Without further ado, introducing the first drama I’ve ever reviewed – Unnatural! This is a story of a group of forensic pathologists who take matters into their own hands and investigate the circumstances revolving around the “unnatural” deaths of the bodies they’re tasked to perform autopsies on. The group of folks at the Unnatural Death Investigation (UDI) Laboratory is basically its own crime-solving unit, just without their own tasers and flashy badges.
Mikoto, Shoji, Kube and Nakado are the four “main” characters and except for Shoji, each of them have a personal storyline that the drama delves into deeply. This is something I enjoyed since it was tied in perfectly to the story and didn’t feel unnecessary at all. If you watch this drama prepare to be wrapped in a lot of mystery and by the end you’ll be on the edge of your seats wondering if they’ll solve the puzzle behind the last body they’re assigned for the autopsy!
I’ve watched a handful of dramas by Ishihara Satomi and she’s a great actress – that’s one of the reasons why I chose to watch this. I was not disappointed!
