Dying Eye (2019)

The plot was okay, the first episodes are a bit odd, there is some good scenes in the last 3 episodes, the adult content wasn't that dirty, the acting was simple. The odd here is that Amemura, the bartender, has an unknown personality, when he was hit and other people came to the bar, he felt so cold and numb. Only by the last episodes he starts to show his real self.

As always jdramas are more mundane and the morals preach here are not fit. The relationships here are very superficial, none of the couples or friends are convincing. Yuka and her husband, Narumi and her mom, the cops, it felt they were all 2d personalities. The money and death issues were entangled with the morals preach here.

The car scene is played too many times, 6 episodes, it shows more than 10 times, but it works well when the whole plot explanation is released. The supernatural here is left without real explanation and was not necessary, the dying eye name title meaning, they just brush off the motives.

Okay this drama I really loved it and watching Miura in this role is such a treat no doubt, but some of the writing in the drama is just excellent. And the first three episodes were so seductive and enticing, because you didn't have a clue what was going on so you were just constantly on edge! But the reason I'm rating Aku No Hado ten which was another crime drama airing at the same time, and Dying Eye 8 is because even though the beginning of both dramas was epic, Dying Eye sort of lost steam once the main mystery was solved a couple of episodes back. And even that would have been fine but then the ending of Dying Eye just didn't work for me. It was way too typical and preachy and cliche is bearableif done right but preachy gets on my nerves, like you know the whole 'crime bad' spiel Lol like bro we get it. You don't have to be so self-righteous. Aku No Hado on the other hand maintains its suspense till the very last minute and isn't all preachy.
