Karamazov no Kyoudai ep.1

Here will be a little review after finishing watching the first episode of Karamazov no Kyoudai. This is a suspense drama that will definitely interest people who likes a dark theme story.



Synopsis ( from DramaWiki):

In the town of Karasume, most of the lands are owned by Kurosawa Bunzo, the head of the Kurosawa family and the owner of a real estate and construction company called 'Kurosawa'. Though Bunzo is much hated by the people of Karasume, due to his greed and profiteering ways, no one dares to stand up to him. The townsfolk came up with the saying, "Kurosawa loves alcohol, money and women". Bunzo has 3 sons, the eldest being Mitsuru, who was born to his first wife. Followed by Isao and Ryo, who are the sons of his second wife, Shiori.
One day, Bunzo is found dead in his bedroom, under very suspicious circumstances. The police rounded up all three sons, and brings them in for some voluntary questioning. The detective already knows each of their motives for killing Bunzo, where it all started 2 weeks before the murder at the Kurosawa family meeting...

My impressions:

I had no idea what to expect with this. This was actually very different than any other dramas I have watched. 
The first episode is an introduction to the 3 Kurosawa brothers and their father. We are brought sometimes in the future, where the 3 brothers are interrogated about their father's murder, and sometimes in the past, where we learn more about them. The presentation and the setting is very original. This drama had a  dark and colorless atmosphere (as you can see on the screenshots). The story was interesting and I am curious about what will happen next, as we do not know who murdered Kurosawa Bunzo. It seems to be not easily predictable as well. It was a serious drama, there is no comedy. If you like suspense/dark/mystery drama, I really recommend this title for this season.
