cliche but unpredictable

●FIRST IMPRESSION
I watched this movie solely for Yoo Ah In, but it was an OK storyline. I liked the other two couples more. Kang Ha Neul's storyline was the most beautiful and touched me. Chef and Airhostess story feLT subtle and pleasant to watch. The movie is cliche but the way its executed is unpredictable. Well, the genre is rom-com I couldn’t feel the comedy as I actually didn’t get any laugh and I watched it to lighten up my mood.

●ACTING/CAST
Even though I didn't like YAI plot, I enjoyed his performance. Even if he just stares at the camera with no dialogue, I feel his emotions just like magic.
Kang Ha Neul, am not his fan but whenever I watch him he never disappoints me. anyone in his place would do the same and His eyes were filled with those gripping feelings which one cannot ignore.

●MUSIC
The composition is light and fills in more magic to the scenes especially the piano score.

●FAV SCENE
When Esom and Kang Ha Neul were walking down the road and he makes her listen to his composition.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
If the title is Like for likes there should have been more internet posts and others stuff. it didn't seem like the writers used the title to its worth.

●REWATCH
Maybe I will watch it again to understand it better or the points which I have missed. And of course for YAI.

A crazy melodrama

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I started this drama for Bella and James but wait they aren't a couple in this series, they are inlaws here and have a friendly bond.

●FIRST IMPRESSION
What comes to mind when hearing BLACKMAGIC? Something like, any person who does Blackmagic to someone is property or to harm them, and the person doing it is bad. But this drama completely changed my perspective of thinking and gave me a new way to think from the doer’s eye.
Also think twice before judging a person, even though he is wrong.

●PLOT VIEW
it was extremely crazy from the start to finish and felt like I was on a rollercoaster and would hit the lowest part of the loop all the time. There were so many couples and almost everyone had a double relationship filled with betrayal, infidelity, pregnancy, ego, honesty, social class, and love. Once I thought that why every relationship is woven into pregnancy thread, but this drama takes place in somewhat ’60s, and yeah people at that time and now also take this unmarried pregnancy issue as a pride thing for a family. This drama had kept the tension level high in every episode always telling that whatever you do will always come back. though it becomes boring during scenes where the character kept on crying for more than 30seconds and I usually 2x the speed.
Father and mother had who opened up a store and made it successful from the ground had 4 sons who were like the 4 pillars of the house. But karma strikes in and shakes up their world. The mother who led the 5men of the family couldn’t accept that her son would disobey his decision of marital match. It was also because of how headstrong Renu was and she thought she was making correct choices for her sons.
Karn and Piangpen story was touching while Renu and Achai story was satisfying.

●ACTING/CAST
Every character was exceptionally good. Even if they fought and played antagonists they made their character hateful with their performance.
There is no ML or FL but characters who have equal contributions to this complicated family drama.
Renu (Bella Ranee )portraying a dignified ex-prostitute, having strong will and stubbornness is delightful to watch. She still accepts her social class, her misfortune, her limited capability but embraces life and challenges as they come.
Kamol /Asa (James) was the typical boy next door and whom you can stop adoring. He was the guy for putting in the smiles in the drama despite high tension. His genuineness and easygoingness were delightful to watch.
Mother Yoi (Mai) is devastatingly amazing. I read that she is single and yet she portrayed this complex character of the mother with volcanic of emotions. She sure was hard to watch during the initial episodes but that is just the foundation of strong character as She completely absorbed herself in being the shrewish character.
Asee (August) his sweet yet flirty nature grabs the attention. Being the youngest of the family surely made him lovable and stubborn making you fall with his kindness.
Karn (Kuan) was pleasant stealing hearts as a village singer. His smile and shirtless body working at the rice mill were feasts to eyes.
Janta(Preeyakarn) and Wanna(Pie) these two simple hardworking girls stole some hearts with their amiable and Kind-hearted nature. They just naturally played themselves.

●MUSIC
The opening track“Phit Rue Thirak” was sung by Yoi(Mai), she put her heart and soul into the track. The lyrics translation was a tearjerker. Thanks to subbers.
Another song“jai si thao” sung by James Jirayu is soft and soulful.

