Atsushi an agent from Masuyama psychic bureau frequents a food stall because of a girl named Aoba. She works in the food stall and Atsushi eats his meals from there. Masuyama psychic office investigates a kidnapping case at present and that case is somehow connected to Aoba. Watch the movie to find out more.

The Bureau uses psychic powers plus logic to solve the cases. The story is predictable but it still managed to keep my interest till the end. It also has the sweet love story of Atsushi and Aoba entangled in a kidnapping case.

Make sure to keep your popcorn or whatever snacks you eat while watching this as this will make you hungry. Why? Because there are plenty of scenes of Atsushi eating Aoba's tasty meals and fried chicken. So to satisfy your taste buds, it is highly recommended to prepare a snack of your choice before watching.

Actors were ok. Nothing commendable comes to my mind right now.

Music was nothing extra ordinary.

Give this movie a try on a lazy weekend if you find psychic stories amusing.

Shinyou academy students die and one student is investigating this murder mystery - determined to catch the monster behind these murders.

You need to pay attention to the interludes to understand the whole story. That's what connects the whole story.

Eventhough it is a heavy theme for a high-school story , those who played the parts of Boogie pop, Manticore, Echoes, Nakao, Saotomekun, Nagi - all did their parts well.

Music was spooky enough but not satisfying for a spooky scene. The whistle seemed like a pleasant note which was ok - I liked the whistle tune. May be lighting adjustments also would have made some scenes more spookier.

I would have made the music a bit more spookier especially whenever the monster was about to devour its prey. It would have brought out the desired full fledged effect.

I liked the ending. You should definitely give this a try if you want to watch a bit out of the ordinary stuff.

The adventures of Robin Hood Iljimae while he sets out to avenge his father's death is portrayed in this drama. He robs noble family houses not only for money but also to find the sword that killed his father.

I watched this drama for Lee joonki. Iljimae played by Lee joonki is awesome. Shi woo, Eun chae, yeppun danee, seo dol, ajik gang - all those supported Iljimae did their parts well. Byun sjik's funny moments especially while criticizing his daughter being leader of beggar sect(lol) - enjoyed it very well.

Loved the ending song in the last episode.

Will Iljimae be able to find his remaining family members who went into hiding after his father's death? Will he be able to find his father's murderer? Watch the drama to find out.

Childhood sweethearts cum fellow disciples Sun li and Jing ke gets separated when the Qin emperor hunts down the beautiful Sun li and makes her his concubine. The power struggle of the harem and the palace politics are also the main themes apart from the Qin emperor 's ambition and effort in unifying all states into one.

Dilaraba played the part of concubine Sun li beautifully. The ruthless emperor Ying Zheng played by Zhang bin bin , Jing Ke played by Liu Chang (found him smoking hot) , the sweet gentle eldest senior Han shen who supports Sun li in all her decisions played by Li Tian - all were awesome.

Loved the title and ending songs.

I watched till episode 14, put it on hold for months because I found the story dragging and boring. After a few months, I watched the remaining episodes and thought would put it on hold if I found it dragging. But from episode 15, I watched it non stop and even if the story gets dragging a bit somewhere in 30s episodes and in early 40s episodes, I completed all 48 episodes. What this means is story is predictable in between but it was not boring enough to put it on hold for me, hence I was able to complete all 48 episodes.

Will Sun li be able to survive the power struggle and politics of harem and the Palace? Will she be able to assist the Qin emperor Ying Zheng in his ambition in unifying the states? Will she fall for the emperor or is her heart still with Jing ke? Will Ying Zheng love Sun li's baby as his own or the baby just a means to keep Sun li by his side? Watch the drama to find out.

This drama gives a glimpse into idol life. It is a slice of life and a bit of romcom together. After getting selected by the agencies how the life of trainees are - this is showcased in this drama perfectly. The story is told from the angle of their Manager.

An ex idol trainee who ends up as a kpop boy group manager - can see the future. Can she use this power to her advantage? Is it a boon or curse? Watch the drama to find out. As a manager how she handles the situations faced by the band is portrayed here.

What goes on in those agencies where they recruit trainees and idols? If you are curious to know that, then watch this drama. This also shows the life of other staff at Entertainment agencies - especially the managers of idols and how busy they can get.

