| 1. | Comments by aleen84 [Rating: 6/10] the cases in this series was taken from the manga just less dramatic. think those who loves kinki kids will love this. |
| 2. | Comments by yanjun [Rating: ?/10] BERY NICE.. |
| 3. | Comments by smlpotatoes [Rating: 8/10] This show was really fun. I've never seen the first two series, and I know a lot of people prefer the original cast. But this cast did a good job. The show is more involved with solving the bizarre, often bloody murders than it is with developing the relationship between Kindaichi and Miyuki. Which to me, is a plus. But there are enough humorous asides and sweet moments to keep the romantic viewer satisfied. |
| 4. | Comments by DDT [Rating: 8/10] New cast gives new look and feel to this drama. Started watching Jap Dramas with the original Kindaichi (Domoto). Story and twist are still good in this new version. |
| 5. | Comments by emiko [Rating: 9/10] Superb... I could have rate it 10/10 if not becoz MatsuJun's acting skills which is kinda poor in this drama.. But now he's my fav artist -_-; |
| 6. | Comments by eien [Rating: 10/10] kindaichi manga is already good but dorama is better |
| 7. | Comments by zealous [Rating: 8/10] best |
| 8. | Comments by arashinokoto [Rating: 8/10] i liked it better than the first series with tsuyoshi probably because i like matsujun.. he's really cute as kindaichi.. an-chan was great as miyuki.. many actors cameo in this series.. |
| 9. | Comments by princess [Rating: 8/10] This drama is good, but i like Kindaichi II much more. Although this one has much nicer effects and the scenery is much more sharp than Kindaichi I and II. I quite liked the ending, quite sweet and it was sorta of predictable too.
But the major let down is the cast. I didn't like the Miyuki in this one at all. I didn't think she protrayed the character of Miyuki very well. Person who was Kenmochi was a major let down too. I really like the Kenmochi in the Kindaichi 1 or 2 much more. He also didn't portray to character Kenmochi really well either.
MatsuJun as Kindaichi wasn't tha bad, but if compared to Tsuyoshi as Kindaichi in 1 and 2...probably.
(sidenote: wrong picture is used for this drama. MatsuJun is the Kindaichi in this one and not Tsuyoshi Domoto. ) |
| 10. | Comments by ahmel [Rating: 8/10] prefer this to the original Kindaichi. Maybe its because i prefer Suzuki Anne and Matsujun |
| 11. | Comments by rikastar [Rating: 7/10] I like the stories so this series is still good. Although I have to say, MatsuJun is not bad but still his Kindaichi can't beat Tsuyoshi's. I like Suzuki Anne's Miyuki a lot better though. |
| 12. | Comments by Lauralye76 [Rating: ?/10] Haven't start watching yet |
| 13. | Comments by ai_mae [Rating: 10/10] Interesting.... |
| 14. | Comments by iedot [Rating: 9/10] just love it! |
| 15. | Comments by we!Rd^dUcK [Rating: 10/10] dis one hold my 3rd.... cuz i rili love de story... keep me questioning n rili enjoyed matsu-jun in it... |
| 16. | Comments by joychin [Rating: 10/10] one of the best! |
| 17. | Comments by snell [Rating: 8/10] If u love detective stories, this one should be the one to catch. Although after watching 3 seasons of this series, certain parts become predictable, still enjoyed it tremedously. =) |
| 18. | Comments by Kirari Ililah [Rating: 9/10] Sexy Matsumoto Jun, this role fit him well. Loved hair, and his stupid behavior. This is a must watch for lovers of Jun or someone who still enjoys the drama, I know I'll watch it again, it's SO suspensful. |
| 19. | Comments by FierceStriker [Rating: 7/10] Interesting mysteries, though poor setup leading into the mysteries (building a sand dome, some guy crashes into it and then invites them to go home with him to see how weird his family is? what the hell?). And the new Kindaichi is obviously low on acting skills, I shutter every time he says "on my grandfather's behalf." The girl's role seems rather unnecessary, she has minimal participation, other than asking "doshite doshite." I heard that the original 2 seasons are much much better. Watch this for the mystery, not the acting. |
