Reviews

If I remember correctly, this was one of my first dramas EVER (I got into jdrama before kdrama). I watched it after I watched the anime and I remember being addicted and really impressed.

The story line was nothing much and but it was entertaining and should be because the screenwriters have the manga/anime to reference as well as plenty of time to cover material (unlike a movie). You can really tell that it was based on an anime and although some people might think it's cheesy, I love it. Ten episodes went by really quick and every episode was great. I love how the romance was boosted in this version!

The acting and the cast was probably the best part of this series. Oomasa Aya did an exceptional job with the character Sunako. No complaints from me because she stayed true to character and I can't imagine another Japanese actress pull off this Sunako's err... unique personality :P. Of course, Kamenashi Kazuya is such a great actor and obviously he could pull off an amazing Kyohei, looks wise as well :3

As for music, I only remember the theme song that I was obsessed with for weeks. Kat-tun was my first jpop group and this was before I even found out kpop (or even drama) existed (i found out a couple months afterwards, thank goodness). Love Yourself~~ People thought it was kinda creepy hehe, but it was my jam *plays it right now*.

I'll probably be watching it again soon because it's just so fun. I love live adaptation of anime/manga for this very reason.

Story-
The story and plot line of the show was one of the best I've seen in korean dramas, and the reason I say it is because I preferred more historical dramas and You're all surrounded was the first modern drama that I could say I completely loved it all. There is a lot of romance, comedy, and the most important element mystery. The mystery was by far the best thing in the series, I was always trying to figure out what exactly was going to happen next and you could see connecting dots trying to figure out who was behind the crime and all. The romance was adorable and and filled even with comedy considering two characters that didn't like each other ended up having the same type of girl problems. What really struck me more than anything else was the friendship that was built by the four detectives along with their mentors that slowly became more like family.

Acting/ Cast-
The acting of the main cast was not one of the best but it was truly amazing, because you could feel the family love between them and actually believe it! While some were better than others in the parts where they had to act dramatic, they were all equally amazing when it came to anything related to comedy. My favorites were when the most serious character was doing something was completely not in his personality. The romantic chemistry between the two main characters is cute, funny, and at the same time it has the perfect pace because it doesn't start out being too fast like, "I see you and I fell in love with you" but at the same time it doesn't go so slow that you would say, "seriously it took 40 episodes just for them to kiss?!"

Music-
The music while not the best and my favorite thing about the show was still on a pretty good level considering the type of show it was. It made the scenes come even more to life be it when they were investigating or when they were having fun. It also made my just be so happy whenever it played with the main couple on screen because it just made the romance chemistry between them even better. It made me want to jump in and be a part of the show.

Rewatch Value-
Normally, I'm the type that can rematch movies not an entire series, but this series is actually the first that I have ever come across that has actually made me want to see it all over again. In fact just talking about it right now is making me want to watch it again!

Although I watch a heck lot of romantic comedies, one of my favourite genres is mystery- be it video games or dramas. Plot twists and suspense are the things that keep you stuck to this one even though it's not the best written drama out there.

The story was interesting. We have a series of events that lead up to a dramatic conclusion. The story is what kept this drama alive so I definitely give this category the highest rating. Of course, if you're here for romance, you won't be getting much even though mydramalist tagged that genre. It a refreshing drama to watch after watching too many kdrama, thats for sure haha.

The acting and casting was pretty nice. I actually watched for Tsubasa Honda after watching her in Ao Haru Ride and I definitely sparked an interest in Nakayama Yuma while watching! However, I could not feel any attachment to them. I wish Hikaru got a bit of character development throughout the series. I mean what's the point of revealing his strange past, if you're not going to change anything about him. A SEASON 2 WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. For reals, there is a lot of work to do on these two leads and that somewhat open ending. (I will direct it if you are desperate Japan XD)

Loved the intro and the ending theme (both by Nakayama Yuma) was my favourite. It just has that Japanese feeling that I've missed. I even felt a bit nostalgic because it kinda sounds similar to Planetarium that was in Hana Yori Dango which I watched such a long time ago and LOVED LOVED LOVED. (Sorry for getting off topic and probably not even making sense :O )

I won't be re watching this one anytime soon. It's no fun watching mystery when you already know what's gonna happen.