●REWATCH
It was such a heavy drama that made me lose myself and I paused in between to cry out. But still, I would like to watch this drama again in the long future.

●APPRECIATION
I loved how each character gets closure with no loose ends in the story. Despite having so many characters and stories we get to see their folded past which gives them their fruit of karma.
The background portrayal as in the 60s time was beautiful. The village, market, lakes, and houses were beautiful.

●FAV SCENE
I loved the scenes of Renu and Asee's friendship throughout the show.

●QUOTES
All the quotes at the end of the episode were thought-provoking.
What we saw and thought is good is actually defective. What we thought was bad is worthy instead. There is an only illusion in life because of prejudice, to Yoi

●AFTERTHOUGHT
This drama shows that good deeds cannot be exchanged for wrongdoing and Karma will eventually strike you.
Black magic is bad but wrongdoings are fatal.
think twice before judging someone, coz you don’t know what they have gone through in past.

started for Pon, watched only for Sarin

●FIRST IMPRESSION
I was frustrated watching this, it was like endless torture to Khiri as well as me. He was the most affection-deprived person in the whole series. i fast-forwarded many times because of the boring ongoing plot.

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I started the show because of 2reasons, firstly Pon Nawasch of course, Secondly, the synopsis read Indian millionaire mafia, so I got curious how the Indian mafias are portrayed in a Thai drama.

●Plot view
The story was going round and round and I dropped it at ep9 and picked it up again months later. The story paced a little fast since episode 9
When Danika is with Khiri she completely sides with him and even scolds SKY. When she is friends with SKY, why can't she make SKY understand, otherwise she is calm and asks SKY for help and then she becomes some1else when finding the right guy. But she herself isn't perfect or honest. She just wanted an escape from her stepdad so she turned to Khiri which makes a 360degree change in his life. the track changed completely to Khiri. His role shadowed everyone but it was written pathetically.

If the father had to forgive the mother in end, why didn’t he do it before, why wait for years to do it.

●ACTING/CAST
SKY was the most obnoxious character and didn’t like a thing about him, except the fact it was played by PON. Indian men don’t really wear traditional clothes as shown by the character of SKY, but he definitely gave an authentic feel and looked amazingly handsome in Indian attire. fight and action were done nicely.
Danika's character is the worst one I have seen, she- completely plays the two guys effortlessly at her fingertips. She enjoyed both of their attention but she covered herself in the honest policy.
The- only character who kept me going was Khiri (Sarin), his action and emotion felt genuine. His naive face tells the story that he is a good guy forced to do bad things. his lean and thin body was perfect when he wasn't able to fight, or displaying they didn't have food to eat and starved. i became his fan and would love to see more of his work.
Suwit and Isari were such loyal mates to servants, their actions were precise and pleasing to watch.

●MUSIC
It was simply boring, maybe because I wasn’t enjoying the story. But truly I didn’t like the OST nor the BGM. I Practically skipped them.

●REWATCH
Absolute NO, it took months to finish once. Although I like Khiri, there was hardly anything good happening to him that I would like to rewatch.

●APPRECIATION
I liked the fact that they wore bulletproof jackets every time they went for a shootout. This thing was really on point, they are rich mafia, and have the brains to use the money.
The Indian culture, food, and traditions of weddings and the beautiful locations, was mesmerizing. They captured varied scenes giving a full-fledged Indian feel in just a few episodes.

●CRITICISM
Why Danika doesn’t want to tell stepdad wrongdoing.
Why Khiri never told anybody about the kidnapping.
both these things were such points that kept bugging until the end.

●QUOTES
You like to watch the star but I like to watch the moon, but it doesn't mean that I hate the stars.

entertaining and full of life

●HOW I CAME TO IT
Am not a fan of J-movie but whatever I have watched until now they have never failed to surprise me so Here is another J-movie to check off my PTW list. This is like a sweet and crunchy choco pie, filled with fruits and nuts, which means with each bite of the event there is an unexpected taste that is delicious than ever.

