1. Makes me want to watch Trick [Rating: 7/10]
I actually like that all 7 eps I have seen so far have the same plot. It's a light mystery, and I can usually solve it as I go along. The actors are fun. The main problem is that it is sooo unbelievable. The characters aren't detectives or anything, yet they find themselves in mysteries every single weekend.

2. Silly and repetitive [Rating: 2/10]
I was interested bcoz of the actors but each episode follows the same old routine which gets tiring real fast. I just watched so I could finish it.. although it was more a waste of time U_U

3. Satomi Fans Will Enjoy, Others Questionable [Rating: 5/10]
For someone who has watched Trick 1-3, this drama just wasn't up to par. This drama lacked a solid plot, the characters were very shallow, and there was too much randomness going around. In fact, if you watched any episode in a random order, the story would still be the same. Its the same repetitive story of her following students to get a treasure/prize after solving a word puzzle every time but faces someone always trying to kill everyone off. I would recommend watching Trick if this is your type of drama, but for all others please stay away because this drama is really a puzzle to watch.

Turned out to be very interesting!

Was not expecting anything out of it really but really liked it. It's a good mystery show with some funny moments.

I recommend it for people who like mysteries, especially since every episode is a stand alone.

five years after the well known TRICK series, TV Asahi retake the same mistery plots in small villages. But Trick was better.

Watching... On Episode 4

Funny but every episode was pretty much the same thing. That could have been okay, but it wasn't strong enough. Not a total waste of time at least.
7. Comments by Susan [Rating: 9/10]
I really enjoyed this drama and its cast. Yamamoto Yusuke was brilliant and cute as always, but Ishihara Satomi really surprised me. She pulled off the role of greedy, two-faced Ayukawa really well. I kept expecting some kind of big arc to begin and take place over the course of the series, but every episode was a one-shot. I really enjoyed that but because of the episodic nature of the show there was absolutely no character development! That and the sometimes too simplistic mysteries were the only disappointing aspects of the series. Otherwise it was really funny and interesting! I hope they make a sequel of some kind!

Cheesy and stupid. Looks like any other comedy detective drama and not in a good way.
