If I may analogize this movie with food, then I'll say that this movie is a high fiber food which hard to digest (^_^;) Actually, the whole story is not that hard to digest, but some of the scenes sometimes left me wondering its meaning (^_^;)

First of all, I’ll say that this movie worth a '18+' sign because almost half of this movie talk about night life and free lifestyle. Other than that, hatred becomes the main issue in here. Because of Zhang Yang's hatred toward Xu Yi, many tragedy occurs. There's also issue of greed and arrogancy.

This movie portrays hate, lust and greed better than it portrays love. I feel that they focused on showing how the negative nature of human can be a disaster to other human. I don't even understand how in the end Zhang Yang and Li Er have a mutual feeling. I don't know either why Left Ear become the title, since that topic is very few showed (^_^;)

IKEMEN PARADISEEE!!! Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→

The story is mostly about racing. I didn't much understand about that world, but I love the driver (^o^) It's sad that those brother have a bad relationship because of jealousy, but I love the ending. The mechanic team was so cool when they're repair the drowning car. And in my opinion, Mackenyu really suitable to play the antagonist or cold role (^_^) As for Higashide Masahiro, he can be anything, he’s just too cool (^o^)

Honestly, I don't really get what's the point of this dorama (^_^;) For me, if you have unrequited love, you just have 2 choices. Fight for it, or let it go (don't you ever sing while read 'let it go'! XD). Not a single thought to find a substitute for that unrequited love, especially with that physical need substitute (>.<)

Well, it's different for each people, but this kind of dorama is not really into my taste. I just a little bit happy with the anti-mainstream ending ... well, at least for me it's anti-mainstream (^_^;)

Regardless of the storyline and the absurd theme (for me), the casts are playing great. They’re act naturally and know what they should do.

I hate watching a movie which based on novel. Why? Because I can't understand! (^o^;) Really hard to understand (^o^;)

I'm not fully agree with the synopsis I get, because for me this movie is more than that. It's about traumatic event, high school bullying, hatred and adult tyranny. It's about sin, you reap what you sow. It's a little bit so confusing, but I'm amazed of how the character have a link one and another.

Oh! The most entertaining scene is when Mackenyu playing with that "rocket" (^o^) Geez, I laugh hard o(≧▽≦)o

Nakatsuuuuuuu ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡
I love Nakatsu sooo much in this dorama. Actually, this is the dorama that makes me fall for Ikuta Toma (o^ ^o)

For me, there's no flaw in this dorama. The story is good, they showed enough detail. The casts act are good, no overacting or whatsoever. I enjoy watching from the very first minute to the very last second, and for many times re-watched (^o^) The other legendary dorama for me (^_^)

Kawaii...!!! This movie is so cute, funny and heart warming at the same time. Nice story, nice casts and acting, but for me the ending is too fast. I don't really see the changing of Kyouya's feeling (and the reason behind that). As always, I'm not finish read the manga yet (^_^;)

A lot of scenes have squeezed my heart. And not only once my eyes got teary. That moment when Kyouya lie to Erika before they went on study tour. Really. That scene really hurt my heart and my eyes got teary in instant. But I'm glad Erika pour a glass of water into Kyouya's face. That boy deserve it to cooling down himself. Then hmm..I love when Kyouya running all over Kobe to search for Erika. That panic and confused face of him tells us a lot about his feeling for Erika.

Okay, I must admit, the first thing that makes me stumbled in this series is the comet name, WTF 666 ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆
At first, this is a usual rom-com with a slice of supernatural and fantasy thing. I don’t know for anyone else, but for me it’s a new thing. I love how they have an animal trait with them and act like it when they in a bad mood.

Overall, the story is quite light, fluffy, cheesy and entertaining, the conflicts that arise are not so oppressive, except the last conflict where Fluffee needed funds / sponsors, which affected the relationship between Wang Chen and Miao Yu. But what is a relief, the conflict is not made protracted and can be resolved properly. Another conflict which was quite suffocating was when Miao Yu's company was taken from him. But that made him join Wang Chen and make their relationship better.