| 20. | Comments by dummyuser11 [Rating: 9/10] Okay, i love love love mystery dramas no matter how bad they are. But this is really quite good and interesting. I watched this in one sitting. Disc after disc without realising it. |
| 21. | Comments by £Ov3_JuN [Rating: ?/10] i love jun forever!! he is so cool ion this show..! |
| 22. | Comments by Chokoreto_Gal [Rating: 9/10] Jun Matsumoto is very KAWAIII!!! |
| 23. | Comments by AngelXing [Rating: 9/10] Okay, i love love love mystery dramas no matter how bad they are. But this is really quite good and interesting. I watched this in one sitting. Disc after disc without realising it. |
| 24. | Comments by ct_subang [Rating: 3/10] the 3rd installmt of kindaichi...id rather stick to the dohmoto version |
| 25. | Comments by blamed_love [Rating: 10/10] he is really cool and funny in this moive, all ican say is that he is really good! |
| 26. | Comments by ryce [Rating: 7/10] Interesting mysteries... but generally the series pales in comparison to the previous Kindaichi tv series. Matsumoto Jun doesn't quite portray the character of Kindaichi as well as Dohmoto Tsuyoshi. And I couldn't feel any chemistry between the new Kindaichi & Miyuki, as compared to the old pair-up. |
| 27. | Comments by enazekinaz [Rating: 6/10] the plot is quite exegeratte... but i prefer dohmoto .. but again.. matsumoto is cute |
| 28. | Comments by Kazanko [Rating: 9/10] it's quite funny^^ |
| 29. | Comments by yijing [Rating: 5/10] ok...but not as good as the pervious 2 series |
| 30. | Comments by dt [Rating: 8/10] love it...matsujun and an are just so nice...but, still not as good as kindaichi 1 & 2 |
| 31. | Comments by Hoshi [Rating: 9/10] 9 points because Matsujun cannot measure up to Domoto Tsuyoshi when it comes to acting as Kindaichi. XD Some of the episodes are pretty good, but there was a little overuse of CG here and there. The ending credits was awesome though. |
| 32. | Comments by tsubaki1 [Rating: 6/10] they changed the screenwriter. thats unforgivable. it ruined the stories and casts. great disappointment from matsumoto and suzuki too. this series just makes everyone loves Doumoto and Tomosaka more. |
| 33. | Comments by N|sz^^aYa [Rating: 8/10] Matsu Jun, Damn Cute!!!! |
| 34. | Comments by keikotl [Rating: 10/10] Jun did a fantastic job and the cases involved was super!!! |
| 35. | Comments by enen_shun [Rating: 8/10] MatsuJun's Kindaichi is completely a different one with D.Tsuyoshi's one ... MatsuJun did quite a good job .. but i personally likes Tsuyoshi's Kindaichi more ... haa .. MatsuJun's one is a little too cool ... and i prefer Tomosaka Rie's Miyuki more ~~ but the story plot is interesting .. every case is a different one ...i enjoyed the one with Nari in it most ~ |
| 36. | Comments by norani [Rating: 10/10] Loved the series . Is there a possibility that Jun Matsumoto will appear in more of these series. He is young, handsome.adorable.extremely talented and wondrous. What more can one say. |
| 37. | Comments by kaonashi [Rating: 6/10] Recommended for those who like drama such as Kasouken no onna & Trick. Personally I think all detective drama become quite boring after a few episodes. |
| 38. | Comments by kisekied [Rating: 6/10] Mystery.mystery.mystery. Yes, another crime is solved. |
| 39. | Comments by kira69 [Rating: 8/10] matsujun destroyed kindaichi. anne was super good. hasejun was kinda funny. i loved the kokushichou episode. |
| 40. | Comments by natzumi [Rating: 10/10] Interesting with great ost. |
| 41. | Comments by hiei1999 [Rating: 6/10] If i could understand everything it might be better, but there are no subtitles and the dialogue is difficult |
| 42. | Comments by donna8157 [Rating: 9/10] A great series with lots of variety in both suspense, mystery, and thriller with light touches of romance and humor. (Hard to find the romance, but it's there). Matsumoto Jun does a rather convincing portrayal of the young detective, Kindaichi, and it was a lot of fun to watch him solve each case. At times though, the cases seemed to be more on the creepy/horror side of things.
