WOW I watched it so fast!
If I started watching it earlier I could finish it in one day! But I did in 2 day! The first day didn't count because only watched the opening! ^^
I said before I'm not into Japanese dramas! And my mind won't change!
Maybe gonna watch a couple of it, but not gonna watch all dramas!
Like I almost do from the countries Taiwan & Singapore!
Anyway I love this drama!!
It's so funny! LMAO
So love the cases and when they solving it!
I was happy that every EP is one case
Not too long and not to short!
There are always real true friends ready for u when u got troubles!
Friendship is the most important!
I agree with Fiona! Jin is so hot!
Although I like Yu Yokoyama more!
Jin's action! Yu's mind! ^^
Junnosuke Taguchi looks so gay with his blond/gold hair!
And Keiichiro Koyama from EP 6 is so cute! ^^
There are actually a couple of familiar name between the cast!
Mike Hee [EP7], The hot boy from Taiwan! I didn't know he got a guest starring! Actually did he talk by his self or its a voice over?
Supporting Actress Minami, Yuri, She was in BR! My favo movie! Although she doesn't look like!

Memorable & Funny Scene:

- When they solving cases and Seishiro got the mind :p
- Yuri = Food, Karen = Men with money and Bido = Women!!
- When Bido doing that sign with his hair! Sometimes very irritating but O So FUNNY!
- They got nothing but Noriko & Seishiro, but there is an ambiance between them!
Only too bad no real romance
- EP 1: The dance competition LMAO
- EP 4: 70 years old GF! Funny but also creepy!
