i only remember about their jankenpon; tell the opponent that you can read their mind, then throw a paper..then you'll win...lol

well, i remember i enjoyed this drama a lot, tho..
i love both kimutaku and ayase haruka.. <3

I remember mostly of the episodes because when people ask me why I like watching japanese drama I always give this drama as example...I always tell them how brilliant this drama..and how they use brain analysis in solving cases...

It's a really cool drama..but some episodes also made me sad:-(