His female counterpart, who does not have much of a large role, Miyuki played by Suzuki Anne also does a wonderful job. Towards the end though I was really rooting for some romance between them. ^_^
I highly recommend this series for anyone to watch. For those who are easily scared, maybe it would be better for you to watch this in the daytime. Hehe. There were some parts that reminded me of X-Files because of the supernatural-like beginnings and murders. |
| 43. | Comments by Lil_Naka [Rating: 10/10] Very Good, follows the anime/manga |
| 44. | Comments by Lil_Mochi [Rating: 8/10] Alright |
| 45. | Comments by ben_soh23 [Rating: 7/10] interesting drama, though i liked the first version better.... Matsumoto Jun is too handsome to play the blur Kindaichi.... |
| 46. | Comments by nagaioyasumi [Rating: 9/10] Excellent. Totally lived up to its predecessors. |
| 47. | Comments by tInoltin [Rating: 7/10] if only the girl changed with the girl at part1.. n still have jun as kindaichi.. |
| 48. | Comments by selphie086 [Rating: 7/10] I felt that the original cast was much better. I love Jun but it felt weird seeing him here. |
| 49. | Comments by Susan [Rating: 9/10] I originally grabbed this to watch more of Matsumoto Jun, but I was really suprised at how absorbing the mysteries are! I love quirky, msyerterious series like this and I devoured each and every episode! I hope I can find the first two series to watch - even though no MatsuJun - because I'm really interested in seeing more of Kindaichi! |
| 50. | Comments by Kawaii Kinomoto [Rating: 10/10] Excellent series!! Matsujun plays the role of Hajime Kindaichi very well. The cases are really good with some surprising twists to them!! As usual Anne Suzuki plays her role adorably!! she's so cute!! Also has very excellent other supporting actors. |
| 51. | Comments by 1noni [Rating: 10/10] this was my first jdrama... i watched it a long time ago and had a very good impression of it. if you like mysteries you should watch this. it almost freaked me out at times though cos i watched it at night. |
| 52. | Comments by IniQx [Rating: 10/10] love the suspense & the twist in every episode. |
| 53. | Comments by Jessicasoon [Rating: 9/10] my first ever jdorama. it caught my attention on tv. and i went all the way out to get it and watch it from the beginning. i really love the cases. they're always so interesting and fun. and i like reading the comics too. but sometimes admit really quite scary. like the butterfly hse. *brr* |
| 54. | Comments by arwenna [Rating: 7/10] MatsuJun brings a new twist to Kindaichi. Funkier than Domoto. Liked this better. |
| 55. | Comments by tsuki666 [Rating: ?/10] Matsu Jun detective |
| 56. | Comments by cghu007 [Rating: 8/10] I like the Butterfly case the most. It was so beautiful and poignant. I love Kindaichi and I collect the Manga (BM translation) so collecting the boxset is just the next step really. |
| 57. | Comments by fybabe [Rating: 8/10] Still prefer the manga though. Didn't watch 1&2, but Jun is kawaii as Kindaichi. Better than I thought. |
| 58. | Comments by lorac81 [Rating: 7/10] matsumoto jun..... very cute as a detective |
| 59. | Comments by -miyukii [Rating: 10/10] i love KINDAICHI!!! xspecially dah new actor!! |
| 60. | Comments by yamete_evie [Rating: 7/10] Suzuki An=very annoying. Plots weird and hard to follow. Only worth watching for MatsuJun. Who is always VERY VERY VERY worth watching. |
| 61. | Comments by carla-chan [Rating: 10/10] Juuuuuuuuun!!!! *0* |
| 62. | Comments by lazy_bum [Rating: 8/10] cute Matsujun!! |
| 63. | Comments by V(~^____^~)S [Rating: 6/10] It's ok, watched it cuz of MatsuJun. It's not totally amazing, but it's good to watch when you have spare time.
