Boku no Itoshii Youkai Girlfriend

"Boku no Itoshii Youkai Girlfriend or My Undead Yokai Girlfriend" on Amazon Prime is an absolute gem of a J-Drama that had me hooked from the first episode to the last! As a fan of Japanese folklore, J-Dramas and quirky love stories, this show hit all the right notes for me.

I couldn't get enough of the captivating storyline, where our lonely college student, Tadashi, and the Yokai girl, Izzy, form an unexpected bond through magic. The blend of supernatural elements with human emotions kept me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating each twist and turn. I binged the whole show in one night!

The cast's performances were outstanding, with each actor bringing their character to life in a way that made me feel fully immersed in their world. Actress Ai Yoshikawa played her role beautifully and I found myself rooting for Tadashi and Izzy's relationship, while also eagerly awaiting the revelation of Izzy's true intentions.

Sure, the ending felt a bit rushed, but that just left me hungry for more! I'm already counting down the days until a second season is announced (Fingers Crossed). "My Undead Yokai Girlfriend" is a must-watch for anyone who loves enchanting tales of love, mystery, and magic. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

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.

Absolutely great, loved the story line, the lighthearted characters and everything around it. This is a great tv show to watch to relax, it is not super romantic, it had a little bit of comedy and thriller and everything really. We loved it!

The characters were developed masterfully, you know everything about them at a perfect timing, you learn to love all of them and getting to know their storyline throughout the drama.

I really hope there is a season 2 because it left some open threads that seems to be really Interesting for an upcoming season.

Soundtrack is also great, I haven't seen something like this in a while, absolutely loved it!

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.
