Together is better
Break from my drama, decided to just looked randomly at YouTube. Find this movie, since fit with the Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge so I just jump watch this. Haha...So basically the story its about Sakamichi Onoda (SO) who is an otaku, loves animation and a loner. One day Imaizumi Shunsuke (IS) saw SO riding his 'mom' bike (bike with little basket at the front) in the steep incline, that most people kinda afraid to ride the bike there, but SO can easily ride his bike there. IS became curious with SO & asked him to compete with him in that steep incline with the bet to join each other intended club (SO with his anime club & IS with bicycle racing club). Short story of course SO is losing. For obvious reason, SO with his 'mom' bike and IS with ricing bike & more over all the training IS had before.
But that competition make SO blood 'boiled' with excitement & he decided to join bicycle racing club too. What excitement do you ask? For someone who is lonely and have no friend like SO, the excitement is about someone to compete / join activity together, the excitement of finding friend & opponent in the same field together.
In the club, they do the test to join the club & find out that turn out SO has talent for bicycle racing. They begin training for the competition & SO enjoy every moment of it. While in the same time we also found out that IS has fear & trauma that he has to overcome.
I really like how they show us that in the end bicycle racing sport turn out not single person racing or problem. But turn out this about group & how to support each other in the group. How we need to just be patient to wait for our turn to shine and not selfish.
Overall this really good movie to teach us about team & support each other. But as Mluth wrote: "if you were looking for some romance this movie might not be for you."

Quite annoying dubbing
Chen Xing Xu & Landy Li of course I have to watch this... Haha.... Not expect much, but turn out I quite enjoy the drama.Usual story where the switched bride happen, the 'naughty' girl go to heaven realm & the 'good' girl go to evil realm. but of course turn out they both find the perfect match in each realm. The story gonna be bored with good girl go to heaven realm, but with the naughty one, the story become quite interesting....
As usual, our girl (Ye Tan (YT)) make a lot of trouble in heaven realm. But with that way, she seems to make her footprint & impression to our ML. And the same also happen with Qing Kui (QK) in the evil realm, where she also attract Chao Feng (CF) & Wu Dai (WD) with her charm & gentleness. As we usually said, opposite attract. Xuan Shang (XS) in heaven never really see such capriciousness like YT do, while CF & WD never really get such gentleness in evil realm.
The story become really interested after XS back to heaven realm. YT & XS become close & very romantic. In the same time I still grind my teeth to see the behavior of heaven emperor. Why he seems so bothered to see how close YT & XS are...? Sometimes with XIan XIa drama like this I have this big question: Why they really like to picture heaven as hypocrite, where they seem to do the right thing, but turn out they actually is so messed up & hiding something that dark even make the evil proud...?
From all that happen in this drama one thing that really bothered me is.... How fake & so dubbed Xuan Shang voice. It's like they cover the mike with sock or cloth and then start speaking. Haha....
Overall this drama actually nothing new, but still really enjoyable to watch.

