The original title of this JDorama is Puzzle but I added 2008 because there are two titles of the same name, first released in 2006 and now this one, in 2008. Although the story revolves around the three boys, the storyline are totally different.

This drama are very entertaining, it's been a long time since I found interesting mystery drama that can actually compete with Trick series and Galileo, but this one is quite entertaining. Enjoy the trailer =)
