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 ^)

This movie feed up my psychologist soul. Suicide is always been my biggest question, why some people--or in many case teenager--have a suicidal thought? I mean, if you die, you can't change anything anymore, right? Your mark stuck at that moment, but if you live, you can change, upgrade and proof yourself. There's so much reasons to ended your life, but living takes courage and so much more reasons to still live. I hope a lot of children out there, who ever think to take their life, find a reason to keep living. We'll die in the end, so why rushing now?
Back to the movie. The story idea is great in my opinion, the problem some clear, some shady, some complicated and some seems there's even not a problem. The problem solving somehow feels not a problem solving, but the process of the teens thought to the problem solving is what's matter. The pace of telling is good, not too fast and not too slow, although there are some details that might be better told a little more.
The acting of the casts are very good. They play so naturally and ensoul their roles. However, in my opinion the outstanding actors are Mackenyu and Kitamura Takumi. As for the female cast, Sugisaki Hana plays really well.

I put 18+ warning here because the movie has a lot of bloody scene (well, what do you expect from a war? XD).
I'm waiting for this movie since I don't know when because of Yamaken, but when I'm watching it I'm captivated by Yoshizawa Ryo as Eisei (^o^)
For the movie itself, I feel like this movie is a fusion between Rurouni Kenshin and Lord of The Ring (^_^;) I didn't focused too much to the story, I'm more focused to the action scene, which for me great enough (except for some "fall down" or "thrown off" scene). The story was great as far as I remember, but the ending feels like it being forced to be ended, a.k.a a bit anti-climax and too simple for the closure of that big story.
The casts acting are superb, especially for Yoshizawa Ryo and Hongo Kanata. Yoshizawa Ryo's imperial expression and gesture are really dazzling (♡-_-♡), while Hongo Kanata's vicious expression really thrilling ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : ) Not forget to mention that Nagasawa Masami is really badass ♡ ～('▽^人) How about Yamaken? He's doing great too, so powerfull (ox strength, said Hyou XD), free-wheeling and passionate, but sometimes I feel like he force his "free-wheeling" and comical act so that they're becomes bit too much. But despite than that, he's doing great as usual (°◡°♡)

It's sweet, beautiful and heartwarming. Typical of the Japanese movie if I may say (^_^)
At first I thought that I will watch a lot of people trying to back to their past. I assume that's the point of this movie, to use any opportunity to fix the past. I didn't expect they will offer the bigger and deeper story than that. I love how each individu interact with one another and how that interaction make them like one big family. I like how the interaction grow from the start until the end of their experience going back to the past.
Another thing I didn't expect is the romance story between Kazu and Shintani (^_^) (I love when he steal a kiss from Kazu, BTW XD) I thought Ito Kentaro will be just a cameo. It's always a pleasure for me when the movie/drama I watch break my assumption (^o^)
This movie is not only talk about time-travel, which what I love about this movie is rule number 2, you still can't change the present, but the future is yours to be decide. Past is the place where we can see our flaws and make a difference for our future. This movie also talk about all kind of love. Love for your partner, love for your sister, love for your spouse, love for your parents, love for your child ... and any kind of action you could make to show your love and make the other party happy.

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]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 (^_^;)

"The love in their point of views is based on each other's happiness."
What the heeeeck!!! .･ﾟﾟ･(／ω＼)･ﾟﾟ･.
Just from the synopsis, I know that this movie will be a sad movie, but I never thought that it will be this sad! (╥_╥) Well, maybe there will be other watcher who say that this movie quite cheesy, but this movie really touch my heart (╥_╥)
I never imagine that there will be a mother who neglect her sick son, but thank's God K meet Cream and they take care of each other. The early minutes of flash back feels bit boring for me, but it's just for several minutes, and when they start living together, the story start to feel bitter. Many times when I watching this, I'm thinking, "Just please be honest!" And Cream's last action ... it's unforgivable but understandable in my point of view.
Actually, I can say no more without tell the whole story, so please just watch ... and cry (maybe—because I'm crying hard in the end).
BTW, somehow Jasper Liu remind me of Eita, the Japanese actor (^o^)

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]To be honest, I already knew what will happen at the 20th minute, but this movie is really worth to enjoy until the very end. The phrase 'there's always be a price to pay' is totally right. The bigger the matter, the bigger the price.
This movie will show you the true meaning of sacrifice and love. Even though I already predict the ending, but when it really come to an end, still my heart aching and felt empty ヽ(￣～￣ )ノ Especially the scene at the railway o(〒﹏〒)o The one I didn't see it coming is Aoi's condition. At the end of the movie, I finally understand the meaning of sad look on her face when she look at Shinichiro from her apartment window.
I know, I know, I made the spoiler, but don't you worry, the story is still worth to see. I also love to see Shison Jun here although he's just a support role (^_^) His growth of personality shown clearly and I really happy that in the end he's no longer a villain (^_^)

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]First impression : FUN! (^o^)
This series feels fresh because it's fun to see the at-the-first-arrogant idol become so cute, childish and caring idol (^_^) The heroine is so cute too, I prefer she become Chen Qing Qing than Qing Shen, because she more alive when she is Chen Qing Qing.
Another point that I love from this series is that the heroine seems independent and smart, so that she didn't have to depend on the hero too much (^_^)
The conflict so far is around fight over the hero and actually I'm kinda dislike this conflict. Why? Because to win a man's love with some sly trick is just shameful even she love him so much. I stopped to continue watching it for a little bit longer because I lost my mood (^o^;)
The other conflict is about choosing between career and the one you love the most, especially Si Tu Feng's career. I choose this conflict better than the other conflict (^_^)
Now let's talk about the production. The use of green screen is too obvious we can see the difference. For example, the scene when they at the car or at the cave. Maybe that's indeed their intention, I don't know too (^_^”)

