  • Goodbye My Princess: Director's Cut

    1. Goodbye My Princess: Director's Cut

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 55 episodes

    10

    An epic tragedy that will make you go through countless emotions from start to finish! Expect extremely well written complex characters and a storyline that you will remember forever. I recommend the Director's cut since it contains many extra scenes that improve the flow of the story and provide a better background. A special mention should be some very feminist dialogues that the FL delivers, that had me pleasantly surprised because I did not expect something like that from a period drama. In fact, feminism is a running theme throughout the story which makes this already legendary drama even better.

    This has hands down the best relationship development ever! It is a slow burn, growing slowly and naturally at its own pace, and the cinematography and storyline is so beautiful. The leads had amazing chemistry and both suited the quiet and sensitive characters very well. I wish it had the standard 16 episodes so that the story could have been even more complete...

  • I’m Drunk, I Love You

    3. I’m Drunk, I Love You

    Filipino Movie - 2017

    9.0

    This is mainly a coming of age movie with themes of unrequited love, friendship, graduation and music. It has extremely well written and realistic characters and storyline. The actors were extremely brilliant in their roles, and you would find yourself reading into every single move of theirs. I don't think I need to say anything about the chemistry between the leads, those who know will know (Sizzling!). The story does not explain everything the characters do and leaves a lot for interpretation, it is pretty thought provoking. Also, this has one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard!
