I completed Autumn's Concerto recently with my mdl friend gwenp29. I totally agree with this being a classic must watch! Vanness Wu and Ady An are such amazing actors! They have great chemistry and are really believeable as a couple in love. Though there are times in this drama where I wanted to break my computer screen at the stupidity of the characters especially the mother! But my anger always went away whenever Bin Xiao Xiao had a scene. He's just so darn cute! I would rewatch this drama just for him alone. The OST is beautiful, I've found myself humming the tune for days. I reccommend this drama with all my heart! Happy Watching :)

I marathoned this drama with my mdl friend Crazyinlove. I remember all the squeals of delight and tears that we shed over this brilliant story. Although the story isn't unique as there are a lot of dramas out there where girls pretend to be boys. What was unique was the characters and the chemistry that they all had. They made me laugh and cry and seriously pissed off. But I loved them more and more each episode. This drama is one of my personal favorites. Yoo Ah In and Song Joong Ki (or as me and crazy call them "sexybeast" and "peacock" were my favorite pairing. It's just a really good drama to get you out of a slump or to cheer you up on a bad day. I recommend this to anyone!
Happy Watching Everyone :)

I rented this movie on itunes when I went away on vacation. I remember watching the english version a couple years ago and found it pretty funny so I was interested in seeing if the chinese remake would be just as good. I don't know if it was the mood I was in at the time or just the movie itself but it completely bored me. I'm usually a huge fan of Andy Lau's movies but this one disappointed me. The acting was pretty flat, the comedy was just complete cheese (and not good cheese cause I do enjoy my fair bit of cheesy comedy) It's a good movie me to just waste time on but not one if you are looking for a good funny plotline.
That being said it's to each their own.
Happy Watching Everyone :)

hmm what to say about Heartstrings...I watched this shortly after I finished You're Beautiful and although they are completely different I couldn't help compare the chemistry between these two dramas. Park Shin Hye and Jung Yong Hwa's characters didn't have the same chemistry in Heartstrings as they did in You're Beautiful.
Anyway on to the actual drama. A lot of my MDL friends loved this drama while I found it pretty mediocre. Not that it's HORRIBLE, far from it. It's just that it's not something new. It's just a typical girl meets boy, boy is mean to girl, girl falls for bad boy, bad boy eventually falls for girl. The only thing unique about this drama is the OST. Which I adore! I'm a huge fan of CN Blue and I really enjoyed the indie/classical mix of this OST. I would rewatch this drama just for the OST alone and for Kang Min Hyuk who was absolutely ADORABLE!
All in all it was an entertaining watch I recommend this to anyone.
Happy Watching :)

I don't know how to discribe how amazing Yuuki was because nothing I say will do it justice. I watched this with my friend and we cried our eyes out the entire time it was a beautifully told story. Kamenashi Kazuya did a wonderful job portraying the life of Yuuki, he totally took over the screen, you didn't even notice that amazing actors like Oguri Shun and Fukiishi Kazue were featured. You couldn't help but cheer Yuuki on in his fight against his disease and cry when he was in pain.
This is one of those tearjerkers that are a must see. It makes you appreciate life and the people around you more.
I recommend this to anyone, Happy Watching! :)

This special was wonderful, it didn't need to be made but I'm glad it was! It provided fans such as myself with more backstory. It showed us how the relationship between Hyuga and Asahina came to be. If your a lover of Rich man, Poor woman then this special is a must for you to watch! I recommend it to anyone, Happy watching :)

This is the third Hana Kimi that I have watched and seeing as how big a fan I am of the Japanese version I went into this forcing myself not to compare to the other two, luckily the three versions are so different in style that I didn't. In fact this version almost took top version if it wasn't for a few moments that fell short for me. That all being said I shall now talk about the drama itself. I liked how this version showed more romance then the other two. It was cute and funny and you can't help but love it. This was also the only version where I couldn't decide which lead I wanted her to be with! I know she automatically gets with the first but I wanted her to be with second lead so badly. I liked Sulli but it was so obvious that she was a girl, she doesn't look like a tomboy like Maki and Ella did so it was hard to believe that she was suppose to be playing a boy. But I still enjoyed it and I was very surprised at Minho's acting skills, I hope to see him act more!
I recommend this drama to anyone! Happy Watching :)