●PLOT VIEW
I read the synopsis and pretty much says all but still, I didn’t know what should I interpret about the movie before watching it. Is the girl bratty in nature? is the guy cunning as he marries for money? Why do the parents want the high school teens to marry? Everything is answered in the most quirky way possible. It shows the most unexpected things with over-the-top cuteness. The story is simple yet its unfolding is like opening a lotus flower which has roots in muddy water but is still beautiful as no other. The story is not new a girl dreaming of a prince charming, boring right. but this movie is refreshingly unique. Something I've never really seen before...a love story I've never heard of.  From the opening scene in the bedroom to the ending scene, everything was special and put a smile on my face. The richness, poorness, parents of FL was over the top but that basic really suited her. ML didn’t fall for her but eventually understood the meaningful love he received, that was the beauty of the movie.

●ACTING/CAST
Yûna Taira as Karin Oriyama is like a spirited princess who has got every wish fulfilled. She is sweet, cute, graceful but a little clumsy. She played her character like a pro and one cannot stop but adore her for the ruckus she goes through. She had astounding facial expressions and an amazing fashion style.
Kento Nakajima as Nao Tsurugi was a surprise, he is not hidden in the FL shadow but has his own share of charm when it's unpredictable that he should get angry or laugh. He is a mature guy who acts after understanding the situations sharply. He did the emotional scenes fairly well, can feel his emotion through his eyes.
All the other characters, parents, manager, friends, house owner everyone were an excellent supporting cast. They made the movie more watchable.

●MUSIC
There is a birthday song, good lyrics, and a mood maker. Also, there is a song at the end credit which has an amazing music score. Otherwise, there is a super amazing BGM that makes the scenes beautiful.

●REWATCH
This movie can be watched anytime. Actually, I rewatched it already twice. It gives enormous laughs with the crazy lines and acting of the everyone is worth watching.

●FAV SCENE
The first sorry scene is my favorite. I had never seen any scene like this before, everyone's reaction was priceless.

●FAV DIALOGUE
What's wrong with choosing him for his face? - Karin Oriyama

●RECOMMENDATION
If you like romantic comedy, cohabitation, fluffy romance then this movie is for you. If you don’t like these genres then also give it a try this movie will not let you down.

major friendship goal

●HOW I CAME TO IT
This drama was so hyped during the release, that I barely tried to watch it because of all the spoilers everywhere. And with the release of the second season, which is still running but I see no hype, I decided to watch the first season and I don’t have to wait for the second season.

●PLOT VIEW
Story of five friends who studied in same medical university comes to work at the same hospital. They form a Band as a condition of one friend to work at the hospital. This eventually keeps them together while juggling the hardships of daily life as a doctor. all of them gathering for food, music but the best was being there during the morose.
While there also touching snippets of patients which sometimes put the doctors in an awkward position and sometimes left them crying.
The hierarchy of the hospital is clearly visible but this didn’t make the series any dramatic, it was rather fresh seeing how the seniors resident poached the interns to choose their specialty. I reminisced my intern days in the Operation Room and how the seniors bossed around and super seniors asked to join the same specialty. The dreams of the medical student, to first OR experience as an intern, the first case, the first car just gives a meaningful peek of life of doctors.
The endless gossips in the cafeteria contributing to the fantastic five-story revelation was different which also showed other doctors are equally important hence a more progressive story is built with these characters.

●ACTING/CAST
In fact, the characters are all likable
Jung Kyung Ho as Kim Jun Wan is an excellent performer. His romantic track and all the humorous things he does are at point.
Jo Jung Suk as Lee Ik Jun is the first time I watched him and he took me over with his witty performance. He's believable and has a kind of goofy personality, clever and quick-thinking in his job.
Jeon Mi Do as Chae Song Hwa is a fine artist considering this is her first main lead work. She is talented and has a pace she will go a long way in the future.
Kim Dae Myung as Yang Suk Hyung portrayed his caring mama boy character with excellence.
Yoo Yeon Seok as Ahn Jung Won has seen him in other series as a doctor, he was cute as a pediatrician and did his job well. But considering how strong I have seen him, this was my least favorite one.

