Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the manga by Takashi Nagasaki and Koji Kono, the series embraces the 'bad cop' archetype rare in Japanese detective dramas, which typically favor earnest, rule-abiding protagonists. Kurokouchi's shameless corruption was genuinely transgressive for 2013 J-drama.
Tomoya Nagase and Ayame Gouriki's combative chemistry sparked rumors of a real romance during filming—tabloids had a field month. The production leaned into it, adding more friction-heavy scenes in later episodes.
