My Lovely Yokai Girlfriend

The female lead did a great job. The male lead was unwatchable and definitely horribly cast. This had a real chance of being good. If it wasn't for him. It could have been the writing of his character and not him, but that's hard to know. I definitely would not recommend this. It's really not worth watching at all because of how bad he is. There's some other plots that aren't very good but he destroys the whole thing. I wish they would have hired somebody else so we could see how good it would have been so far. They're looking like there's a season two, but as far as I know there's not. Since Amazon did this I should have known it wasn't worth watching. If you start this I would suggest not finishing it.

"Boku no Itoshii Youkai Girlfriend or My Undead Yokai Girlfriend" on Amazon Prime is an absolute gem of a J-Drama that had me hooked from the first episode to the last! As a fan of Japanese folklore, J-Dramas and quirky love stories, this show hit all the right notes for me.

I couldn't get enough of the captivating storyline, where our lonely college student, Tadashi, and the Yokai girl, Izzy, form an unexpected bond through magic. The blend of supernatural elements with human emotions kept me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating each twist and turn. I binged the whole show in one night!

The cast's performances were outstanding, with each actor bringing their character to life in a way that made me feel fully immersed in their world. Actress Ai Yoshikawa played her role beautifully and I found myself rooting for Tadashi and Izzy's relationship, while also eagerly awaiting the revelation of Izzy's true intentions.

Sure, the ending felt a bit rushed, but that just left me hungry for more! I'm already counting down the days until a second season is announced (Fingers Crossed). "My Undead Yokai Girlfriend" is a must-watch for anyone who loves enchanting tales of love, mystery, and magic. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Really looking forward to the sequel, I hope there are no murders or people dying in vain, and more slice of life moments that are funny and entertaining.

I like Izzy's innocent and very cute appearance when facing contemporary Japanese life.

Who knows who the bad guy is actually doesn't really matter, because the attraction of this series is the romantic relationships. The many interests and points of view make it feel complicated and difficult to determine whose side the audience should side with.

Some unimportant characters somehow have to be sacrificed and die without making significant story developments. I'd rather have them stay alive and experience character development. For example, a character with the ability to change shape. It appeared very quickly, and then suddenly it had to end.

I'm really looking forward to the continuation of the story and hopefully Izzy and Tadashi can often have their happy moments.

A quite new series of films. It not only captures the traditional beauty of Japan but also blends reality with mythology in a harmonious way. The actors have given their all in their roles.

Most Japanese films have unpredictable plot twists, creating one surprise after another. While watching, I went from one mood to another. Sometimes it's really funny, but it also contains many incredibly touching moments.

Thus, I was impressed by the lead actress, Ai Yoshikawa. I really admire her and all the dramas she has starred in are excellent. Amazon has invested heavily in visual effects, and I'm really looking forward to the second season of this series too.

This show is so great. It's super fun and strikes a great tone - it's funny and light but still grounded. It's also got a mystery included and a well thought out mythological background.

The show follows college student Tadashi (Hachi) as he navigates his college life after he accidentally summons a Yokai (a Japanese demon) to be his girlfriend. It's a fun pairing that lends itself to lots of comedic moments since he's a shy gamer and the Yokai (Izzy) is a confident warrior. The acting is super charming, all the actors do an excellent job, especially Sano Hayato (Hachi) and Yoshikawa Ai (Izzy). I hope it gets a second season. More of this, please!