●MUSIC
The music was good, I thought it soundtracked each episode with due discretion, never overpowering the scene. All the songs were covers from popular 90’s tracks which also resembles the character reminiscing their university days.

●REWATCH
This drama is so light that I can watch it any day to boost up your mood. If you want you can just watch one episode and it will give warmth.

●FAV SCENE
Lee Ik Jun and his son's moments are my favorite moments from the show.

●APPRECIATION
There's an ever-present light undertone to the drama which I personally found charming. No trace of melodrama is to be found so that you can watch with due expectations. Rather than cliche life and death situation in hospitals, it emphasizes the humanism of the professionals.

●RECOMMENDATION
Anyone who likes friendship-themed series, this is highly recommended. It's also a good one to be watched with the whole family.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
Considering this drama can be watched with a single episode without any urge for the next episode I decided to watch season 2. yeah there are no spoilers which are excellent and also the season1 ended with a cliffhanger. So I am in time to watch season2.

if you believe in true love

●FIRST IMPRESSION
So I was always wondering what the significance of the synopsis describing a scene so vividly. but when I completed the movie I can completely agree with the title describing A MOMENT TO REMEMBER.

●PLOT VIEW
I fell for the character, their love story was saddening yet memorable and touching. I literally cried with them on the way to the vicissitude journey. The movie shows what pure true love is, when you expect nothing and give love with all your faith, you will double fold in return. Choi Chul Soo is the average working person, a girl would want as a husband, he is rude, jealous, insecure sometimes arrogant but the way he showed his love is irresistible, he became the person whom I would search for in my future husband.

●ACTING/CAST
All the characters looked so young since I am watching this movie in lockdown 2021. Son Ye Jin looked so youthful and her acting chops were excellent. This was one of her earliest works and am highly impressed.
This was the first time I watched Jung Woo Sung, and he is exceptionally amazing. His hair, clothes, eyes, body language everything was perfect. He didn’t seem he acted it felt like he lived the role of Choi Chul Soo.

●MUSIC
OST was infused into the scene just as we have the cherry on the cake. it soothed the ears and comforted the souls, relieving the heartache.

●REWATCH
This drama has high rewatched value but I would be diabetic if I watch too much sweet. Yeah, I will wait for some time to rewatch this again.

●RECOMMENDATION
If you like love stories this movie is for you but remember it has a tragic element, so prepare a lot of tissue.

●FAV SCENE
I can't pick one moment because every moment is so mesmerizing. Beautifully scripted and perfectly painted. I would pick the first drinking scene at the roadside tent.

Don't watch at night time if you get scared easily

●PLOT VIEW
Why did I even choose this movie to watch at midnight, It scared me to hell but then it was still the first half, while the second half is the explanation of the first half which was fine. It had all the substance of a thriller movie, creepy setting, murder mystery, sci-fi backdrop with a chilling story.

The plot was developed beautifully, I tried making guesses but was not able to predict, Firstly it seemed like a horror genre, then suggest as a murder mystery and then a thriller.it plays with your mind and keeps you on edge until the end. I paused at the point and tried to question what is really happening and who is the elder brother actually, Quite frightening for me. Anyone if finds herself/himself in that situation would probably feel the same. The ending is gloomy, two apparently good guys are eroded in their own created doom.

●ACTING/CAST
All the actors did an exceptional job creating this incredible piece. Kang Ha Neul definitely deserves praise for top notch performance. His emotions, expression was to the point and I actually got swept away with his acting.

●APPRECIATION
The writer-directors did an amazing job with the shift of genre and manipulating the audience delving into a deep dark story.

●REWATCH
This movie deserves a rewatch, but I would not be able to do that because of its excessive and horror moments.

●RECOMMENDATION
This is a movie if for people who want an excellent thriller movie where they had to keep guessing that what's gonna happen. The film had lots of curse words so it should be watched under parental guidance if below 16 and many of the scenes are also violent.

everyone looked so young

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I saw a small clip of the movie and it was so funny that I instantly searched for the movie and viewed it. this movie was made in 2005 and here I am appreciating it in lockdown 2021

●STORY
The synopsis says it all that a detective goes undercover to protect a mafia’s daughter and catch him. But she is faced with various school difficulties.