Indeed, there are several plot holes in this drama, one of it is how Wang Chen and Miao Yu have feelings for each other. They always clash from the beginning, then finally they like each other, but this process is not very visible, so the plot feels suddenly jumped.

And finally the part that I like the most in this drama. That was when Wang Chen was invited by Ray to his mother's birthday party and she was humiliated by Ray's friends and even his mother at the party. Just when I felt that conditions could not get any worse, Wang Chen fell in front of the people who humiliated her. But, like a knight in shining armor, Miao Yu came and took Wang Chen away. The look he threw at Ray really made me happy and melted Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→

The acting of all the casts is very natural. I especially liked the acting of the female lead. She is so cute, sweet and shy, but she is so attractive and energetic when turning into Coffee. The changes are so visible and in my opinion she is great because she can play both of them well.

The male lead also acts well. He is fit to do the arrogant CEO role, and how he fought with FL at the beginning of the story seemed natural. However, unfortunately his acting skills are not supported by the spirit of an animal that possesses him when he is upset. He just needs to be silent or depressed. Well, because cats are like that (⁀ᗢ⁀)

The other casts also played very well. I like the role of San San the most, because she reflects a female friend that everyone must have, noisy, always curious, gets sad when we're sad, gets happy when we're happy, gets angry when we're angry, and at some level interferes with her best friend’s life (o˘◡˘o)

First of all, I didn’t read the novel, but I like this movie better than the series (Love O2O). Why? Because the series feels too prolix for me. Indeed, the movie have a lot of scene-cut, conflict-cut and some different plot and character role, but in my opinion, it’s not cut the essence of the whole story. The whole story not different from the series, but it’s more comfort to watch. For me, at least ( ´ ω ` )

They show us the college student life in dormitory. I’m especially love when there’s a blackout in the dormitory (o^▽^o) The brotherhood of Xiao Nai and his roommate indeed didn’t showed enough, because well, this is a movie not a series. The acceptance of Xiao Nai friends to Wei Wei is not clearly shown too. But truthfully, those didn’t quite disturb me.

The casts are doing great, I prefer the casts in this movie than the drama. Angelababy is better to portray Bei Wei Wei than Zheng Shuang. First, better in a physical appearance; because I personally think that Zheng Shuang is too skinny in the drama. Second, have a better ‘Wei Wei’ character; which she can be girly and tough at the same time. I personally think that Zheng Shuang act a little too girly and too sweet, but still something missing with it. Third, better acting at the kissing scene (* ^ ω ^) Well, maybe I can’t explain this well enough, but I feel that Angelababy act more into the character than Zheng Shuang in the kissing scene.
It’s not like I hate Zheng Shuang, she have a positive trait too, but I’ll wrote it down on Love O2O’s review, if I can finish it (because I hold watching that drama).

Now for the Male Lead, Jing Bo Ran. At first, I thought Yang Yang is better than him (refer to the look of the face LOL), but as the movie run, I made a conclusion that he is as good as Yang Yang. One minus point of the Male Lead for me is the white hair he used when playing Xiao Nai at the game. That didn’t fit him.

First, I watch this drama because of Kido Gao, because I curious what he’s like in the other film. He’s doing great in this drama, and he is the good kisser I think ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ

Okay, now the story. I like the idea, the romance story, with a lot of kissing scene, that mixed with some supernatural thing and a little bit mixed plot in the middle. The pace somehow acceptable, but for some episode I feel a little bit too slow.

Another thing, somehow the development of Qi Xun’s feeling to Shuang Shuang from someone who can help his sister to someone he love is not too clear. There’s some things or scene that rushed too, and the closure for case with He Zheng Chang is not clearly stated too. I’m happy that He Zheng Chang didn’t make a move to Shuang Shuang again, but I think the closure could be better / smoother.

The ending, the sacrifice of Qi Tian is very touching—very sad if I may say. It’s good that Shi Lang helped Qi Tian, but my mind think, ‘Until when?’ Until when Shi Lang cover the fact about Qi Tian? But, I must admit, what really caught my attention was the ending. The story is good, but the ending really unforgettable.
Oh! And that new employee in the company! I must admit, Kido Gao is better with glasses (─‿‿─)♡

I love all the casts. Their acting is great, but I mostly love Qi Tian and Shi Lang. They act like it’s their own life. They’re so cute together, especially when Qi Tian learned how to knit.

