The legend never ends!!

Kenshin met his master, and I never thought he was still alive. Don't ask me why I killed the man, but well, Kenshin had to learn a new technique to defeat his enemies. However, to do that, he had to confront his own problems, and with the help of his master, he did it.

Kaoru survived, no surprise there. Obviously, the first thing she does after waking from her sleep is follow Himura. As if he doesn't have enough problems, Aoshi is trying to kill him. For what? The title of "the strongest." Kenshin needs to preserve his energy to take down Shishio and his skilled friend, not deal with this. But it seems it had to be done for Aoshi to have a new start.

Sagara Sanosuke was awesome — funny, always helping, and never giving up. And Seta Sojiro, with that damn smile on his face, fighting like it's nothing. No feelings, detached, stubborn; felt like he was a robot. At the end, he shut down when an 'error' occurred.

The final battle between Kenshin and Shishio didn’t feel like a fight, more like a graceful sword dance. It was entertaining seeing more join and gang up on Shishio, but he was still breathing fire. Fujiwara Tatsuya was the best — his acting, the bandages they put on him; he portrayed the most evil character excellently.

Overall, the movie was way better than the first two, very exciting and all. But the female characters felt like they were lacking, missing the feminine touch that should have been brought to the movie. Still, it's my favorite from the Rurouni Kenshin Saga till now. Got 2 more to go, and we'll see!

Wish there was more?

I don't watch movies a lot, but I decided to remedy that by downloading several.
Didn’t know from where to start, I choose this one featuring Vivian Sung, a particularly funny actress who never fails to make me laugh.

The movie begins with an adult Truly, the perfect ordinary office worker, overhearing her colleagues mocking her. She goes home and discovers an old book from her high school days, and suddenly, our beloved Vivian Sung appears as the young Truly. The entire movie unfolds as a flashback of her youth, allowing us to understand how she navigated high school as an ordinary girl, not particularly studious, with two best friends, a crush on Andy Lau, and an interest in Ouyang, the school's most popular guy.

The movie was a cliché, but oddly I didn’t mind it at all. While every element seemed familiar from old series or movies, I watched it as if I had never encountered the plot before. It was really funny as expected, and I wasn’t bored at all.

The main leads were really cute together, they had great chemistry and I enjoyed how their friendship developed—studying together, going out together, taking on missions, skating together, you name it. It really made me nostalgic for high school vibes.

Overall, it was a good movie, well worth the time. The positive vibes left me with a sense of satisfaction, and I have no regrets about watching it.

Best time loop I've ever seen!!

This is hands down the best time loop drama I've ever seen. Not a single dull moment; I was hooked from the beginning, but what truly kept me glued was the resolution. How would everything unfold in the end?

The plot was compelling, delving into the origins of the time loop, the events that triggered it, and how the main leads would approach it as detectives. Their bravery and intelligence in tackling the case were remarkable. I particularly appreciated their methodical approach—identifying suspects, verifying their stories, and unraveling the mysteries one by one. The evolution of their strategies from the initial discovery of the problem was impressive, and their relentless pursuit of a solution kept the story engaging.

Bai Jing Ting and Zhao Jin Mai, the main leads, delivered stellar performances. Their teamwork was seamless, and every supporting actor contributed effectively, adding depth to the plot.

Despite not being in the mood for dramas initially, I still enjoyed it, although perhaps not to the fullest. Nevertheless, it was undeniably worth the watch and time invested. The cherry on top was the satisfying happy ending!

In summary, a must-watch with a captivating plot, solid performances, and a resolution that hits all the right notes

Avec des si on refait le monde

Just where do I begin?
I was confused at the start, and that confusion stuck with me till the end. This was a recommendation, so I went in blind – no idea what it was about, and I don't like reading synopses. They can spoil the fun, you know?

This movie wasn't anything like I expected. It was poetic?! The cinematography was very different, almost like they give you some clips and tell you to let your imagination run wild. It was slow, silent, and reddish!!

A slow burn, kind of boring, but not in a negative way – it's hard to explain. Silent because there wasn't a ton of dialogue; we just watched them act with music in the background, very mesmerizing!! And reddish, for aesthetic reasons, giving it a hot vibe.

So, it's about two lonely married people being cheated on by each other's spouses. They discover this as they live next door. They become close, and what their relationship could be named, I don't really know – friends, lovers, absolutely not, maybe an association for cheated-on people? They were just two lonely individuals keeping each other company and trying to understand how it led to this. Obviously, they slowly fall in love.

Now, the end left me very confused because I had so many questions!! But still, the movie was brilliant. I did get the idea of 'Missed opportunities' and the 'Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

From episode 1 to 16, this series had me captivated from the beginning to the end.

From episode 1 to 16, this series had me captivated from the beginning to the end.
It kept my mind busy and active, throwing unexpected twists and revelations that constantly surprised me. The story was gripping, exceeding my expectations for a thriller-mystery.
The cast delivered outstanding performances, portraying their characters perfectly.


