Krysa Aug 13 2014 1:08 am Everything is excellent in this drama, especially interesting clients and their stories. But there is one thing I can not understand - why do we need to look at and listen about someone´s boobs in every episode? What is so special about them?

Shiho May 19 2014 10:04 am When I watch the drama I thought its kind of similar with Mahoro Eki Mae Bangaichi, the difference is only this one is about detective and the others is about a small business which does odd jobs. But both quite interesting though.

Thandy May 07 2014 9:19 pm I really like this drama, which it was it was longer. I also really love the music they use in it too.

zoko Jan 03 2014 8:28 am I wish this series will be longer than the usual 12 episodes... There's quite a lot of good japanese titles but for some unknown to me reason they always make them hell to short... And that's sad...
