Based on the comic with the same title by Ichijo Yukari, “Yukan Club” was aired over NTV in Japan during the last quarter of 2007 and won the Best Drama Award in the 13th Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix.
This is a typical Gakuen (school) drama like “Meteor Garden” ,“Devil Beside You” and “Hana Kimi” but this time it’s a bunch of affluent high school students who solve crimes as their past time. Their mantra is: “Turning impossibility to possibility.”
I must admit, there are some scenes here that I find dragging but there are parts where I rolled over laughing. I love the character of Kenbushi Yuri played by Minami because she is so wacky while on the guys, I find Yokoyuma Yu who portrayed Kikumasamune Seishiro cute.
But what really drawn me to this series is Mike He (Taiwanese Male Idol) who guested in episode 7 as a royalty. Aside from being his big fan, I was also curious how he would speak in Nihonggo. In the story, he was teamed-up with the Suzuki Emi’s character--Kizakura Karen--who has this dream of marrying into a rich family using her attractive body and style. For a beginner in a new language, I admire Mike’s boldness in accepting this offer and he nailed it.
Overall, the series is still worth watching because of its humor. Xiao Mei is just an added treat, especially to his fans.
