Plot Overview – Based on a manga by Nami Sano, this mystery-thriller series introduces the audience to orphaned identical twins, Migi and Dali, who craftily scheme their way into the lives of an aging wealthy couple Sonoyama Osamu and Sonoyama Youko. The couple believes they’ve adopted a single child, Hitori, with no clue that they’ve unwittingly welcomed two brothers into their home, who have their own agenda. So Migi and Dali take turns to play Sonoyama Hitori.
If you thought episode 5 of “Migi to Dali” was weird, things just get weirder in six! So last episode ended with the twins getting stuck in the Ichijo mansion, which the boys are now sure was where their mother lived while she was alive. At first it seemed like it was the bratty Eiji Ichijo who forces Hitori (Migi) to dress up like a baby as a means to humiliate him, but the truth is far more twisted. Locked in a room, Migi does his best to hide his ordeal from Dali.
Titled “Who Killed The Parent Bird”, the first half of episode five is a challenge to watch, and Migi’s bizarre ordeal is amplified by the show’s horror-themed music. However, the plot finally gets entertaining in the second half, where the brothers collude to find out who in the Ichijo family might have murdered their mother. One of the boy’s dresses up as their dead mom and they spook each member of the Ichijo family, their reactions giving Migi to Dali ample clues about their mother’s connection to the wealthy household and who is most likely to be the guilty party. Their modus-operandi is both smart and comical, providing some much needed funny moments in the edition.
Unevenly paced, the episode, however, significantly pushed the plot forward and builds anticipation over how Migi and Dali will go forward with their investigation to prove their mother was murdered and that the Ichijo family had something to do with it.
