Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri...
Okay...it hurts...
I just finished watching Episode 3 of Aiba's drama Mikeneko Holmes no Suiri, and sorry to say but I'm not really sure if I'm going to be finishing this drama. To say I am disappointed doesn't even begin to explain how I feel.
Watching a man who is made to feel like a failure over and over again is not my ideal of good entertainment. It's painful, it's pathetic, it's depressing and it kinda hurts in the end.
Yoshi (big or little depending on who is talking to him), is not a good cop, there is nothing to be ashamed in that. He's not cut out to be a cop, okay, lets move on, lets find out what you are good at, hey, wasn't he great at cooking in the first episode, there ya go, he can be a cook, he's good at it, it makes the people around him happy and most important it makes him happy.
...Oh wait,he can't be a cook, he has the family legacy to honor. He has to be a cop because on his father's death-bed he made them promise that one of them would follow him in the long family career. So...he can't stand blood, he can't stand violence, he is afraid of women, and he doesn't seem to have learned that thing most humans have, it's called "the thinking process", Yoshi isn't able to use his brain to process the things that are going on around him, he takes nothing in, he doesn't analyze things, he doesn't even talk about them to himself. He doesn't even try...at all. He has to be given big fat telling hints from the cat.
And the biggest thing that I dislike is that his family doesn't even notice how unhappy he is during all this.
Haruma, she works on my nerves a bit, she's the little sister but she pushes way too much, not only telling him what to do, but it's even to the point of telling him what to think, but I can except this, because the majority (notice that word, I NEVER said EVERY woman character, just the majority) of woman characters in today's entertainment industry who are written by men generally come in two forms, sweet, innocent and useless or mean, bitchy and ruthless. She's a combination of both, no one else can say or do anything mean to her Big Yoshi except for her. Okay, I get that, but yet at the same time she really doesn't care if he is safe or happy. She just wants him to be a cop, end of discussion with her.
Now we get to Big Hiro, now he really pushes my button, this grown man is so conceited, so immature, so selfish and pathetic that he is willing to put his brother's life in danger over and over again just so he can stay at home, live off their father's rents and write the big Mystery Novel. A book that hasn't even had ONE word written down on paper yet. What the hell is he doing in that room all day. He's a bigger failure than Yoshi is, because at least Yoshi is TRYING. And please before I get accused of bashing, I love the actor, I think he's a very good actor and I think he's one hell of a sexy man, but I'm talking about the character, not the man, don't kill me for my opinion, :-) I really don't understand why Hiro isn't the detective in the family. It's a perfect job for him, he's the oldest, the one who should be working in the family business, he loves mysteries, he likes to work out all of the little details and questions (he's not right most of the time, but he tries). He sets up the case boards and makes the little graphs and little magnetic buttons...Yah Big Hiro, he is born to be a cop, wait, nope can't be a cop, he's a writer...NOT! What he is is a freeter, no, not a freeter cause a freeter gets part time jobs, he sits in that room all day and eats dumplings.
Plus he threw a small innocent (okay, Holmes did eat the dumpling, but that is besides the point) animal out in the cold all because of a dumpling. See selfish. He holds Yoshi up to huge expectations when having none for himself. Not one, how can he hurt his brother over and over again like that. It really hurts to watch that.
Both Haruma and Hiro only think of themselves, they don't want to be a cop so it's Yoshi's job. They live in a bubble, a bubble that is all about their lives, their world no one else's, especially not Yoshi's.
Holmes...not really understanding the entire premise of the cat yet, maybe there is more coming on the whys and why nots. Because so far not getting it. He's really not helping, hell the cat bullies Yoshi along with everyone else.
So he can't be a cop, let one of the other kids be the cop, he becomes a cook an everyone lives happy ever after.
Plus I would really love to see Aiba in a drama where he is strong and confident and helping people...and SMILING, that boy has the most beautiful smile in the world, use it Japanese Drama's, use it!
I'll give it a few more episodes, but if it hurts my heart to watch Aiba being bullied by the ones who supposedly love him over and over again, well, then I'm gonna have to stop watching. Like I said, it just hurts too much to watch it.
