What's more enthralled me than good music is a show where they present a detective story. Whether there's a detective, cop detective, or any profession involved. There has to be a mystery and impressive completion.

Enomoto Kei (Ohno Satoshi) is a security "otaku" working for a security firm. He is not an easy person to familiarize oneself with, always collected and calm, unapproachable, a maniac in Physics, Science, Architecture and profound in other basic theoretical foundation. He is certain and proud of the fact that there is no key which he cannot unlock. How about open up your social life, maybe?

Kei is asked to help reveal a mystery behind a locked room murderer. While he lacks any interest in solving the mystery, he is inevitably intrigued by the term, "Locked Doors" and decides to take on the position. He works side by side with Aoto Junko (Toda Erika) and Serizawa Gou (Sato Koichi), who are lawyers working at a major law firm. Junko is pure and forward, acting upon her instincts while Serizawa is a prideful elitist who sees time as money, and therefore, will not take on any job that is unprofitable.

Possessing a vast amount of knowledge and acute insightfulness, Kei is able to unlock the locked doors and unravel the secrets leading to the solution. Never before has there been a drama focused solely on locked doors.

No wonder this drama has a good ratings cause its original, fresh, light yet tight story line. What I Love form a Japanese series is they has this typical strong characteristic in both cast and plot, despite their short amount of episodes. Oh well, I love brief case with unique puzzles and unexpectedly dashing resolution.

I give 8/10
