Coming off of Unnatural, I was unbelievably excited for a medical mystery drama with Kubota Masataka in it. And though I can't say I'm a huge fan of romance plots, the one in Radiation House isn't the worst I've seen, and I like that they address the fact that he's unintentionally making her feel bad about her own accomplishments. The camerawork is gorgeous, noticeably so. I'm not one to pay much attention to OST but hey, you can't go wrong with an ED sung by Man With A Mission.

There's a problem with the plot, though. That is, I don't think this drama ought to have been this long. I think the way that they bookend every episode with narration that has a meaning that changes before and after the episode, but the content of the episodes in and of themselves just doesn't seem quite... enough? Conflict is minimal and easily solved, and it really starts to grate after eleven entire episodes. The show settles into this formula of Igarashi sees something -> asks for more scans -> they don't give it to him at first but then either they bend the rules or someone has a change of heart -> Igarashi was right. Also, along the way one of the supporting case has a day in the limelight. It's just a bit trite and cheaply feel-good, you know? So I suppose if you're looking for a pretty time waster with nice actors but minimal real plot investment, this is for you?