Overall, it was a nice watch. It had an interesting story line and the chemistry between the leads was nice. A short series that you can finish in a couple days if you're anything like me (a binge watcher).

Story:
Each episodes deal with different violations of labor standards and how Danda Rin and her colleagues would deal with it. The show tackles serious issues but the comic nature of it is what makes every episodes interesting. The non work-related chats in the office and the meetings are hilarious. Still, with that said, it manages to maintain the social relevance of the story.

Casts:
Takeuchi Yuko did an amazing job as the overly strict labor standards officer Danda Rin. Kitamura Kazuki is also noteworthy as section chief Doteyama (one of the best bosses in jdrama imo). The supporting casts and guests also did well. Fortunately, no overacting here.

Music:
The music fits well as it emphasizes the comic/superhero vibe of the show.

Rewatch value:
Totally rewatchable.

I highly recommend this drama to everyone.

I am very critical on plot aspects. They have to be logical and clever and in best case, unpredictable.

And so it was. There were two twists I had not see coming, which was really great.

The fact, that the main character can read minds plays a minor aspect in the whole story arch, which is actually nice. But you feel for him and his pains and cheer him on.

All the main characters are not as cliché as one would expect, therefore quite refreshing. And the actors are really great.

It is a great show, quite outstanding with an original idea. It really is one of the best I have seen so far.

This is the only drama so far that got 10 points from me in every aspect.

Oh boy, it was SO.FREAKING.GOOD.

The story was good. It had deeper aspects and good development.
The background story was emotional and dramatic and had thriller aspects going.
The characters were all very individual and somewhat outside of the box, which was great.
Even the supporting roles were diamonds by themselves.
The cast was outstanding. It was like they really, really, really WERE these characters, it fitted them
perfectly.
The love story was exactly the right amount of, well, love story.
The music was amazing, too.

I do not have a single critical aspect on this show, and that has never happened before or after.

It is entertaining, thrilling, romantic, funny, has action and is believable.

You are simply insane if you miss on this.

This was GOOD.

I never watched such a long drama before, AND it was my first historical one.
And I really loved it.

It was very accurate - from the costumes to the very strategic and clever plot - all done very well.

For me, it is important that plot and characters do behave/develope realistically/logical, and this drama delivered.

It even got me hooked on historical dramas and the real history of Joseon/Goryeo and now I am well
informed about the history of Korea :)

The king of Goryeo here was written and played so well, that he is one of my favourite characters I have ever seen in Asian Dramas.

So, if you like clever stories and lack of comeday doesn't bother you, then try this. It is awesome.

For me, there are really few dramas out there, where I do not skip a scene here and there, just because I find the whole plot too long and just want to watch the "interesting" parts straight away.

Watching this drama, I did not skip a single scene. The whole series was enjoyable and kept me entertained all the while.

There are so many adorable scenes and moments, you wouldn't want to miss them.

It is an uplifting drama with high entertainment value and superb actors.
And it might be one of the very, very, very few that I will rewatch.

So - watch it and have fun :)

I liked tha main characters (Kang Hee & Ji Sung), but in my point of view Jae Joong didn't perform very well. I think if the director had admited another actor it could be greater, because the story was actually OK.

Except because of this con, I recommend it; because the story and the main couple is OK.

I'm making this review of my point of view. I expected quite a lot of this drama because of Ji Sung, but the perfomance of Jae Joong was weak. Sometimes I was going to drop the drama, but I didn't because of the story.

P.S. I'm not a hater or something like this towards Jae Joong.

I'm not English so please if i made some mistakes don't beat me ^^
So,you can see this drama very quickly because it only have ep of 1 min each; I think that this dramas is very funny because some objects are from nowadays in Joseon's era, personally, that thing disturb me a lot but in a positive way; I think it's a very interessant idear and i hope someone will pick this idear to make a full-lenght dramas. The actors are very good it's a kind of "cameo" and they are very serious that's why i find that this casting is very well made. The music is very simple like in every Cf. So, i will not rewatch this dramas but i recommand it! ^^