weird relationship
long time quite curious with this drama, finally decided to watch it. Turn out quite good, but in my opinion, all the relationship begin with the weird tone.What I like:
+ Feng Ping (FP) is one of interesting woman in dramaworld. She's not damsel in distress that need to be saved by man. She has her own power & part in the world
+ FP & Tang Jia Nan (JN) relationship is quite mature given that JN sometimes quite childish.
+ A Jiu is really one funny character. He's really chill out character, it's like whatever JN did to him seems not be bothered him
What I don't too like:
- Another snake in the drama. The moment Lu Qiao (LQ) out, I can sense how snake this person is. The interesting part is when we see the terified face of JN when he see LQ. And what make me annoyed why JN like can't reject LQ at first.
- There is no clarity about the character JN. Is he actually just rich boy that like to play around or he actually have hidden character. We can see several time he actually like building something in his home. But what that's for...? Is it just for him to play around or he just want to create something....?
- Who the heck actually FP....? We get some hidden clue that his girl actually rich woman or at least have rich family. But we never really know who the heck is this girl. Why Fang Jun Hao (JH) & his dad seems to be so afraid of her brother. Who is he, how powerful is he...? We only get a glimpse of him in the end :(
- The moment JN know about FP power seems unimportant. They don't even bother to write full scene about this. We just later know that JN already know about FP power.
- The rush ending. I really want the meeting between both JN & FL family be longer & meaningful instead just the glimpse like this.
Overall this one good drama, without much angst, but at the same time much question mark too....
Now last before I close my review. Just skip read next part if you don't want to get spoiler. Now let me explain the weird relationship I mention above...
1. JN & FP - Of course from the first their relationship is one of the weirdest among pretend relationships. But it become weirder after JN remember. They just jump into relationship and with all the lovey dovey that couple do.... Yeah I know, there're hidden feeling that don't need to translate into Word or action, cause what JN & FP do for each other already tell us what we need to know, and we just happy when they finally do what couple normally do. But in my opinion it just weird way to begin relationships for real.
2. Qiu Tian & JH - This even weirder, but I just can't explain it. And JH is one stupid man. Even after he decided to finally confess, he still chicken out in the end & just let the confess hanging in the air.
3. An Yue Sheng (YS) & Tang Ming Xuan (MX) - I never really understand what is the genuine feeling of YS toward MX. Is it from the beginning YS actually already like MX, but he just need to sort his feeling for FP first, or what...? It just in 1 ep YS still feel bothered by MX action, but the other ep turn out no he's not really bothered by her & kinda have feeling for her.

Arata Kaizaki get the chance to re-life his life. He went back to the 3rd / last year of high school. Some of us will gonna said that the best time, some of us will said no not really.... But yeah High School sometimes is the best year to repeat your life. We still got our youth, the future ahead of us, the friends that we can make, etc....
But the concept of the movie quite unique and strange. Haha... Arata Kaizaki (AK) went back in time, but it's only like dream, where nothing actually change nor he can make memories to anyone around him. So yeah it's like a dream, he can experience it but also at the same time like watching the movie.
What I really like from this movie is the spirit AK gave us. He know he can't change anything nor make memories to anyone around him, but he still he still decided to make a difference. He still decided to make friends, help his friends change & gave them the courage that they need sometimes. The positive energy he gave really make a change. Even they don't remember him in the end, but his courage & motivational word stick with people around him. And after that he also finally get to know himself more & found his purpose, what he will do when he get back to his life.
What can be better! For me only 2 things can make this movie better & get the 9 ⭐️ that I originally want to give:
1. I would like see the photo. Haha... They took the pic at the graduation (I think) I really want to see that photo. Will AK be there or not...? Is he only disappear on people memory or also in the photo...?
2. The weird ending. The last sentence is really make me want to bite or scream or kick the director. Why...? Why...? Why...? They must leave us with that weird conversation...? Why not ending it with the meeting of AK & the new teacher...? Or at least gave us full sentence that go fade out still gonna be better... I just don't like the hanging ending like this....
Overall this one good movie to reflect your own life...

One of the good review
Read so many bad review I kinda feel have to write good one about this drama. Haha...Yeah this drama one of the shallow & fluffy rom-com with not much story to tell. Let's discuss drama....
Positive side about this drama:
+ Cute & fluffy rom-com without much angst that make our teeth grind with angry or whatever.
+ Good looking actor/ess that quite good at acting, at least they're not like drama student that just learn to act.
+ The persistence or stupidity of Lu Yu Heng in the way he looked for his 'little star'.
Negative side about this drama:
- If you expect e-sports aspect of this drama, hope nothing then. They only show a little bit of that aspect.
- if you also expect the journey of being a hanfu designer or the live streamer, also hope nothing then. Everything just beautiful in this drama. Lin Xiao Di (XD) had too easy journey, everything is make easy for her.
- The stupid & illogical Zhao Mu Ran (MR). He been rejected over & over & over through their life by XD, but ne never give up. Really want to knock his head for that stupidity. And the way he gave up his love is super duper easy. Like after all that time of persistence he just suddenly gave up his love for XD.
- The stupid XD. Which woman that casually just decided to move with random neighbor man that they barely know...? Answer is nobody... If me, I rather accept MR (since he is her best friend) offer when he offer his house & move with him, moreover if I'm not mistaken MR also offer his empty house for XD to live.
Overall this one shallow & fluffy rom-com you can enjoy.