This shows the ups and downs in traineeife, the busier life of entertainment agency staff, the idol life behind the scenes etc etc.

Overall a different, realistic storyline as far as K dramas are concerned.

If you are a kpop fan, then this is a must watch to know behind the scenes of kpop life.

I had fun watching how Yamada Kun find out about the witches. It is entertaining and surprisingly witty.

8 Episodes are enough, it just made this drama crisp and to the point. Not dragging at all. Every character had a serious role to play and no unwanted or extra characters in this drama.

If you are a drama fanatic and looking for something different than your usual romcom, then this is for you. It has high-school romance, supernatural stuff, comedy and a bit of action too.

In my opinion this drama has it all and it is worth your time. I have not watched the anime version of this. Hence, I kind of am not able to compare how good or bad this drama is compared to the anime.

But I can tell you one thing, this drama is worth your time. Go give this a try!

The storyline of this drama is not a very practical one, but a funny kawaii one. This is a kawaii version of noona lovestory.

It is kind of like an unexpected rom com. I am stressing the unexpected here because I really liked how the story developed into both of them realising what they feel for each other.

I always like to watch the original version first, hence gave this 2003 version a try.

There are a lot of funny and cute moments in this drama. The ending might surprise you, make you feel happy, uninterested or plain I did not expect this (In a good or bad way) depending on your expectation.

I liked the ending because I was hoping for the worst scenario and had literally postponed the ending for more than 30 days. But when I finally watched it, I loved it!

Not too many episodes, 10 episodes are just perfect or else you might feel this being a bit draggy.

I have not watched the 2017 version, and whatever I saw in this 2003 version, I liked it. If you are going to watch it after watching the 2017 version, guess your experience will be different.

Overall it is a good drama and should be on your watch list if you are into noona love kind of stuff.

The Queen of the country gives birth to twins(a prince and a princess), but they are born with a curse. The cause of their birth and curse is a shamen. The shamen says the princess should be sacrificed for the curse to end. They try to kill the princess but taoist monks' head rescues her. She is isolated from the world and the shamen and kept in the black forest. The head monk's son wows to protect the princess. Will she be able to overcome the curse which befalls on her and the royal family?Meanwhile a guy named heo joon passes through the black forest, enters princess's hide out and falls in love with her. The head monk's son, The head of the taoist monks himself, Heo Joon and the princess seo ri try their best to end the curse without much damage. Found it interesting till the end. In my opinion, Seo Ri looks more like an innocent 13-14 year old child than a 17 year old princess.

A must watch J-Drama for suspense drama lovers. A home room teacher who takes his students as hostages to uncover the truth behind the suicide of one his students - this situation is the main theme of the drama. He makes each of his student realise their part in Raeina's death.

Was it really a suicide or was it a murder? Our homeroom teacher Hiragi managed to keep us on our toes from start to finish. Suda Masaki portrayed Hiragi Ibuki very realistically. Not a boring moment in this drama. This drama also shows the importance of social media and addresses the issue of cyber bullying which is very relevant in today's society.

The characters I liked the best are - The some what narcissistic Takechi Sensei, detectives Gunji, Miyagi, Igarashi, Students Hayato(played by Ryota of Generations from Exile tribe), Usami, Ishikura, Hana, Satomi, Sakura etc... Ryota deserves a special mention because even though he is from JPop industry, he was not self conscious and played Hayato pretty naturally and beautifully.

I would have wanted a different ending but then again the ending the writer chose is also a good one. Music is cool and suits the mood of this drama.

Bookmark it and watch this on your free time, you won't regret it - especially suspense drama lovers!

Liked the story , guess 12 and 13 episodes were a bit dragging, other than that, i liked it. Gong shill can see ghosts and only Joon won can give her the mental peace she badly is in need of. Together they attend to the requests of ghosts and Joong won manages to get some good business deals in between. How they do it is the real interesting part in this drama. I watched it twice. Love it! Good story, good plot and good ending!

If u like murder mysteries n stuff, then this is the drama for you, I loved it from the beginning to end. No dragging, it keeps you on your toes all the time! 2 detectives from different times communicate through a walkie talkie to solve unsolved crimes of Korea. For me this drama was mysterious and interesting.
But the end, is it really the end? It is as if you have watched something only half.. the ending leaves you waiting for more!
