Kimi ni Love Song wo

- Overall 10
- Story 10
- Acting/Cast 10
- Music 9
- Rewatch Value 9
Kimi ni Love Song wo is a beautiful lovestory with a message behind its first most noticed storyline. While it is a story about love, It also tells the story of the friendship of the band, Helping eachother out when its needed through difficult times. I will be writing a spoilerless review.

Sungje is a singer for the band Supernova, However he has always had his flaws in his Japanese pronounciations. After unwillingly failing his song records many times, the song producers decides to put his songs on hold for now asking him to improve his Japanese. He takes a walk along the harbor and comes to meet a girl, This girl doesn't seem to see who he is however. Singing on a song by the korean band Supernova, He is unable to get the sentences to come out right causing the girl Saori to complete his song lyrics with perfect Japanese. Sungje quickly falls for the girl helping him out, And so he asks her a request of her learning him the right way to speak Japanese. She accepts on the condition that he will learn her korean aswell. His feelings develop for Saori while hiding behind somebody elses name, Determined to confess about his real identity. From here on starts a story of heartbreak, Friendship and romance for Sungje, However his happiness won't be one gained without struggling for it.

I found this movie to be really incredible. It had me laughing, crying and making me unable to refrain from smiling at some points. The movies soundtrack was amazing, Into the soundtrack there were original music from Supernova themselves fitting into the story without a doubt. Music was put into the right situations, No music I feel didn't belong in the movie. Great!.

Kimi ni Love Song wo is a story for all out there who are able to take watching romantic tearjerkers. While the storyline is unpredictive it only keeps the watch more amazing. Sung Je's first movie role, Couldn't have been performed any more perfectly. read more

Shounen wa tori ni natta

- Rewatch Value 7
Yamashita Tomohisa takes on the role as 15 year old Nagashima Ken in the drama special Shounen wa tori ni natta about the boy who made miracles happen time and time again. I will be writing a spoilerless review.

Ken is a 15 year old boy who was born with a unusual heartdisease. Ever since the day he was born, There has always been a little hole in his heart. The doctors all claimed he wouldn't be able to live to become even 1 year old, Miracles occured and to the doctors big surprise Ken is now a fifteen year old boy. Planning and studying for what he would like to become in the future, the disease worsens as heartattacks begin happening regularly. Ken is growing, and his heart is unable to keep up with the growth at this rate. His old lifestyle is forced into a drastic change as Ken will have to start using means for living he never before thought that he would ever need. Ken keep on staying true to his own self throughout the sufferings and hardships he takes on. The Heartwarming story of a boy who despite of his handicaps always put other people before himself. Eternally fascinated by the legendary mountain hawk who he has only seen once before in his life, And deciding that he will live to see it again.

There wasn't much of an ost for this drama special. It honestly didn't even have a themesong which is rare for dramas. Most of the music in the drama was pianomusic or just emotional instrumentals adapted into fitting in with the story. The music isn't really anything to brag about, But what was there to be found really was good.

Shounen wa tori ni natta is a special that doesn't have to much popularity out there. It deserves more than it got. Watching the special it felt like Ken motivated you throughout the story instead of you just feeling bad for him. Its not just another tearjerker, The drama special will have you angered, laughing and crying along with the characters. read more

Vampire Host

by MonjaElisa
- Overall 8
- Story 8
- Acting/Cast 9
- Music 8
- Rewatch Value 8
Picking up Vampire Host, I didn't have too much expectations about it. All I basically expected upon watching it was just to pass some time. What I didn't expect however, Was that already in the first episode I would be completely addicted to the drama. A drama based on the Bloodhound manga by the mangaka Yuki Kaori. I will be writing a spoilerless review.

Rion Kanou is a 17 year old girl, And a great friend to her friend. One day she recieves a voice mail from her best friend who abrubtly got cut off. All she could hear from the voicemail was the sound of her friends really shaken up voice, And her saying that the person who has her captive is a real vampire. Not believing in vampires Rion's suspicions automatically leads her to a themed host club downtown, Where she meets the young Suou. Suou is refusing to have anything to do with her best friends dissapearance which makes Rion more sure that he is the person behind it. Leaving herself indebted by breaking a valueable wine bottle, She starts working in the host club and by a call of fate she finds out the truth of Suou. This fated encounter eventually leading her into a dangerous journey ahead filled with new encounters, Dangers, Sadness, Happiness, Laughter, Fear and some romance. It doesn't seem like something special when you first watch it, But when you've watched it for a bit things definately becomes more original aswell as entertaining.

The soundtrack isn't too special. Its fitting that of a short drama, But it doesn't stand out especially much to the point of needing to be bragged about.

Vampire Host is definately not a drama you should miss out on. If you like romance, comedy, vampires and ofcourse the supernatural-genre, this will be a mustlove for you. They have however decided to keep parts of this drama somewhat alike the vampire stereotype due to the manga. Allthough things might get exaggerated often in the series, Its a part of its charm.. read more

Lovesick

by MonjaElisa
- Overall 10
- Story 10
- Acting/Cast 10
- Music 10
- Rewatch Value 9
Lovesick is one of the many movies out there today who doesn't seem like anything special due to its common storyline. Once you actually watch the movie and get into the plot, You'll find yourself falling in love with the movie. What seemed like just another romantic comedy, Will in the end turn out to be a movie of a deeper meaning. With Ariel Lin in the role of Rou Qing falling for a young doctor, acted by Chen Berlin. I will write a spoilerless review.