there's this one episode that was really really stupid. k they were at this party and there was a murder. one of the clues was that the fish in the fish tank were die *gasp gasp*. but, when you saw the fish, they were sinking to the bottom of the tank instead of floating! so ya I thought that was the most retarded thing I've ever seen. but other than that, it was really good. |
| 64. | Comments by Aunty Coco [Rating: 9/10] Matsumoto Jun is definately better than Tsuyoshi Domoto |
| 65. | Comments by idetakun [Rating: 2/10] :S |
| 66. | Comments by twentytrees [Rating: 9/10] more mystery and interesting episodes. |
| 67. | Comments by adrxuan [Rating: 9/10] :D...nicey..i love watchin kindaichi....still love the 1st one thougjh...:P |
| 68. | Comments by Prongs [Rating: 8/10] Cool Kindaichi |
| 69. | Comments by HeLLoMinna [Rating: 8/10] was pretty good. the mystery cases was interesting. but, wish the ending was better tho. |
| 70. | Comments by crysta03 [Rating: 8/10] love matsumoto jun!! some of the stories are kinda creepy, but you can really get into them! |
| 71. | Comments by jica [Rating: 8/10] I think Jun is too cool and too handsome to be Kindaichi... and I didn't liked the cases that much. But it was enjoyable. Anne Suzuki was good as Miyuki. Maybe I look forward to it too much so I was kind of disappointed. But I think you should see it. |
| 72. | Comments by nienna [Rating: 5/10] Totaaly boring! Certain parts of the story wandered of the original plot and made it hard to understand properly. The only character i liked most was MatsuJun. He was kinda cool n a bit baka... |
| 73. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 7/10] MatsuJun's Kindaichi is fun and Suzuki Anne plays a good supporting role as they solve mysteries together. My personal favourite was still the first episode although the rest were still pretty fun to follow. This was my first set of Kindaichi so I'm looking forward to seeing Kazuya's and Dohmoto Tsuyoshi's version. |
| 74. | Comments by Kotori [Rating: 8/10] Jun is soooooooooo hooot in that! I think I love Jun when he was still cute. ^O^ I love Kindaichi anyway... |
| 75. | Comments by Rainee [Rating: 7/10] Kame did the character justice but somehow he dun look like a "Kindaichi" as compared to Domoto and Jun, still the show is the usual kindaichi style and nice to watch if you like mysteries |
| 76. | Comments by butterLiLy [Rating: 7/10] It was Ok...get to see younger Matsujun |
| 77. | Comments by Criminalist [Rating: ?/10] Want to see it.... |
| 78. | Comments by jdoramarockz [Rating: 10/10] hihihi... |
| 79. | Comments by fuyuke [Rating: 7/10] Somehow or rather the change in characters make me feel that it is ot as good as before. Probably I got used to the guy in Kinki kids as the main actor rather than Mastu Jun. |
| 80. | Comments by cella [Rating: 9/10] really good! especially cos it got matsujun in it!
the mysteries are also as good as the one in the comics (are they from the comic?) |
| 81. | Comments by Ralbol [Rating: 4/10] Les 5 premiers episodes sont nuls a chier. Apres c'est deja un peu mieux, surtout le 7. Mais bon, c'est globalement tres en dessous d'un Trick par exemple.
