter run.

While the Jdrama may not be as brutal and graphic as the original, the drama still manage to give quite an emotional ride. Not to mention you may end up finding easter eggs paying homage to the original kdrama at an unexpected moment.

This show is one of the fastest moving, well detailed, insanely dramatic shows I have seen in a while. Yes, this show is a remake of a Korean show (the same title I believe), but I haven't seen the original version, only the Japanese remake. Even though comments I've seen say that this is only a copy but, in my opinion, I believe this show is capable of standing on its own and does so very nicely! Then again, I haven't seen the Korean version...

This show has great specific detail of how a policeman and/or detective in a certain department works, from the inside out, and how they all cooperate together from the 911-call-center (or 110-call-center in Japan) to how they are sent out and how they "work" each call. It was amazing to watch them handle each case!

If you are a fan of Karasawa Toshiaki, Maki Yoko, Kimura Yuichi, Masuda Takahisa, YOU, Iseya Yusuke, or ANYONE AT ALL IN THE ENTIRE CAST, then you definitely need to watch this show! It is an action-packed, emotional, fantastic rollercoaster from start to finish! It was known from the beginning that there was one large case for the show in its entirety, however, the amount of time and detail used in each episode was spectacular! It was a very detailed, intense, and dramatic showing of a "cat and mouse game".

This show, even if it is a copy, should not be missed! The cast, the way the show itself is filmed and created, is one of the most superb views I have seen in a long time!
