LOVED ONE

2026 · 1 season

A quiet, serious procedural that lingers on grief and the lives behind each death, moving slowly but leaving a heavy, tender ache.

Created by
Michiko Namiki, Hiroaki Matsuyama
Genres
Drama, Mystery
Starring
Dean Fujioka, Kumi Takiuchi, Yusei Yagi
Overview
"Goodbye" is something that could happen to anyone tomorrow. And the feelings that remain afterwards. Through the serious subject of "forensic medicine," it carefully captures the feelings of love for others and the time they lived, quietly shedding light on the darkness of a "society where the cause of death is unknown".