A noter les apparitions de Narimiya Hiroki (ep 4-5), Sakai Wakana (ep 6) et surtout de Ayase Haruka (ep 7). |
| 82. | Comments by athida [Rating: 8/10] Watched it for Jun and somehow I got drawn into all the mystery, the suspense and the thriller aspects of it. It was really fun to watch Jun solve each case like a genius kid that he is. Putting the pieces together was the exciting part. I was also touched by the pure innocent love between Miyuki and Kindaichi. They are so cute! |
| 83. | Comments by atleast13 [Rating: ?/10] all i can say is, butterfly manor. lol. that house is domyouji's house in hana yori dango. it was creepy seeing that sister laying down with leaves/butterflies on her and her red outfit. |
| 84. | Comments by haruyume [Rating: ?/10] Haven't seen either!! The intro clip was SO DAMN COOL tho!!~~Another must get >o< |
| 85. | Comments by Q-chan [Rating: 8/10] Full of mystery... Love it!!! Lovely Matsu Jun... |
| 86. | Comments by hurh. [Rating: 7/10] I watched this recently. I hadn't seen anything Kindaichi-related before this. MatsuJun is very cute...and dorky (which is very likeable). I liked some of the stories a lot. |
| 87. | Comments by JAP FREAK [Rating: 7/10] ok. i think matsu is too cool in the show to show the real kindaichi's character... and the mysteries werent as nice as the ones which tsuyoshi acted in. |
| 88. | Comments by littlepanda [Rating: 9/10] Really good. Not my favorite role by Jun, but the cases are really interesting and it has just enough suspense/scariness. |
| 89. | Comments by oreorulez_12 [Rating: 10/10] ...so smart. WHY IS HE SO SMART?! Good detective skills...nice hair style. Matsujun that is. |
| 90. | Comments by soupychan [Rating: ?/10] Want to see |
| 91. | Comments by glyq [Rating: 7/10] i mite be bias.. lol but i tink i like tsyoshi bta.. lol xD d charcters r a bit twisted in dis one.. but its still gd |
| 92. | Comments by laramatsu [Rating: 8/10] Jun looks so small in this one, hehehe. I love it because I love the manga so much that I never missed it even once. Though... Tsuyoshi is the best Kindaichi *bonk head |
| 93. | Comments by KokiChan [Rating: 8/10] Cute and clever MatsuJun ^-^ He makes a really good Kindaichi but I think I liked Kamenashi Kazuya more in the movie... The cases were more interesting in that season than in the movie though! ++ Narimiya Hiroki appears ^-^ (but weird character lol) |
| 94. | Comments by Kiyomi L. Denise [Rating: 6/10] Not bad. Never watched other Kindaichi, other than Kame's, so I can't really compare. Jun's pretty funny. He's so cute with his bucktooth.. Fell in love with Arashi's Ji Dai the first time I heard it... The cases are a bit boring sometimes, but it's still okay when Hajime shows his funny self. |
| 95. | Comments by octane [Rating: 8/10] the cases are nice..
but don't really like the new Miyuki...