One accident brook hell loose, unfolded with numerous misunderstandings and secrets surfacing after 21 years. An accident that wrecked families with no way back, some died and some kept carrying the burden.

From where to start??

Shin Ha Kyun as “Dong Shik”, my first time seeing his work and it was worth it, he delivered a performance that left me speechless, a broken, mad man, with nothing left to lose, with sole purpose, solving his sister’s case.
Han Ju Won a righteous inspector with a sense of duty, and justice. His transformation from a rigid Seoul inspector to a more grounded and realistic one was a fascinating evolution. He changed completely, knowing there was more to the case than what he thought.

The bromance between the two main leads added a compelling dynamic, shifting from initial animosity to a partnership that proved highly effective. The rest of the cast, both the "good" and "evil" characters, contributed excellently to the narrative.

The series evoked strong emotions, and while the ending left me teary-eyed, I wished for more. Having been on my PTW list for a long time, it was truly worth the wait and time invested.

Forensic pathology is work for the future!

As a newcomer to Japanese dramas, Unnatural was definitely worth a try. It doesn't just get into the medical and forensic stuff but also digs into mystery and investigation.
Being a medical drama addict, I found the abundance of information fascinating. Were they asking me to take notes, cuz I was about to do it!! This was my first experience with a forensic-focused show, and I was genuinely amazed. It went beyond just determining the cause of death; each episode presented a standalone story about the victims and their lives, making it emotionally moving.
The cast was refreshingly portrayed, with Dr. Mikoto Misumi laughing off everything, emphasizing that there's no time to despair. I admired her intelligence.
Nakado-sensei, always wearing the 'Don't speak to me' face, investigating his girlfriend case, with the mysterious killer and the surprising resolution, had me hooked. Kube, the part-timer always ready to help, Shoji, the crazy friend, and Director Kamikura, always supportive, formed a cohesive team thriving in UDI, which felt like their home.
In fact, I believe the series left me wanting more. I truly hope for a second season or perhaps they could turn it into a saga, as unnatural deaths just don't seem to end.

Unforgettable Journey ?

This show completely captivated me from start to finish. I mean, 50 episodes in just 4 days?🤭
It's safe to say it became a part of my daily routine, and I never once got bored or lost interest. It absolutely deserves all the praise it gets💯

Sure, I was a bit confused by all the names and clan references at first, like with any Wuxia drama🤷 But once they delved into the flashbacks, everything clicked into place, and I was hooked.

The plot was just... wow. I can't even find the right words to describe how much I enjoyed every second of it😍
The cinematography, the epic battles, the gorgeous costumes – it was all top-notch. And the characters? Don't even get me started. I felt like I knew each and every one of them personally, thanks to the incredibly detailed storytelling.

And let's talk about the actors – every single one of them delivered outstanding performances that added so much depth to the story. From the seasoned veterans to the newcomers like Sizhui and Jin Ling, each one of them found a special place in my heart❤️

But all good things must come to an end, and sadly, The Untamed is no exception. I'll definitely miss Lan Zhan's stoic demeanor and Wei Wuxian's mischievousness. But hey, at least there's a Special Edition to look forward to!😌

Speaking of the end, I can't help but wish for a bit more closure. Like seeing Jiang Cheng and Wuxian finally making up, or Wei Wuxian taking on the role of the uncle. It would've been nice to see those loose ends tied up.

Oh, and can we talk about the flute music? I've always been obsessed with it in Wuxia dramas, but "Wuji" took it to a whole new level✨That tune is permanently stuck in my head now, and honestly, I'm not complaining😂

In short, The Untamed was an unforgettable journey that I'll cherish for a long time, and I'm so grateful to have experienced it🤍

FUUUN FUUUN!!??

It's always been on my PTW list, and finally watching it made me realize how much I missed old K-dramas🤔
FUUUN FUUUN!!
I think "Jealousy Incarnate" is the first Korean rom-com I've seen with 24 episodes, and I managed to finish it quickly, a first for me! Usually, I lose interest around episode 16 or put the show on hold altogether.
But not this time with this one. It was chaotic in the best possible way, everything had me bursting into laughter because I was simply stunned 🤭Friends sharing the same taste in women, and two ladies working together having identical preferences in everything from clothes to men, which inevitably leads to conflicts over a daughter.

I won't deny that there were moments where boredom crept in, questioning where the story was headed or why certain problems were introduced, so I ended up fast-forwarding through some parts🤷‍♀️Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, and it brought light to those days.

The ending was fantastic; I couldn't have asked for more. The cast was outstanding, from the leads to the supporting actors. I found myself missing some of them, and seeing them in this drama brought me immense joy.

LOVE DA NE❤️❤️

I have many things to tell, but fell blank at the same time.
Tokyo bandwagon was so good. Those family drams when you fell at home, you feel warm and at ease🥰
The plot was great, the deceased Granny narrating every time, made me more close to the story. They are a small family, living in their own cocoon, and each episode, some new problems occur, so they always meddle and try to solve it.