●PLOT VIEW
The movie shows the abilities of detective Cheo Jae In having amazing undercover skills, but being in a high school was challenging for her. She faces trouble while doing the mission as she has to pose as a minor. All the incidents were making the movie delightful and thrilling to watch. I laughed hard when she gets caught by her teacher for carrying the mission but as a minor, she becomes eligible for punishment. I even guessed the storyline ML correctly, he had a nice story but it wasn’t developed wholly as this was a movie with 112 minutes. I wish it were a drama.
It had more friendship details than romance which was delightful.

●ACTING/CAST
Kim Sun Ah as Cheon Jae In did a superb job. She looked fantastic in the school uniform. Her action scenes were well done, it didn’t see, if any stunt double were used(if used any)
Gong Yoo as Gang No Yeong was so youthful. I felt this because I haven't seen his earlier works, and he is as amazing since long ago.
All the supporting actors looked so young as they have all become veteran actors whom we have seen in movies and dramas sometime or the other.

●MUSIC
Bgm was fine but practically no songs in between, there was a song in the end credit but I dropped that out.

●REWATCH
I already rewatch the action sequence and school events. The kissing scene as well (facepalm)

●FAV SCENE
Math exam

●RECOMMENDATION
This movie to for all who love high school action, and detective movies.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
I had seen a similar Indian movie (Main Hoon Na)where a military soldier goes to college pretending as a student to protect a high-ranked official’s daughter. At that time when any new student would get transferred I practically thought that this undercover thing could happen and my teacher said that it is possible but you can distinguish that student by their body language and face. Because actors put on a lot of makeup, to look young and in our schools, makeup wasn’t allowed. Anyways after that day I only kept aside those fantasies for movies/dramas where impossible things could happen.

light and comicical

HOW I CAME TO IT
I stumbled upon this drama accidentally when I was searching for a web show of few episodes. This drama had 3 episodes of 60mins each, not so long so yeah I gave it a shot and binged it all in one sitting.

PLOT VIEW
The storyline is pretty simple of the gender identity of ML, who pretends to be a girl who is a celebrity. So of course there are paparazzi and fan club wars and interestingly another celebrity is in love with his female version. All these plots make an interesting comedy when FL and ML become roommates and help each other. The usual female changing into a male is boring cause I saw a lot of those dramas. but being a celebrity is even a harder task. all the fan wars were pretty funny, but it turned into bullying was not good.

ACTING
Kim Sun Woong played the duel role nicely. If he did not come in the original form I would have considered him a girl too. Makeup artist definitely deserves applause for his great work.
Kim So Hyun as Jang Geu Rim looks playful and lovely in the role. Her acting felt raw and superb considering she was just 12 or 13 while this was made drama.

MUSIC
The music and overall BGM were smooth and soothing.

REWATCH
Rewatch is yes because this drama gives a warm fuzzy feels with its light comical tale. It is really good to boost up a mood.

APPRECIATION
With the compact number of episodes, there is no unwanted crap and the storyline is fast-paced. All the actors seemed immature which is in a good way to play their roles as teenagers of schools.

FAMILY MOVIE

●This body-swap drama was oddly hilarious and touching concurrently. With the daughter growing up, experiencing her teenage growth, she has all her insecurities with a new crush and obvious study problem because she is an average student. The father is trying ways to be there for her and eventually, the body swap brings them their problems and closer.
The father understands her daughter's feelings more deeply and even paves way for her to be with one she has a crush on. He also takes her dream of pursuing music seriously. The daughter also understands her father that how hard he works to save every penny.

