(Zero's Truth: Forensic Medical Examiner Matsumoto Mao (Zero No Shinjitsu)

[Machine Translation] The first family I ever met in my life was my mother, who was already dead... A medical mystery that sharply depicts the activities of a lone genius medical examiner who tackles the mysteries of death and the reality of forensic medicine. Emi Takei, one of the hottest actresses in the industry today, shuts off her energetic image and passionately plays a mysterious genius medical examiner. Shizuka Oishi, who has produced many hit movies such as "Four Lies" (TV Asahi), "Koumei ga Tsuji" and "Second Virgin" (both NHK), re-teams with Emi Takei for the first time in a year since "Weather Sister" (TV Asahi) in this much talked-about work. The vertical axis of the story is the case of the mother of the main character, Mao Matsumoto, and it is a story of "life and death" colored by the mysteries and surprises that are featured in each episode. The story is also a multi-layered ensemble drama woven around the "eccentric" medical examiner, who is fascinating because of his irascibility. 8 episodes in total.