Started this for Kamenashi Kazuya, he was in Gokusen, but got hooked with the lively vibe and the great other actors. Every one played a big role in this drama, everyone was shining in it own way.
Ganato, AO’s father, held a dear place in my heart, he was playing the role of the careless father, but he always knew the small details of his children, always helping in the background.

I loved how he held each time a mini concert, the singer got a beautiful voice and I already have a favorite OST there – Got to search for it latter-.
The ending was pretty much satisfying. Cried, laughed, felt LOVE... A swirl of emotions!!

Will there ever be better days?

I started this movie without knowing anything about it, except for it being the highest-rated one on MDL. Naturally, I was expecting the best, and I wasn’t disappointed. It's one of the best I have ever watched so far.

The movie unfolds as a sad, dark, and consuming story. Chen Nian, a studious student with a mom working a bit too far away, lives alone with debt creditors knocking on her door regularly. Despite her hardships, she has one goal – to enroll in university. But, will they leave her be? No, there had to be a rich troublemaker with some issues, bullying the poor Chen Nian.

Somehow she meet Bei Shan, who becomes her protector. They start going to and from school together, with him always in her shadows, ensuring no one can hurt her. Everything seems fine until the bully decides to push Chen Nian to her limits.

The plot was awesome, and I loved how the main leads hit it off. The living dynamic and their journey towards healing were well portrayed. Every little thing they did together created sweet moments.

The acting was amazing; they expressed their feelings in a way I cannot ignore and portrayed the characters well. Jackson Yee, considering his age that year, was surprisingly mature, displaying wisdom, care, love, and sacrifice.

I'm not over this movie yet and, as always, wished to see more. It was worth the time!

Fast forward ⏩

At first, the story was fine and funny as I got to know the cast. However, around episode 18, it became harder for me to continue, so I put it on hold for a month😬

I decided to pick it up again because I found out Leon Lai was in 'The King’s Avatar,' and I didn't want to see him in both dramas. I ended up fast-forwarding through the remaining episodes🤭

One thing that saddened me was Alen Fang’s death; in my mind, there was no happy ending for him.
(The fact that I watched two of his dramas, and he died in both of them)

The ending was good, with the characters living their happy afterlife, accompanied by Zi Lu and Pei Shan.
Oh and I loved one OST as usual😆

Laughed, Cried, Loved: A Feel-Good Ride Through Love and Loss

The start was solid, with the male lead grappling with the loss of his wife and the female lead, a doctor, facing a trial due to a misdiagnosis.
She needs the male lead to sue the patient's husband for her advantage.
However, he won't cooperate, having experienced the pain of losing a loved one. This already set up a funny situation that got me curious about what would happen next.😁

She tries seduction, then intimidation, and it always ends in a humorous way. Despite knowing he's married and mourning, she persists, going all out, never giving up on seducing him. She keeps pestering him until she obviously falls for him too.

Their personalities and constant bickering were adorable. I couldn't get enough of their dynamic. The story made me smile, laugh, and even shed a tear.
It was genuinely good, and the ending was wonderfully sweet. Loved the overall vibe.

Rurouni kenshin

Heard a lot about these movies, and they've been recommended a ton, so I decided to give them a shot. At first, I was a bit lost because I didn't bother with the synopsis. Turns out, in the current era, Hitokiri Battousai has ditched the assassin life and is now on a journey to help those around him.

In Tokyo, there's a businessman hooked on opium made by a female doctor, Megumi, who wants to take over the world or something. There's this old samurai, "Saito Hajime," working for the police, hell-bent on stopping the businessman and uncovering the copycat killer who's claiming victims in the name of Battousai. So, he seeks out Kenshin, and this dude's past is basically tailing him everywhere, but Kenshin's not interested. He ends up meeting Kaoru, who lets him crash at her dojo.

The plot was solid – Kenshin battling his past, trying not to revert to his Hitokiri ways. I haven't read the manga, so I can't compare, but I think it holds up well. Asked for some good fight scenes, and they delivered big time. It was a blast.

Enjoyed the whole thing, loved Takeru's acting – missed seeing him around. It was cool to see him in a different light.

Roof Confessions

This drama unfolds with the Mikkoto contemplating suicide on the school roof, only to be met with an unexpected confession from her teacher Jin Haiba proposing to date before her perceived demise.
Despite the weirdness I felt at first, the storyline evolves beyond typical teacher-student romance, revealing the complex character of Haiba Jin.
Initially perceived as careless, his actions (Flirting and stalking 🤭) take on new meaning when seen through a different lens, revealing a thoughtful and caring side that adds depth to the storyline.
Mikkoto's character is equally compelling, portraying innocence, kindness, and a strong analytical mind. The dynamic between the two characters is well-crafted, making them a match made in heaven.
Their journey, marked by healing and understanding, adds depth to the storyline.
It was cute seeing them trying to be together, but they knew their limits and waiting for her to graduate.
The ending hit me with some real feels, leaving that bittersweet sadness. I was itching for more after graduation😅
Truly, this review do not do justice to this drama, the screenwriters were really smart about the way to broach very hard subjects, but they still did in a light way, always lifting the mood and adding humor in right places.