●The concept is heavy, but the writers managed to keep it light with the comic scenes fairly well. And also the actors who put all the effort into playing roles of the opposite gender. the movie could have gone wrong, cause there are so many dramas and movies of the same concept which tend to bore you at some point. the comedy and drama is well balanced

●Ye Je Moon is an ace artist, he just blended in the character of a teen daughter perfectly. Jung So Min is very cool playing the role of daddy, Her body language and speech ability was fine. They would have worked hard that if the daddy was playing the role of what his reactions could be and they taking those same reactions in his acting. similarly for Jung So MIn also she would have taken a whole daddy speaking ability from Ye Je Moon and acted like him.

●I liked this movie and would rewatch it for a light mood.
It's a great family movie, which you can watch with your whole family and enjoy.

●Lastly, it also teaches when you are not in other shoes you don’t know their problems. This movie specifically shows what it is to walk in a daughter's shoes or the shoes of a dad. the end credit is touching it is really

First Love Forever Until Eternity

●ML is a topper student but playboy whereas FL is a shy but cheerful girl. FL is named Subaki which is the same as the ML surname, and this is how their first conversation happened at the first day of high school. The story is heartwarming with two of them falling in love eventually trying to figure out the meaning of true love. The story had the elements of a cliche plot like ML action are affection deprived which FL sees. ML encourages her to find her self-esteem and dream.

●Every scene is written beautifully and gives a warm feeling. It lives up to its Title LOVE FOR BEGINNER, as this movie takes on a journey of two inexperienced people falling in love where they both come to realize what true love is.

●This movie is not about an ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan but it's a movie about a girl with insecurities who wants to kiss a guy whom she wants to be with forever.

●Acting by everyone is amazing. Emi Takei (Subaki Hibino) is very adorable throughout. She just blended in the character with her charming face and strong-willed character. She separates self-respect and love which is admirable.
Tori Matsuzaka (Kyota Subaki) actually looked a bit older for a high schoolers but then I adjusted. He had that ruthless expression in the beginning but turns pleasant and goodish. He had portrayed the character very well

●Music is pleasant and songs amplify the mood of the scenes. It is soothing to the ears and visually appealing.

●This movie can be rewatched for it has an adorable story with excellent performance.
●Its recommended to those who love fluffy romance and believe in first love becoming forever.

●HOW I CAME TO IT
As soon as the movie started I was jittered, as to what's gonna happen next. And everything just discloses with a subtle bang of action sequence.

●STORY
This movie is about the power struggle happening in North Korea which involves the agents working in S.Korea. After the father is killed by the S. Korean security team, his teen son Ri Myung hoon" (Seung Hyun Choi) and daughter "Ri Hye-in" (Yoo-Jeong Kim) are sent to a North Korean detention camp as punishment for their father failed mission. But in reality, Ri Myung Hoon is lured in to become voluntarily become an agent and assassinate North Korean spies working in the south. He is given the identity of a high schooler where he becomes the target of bullies and after becoming seatmates with Lee Hye In. He worries for her as she shares the same name as his sister.

●PLOT VIEW
You might want o to compare it with any other North Korean spy movie, just go ahead but what you will miss is a great action-packed performance and the emotions of the young teenage agent. The storyline is similar to many other spy movies based on North Korea but the premise of high school and the ML attachment with a classmate, and even though there's never any romance per se, there is genuine chemistry. The story keeps progressing with the involvement of his sister and gives an enormous amount of ML sentiment.
I genuinely felt bad, these spies are also serving their country but what they get I in return abandonment, why is N.Korea so cruel. I literally got tears at the scene of refugees coming to S.Korea. But on the other hand, what is more, hurtful is these refugees creating problems in the host countries.

●ACTING
T.O.P as Ri Myung hoon is an excellent choice for the role with a vibe of a ruffian, and a slender muscled build for a swift agent.
His actions were precise and emotions astute.
All the other supporting cast were outstanding as well. Lee Hye In and Ri Hye In both give strong support to the ML.

●MUSIC
The music was good as per the scenes.

●REWATCH
I would definitely rewatch this for its amazing action.

●APPRECIATION
the action sequence was done was precise. the action director definitely deserves applause for it. the whole mood of the movie, the lighting in the scenes was had a withered vibe giving the emotion of ML Indirectly.

