Cafe 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.

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.

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.

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.

Koreans have quite the repertoire of movie and television series.

I've been away from there for 52 years now and discovered only recently these films were available, and I've been hooked on them for a month and a half non stop. Making up the lost times. I'm more American than a Korean now but still love "K-Drama!" I am happy that the "K-Pop" bands are popular among the young adults here and abroad, global in fact! Very proud of how Korea have came into world renown now, in all things technology and automobile exports and so much more just in over fifty years. Nothing like the one I'd left in 1970. Unrecognizable! Their population increase in the fifty years also the testament to their healthcare and the economic growth! Korea is a resilient country like our country, 🇺🇸!

Oops, I've gotten off onto tangent things. Apologize.

This series is worth watching. A cute funny story to boot. Great entertainment. It's actors are well chosen for each characters, love their crazy, often unrealistic actions. As I'd stated it is "a good entertainment!" The stories on going and well developed too. The few actors are recognized from their other works and glad to see them in this series too.

Anyway, I recommend you to watch it, I think that you will be glad you did.
