" Shall we do it again " or " Love, Again " was lacking intensity really.

The story, or the main idea of it at least, was interesting and maybe the movie would have been too. The big twist in the end was probably the best part of the wholde movie and kind of corrected my view on the female lead, as, at first, she was annoying and obviously taking adventage of the male lead. The second couple lacked chemistry and it didn't help with the entertainment of the movie. The performances were good though, from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, four out of ten.

" Hot Gimmick : Girl Meets Boy " is not for everyone.

When it comes to the artistic part, the movie had an interesting cinematography, but, most of the time, it gave me motion sickness, as the camera zoomed in and out, the characters kept running and changing positions too suddenly and quickly. The story was also too thinly spread and the way it was presented it made it confusing. So, it was hard to enjoy it as the whole theatrical approach distructing. The performances seemed good though.

So, overall, four out of ten.

" Pegasus Market " was a roller coaster of a drama.

The story was okay at first, seemed a bit predictable though. And, of course, the ending was exactly that. However, the drama had a feel good, heartwarming plot with some interesting characters. The whole market was a crazy ride, with kings, sweet little girls, an odd hillarious oompa loompa like group of men and an even more crazy ceo. And even though some acts were a bit over the top, the overall result was good. The performances were pretty great too from everyone in the cast, but especially the kids.

So, overall, seven out of ten for Pegasus Market.

" Itsuka, nemuru ni tsuku hi " was, surprisingly, a good drama. Though I haven't watched the original korean version, this one was good enough. The pace was quick, but they managed to fit in just six episodes the whole story and the cases with her friends and family were well presented. The twist in the end, although there were some hints here and there, was unpredictable and the ending was bittersweet. The performances from all actors and actresses were really good, especially from the leading lady.

So, overall, eight out of ten.

There is a big hype about this movie, and for a good reason. Unlike those popular films that those days create a buzz because of the action plot and the big names, Parasite is more about the social message that it wants to pass through than a likable story that will appear to the masses.

So, overall, Parasite is good. If you like movies about real people, that are not afraid to show the raw reality and social injustice, than watch this one. It is a roller coaster of emotions, with lighter, more comical moments and more thrilling, suspenceful moments. And the film combines them masterfully and everything works well together. The performances were top notch as well. The story, finally, was well paced and interesting.

" A summer day, your voice " was an okay movie.

The couple was really cute together and their story was touching and emotional. The performances were excellent too, which helped a lot with the movie. Especially the leading lady was pretty great and she had chemistry with her partner.

However, the story was pretty basic and predictable. Even though it was emotional, the scenes were cliche and melodramatic. The love story didn't have much time to progress either.

So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

" Nagi no Oitoma " was nice. It was a slice of life and the character development of the leading lady was pretty good.


The story had a nice progress. Although the romance was messy, as they didn't handle the love triangle very well. However, the love story's result was quite realistic and unexpected. The pace of the drama was pretty nice too. Finally, the performances were really good especially from the leading lady.


So, overall, seven out of ten, as the story just lacked something in the end.

So, why two out of ten stars for this movie? Because the performances were really good so I had to give them that.

However, the story was ... hmm ... complicated. It didn't make sense most of the time and when it finally did, it just wasn't worth the two hours plus that were wasted watching it. Some of the mature scenes were, I guess, there to make it more edgy, but, for real, there were just unnecessary. The action scenes were okay and the visuals really nice, but they seemed to focus more on them than the story, which was just thinly spread through this lengthy film.

So, overall, two out of ten.

This review may contain spoilers
One Page love is a mini series with an almost cute story.

The main character is still stuck to her past, as she can't get over her ex boyfriend, who has just disappeared. Meanwhile, her best friend is in love with her and wants to make her happy. While trying to reunite with her ex, she meets another guy, a popular photographer, who, surprise surprise, falls for her as well. So, the story pretty much is one of the many others out there, with a cute and innocent girl attracking every guy in the cast. However, the ex boyfriend story was kind of interesting and unique, and kept the drama interesting till the very end. Plus, the ending was happy, at least for some of the characters.

The performances, in addition, were very good from everyone. And the main couple had chemistry. So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

Boy for rent was a cute drama.

The story was predictable, but easy to follow, light and fluff. The romance was cute as well. Although, I have to admit that I didn't like the couples that were formed at first. However, the ending was nice and therefore, the drama concluded well, wrapping up everyone's story.

The chemistry between the couples was good as well. The performances were decent as well. Those two helped witht he development of the story a lot. But, the final episode was a bit over the top.

So, seven out of ten.

If you enjoy shoujo school romance drama, then you'll like Konna Mirai wa Kiitenai. At first, there are some elements that may put you off, like the poster (1) and the main story (2). Okay, the idea behind the whole drama was odd, but the drama focuses on the girl, who is in love with her best friend, but she is confessed by another boy.

Overall, the love triangle was cute. And the love story was interesting to watch. However, the ending, with the whole time traveling theme was confusing. However, the pace of the drama was nice, the story fresh and entertaining, and the performances enjoyable.

So, seven out of ten.

One thing that I appreciated about this drama was the ending. Put your head on my shoulder didn't follow the patern of the other chinese drama that start so good and they just have an open and unsatisfying ending. No, this one gives you closure. And, overall, it was cute and sweet. The story, even though it's not anything original and it was full of cliche, was nevertheless interesting, at least most of it. However, the side stories were just there to fill the gaps, as the side couples had no chemistry. But, as the main couple were over the top good together, I guess that doesn't really matter. Another good points about this drama : good performances, funny moments, adorable leads.
So, seven out of ten.

The movie is a bizzare one. The concept was not easy to spot right from the begining. I guess it would have been better if I've watched the drama first, as this one combined everything in such a small length. So, at times, the story got confusing and not easy to keep up with.

That said, the plot was kind of interesting. The main character, Ito, and his "teacher", the woman who was trying to hold on to her past, were two different people and still, almost similar. In the end, it was pointed out that it was a battle between the two of them, at least from the guy's point of view.

In addition, the performances were really good from everyone in the cast.

So, five out of ten.

Familyhood is an entertaining movie that moves the audiance towards the ending. However, the begining was a bit weak. We are presented with an arrogant actress who sees her career coming to an end, her relationship shuttered and her chances of having a family lost. The most, actually, interesting part was the student's story. The movie starts to offer some solid entertainment after the two women start living together and they form a family. However, it goes back to a weak downhill when the leading lady ignores the girl and focuses on her career. That's when the best performances are introduced and the movie hits a darker point. The ending, though, was satisfying. And the character development really good. So, seven out of ten.

The movie was nice to watch because the fourze characters were back and they were having an adventure. But the story was so so. It was predictable and kind of cringy, especially towards the end. But, if you loved kamen rider fourze, you'll like this one, as the familiar characters are staring in it. However, otherwise, the action was just enough to keep things going and the final result lacked intensity. Finally, the performances were good from everyone and the fighting scenes well managed. So, overall, five out of ten, because the story wasn't really enjoyable.
