Mr Brain

There is a new Japanese drama currently airing in TBS Japan which talk about crime scene investigations call Mr Brain. This drama is about Tsukumo Ryusuke who was a successful host in a host club. But through an unbelievable turn of event,  he turn into a quirky, yet brilliant neuroscientist who work for the National Research Institute of Police Science. Using his high IQ and unique psychology, Tsukumo tackles complicated crimes and scandals, going head-to-head with the most brilliant and twisted criminal minds. But his weird personality complicates matters around him that give a bit of comedy mood into the drama.

From my point of view, this drama is a nice show with comedy elements which will make you laugh while watching Tsukumo solve cases. I highly recommend this drama for Japanese Drama fans. I got a friend who is crazy over this drama and every week ask me whether new episode is out or not. It is that addictive….
