Café Minamdang

A team of shaman, hacker and a former cop/detective. These three will get the job done for their customers. Not so strangely, they are famous for solving criminal cases. The customers are happy and hence the cafe being quite a popular place.

Although the premise is very interesting, the writing of this show lacks research and details. Almost to the point that it drags down the fun parts too. If you are seeking a plot driven show, this is not for you. It's there in bits and pieces. So my two points go to lack of research on characters and uneven plot line.

Other than that, I am quite enjoying the actors as they all bring something unique and their own craziness. The OSTs are above average.

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.

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.

A lot of things don't make sense and that is why it's funny. You can't watch this with your normal POV.

This is just an pleasant enjoyable drama series for people who just want some fun with a little bit thriller at the end.

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.