Liang Ruo Qing was happily in love with her boyfriend, His lifelong dream was always to become famous and so After some chances trying he eventually got recruited as a singer. Due to the wrong timing she entered to see a missleading image of her boyfriend and his manager in a uncomfortable situation, This leading to her belief about her boyfriend cheating on her. Many tears were cried that night, But as time went by she decided she would stop trusting guys. 3 Years has passed since then, And Ruo Qing has grown cold towards men. At her place of working there is a new doctor working, Seemingly perfect. Without a flaw visually, And nice to everybody. Love at first sight makes the situation difficult for Ruo Qing, So she decides to prove to everybody that this doctor Zhe Han isn't anything close to how perfect he seems... However after many tries of finding something bad about him, She only seems to fall for him more and more.
A Story filled with romance you never would have expected. Its not just any story, Its by far worth the watch.

The soundtrack in the movie deserves bragging. The songs that are used are fitting into each of the situations they are used, And they are fittingly choosen for the main cast.

A Story about Love and Heartache, Aswell as the importance of life and happiness.. Recommended for all people who like movies with a message to be told. For everyone who loves a good romantic story.
If you are a fan of either of these, You will love Lovesick. read more

Tokyo Boy

by MonjaElisa
- Overall 7
- Story 9
- Acting/Cast 9
- Music 6
- Rewatch Value 5
Tokyo Boy is a movie in which tells a story in which you can't find in most movies today. This psychological romance movie shows you the life of the young girl Minato, Ever since a young age Minato has managed to find herself a penpal, Little does she know about him except that he is a boy on her age.

In a early age Minato (Horikita Maki) lost her parents to a caraccident and as a result from this she had to move in to her senile grandmother as she was the only family she had. Night is not just any usuall boy, He is one that Minato can tell even her darkest secrets to with her trust for him always remaining. Lately she has fallen in love, In the convenience-store she works she met Karasawa Shu by a coincidence, He helps her out in something that usually would cause her salary to be deducted. From this moment on she fell in love with him. Sending Night letters telling him about how she feel, The result will be one not expected from anyone. Who is this Night really?
A romance takes place in where it doesn't seem to belong in Tokyo Boy, The story of a girl with a strange illness yet to be labled with a name.

The music in this movie isn't really that much to brag about, But then again it is not really a music-based movie in the first place. I gave it a six as I am neither especially satesfied nor Too greatly dissapointed by it.

This movie will be recommended to people who enjoy psychological movietypes or dramas. The pace is really slow at first, However the movie will manage to catch up with itself. A great movie, Yet not one of the best. It's worth the watch anyways though. read more

The One Missed Call final is the third and last movie in the One Missed Call trilogy. In the main role as Asuka, starring Horikita Maki.

The One Missed Call final takes place in a different way than it did in the two previous movies, And this time Mimiko chooses her victims through Asuka's computer. I'll be writing a spoilerless review.

Confronted with what she is doing, She decides to try to fight the evil powers influencing her with the help of her old friend Emily and Emily's korean boyfriend An Jinu. What started like a game filled with only revenge and fun on her behalf, Will conclude with what will be a nightmare for her aswell as for the remaining students.
True Love isn't shallow, You'll be loved despite of any disability or problems you might have. The Death Call who will lead to deeper feelings in love, tears and horror... Who will be the next victim?

This was in overall a really great movie.. I couldn't have been anymore happily surprised as to how it ended. The Only reason as to why I really checked out this movie, Was Because of Jang Keun Suk acting in it, And I am glad I did.. It made me cry my eyes out. The movie had a great soundtrack. The Themesongs really fit with the movie.. I would really recommend this movie at the highest..
Unlike the other two movies, This movie doesn't have much of the other movies in it. It feels like a alternate version.. Watching the other two first is recommended, However, It is not needed in a high degree. read more

Sunshine Angel is a romantic story which follows the life of a young rich boy who unexpectedly falls in love with someone he wouldn't even bother to give a secound look to normally.. This story, Starring Rainie Yang and Farenheit's Wu Chun as the lead roles takes on the every day issues about the man who has it all, Unexpectedly then to lose everything previously valued to him before he met the girl of his dreams. I'll leave this review spoilerless..

The drama has a really good soundtrack, I Love nearly each and every song in the ost.. The songs are placed into the right scenes so I can't complain of the timing.

''One time's carelessness is all it really takes''

This was a really good drama. I never expected it to be like it was. I got it pretty well from the title of the drama that it would be a really sad one though, And I really liked the ending. Bittersweet in a good way. I'll leave this review spoilerless..

Kano Masaki is a young girl who for a long time have been a fan of the music producer Ishikawa Keigo. As a reward for remaining a true fan of Keigo she decides she deserves to be there on atleast one of his concerts. Spending money on a ticket for her and one of her friends, She looses her wallet with money and the tickets to his concert. Influence can be a bad thing, Especially if its given you by the wrong type of people. Fake friends are some of these. The nightclub downtown is a place where Masaki and her friends usually meets up, Always talking about the same thing. Money. The matter comes out into the open and Masaki decides that one night won't do her any harm. 50.000 yen for sleeping with some stranger just once, Going into the experience only expecting to slightly regret it after it has actually happened, She comes out of the experience with more than just the 50.000 yen. Far from what she ever expected could happen, She's now been given the HIV virus from just this one night she'll regret the rest of her life.
Allthough not knowing about this, Masaki-chan spends the night with Keigo shortly after the concert.. Finding out who her true friends really are, aswell as obtaining a new friend and love interest in Keigo, Her life from then on turns upside-down.

Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake is the story of a young girl who gets infected with the HIV virus from a stranger. A story filled with love and tears. An unique drama who'll give you a new way of looking at your life. It is a really good drama, I don't think it could have been any better.