I like the old one better |
| 96. | Comments by jrenfuweix8956 [Rating: 5/10] comics seems nicer... |
| 97. | Comments by wargod11 [Rating: 10/10] ,,,matsumoto jun was amazing |
| 98. | Comments by weitingd [Rating: 10/10] i love matsu jun in this drama!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 99. | Comments by Dreamchaser [Rating: 8/10] Great suspense and MatsuJun is so sweeeet!!! |
| 100. | Comments by *Sayaka* [Rating: 8/10] Interesting story plot. Intriguing yet strange at the same time. |
| 101. | Comments by kaymissesyooh [Rating: 7/10] no the best matsujun dorama ive seen |
| 102. | Comments by kayloser [Rating: 7/10] this wasnt all that great |
| 103. | Comments by karreen kilobyte [Rating: 6/10] i just finished watching kimi wa petto...it's wonderful! and i cried at the end hahaha. as for this drama, i dont like matsumoto jun starring in this one. he shouldnt have a role in something like this. it's not a character that he could pull off. it's okay, he's still hot! hahaha. |
| 104. | Comments by lovejdorama [Rating: ?/10] avail for trade, 2-DVD English Subbed http://www.geocities.com/reddashay/jdorama.html |
| 105. | Comments by Rei_chan11 [Rating: 9/10] WooSShhHH...,
Gosh! This show is very cute and also the story! |
| 106. | Comments by JunNoHime [Rating: 8/10] Entertaining, but somewhat underwhelming |
| 107. | Comments by MrNiceGuy [Rating: 8/10] Interesting movie. Like detective Conan. Prettly cool! |
| 108. | Comments by Patazilla [Rating: 7/10] Well yeah... I missed a real storyline through the episodes, but that might be, because there were already two series before, which I haven't seen and maybe the planed on further series... anyways, I found it quite interesting and the cases were quite good, as well as the acting skills of Matsumoto Jun and Co... :3 |
| 109. | Comments by kou [Rating: 9/10] i luv e matsu-jun in tis show. i luv his buck-tooth ! lols aniwae tis drama will be definately interesting for kindaichi's fans! :) |
| 110. | Comments by tetsu69ers [Rating: 8/10] so young man,, young jun is gorgeous,, |
| 111. | Comments by Lady Zhuge [Rating: 9/10] Nice pacing and interesting mysteries. Jun is a much better Kindaichi than Kame. I also like Naitou Takashi as Kenmochi. |
| 112. | Comments by montanaky [Rating: 9/10] the filming for this series was nt as good as the first two, somehow the scenes were rather weird but elements of kindaichi's still in, so stil a good watch =) |
| 113. | Comments by winniepunk [Rating: 10/10] jun so kawaiii here...love him sooooooo much... |
| 114. | Comments by NuOy [Rating: 8/10] I watch because of Jun!! The drama is ok but a little bit dark and herror. |
| 115. | Comments by miia [Rating: 7/10] since dis is jun's first drama... it is quite evident that he needs more experience before becoming the jun we all know now... Some of the cases are very interesting n engagin. But i kindof feel that Suzuki Anne is a tad bit annoying haha |
| 116. | Comments by adagurl [Rating: 10/10] wow this movie is great!!! d best lao na sa matatalino!!!! |
| 117. | Comments by ichigo23 [Rating: 7/10] Good and refreshing!! Definitely woth to watch. But compared to the manga, it's a bit different. YOu don't get to see kawaii-Kindaichi in the manga ;-) [and Kenmochi isn't that short!]
I wish to see something more similar to the manga, so I think it's fair to give this dorama 7 out of 10. |
| 118. | Comments by gto_girlz83 [Rating: 5/10] All the reason is revenge..after watching series 1 and 2, sometimes its getting me tired..but i still able to finish till the last episode |
| 119. | Comments by marspeach [Rating: 6/10] I wanted to watch a mystery show. I had read some of the manga. Matsujun as Kindaichi solves the mysteries. Erm, nothing too special about it. The sub was also awful, similar to the DO show. I think it was subtitled from a Chinese translation. There were many times when the subs were just not what the characters were saying and it was pretty funny. |
| 120. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: 8/10] I love the second season. but somehow I feel I like the cases in this better. |
| 121. | Comments by Andro [Rating: 10/10] A really good detectiv drama with MatsuJun. |
| 122. | Comments by room304 [Rating: 6/10] Jun did well enough as kindaichi and the plot wasn't too predictable so overall this was worth watching |
| 123. | Comments by Shachihoko [Rating: ?/10] plan to watch |
| 124. | Comments by Swedish_Japan_Lover [Rating: 6/10] bad |
| 125. | Comments by rei-desu [Rating: 9/10] Ueno Juri is here! weeeeeeeee!! genre: Mystery(its like Detective Conan) |
