"

Ok now this drama! it is sooo good, I cant believe I'd ever say this but lol....I actually like it alot, at first I thought of how it was action and police and immediately I thought this was going to be a boring and lots of shooting kind of drama but actually it was more than that, The way the drama is made and set up is really interesting and theres many parts that are so funny, mainly because of the character attitude...oh and BTW the two main guy character omg! they are so HOT! (may i say..be prepared ...dont drool too much..lol) but yah this drama is really good, similar to the Korean drama IRIS

hahaha love this drama Its sooooo funny, This is like how the three sisters are witches and they do many things in order to have the family become a happy and great family, the many things that they do are soooo funny!!!! Seriously if you LOVE comedy, watch this!!! you are going to laugh...oh and this is really cute drama,it has this family ..at home type of feeling...(lol...I dont know but thats how I feel, possibly mainly because I am Taiwanese so seeing this makes me miss my relatives in Taiwan...!!) but yah its pretty funny!
