Cafe Minamdang

Let me start by saying that this movie was indeed entertaining. How entertaining it will be to you, depends on your tastes in comedy.

The acting is described as poor, over the top and cheesy, by many but this is a slapstick style comedy so you need to expect a lot of stupid stuff and seemingly bad acting from the actors.

I think they all did a fine job of it. The story, itself, is fun to follow along.

It only gets an 8 from me though because this is the one that officially ended my crush on Seo In-Guk. He totally captivated me in Doom at Your Service and was so-so on other shows but this time, I realized that Doom made his name and it ended there for me. He's not the A-Lister I thought he would be and has been downgraded to a B, at least by me.

Don't take this to mean I don't like him as an actor anymore because I do. He's quite versatile but he's just not "hot" or a "must watch" when it comes to romance and that's pretty much what I liked about him, in the first place.

To recap, this is a silly comedy, with plenty of action and mystery to keep it interesting. If you don't like slapstick, then you won't enjoy this one.

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.

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.

A detective who was imprisoned for a year after being framed sets himself up as a Shaman to catch the serial killer who murdered his friend. Along the way he becomes involved with his murdered friends sister who has become a detective to catch the same killer. I have been quite generous with a seven as it starts well and ends well but is way too long at eighteen episodes. The script overall is poor and their is no real chemistry between the leads, the actors all do an ok job with what they have to work with. The idea had promise but sadly if you watch it you may be fast forwarding a lot to see if the killer is caught.

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.
