### About Series "Daddy Detective/Keibuho Sugiyama Shintaro (2015)"

Daddy Detective tells about Assistant Inspector Sugiyama Shintaro, a benevolent detective working for Kichijoji Police. The cases he solved were too numerous to count. Upon returning home, he became the father of three children, Miharu, Kaito (Suda Eito) and Gaku (Matsuura Rihito), he had with his beloved wife Kaori. However, he cannot deny that he sacrificed his family because he was busy at work. At that moment, Kaori is battling a serious illness in the hospital and his mother-in-law (Takahashi Keiko) is not pleased with him. Sugiyama has focused on his family since his wife got sick. He even considered leaving the front lines and the arrest rate of the Kichijoji Police was therefore reduced. Then a murder occurs in the jurisdiction of the area. Sugiyama tries to deal with child rearing, housework, and investigation. However, he can hardly do so because he ends up late to a meeting because he has to send his children to kindergarten. Unable to just stand by and do nothing, the mother-in-law announced that she would win custody of the child. Sugiyama decides to give up being a detective, but...

**#Review: **

Before I get started in the review, I have just one thing to say! Yes, I did watch this show because Kaname Jun was a lead actor; yes he does appear in every episode; however, I suggest that you not let him become the ONE AND ONLY reason you are watching this drama.

The story is absolutely heart wrenching, sad, upsetting, thoughtful, unique, ingenious, kind, silly, happy, and filled with a lot of genuine honesty from a family, from friends, and from coworkers that you don't really see a lot of from this genre/type of drama. To be honest, I was a little hesitant in watching (even if Kaname Jun is acting as a main character) this series because it seemed more of a comedic take on family life while being a detective. But, once I started watching the first episode, I realized that I was wrong. This show sincerely and seriously takes on the aspect of being a working detective and head of the house hold; it shows, in true honesty, just how hard balancing two jobs (detective and father/husband) can really be. So, to me, this show is very much true to life.

Each actor played their character with respect, honesty, kindness, and sincerity; and I'm not saying you don't see that anymore, but even down to the child actors I felt that their skill and talent was close to perfect for each story and case that arrived. I'm very glad that I decided to watch this show and I definitely hope a lot more people give this drama series a chance!
