This is a continuation of the series "FUGOH KEIJI (Part 1)". If you don't know the basic plot of this series, read the feature on the original series because this new one is pretty much the same.
Miwako has more mysteries to solve by using even more money than ever before. I'd forgotten how funny and entertaining this series can be, and the idea still hasn't really gotten old. There are still fresh ideas that can be explored with this series, and it's still as funny as ever.
So little has been changed from the original series - even the cast is exactly the same with no changes at all. The only change I have noticed is that the police now have a huge, dark room in order to discuss the investigation of the crimes, whereas they used to have a more realistically sized, well-lit room in the original series. That's pretty much it. Since the series is completely episodic, there was no plot progression at all in the first series, and there isn't any in this one either. So there aren't any new plot developments to discuss.
Seriously, I think this series is a jolly good time to watch. It doesn't matter whether you've seen the original series or not - you won't have any trouble settling in with FUGOH KEIJI DELUXE- it doesn't even really matter which episode you start from (though there are a few two-parters). So definitely give FUGOH KEIJI or FUGOH KEIJI DELUXE a try. You should enjoy it.
Synopsis:
Kanbe Miwako (Fukada Kyoko) is a detective who wears expensive clothes and is chauffeured to work every day. She is the granddaughter of the super-rich Kanbe Kikuemon, who earned his vast fortune through dirty means when he was young and now wants to repent by spending it all on his only granddaughter and her work. With a characteristic "Excuse me, may I speak?..", she comes up with unusually clever as well as unusually expensive means to lure out the criminals, annoying her coworkers to no end, but always getting her man. This second series is similar to the first except that the police have a grander conference room and the Kanbe clan even more wealth and luxury .