Music I found in this drama :
1. Flipped (喜欢你时风好甜 / Xi Huan Ni Shi Feng Hao Tian) by Leo Li (李莎旻子)
2. The Wrong People (错的人 / Cuo De Ren) by Koala Liu (刘思涵)
3. Come Closer (Duet Version) (对唱版) by Duan Liyang (段丽阳) & Gu Landi (谷蓝帝)
4. Painting of The Wind (风之画 / Feng Zhi Hua) by by Koala Liu (刘思涵)
5. Do Not Say Goodbye (别说再见 / Bie Shuo Zai Jian) by Ding Xiang (丁香)
6. Lost Gifts (遗失的礼物) by Guo Qiqi (郭琪琪)

The reason I choose this drama to watch is not only because Fiction Guo (I like him since Accidentally in Love), but because the synopsis already attract me.

The early episodes are really funny, especially to see how Bai Xiao try to adapt with a present life. The conflict is about trying to snatch spirit pearl from Xia Kui, but what's interesting is that on the way Xia Kui often helped the demons to solve their problems. Another conflict (as for me) is that Xia Kui hard to believe Bai Xiao, it makes she's sometimes fall into trouble with the demons.

And then there’s a Peony Demon who disguised as an actress, Nan Jiao. She is in love with Bai Xiao since a thousand years before. I thought she will be the one of the obstacles or one of the conflict, but no! She even collaborated with Xia Kui and Bai Xiao to maintain the spirit pearl save with Xia Kui. It’s so funny to see Bai Xiao always sneezing when Nan Jiao is near him.

The best experience when they have to fight to maintain the spirit pearl and to help other demons is when they fight at the demon casino. In that moment, I really feel the caring feeling of Bai Xiao for Xia Kui. He even willing to hurt his hands to help Xia Kui. But, the funniest moment (for me) is when Bai Xiao and Xia Kui do a time traveling journey to help Painting Demon see her love’s face. There, they meet Que Sheng, the Demon Queen who Bai Xiao adore so much. Xia Kui feels jealous of her and vent her jealousy to Bai Xiao. On the other hand, Bai Xiao feel angry too because he didn’t quite understand Xia Kui’s jealousy.

Overall, the drama feels solid, but there’s one scene that Zhou Jing try to hurt Xia Kui in the elevator, and for me there’s no closure for that scene. The cinematography quite good and the green screen is neat enough.

Lu Zhao Hua’s (Xia Kui) acting is a bit forced and over in the early episodes. In my opinion she can’t match Fiction Guo’s (Bai Xiao) acting perfectly and they seems to have lack of chemistry. But, from the middle to end of the drama, her acting become more natural and we can see that they’re have a better chemistry.
As for Fiction Guo’s acting, I personally think that he did great and give Bai Xiao character a soul.

For the other main role, Jia Zheng Yu (Zhou Jing) did not gave his best in my opinion. He lacks of expression while he should be do the double role, as a good and a charming senior, and someone who takes someone else’s name and life to live, who then stuck in a bad side. For me, I can’t see the different expression for those roles. I think he could do better.

The very first reason I want to watch this movie is because of Vivian Sung and Jasper Liu. This is another movie with time travel theme; and other than suspense, time travel is the theme I also loved. But then, I'm not too attached with this movie. Other than time-travel, the other topics raised are friendship and love.

To think that this is a movie and male lead just have 3 days to rescue female lead's future, I think the story is solid enough. The problem and the settlement are clear enough, but me personally feels that the ending a little bit cliffhanger. Maybe it's better if they add another 10 or 15 minutes to satisfied the audience (o^ ^o)

The male and female lead's acting are unquestionable. They always act all out and naturally, but in this movie I can't really feel the chemistry between them. Individually they did great, but together I can't say the same. Maybe because male lead is told came from the future, so he can't act naturally in front of the female lead.

