First of all I have always been a fan of the detective mystery genre since the first Jdrama series that i seen. Additionally I been a fan of Emi Takei since i seen her performance in the Ruruni Kenshin movies. So this series was one that i always wanted to see.
Story
Unlike most detective mystery dramas which usually follow detectives this drama revolves around a female student played by Emi Takei and her teacher who is played by Ayano Go. Personally i liked this paring as this kind of relationship was pretty unique and i loved to see the relationship that the two characters have.
As with all detective mystery dramas the drama revolves around the solving of cases by the pair.
Casting
Having seen Emi Takei in the Ruruni Kenshin movies I knew full well that she was more than capable of playing the role of Moe. And having seen the entire series i was correct as Emi's performance was amazing.
Having only seen Ayano Go in Soratobu Kouhoushitsu where he had lead role alongside Yui Aragaki i knew that he was a capable actor. His portrayal of Moe's professor and friend Kohei Saikawa was good but some of his expressions i felt were a little stiff.
Arguably one of the best performances in this drama alongside Emi's was Akari Hayami's portrayal of Shiki Magata who is a central character in this series. Her performance as the calculating genius level scientist was excellently played.
Cases
A good detective mystery series won't be one without some good cases to make it interesting. All of the cases in the series were well created and the mystery behind them was not always easily solved which is always a good thing. The cases in the series covered plenty of variety and all were pretty interesting. However i believe that the series did overuse on the locked room mystery's which though popular can get old pretty fast if overused.

Conclusion
This was a good drama that i particularly enjoyed because of the strong story and the strong acting from Emi and the rest of the cast. The cases featured were pretty interesting and can be surprisingly hard to figure out. The music in this show was particularly good and was appropriate for different scenes.
If you like Detective mystery dramas that have a strong story and a strong cast then this is definitely a good series to watch.
