My Undead Yokai Girlfriend

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.

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!

Creatively directed and powerfully presented by all the actors. One of the most engaging and involving japanese short dramas I have watched till date. Never got bored while watching the series, the story flows effortlessly smooth. The quality of acting displayed, especially by the two leads is just brilliant. Not for a single minute you will feel that they were acting, it is uniquely authentic. The best aspect about this series is that you can watch it from start to end in a matter of few hours. If you are looking for something new & fresh, you will surely love it. From well choreographed action scenes to hilariously funny comedy, and from sweet love story to tragic plot twists, this series has it all. Eagerly waiting for season 2.

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.

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.