●RECOMMENDATION
For everyone who loves actions movies. As soon as the movie started I was jittered, as to what's gonna happen next. And everything just discloses with a subtle bang of action sequence.

Below expectation

●HOW I CAME TO IT
honestly speaking I was intrigued by the beauty of the poster and then the story so here I am writing the review after completing this drama.

●PLOT VIEW
We have all heard tales of mermaid in our childhood, and seen dramas also comprising of mermaid but this one drama took a different step and displayed a merman.
The story was written well with a new concept of a divine pearl in the human world with hilarious elements comprising in the lives of leads during cohabitation. Then there is a bad man who wants to steal the pearl from the merman. Everything was going on smoothly, but there was too much stretch on the events with unnecessary scenes and annoying character. And the end which is unsatisfying and feels like a cliffhanger. WHY? Why did the writers did that.

Ok I found that there is a season 2 for it but then its not about the further story but serves as a prequel. The review also says that the end is same so I dropped the idea of watching season 2. I actually thought that they will be happily ever after, whats the point of season 2, I feel writers should write another season for an explanation to the ending.
so in episode 6, the story goes into some ancient era and I felt like I dropping but I continued. you can skip episode 6, it feels like a part of season 2.

if you have watched Legend of the Blue Sea, while the show begins the opening track will get the feeling of LOTBS as the images are really similar. but don't confuse it with the story. LOTBS deals with a family of ML, but here it is solely about the spiritual pearl.

●ACTING
Bea Hayden as Shen Luo is very energetic and adorable. she is a girl with a friendly personality, helps everyone, and thus is loved by everyone. Bea portrayed the character amazingly well. her slender body and silky hair fit looked wow and
Feng Shaofeng as Wu Julan is a merman, prince of the mermaid is handsome. acting is good but in some scenes he seemed dazed with no eye contact to the other actors.

●APPRECIATION/CRITICISM
the CGI is visually appealing but when the actors are in close-up shots it seems weird and unnatural. when the Shen Luo and Wu Julan went to deep sea, there were fishes but it could be differentiated that they are in a swimming pool and deep-sea creatures are nowhere around them. this scene could have been done more appropriately.
Music is fine but not something staying in the memory.

●REWATCH
I wont rewatch this except for a few good scenes between the leads.
I recommend it to those who like interspecies romance but caution you might end up disappointed with the ending.

hard to finish

This movie is old but this is not the cause, I was unable to like it. I just decided to finish this considering I started it, to just tick it off my PTW. But completing this was a really tough task. It started off pretty well with an amazing first encounter and all the Blood Type facts but then it goes downhill in terms of story. The characters become annoying and annoying.
The typical showcasing of a man’s personality in respect ofo the blood type was assumed to be entertaining but it was not, at least for me. I didn’t get a single laugh. Maybe if I had watched it in the year 2005, when this was made it might have felt charming but NO, it doesn't have that chemistry between the leads that reach the heart. Not just the passion but grief part also there is no feeling.

The acting was slow and boring and they fail to impress me until the end and I don’t wanna watch it again.

Didn't click me

A documentary about mountain climbing precisely speaking Mt. Everest, the highest mountain peak of the world situated in Nepal in between the Himalayan range.

The documentary is about a mountaineering guide school that recruits students who are interested in mountaineering. These students get trained for four years into brave and experienced mountain guides. Every year they make paths, build camps from 5200m to 8400m above sea level. It's done so that climbers who want to participate in the summit are safe.

So I was very excited to see some exciting trekking, camping, mountain climbing, etc but everything went dull. The documentary had all these things but it went dull with no excitement, maybe the coldness of the region kept everyone compacted in their jackets. Even when everyone reached the top, I don’t see that happiness of reaching on the top, it was more like a journey and some travelers had this destination as a cross-point.
The production quality was good but the narration was pretty bad. there were no interviews or chats just a few seconds of people saying about their current state The most beautiful about this documentary is the scenic beauty of the place.
about the low rating is just because it didn't click me.
after watching this documentary I am going to watch some vlogs to get some serene beauty and narration, coz this one was really not my type.
