My Lovely Yokai Girlfriend

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.

"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!

The fantasy story is most intriguing, hoping for Season 2 @ Amazon!

Very much enjoyed the show. Well made. Characters were interesting and portrayed excellently by a good cast.

Lead actress Ai Yoshikawa is young but very talented.

I rarely see Japanese shows, only saw one before this but am fully aware of the talent and production quality from Japan - and this show lives up to their reputation. It is not meant to be serious, but fun, easy flow through a good fantasy story. You don't feel hurried and are always left wanting more. I felt the male lead was too quirky but that may be part character part cultural.

Overall very enjoyable and fun.

Enjoy.

Absolutely great, loved the story line, the lighthearted characters and everything around it. This is a great tv show to watch to relax, it is not super romantic, it had a little bit of comedy and thriller and everything really. We loved it!

The characters were developed masterfully, you know everything about them at a perfect timing, you learn to love all of them and getting to know their storyline throughout the drama.

I really hope there is a season 2 because it left some open threads that seems to be really Interesting for an upcoming season.

Soundtrack is also great, I haven't seen something like this in a while, absolutely loved it!

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!
