[First impression] Tokuyama Daigoro wo Dare ga Koroshita ka?

[riji]

This drama wasn't in my radar, but it turns out to be pretty interesting. Yeah, interesting, but not that good. It has so many flaws and questionable things, but I love mystery, and they succeeded in making me curious. So this drama stars Keyakizaka46. This is the first time I heard about them. I don't follow girl groups generally, so I only know very few of them. I didn't even know this was a girl group's drama project. But after a few minutes in, I had some suspicions that they were idols. They looked like ones and their acting was pretty bad. So I looked it up. And yeah, I was right.

Since I can't organize my thoughts into paragraphs, here are my scattered thoughts after watching the first episode.

• I can't believe their first reaction when they saw their sensei not moving at all was just staring at him. And after one girl checked if he was still breathing and confirmed he was dead, and everyone was like "Really?", "Isn't he just sleeping", and they all said this casually. Even when they were all convinced he was dead, they still talked like nothing happened. Really though? No one freaks out? This is an all-girl school and nobody screams?


• Why does nobody call 911? I mean, the equivalent of 911 in Japan, but I forget what it is. Or at least, they can tell the other teachers. Instead, they hide the body, even from the teachers. What are they thinking???


• Stop touching the body. Do not move the body. Do not pull the knife out and put it back in even deeper than before. Do not take selfies with the body. Do not do anything. Why can't they just stay still? When the police finally come, they're all gonna be in so much trouble.


• They concluded it was a murder, not suicide, and decided to hide the body until they found the murderer. Why do they think this is a good idea? They can just inform the teachers/police and then try to find the murderer.


• That one girl who keeps taking selfies with the body and almost blows up the cover multiple times is so damn frustrating. Can't she use her brain for once?


• Every time the locker door opens and reveals the body, it always creeps me out. He's supposed to be dead, but looks like alive. That makes it extra creepy.


• The background music is so spooky. Sometimes too spooky.


• There were two teachers coming to classroom. There were times when the body was in their sights (before the girls could hide it), but they didn't see it. It just doesn't make any sense. How can they not see it? They were clearly looking at the same direction as the body.


• Who's that girl looking from the other side of the classroom? Why is she doing that creepy thing? The background music gotta chill a bit tho.

That's it, I guess. This is shorter than I expected, but the drama is only 25 min long. And they keep repeating the same thing over and over, like doing something to the body. So most of the time, I was just like "Seriously tho. Leave the body alone." I think this is gonna be one of those dramas that I criticize a lot, but will still watch it till the end. Because I'm curious to see how they're gonna resolve this. And will they all go to jail for hiding the body and messing with it? Well, for now, I just hope they'll stop doing stupid things starting from ep 2.

never expect decent acting from idol :P
I didn't know this drama existed.
Keyakizaka46 is a new group. You should check Silent Majority, their title debut song, and Shibuya Kara PARCO ga Kieta Hi, Hirate Yurina's solo track on their 2nd single. Hirate's a center girl. They only have 2 singles.
Silent Majority is not a cute song. It's kinda of cool song and has nice lyrics. On the PV of SM they wore military-ish outfits.

I looked them up once I finished watching this, but I haven't got a chance to listen to their songs. I'll try to listen to them later.

I think I saw a gif of them wearing military outfits. When I saw it, I wondered why their name had 46 instead of 48. I thought it was a typo lol.