From the synopsis, somehow I already know that this movie will be a sad movie. At first I think that this is the sweet movie. A little bit sad, but still sweet. At least for the 'side A'. When the movie turn to 'side B', the plot start to twisted and the sour side comes out. I started to think, is it better to just imagine think and be happy, or to experience it even if it's just a big fat lie? But I'm very happy because this movie gradually reveal the secrets and the backgrounds little by little. I often said, "Oooh! I see!" when I saw one more secret reveal. I'm also happy that I can clearly see the growth of Gong Ning's feeling and attitude towards Shi Qiao.
For the plot itself, it's really my cup of tea because there's a plot twist and a lot of shady secrets and backgrounds that'll be peel off one by one, little by little. The casts plays great, especially Song Shi Qiao, her expressions are priceless.
P.S. : you must watch until the very last second!

Not an outstanding movie, but quite entertaining (^_^)
I love the idea of idol working with his anti-fan. The growth of their feeling and relationship is not clearly visible, but understandable. Too bad that the title and the story not in line. At first I thought that they will be married first and story goes on, but it turns out that there's no marriage (^_^;)
But despite of that, this movie provide a lot of laugh too, for example is the incident with the handcuff (^o^) That scene is really mind catching (^o^)

I love good movie and so a good song. This movie provide them both. The story idea is not a 100% new, but I love the music part on this movie. Pop or hip-hop music is common, but I really amazed when both genre combined with Chinese traditional music. They're surprisingly great and easy listening! (^_^)
Flow shifting in this film is quite neat. Although it's not very detailed (I have to remind myself that this is a 98-minutes film), but it doesn't feel like there is a jumping plot, so it's still pleasant to watch. I also like the idea of using a song as a sign to find a soulmate.
The acting of the casts are good, especially Leehom Wang and Hank Chen. They're so funny as a Nail Town citizens (^o^)
Honestly, I prefer Leehom Wang as A Duh, than as DMH. He is so cute with the wig and round glasses (^_^)

Austin Lin as a biker??? Love iiit!!! Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→
Well, basically I'm a fans of Austin Lin (^o^)
Okay, let's talk about the movie. This is the 2nd movie I watched about Laplace Theorem. I dislike math and I amaze that there's a theory like this Laplace, everything can be calculated and manipulated.
In my opinion, the story is clear enough, quite easy to understand ... at least until the very end when the other student revealed another probability. I was like, "Damn! She could be right!" But that condition quite sad, so I don't want to think further about it, I just want to believe that Zao An and Xiao Chong are just a pawn (^_^;)
Each casts act good, sometimes Chen Du Ling have a little lack of expression, but it's still ok for me. Another thing is, I hate Yi Fan's hair. I want to cut it! (-__-)
Minus point : no such a romance scene for Zao An and Xiao Chong (^o^) I hope they could be together XD Sometimes they're forget about some little detail, it makes the transition between scenes is not so smooth.

To be honest, the beginning of this movie is quite boring, maybe because of the setting. But, after several minutes, especially after Geng Geng realize that she like Yu Huai, the story starts interesting. Related to that, in my opinion, the reason Geng Geng start liking Yu Huai is too simple. I mean, when you really pissed off with someone, watching that someone playing basketball nicely not changed your mind immediately, right? I expect something more deep and clear for that. To make it simple, the growth of their feeling and personality cannot clearly seen (by me XD)
Despite of that, this is the summary plot in my opinion : flat - funny - sweet - pathetic (I hate when Yu Huai deletes all the photos sent by Geng Geng!) - sweet. For me, they can do better for the ending. More sweetness is very welcome, maybe with some hug or kissing scene (^_^)
The best scene for me? When there's a sing festival at their school! I rewatched that scene over over over and over again (^_^)

After watching several semi-heavy, complicated and emotion-drained movie and drama, this movie become a little bit too light to me (^_^;)
The story is good, the casts are good, their act are good, but for me it’s lack of strong point, like maybe the sharpness of the conflict. Back again, maybe it’s because the type is a movie, not a dorama (^_^) Oh! But I love the basketball scenes (⌒▽⌒)♡

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]Light.
Cheesy.
Absurd.
But in the positive way (^_^)
I’ve watched the very first version for this title. It’s Japanese version Itazura na Kiss with Kashiwabara Takashi as Irie Naoki (Jiang Zhi Shu) and Sato Aiko as Aihara Kotoko (Xiang Qin). After that, I watched the Korean version but stop in the middle because to be honest, Korean male not really my cup of tea, so I’m a little bit bored watching it. But maybe, just maybe, I’ll start watch all the version for my comparison.
Back to this movie. As a plot, there’s no much difference with the first Japanese version, but maybe because this is a movie, there’s some things missing, just like how Xiang Qin get close to Zhi Shu’s little brother. The absurdness of Xiang Qin still in the tolerate degree for me, and that makes she look innocent. I love how Zhi Shu gradually have a feeling for Xiang Qin and how jealous he can be. The scene that really catch my attention and emotion is when Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin talk at the hospital. Stupid Zhi Shu (-__-)
