SYNOPSIS
嵐 Arashi - 迷宮ラブソング Meikyū Rabu Songu (Love Song)Hosho Reiko is the only daughter of the owner of Hosho Group, a major international enterprise. She hides her true identity as an heiress when she's on the job as a rookie police officer.
Reiko's personal butler Kageyama is a perfectionist and he takes care of all of Reiko's needs, from driving her around to managing the household. Kageyama oversees Reiko's dinner, serving full course meals from hors d'oeuvre to dessert.
Reiko talks about her cases to Kageyama during dinner, and he helps her solve the cases after dinner.
REVIEW
倖田來未 Koda Kumi - Love Me BackNazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de could be a fun watch, or rather it is, if you try not to over-analyze things. It can get boring at times because nothing would really make sense until Kageyama goes on a lengthy explanatory speech near the end of each episode of the drama.
Hosho Reiko and her superior Kazamatsuri Kyoichiro are from illustrious backgrounds who have chosen to become police detectives rather than work in their respective family businesses. Although they are both from the privileged class, Reiko is classy and sophisticated in a low-key manner but Kyoichiro loudly boasts about his ostentatious lifestyle.
In a nutshell, Reiko and Kyoichiro are both celebrities and police detectives. However, they are both terribly inefficient in their jobs that it's a wonder how they even managed to pass the screening process. What's even worse is that they need the assistance of Reiko's butler Kageyama so they can do their jobs properly.
There's nothing wrong with being a butler, but I wonder why Kageyama is a butler when he seems to be exceptionally qualified in many other occupations. He could definitely succeed as a police detective, especially since he is essentially working as one as he's basically doing Reiko's job for her.
