At his job he meets a girl and through some circumstances eventually they go back to his house later. The ...

I'm actually really excited about this. I love Kimura & Shibasaki Kou and I also love dramas with sci-fi elements to them, so I figure I can't lose. It's my most-anticipated drama this fall.

Ooh, something to look forward to this spring! I agree with those picking up on the Galileo -vibe, which popped into my head too upon reading the synopsis. Since I loved that drama, I just hope this is similarly entertaining. And besides Kimura, having Mizushima Hiro co-star is like icing on the cak...
