This is the most unorthodox detective drama I have ever seen! Yes, I said "detective drama". And no, that is not a mistake.

The people in a tourism company need to think of their clients first which, considering they are not psychics, is the closest thing to a detective I have ever thought of. Thinking of an itinerary, planning out special local areas to visit, where to eat, where to sleep, how to save money, where to shop, not to mention the best way to cultivate treasured memories... Doesn't that sound like detective work?

In this drama, I laughed and cried with each episode and each actor/actress made their character come alive while touring through Kyoto. While the drama is fictional, it was amazing to see inside the profession of a tour guide in Japan; how everything was put together, problems were solved, places to visit, etc... It also gave me a new view of a couple of my favorite actors, which is always a wonderful thing!

This drama is a fantastic story and definitely not one to be missed. Especially if you enjoy Japan for more than it's pop culture.