These are some songs I found in this movie :
1. 不想失去你 (Bùxiǎng shīqù nǐ / Don’t Want to Lose You) : Jasper Liu
2. 我期待 (Wǒ qídài / I’m Looking Forward to) : Yu-Sheng Chang
3. 帶我去月球 (Dài wǒ qù yuèqiú / Take Me to The Moon) : Vivian Sung

I read the synopsis and it's draw my attention, so I start to watch it. But somehow the early episodes bored me, because I don't really understand the flow and the goal of this drama. The large number of casts also made me a little confused. However, starting from episode 3 I began to be very interested in this drama because the relationship between the casts began to form. In addition, the male lead began to show interest in the female lead, and that's very funny! o(≧▽≦)o

The conflicts are strong enough, with the smooth completion. I'm amaze with Xing Yun's big heart when she learned that Chu Nan's true love is Shen Qing. I know that it's because she don't love Chu Nan, but in my opinion the fact is quite shocking. Conflict with He Yu is get into my nerve, because somehow I dislike when he too much chase after Xin Yun. But, thanks to Yao Qing who brake He Yu's scenario. The conflict that I hate the most is the conflict with Zhang Si Rui. I don't like manipulative woman like her.

The story is great, the chemistry is great, the first and second couple are cute and compatible. This is the kind of drama that I'll watch when I need something funny, fluffy and heartwarming. My favorite part is Xin Yun and Xia Ke at the ferris wheel ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

Their acting are so natural. I personally love the chemistry between the first couple, but I also love Zhai Zi Lu, his confident is so hilarious.

The opening song is sung by the male lead a.k.a Xing Zhao Lin and the ending song is sung by Bai Lu, the female lead herself. Both songs are cheerful and easy listening, very suitable for the drama. Also, the back sound during the episodes really fit with the scene.

I have this series since I don't know when, but I don't know why I didn't watch it the time I had it. And now, after I watch it, I'm really awed w(°ｏ°)w

Right from the start I'm waiting for the twisted plot. And when the twisted plot coming, I'm really happy I can't stop watching (^o^) The early pace is somehow kind of boring and slow for my taste, but when the secret and gaffe slowly occur one by one, I start to interested so much.

In the middle of the series, the story seems near to the end. That makes me think that there must be something more than the story I've watched. I'm not disappointed, because there was indeed something bigger than what I had watched in the early episodes. Many questions are answered, but many new questions arise.

The last two episodes really become the climax of this series. The last episode really play with my emotion, where I can learn about sacrifice, pain, trust and love. But unfortunately, the ending feels a bit rushed for me. Then to make the ending more complicated, the question arises about who Rui was, which was not answered until the last minute of the series. Or how Arata finally awake.

The seven plus one of the casts really have an outstanding acting skill, but these are my nominee for the great casts :
1. Okada Masaki for played the hero well. His acting, expressions and gestures really represent his feeling or mind at the moment.
2. Gouriki Ayame. Her annoying behavior at the early episodes towards Arata is really annoys me (>.<) But that means she's really all out in her act.
3. Nikaido Fumi as the bullied girl. Her acting really catch my attention and made an impression in my heart. Especially on the last episode when they pointed a gun at each other.

The music (ending theme song) is better after the twisted plot occured.

I don't know what should I say about this drama. Not because it is bad, but my brain and heart still in progress to process the whole story because it's so ... why??? (^_^;) I watch this series because of Jason. I watched him first time at Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me and somehow captivated by his handsome look (//ω//) Here, I feel that his acting is very great because he played two very different role with very different personality and he really nailed it.

I (always) love the idea of parallel world, and it's a new plot (for me, at least) that the hero move to the parallel world years before his current time. The flow of the story is smooth and the growth of the hero and heroine feeling and personality are clear and understandable. There's somehow a little bit lack of detail, like there's no clear story for closure between Cheng Hao and his former manager. But after all, the main story goes well.

As for the ending, I really confused how to put my feeling for the ending into words without reveal how exactly this drama ended. Maybe I'll say that the ending is 'bitter-sweet'. It's not that sad, but not that happy too, but I--personally--hope there will be a second season or at least a movie to give us--and them--a proper closure (* ^ ω ^)
