It is typical romantic story, though the comparison to Cinderella is nice fairy element. At the beginning, the fates of Xin Yi and Cun Xi weren't very absorb, but then, when the story is more complicated and Xin Yi goes to Shanghai I've strated watching carefully. I admire Xin Yi's angelic patience to Mr. Ji nad his childish games.

The main character's thread isn't the only one. I love supporting chracters! All Chen family and grandma Wang Zhen Zhu should be noticed! What is more, I'm a fan of 'Father' Dylan eyes, though his style isn't good.

The last episode is incredible. I didn't know that the end will be so intricate.

And these final notes... hah...Asian Lassie xD

I honestly say that Liar Game 2 Season2 isn't worse then the first part. Both are on good level. Unpredictability, tension, misterious rival Shinichi and Fukunaga without a sense of style.

Nao gives me a headache again. I though she learnt life a little if she started cheating too, but nooo....

I miss Yokoya... he was such a curious human. Katsuragi Ryou can't replace him. In my point of view, the confrontation between her and Shinichi was just unfair, because the main character was using the BRAIN, but she was winning only thanks to MONEY. I know - Liar Game, however, she could be lost without cash.

Hmm.. this season is strangely divided. There aren't the final stage, but we need to watch the movie. Really, they could make just one story.

This film is wonderful. I'm delighted in the story. The beginning is calm and shy. It was very suspicious, but I didn't suppose that fate. I'm glad that the action is concetrated on Mika, who was abandoned. It's very fresh, because they often show suffering of patient.

What is more... the movie is typical school story and I like watching simple life so much too. Aww... and these beautiful uniforms...! How the Japanese look so good wearing it... Hmm.. and these love. The beautiful, clear love.

As to acting... they were ok. I was laughing and crying when the characters. I'm sure I will rewatch it someday.

This drama was recommended to me by a "kindred spirit" and now I'm wondering why I haven't watched it any sooner.

I was captivated on minute 1 and enjoyed the whole ride till the very last.



The true strength of this show lies in the characterization. I love the speedy way in which each character is introduced, without unnecessary premises: the viewer is immediately catapulted into the birth of this new police division and the methods which are going to be used by the team to solve each case.

The staff members come to life so swiftly and clearly, I was eager to see the next episode just in order to hear them interact with each other. They are hilarious, over the line like any true Japanese character and yet so believable and endearing.

And then there is their BOSS. Yuki Amami is a wonder here. She's determined, beautiful, self-ironic, tremendously intelligent. The kind of woman I'd like to be at forty - honestly, if I could only look like her at 44 I'd be the happiest woman on earth.

Her character is a riot and a model of what I call class.



This is an episode drama, therefore it can be viewed either in one raw or taking time between one episode and the next. I did a marathon because each case left me wanting for more, but there isn't a main sub-plot which requires steadfastness.



I liked the music too: it isn't an unforgettable original soundtrack, but it highlights the scenes with due pathos.



If you're looking for a clever detective story, with some profiling/psychology, lovable, funny characters and intriguing crimes, watch this.
