This was a very fun drama. It is nothing you can take seriously so just sit back relax and enjoy the funny food based detective story unfold. I would have given it a 10 but the end was a bit of a let down.

If you are looking for a goofy funny enjoyable drama you can do much worse than Kuitan the Glutinous Detective. Based on a Manga this drama delivers a consistent story line and odd sense of humor. The characters are not what you would call especially deep but they are all over the top in the best possible way. I enjoyed it completely.

I watched this Special DVD right after the Season 1 DVD. It was disappointing as the Kuitan character was vastly different from Season 1. It was as if Higashiyama Noriyuki forgot the essence of his original character: humbleness and humility.
Hong Kong is not a pretty backdrop for this series; the Cantonese food is uninspiring; and the Chinese actors/actresses could be better looking. Kuitan actually could be seen without eating food while walking.
All in, a clumsy effort to introduce a Hong Kong office of the Holmes Agency. I hope they don't try to export the format to other countries.