At first I quite enjoying this movie, but toward the end, for me, it's like unfinished story. They close the curtain at very half-hearted story. The movie tell 2 story. (1) Chuck & Ashley story, where they join the competition. (2) story about Ashley's family & the mysterious red shoes. Unfortunately for us, they only finished 1 story, which about Ashley's family. While the Chuck, Ashley & competition story remain unfinished. More over about chuck's family business, it's like forgotten story, which they don't even bothered again in the end.
Quite happy about Ashley's family. But at the same time every thing happen too fast & unclear. Like the competition itself, we don't know how long the preparation time, rehearsal & the competition day itself, kinda don't make sense how long they give space between rehearsal & competition day, usually only 1 day before the D-day is rehearsal day., but no here. And also the problem between Celine & their dad. Earlier we can see how mad Celine to their dad, but overnight she seems forget about it & just casually talk to their dad. Yeah yeah I know, all for the sake of Ashley can get her happy ending. But it doesn't make sense how fast every thing happen in the end.
This could be one good movie, if only they complete all the story & have more logic timeline.

First time watching dark cooking movie. Haha... But yep this quite dark, but at the same time you can relate to what people in here think...Hunger talk not only about the hungry of our stomach, but also our ambition. How much are you hungry for success or be 'special'? how much are you willing to go for it...? Are you in the end gonna lose yourself to your hunger or in the end you'll gonna turn back to realize what are your initial ambition comes from? After that will you also gonna regret how far do you walk toward that goal, how much do you sacrifice for it...?
Haha... So many question that we can think when we see this movie...
In this movie we can see Aoy try to reach that success. At first we think that she'll gonna willing to sacrifice everything for it. But I'm really glad that she's never really lose her conscience in the way up & how in the end she turn her head back to realize how wrong her path is.
This is one good movie, that can give us lesson what we have to do to achieve our goal.

Really interesting to see how Shuai Jia Mo interacting with everybody else, especially Cheng Ren Qing (RQ) & Feng Bao Yu (BY). Also what really interesting is how in the end everything connected with each other, what we think unimportant & have no connection, in the end they prove us wrong...
RQ himself also very interesting being, that at first we don't know where is he stand for, bad side or good side. But upon time, we got the 'true self' of RQ & his difficulty. BY in the other hand also kinda interesting to see, we can see how until the end he actually still 'a coward' but how he build up his courage trough the drama is really something we must praise...
But actually until the end I'm not really understand why everything happen in the drama must happen & also why must at that time. Haha... Maybe if I can sum this in 1 sentence, it's gonna be... What ordinary 'stupid' people do to get justice & fairness from the rich person, in this case Fan Yuan.
Overall this diff mystery drama that maybe not everybody cup of tea. But still interesting enough for you to watch till the end. In my opinion, don't stop in the middle, because u'll gonna missed something in the end....

the best concept of time traveling
One heart warming movie about time traveling. For me this is the best concept of time traveling. You can only visit without doing much, everything happen is happen and you can't change it. What you can do, only know what's your mistake & correct it in your own timeline.What I don't too like is actually the story of Tokita Kazu herself. Although a little bit make more sense, but I think they kinda stretch it to fit the story. But her story also really interesting, how they take the future to help with present time.... Haha...
Overall this heart warming story about how we should seize the time before we left with something to regret.....