Being a fan of the manga Sprout I was interested to see how this drama would go and if they would give this a better ending then in the manga. Sadly the ending was the same amount of disappointment, not saying that the ending isn't good it just I feel it falls flat compared to the rest of the show. That being said I would like to state that I did like this drama. It's a story that shows us just how hard and unsure first loves can be. The constant questioning of your feelings, the butterflies when someone mentions your crush, the pure innocence of young love. Was the acting great? No, infact far from it, most of the actors in this drama are fairly new to the art but their innocence helped make their characters many blunders at love more believeable. The story is not overly original but sadly not many J-Drama's are now a days, and at 20 mins per episode it is a good watch. It's young love, romance, cutesy, basically bubble gum that could have been made into a movie but chose to be a 12 episode package, but it's so cute you just have to keep watching. You end up falling for the characters and laughing at their mishaps. So what are you waiting for? Go spend the 2 hours and 40 minutes watching the drama and find out for yourself! I recommend this drama to anymore. Happy Watching :)

This movie is very harsh, there are no rainbows or butterflies when it comes to this film. It's about the harshness of life and love that shouldn't be. The characters are very dark and are sometimes hard to understand until a flashback happens later in the film. The love between the Jade and Takeko is dysfunctional but real, you can almost understand Jade's obsession with Takeko. The actress did a very good job playing women in love. And it was nice to see Ranie Yang play a more mature role rather then her cutesy innocent stuff. I recommend this film to anyone who is willing to give it a try.
Happy Watching :)

I watched this film because of it's american counterpart. I wanted to see the original since it's such a classic.
I did not enjoy this film at all, it's not that I don't like horror films I do or else I wouldn't have volunteered to watch it.
But this film is all over the place and very confusing. One moment your in the past, then the present, then the past again, the future and back to the present only to be brought to a future different then before.
The story is good but with all of the confusing time jumps I didn't have a chance to enjoy the film.
That being said it is a classic film so you should give it a chance, maybe you'll like it more then I did.
Happy Watching :)

And we're back once again with my favorite trio! Kingone, Mike He, and Rainie Yang.
Now I will be honest and say that I started this drama because I watched Devil Beside You and wanted to see more of the chemistry between the main leads.
I am fully aware that the two have nothing to do with each other. That being said I still like Devil Beside You more.
I loved Why Why Love up until episode 11 and then I wanted to die. The twist in the story happened way to late in the drama to be effective. If they were going to use that twist then they should have done in earlier in the drama. So because of that I dropped this drama at episode 11. However, because I am a person who has to finish a drama once I start it. I trucked through it and finally came to the ending.
I will give this a solid 8 overall because I did enjoy it up until the last episodes. Will I ever watch it again? Probably not, unless I'm doing a Mike He marathon.
Since I did enjoy the drama for the most part, I recommend this to anyone!
Happy Watching :)

Although not an original storyline. I did find this movie absolutely hysterical! I also rather enjoy the music. The mix of classical chinese with pop was amazing. It is now definate fave genre of mine.
I think the fact that Wang Leehom wrote, directed and created the music for this should be seen as amazing. For me it was nothing special just your typical romcom but I still found it enjoyable.
I recommend this to anyone.

Secret Garden and I had a love/hate relationship haha.
At times I thought this drama was fantastic at others I was like WHAT IS GOING ON! Although I did enjoy this drama I felt that the storyline was a little too all over the place for my taste.
I loved the main couple though, the were too cute for words even with all of their fighting. and Oska *sigh* amazing.
I did enjoy the acting of Ha Ji Won who has now become one of my favorite actresses and Hyun Bin's performance was to die for, several times I wanted to switch places with Jiwon haha.
Although not my favorite, this drama holds a special place in my heart.
I recommend this to anyone! Happy Watching :)

If I could describe this movie I would say it's one of those you watch when you want to waste time and still be slightly entertained.
It's not a horrible movie, it's just not overly memorable. It's one of those romance movies that the story is pretty much the same. Girl meets boy, they fall in love, they fight and break up, then some sadness comes where they miss each other, then they get back together.
The actors were good but the characters were rather boring.
Overall it was just a movie that I watched to waste time.
Maybe other people will enjoy it more then I did.

Happy Watching ^.^

I wasn't expecting much from this movie because often in my experience USA and Japan project movies aren't all that great. I was surprised by this one though. The story wasn't overly unique but how they played it out was. I enjoyed all the twists and turns it took for the main character to find her way back to who she wanted to be.
I did find it odd however that they put the main character in one relationship for most of the movie and then have it not work out and she ends up with someone else....Although I did like both Male characters I felt the transition could have been better.
Overall I really enjoyed this movie and I recommend it to anyone.

Happy Watching :)
