  I am a sucker for detective dramas so Galileo really filled in the my cravings. Galileo however is slighty different from normal Japanese detective dramas because it involves physics are basically science. Although the cases are very unlikely to happen in real life, I think at least I could learn something from the drama. For people who likes explanation on mysterious happenings, this is for you.
  
  Detective Utsumi and Professor Yukawa has good chemistry. Although the slow romantic tension will kill stellar Korean drama watchers, its fine by all means in a japanese drama. Taking away romance and replacing it with more patnership and friendship are almost in 80% japanese drama. I think their relationship was developed enough and for romance suckers, you can have all you want in the 10th episode. Overall, it was a drama worth watching. read more

  Loved it! I saw the drama and the movie! The acting was brilliant. Both leads were exceptional and the storyline was most impressive. Though not scientifically realistic, it was a very entertaining drama to watch. Every episode was worth watching. It will leave you wanting for more. I love the song, "Kiss-shite". Its a very sweet song <3. I rewatched certain episodes of this drama and I barely rewatch anything. Overall, it is one of my most memorable dramas and I was obsessed over it for a while . Plus, the character was slightly imitated in the last episode of in Meitantei Okite, another drama.

  • They both use science to implicate criminals. Mr. BRAIN uses more of psychology while Galileo uses more of science. You learn alot from both. Who says drama is not educational?