never expected ending
Another Xian Xia realm this year... Not so bad, but I don't think the best too... Ok let's discuss drama...What I love:
+ How good and handsome my Zhang Bin Bin... Haha... He play 4 character here, God of Moon, Lu Li, Luo Ge and Dark God of Moon and every character have different characteristic. He portrayed them beautifully, each with their distinguish characteristic & facial expression...
+ The chemistry between Vin Zhang & Xu Lu not so bad. Maybe not as a couple, but a very good friend that can turn into a relationship later on, that kind of friendship....
+ The handsome Riley Wang. Oh how much I love see Riley Wang as a bad guy. He really gives a good vibes as a bad guy. He once again has more expression as a bad guy than when he play good guy, which like has no expression for me...
+ The best of all.... The ending.... Oh I love how they give us 2 alternative ending. From Luo Ge & Liu Shao point of view. But I think I more like Liu Shao ending. Because it's more make sense & for once finally they make the women do the sacrificing instead always the man... Haha...
What not so good:
- The usual story that easy to forget. Leave not trace in my mind in the future I think. Give bumping a little due to the 2 alternative ending.
Overall this just another drama for us to watch....

Blind man guide blind man
If I have to make conclusion about this drama in 1 word, Blind man guide blind man it is. Haha... Let me explained:This drama actually tell the story about depression & family. What happen if someone who is depressed meet another depressed man that have a sick mind. So instead a group of depressed man/woman find someone that can give light to their path, they met another person that can influence/convince them more than anything, that nothing better in this world so let make the dead something 'useful/meaningful'.
Their concept of is actually really interesting. They did the last think they want, and then did the next person last wishes. At first seems like a serial murderer, but unfortunately hide something more sad in the harsh reality...
But I really like the last talk Xu Hai Yin give to the person that behind all of it. I'll not gonna talk much in here, you should watch this to know more, because it's one of the beautiful concept that wrap the whole thing. In the end what the depressed one really need is only the support of their love one, someone who understand them & extra special if that comes from family, because in the end family always matter...

This one very interesting concept of story, but unfortunately very bad execution. Very confusing between the cat and human. And the introduction also really really sucks & confusing.Maybe gonna be better if they first show us our 3 main character as cat that suddenly become human when night come or they can only take human form in the bar or maybe you can put the cat ears above their head that no human can see, than like this. We can't quite catch the grip of them as cat, cause we never really saw them as cat. And I can't quite understand does any cat can take human form or just them and some cats...??
The summary told us: "After their "butler" gets hurt, 3 mysterious cats start running a bar to make a living." But in the drama we can't really see that money. How they give the money to their human or how they purchase everything with their money for examples....
The most interesting thing in this drama is only how cute & adorable they're act as cat....

Another good short drama
This drama fall into the good short drama. This has complete story, there're beginning, middle and end. The cast act is also quite good, they're not too lousy but sometimes also not the best. But at least not looked like work of the drama student.But in the end this still the short drama. There're some aspect that feel rushed especially toward the end the more rushed it feel. Even though I quite like the chemistry between our main lead, but their feeling also feel a little bit rush, like suddenly they already falling in love with each other.
But overall this is one of the good short drama that worth your time to watch it....

Thank God this only the short drama. To make things even worse, the actor/ess acting also like student in the drama school. They can't make you believe what happen in the drama itself.
If you just want to spend your time watch something as a background this can be your choice. If not, just choose something else...

Mature love story
Long time not watch one mature love story like this. Really happy can found & watch this drama.What I really love about this drama is how our couple, Xu Qing You (QY) & Mo Ling Ze (LZ) handle jealousy problem. They didn't do emotional outbursts or childish act, just a little sulking that a little bit cute... & I also really love how easy they apologize if they have done something wrong to other person, no need to wait for the man to apologize first or give action.
I also really love how the relationship between Fang Qi (FQ) & Xu Wei (XW) develop. It's really not easy to break through brother - sister relationship between them. But of course a little attentive and sincerity never useless. And I also really love how XW really respected FQ as a human being, not only as a woman. His word that express FQ should become herself no need to pretend, even for the sake of his friend, is really something that we must give big applause.
With all the positive side of this drama, I still think this drama have something that not complete yet. I really want to know the relationship between QY & his dad. His story ended only with his mom suicide, what happen with his dad...? Why did he go to prison? What was his mistake...? Is his dad still alive...? See... so many question that have no answer....
Overall this one mature drama that you can't miss...
