Dele Episodes 1-3



WHAT IS IT?

Yamada Takayuki runs this company Dele that deletes whatever data a client wants to be deleted after they pass away. Problem is of course, identifying that a client has actually died and that's the job of newcomer played by Suda Masaki.

THE GOOD

+ Anything with Aso Kumiko in it is good. (She was so good in Kiseki no Hito)

+ Yamada Takayuki's character being in a wheelchair is interesting especially the
times where he has to go out into the field.

+ Chemistry between the characters is excellent.

+ The writing, acting, directing so far has been above average.

THE BAD

- I feel like stories about what happens to people's digital footprints when they pass away is an untapped goldmine and yet Dele is nothing more than your typical benriya uncover someone's sob story past jdorama, albeit a very good one.

- Why do they have to be so nosy? Its not like they get paid for finding out the truth. I know story reasons but they are more like a detective agency than a company created to safeguard people's secrets.

THE UGLY

= Yamada Takayuki's 90s haircut.

SUMMARY

Pretty watchable so far and stories are pretty good but is very formulaic benriya series.

I like this one so far too, even with the Suda's 80s hair cut and Yamada's 90s haircut.

Watchable so far, but let's see what they do with it.

I usually watch doramas w/ jp or chi sub, if you want to give it a try, check this site http://zhuixinfan.com/viewtvplay-905.html (several options for d/l, including torrent link), it has both jp-chi sub on their videos :)
