Café Minamdang

A textbook K-drama filled with loads of humor, a seemingly unending mystery, the rekindled romance between the protagonists, and the much craved Korean lifestyle, it has everything. Cafe Minamdang is used as a front by a former cop, who now poses as a Shaman, and his friends in order to unravel the mysteries of a 3 year old case. The plot thickens when the killer resurfaces. The Shaman is joined by the female protagonist who is a feared cop. The duo, along with their friends, uncover secrets after secrets and finally hunt down the culprits.

It is a blend of comedy and thrill. I'd say it would be worth watching again sometime.

I like how these series show the detective character using the mystic component that is more believable for some folks to help him for solving the case. The story is fun but on the other side, this is also dark from the thriller and mystery element.

The female lead in this drama is very clumsy. She was nicknamed a ghost, which made me think, "Oh she must be a smart cop and it's really hard to trick her." But she's just an obsessive and stubborn girl. She doesn't have a strong instinct in handling cases, she always fails to find valid evidence that can arrest suspects. For example, in episode 12, when she gets into Gu Tae-su's camping van, she doesn't even pay close attention to her surroundings. She enters without seeing there is cctv near the van door. That's so reckless. Then her nickname as a ghost is also too much. She is a troublesome girl.

Koreans have quite the repertoire of movie and television series.

I've been away from there for 52 years now and discovered only recently these films were available, and I've been hooked on them for a month and a half non stop. Making up the lost times. I'm more American than a Korean now but still love "K-Drama!" I am happy that the "K-Pop" bands are popular among the young adults here and abroad, global in fact! Very proud of how Korea have came into world renown now, in all things technology and automobile exports and so much more just in over fifty years. Nothing like the one I'd left in 1970. Unrecognizable! Their population increase in the fifty years also the testament to their healthcare and the economic growth! Korea is a resilient country like our country, 🇺🇸!

Oops, I've gotten off onto tangent things. Apologize.

This series is worth watching. A cute funny story to boot. Great entertainment. It's actors are well chosen for each characters, love their crazy, often unrealistic actions. As I'd stated it is "a good entertainment!" The stories on going and well developed too. The few actors are recognized from their other works and glad to see them in this series too.

Anyway, I recommend you to watch it, I think that you will be glad you did.

So much fun & interesting drama. It is so funny and Seo In Guk's acting is amazing and versatile, love his facial expression. A combination of comedy and action and crime makes this drama is very fun to watch. It's getting better and better each new episode.
