I really enjoyed this drama. The first three episodes are a bit repetitive but the drama gets better as it goes on so I would recommend to keep at it.
The heiress / butler relationship is hilarious and very different from what I have seen in other dramas.
On the whole a good drama to watch to relax and have fun.

Detective drama? Check.
Funny? Check.
Hints of playful romance? Check.
Mystery and flashy meat? Check.

The beginning may seem a bit repetitive, but it'll eventually grow on you. Don't expect something of Poirot's caliber, but it's just the right mix of small things we tend to love in dramas. Recommended.

Being an avid fan of suspenseful detective dramas filled with mystery and suspense, (ok I just used the same word twice) this drama is not exactly my cup of tea. This drama treats the detective genre like a comedy, and while Sakurai Sho is delivering his part well, Keiko Kitagawa was rather... blah. Sure, she's pretty and looks great as an heiress, but maybe she should just stick to rom-coms. Although this drama leaves out the important parts such as the interrogations, the individual cases in each episode were well thought out and planned by the writer, especially for the final case. I loved the OP though, being a fan of Arashi XD. Well, I don't have a fantastic impression of this drama, so I would label it in my long list of dramas as a time-killer. But this is a rather fresh way of presenting a detective drama, so.. to each his own! Try it if you want to :)

My favorite genre for dramas is detective/mystery. And although this was a detective drama, it just wasnt the same. There was so much missing from actual investigations. And they figured out who the criminal was from very vague evidence. So as a detective drama, i wouldn't recommend it.

However, i did enjoy it for other reasons. The casting i thought was great. Sakurai Sho as a Butler and Kitagawa Keiko as an Heiress just goes so well. And the relationship the two have is really nice.

I also enjoyed the comedy elements to the drama. I guess that was watch kept me watching.

Overall, i did enjoy this drama and may consider rewatching it again in a few months :D

I obviously watched it because of Sho Sakurai. Detective dramas are not my priority or my fave genre but it depends on the plot/acting of the actors. I'm not that impressed in this drama though I do commend Sho Sakurai's acting here. I personally think that he and Keiko doesn't have a great chemistry here. Keiko is perfect for the role of the heiress. I love the music because the theme is from Arashi. I would watch it if I feel like it but not my top priority.

This drama is rather disappointing as this is starred by top actors yet failed to use that advantage. The story is rather repetitive and the only thing that kept me going are the mystery cases and not the main story itself. The premise, that is: a butler is rude/sadistic to her spoiled ojou-sama, could have opened a lot more side stories and conflicts which could have perked up the drama. It is really a good thing that this is mystery drama, otherwise, I really don't know what I'll say.

From the summary I was worried that the plot might be romantic more than anything (which I dont like) but I was surprised at how subtle the relationship portrayed was- it was sweet without going into the romance territory- it was more friendship than anything...however, there is enough chemistry for the romantics!

The storylines were very well thought out and kept you guessing to who the culprit would be. Sakurai Sho played his role very well- a witty yet handsome butler- who doesn't shy away from bantering with his boss, who was played by the wonderful Kitagawa Keiko- a magical combination to watch!

A must see!

I liked this drama better the second time I watched it! I first watched this show because I liked Shiina Kippei in the movie Quill, and to be honest, at first, I don't really think I noticed that Kageyama was Sakurai Sho... unfortunately. But... I am glad I watched this drama again! It's a light hearted show that kept me laughing and very intrigued to see what the cases would be about. I couldn't really guess the culprit's actions in a few episodes... the suspense isn't really big, but the twists and turns are pretty good at keeping the audience guessing, I thought. Definitely a good show to watch if you like Sakurai Sho and Shiina Kippei!

..LET US SAVE THE REVEAL..

..whew, this series, for me, since I do love mystery/detective drama - it's a mix of different series like Mop Girl (which Keiko is the main role), Nemesis (Sho as on his main role too), and Fugou Keiji (Kyoko Fukada)..
.
..also, I do love the comedic scene from time to time which always fit from these two casts, plus the idiotic (sorry for the term) act of Kazamatsuri..
.
..but on the solving part, well yeah, some of the details as what the story goes, there are some infos that I can still follow, but some were not, maybe just the opinion of the butler and the milady that made me get lost on the flow..
.
..still I love the story after all, love the tandem, perfect genre for me..
