MUSEUM

Three years ago, the public was shocked by "Yojiyo Murder Case". It's a sadistic crime where a girl killed and preserved using liquid crystal material used for jewelry making. Now, a serial killer is targeting the jurors involved in that case. Detective Sawamura Hisashi's wife is one of them. But, he doesn't know where she's since she left with their son two weeks ago.

Why are people watching this?

1. A-list cast. I always love when Shun plays a cop. Even the other cops are familiar faces. 

2. It's for gore fans. Well, I'm not a dedicated fan, but this doesn't bother me too much. 

3. Capable men at work are usually losers at home. 

It's very clear to me that a good policeman is hardly a good family man. While most wives expect their husbands can stay home and accompany them, really good cops are always on the run chasing criminals. Therefore, drama often depicts capable cops as someone who's sharp at work but useless at home. Both working outside and at home require a set of skills, usually different ones. It's no surprise that man would fail at one of them.  

4. Do not take credit for someone else's work. That is the main idea of this movie. I'm not going to explore it because it's a spoiler. But, let us talk about taking credit in another setting. No one likes people who take other people's credit. It's called stealing. How come you do nothing but receive rewards? What to do if you encounter that situation? Some would let it go, hoping that jerk would receive retaliation from I don't know...anywhere. Some would scold directly or secretly take revenge. Which one heal you most?
