Average short drama with under-developed plot and characters, though its definitely better than most of the short dramas I've seen from China.

Cruel City

Yes, he committed an illegal act and deserves to be punished for it. But to say that he funded a cycle of exploitation is a bit of a stretch. Yes, drug trafficking is serious and has far-reaching consequences. But he is not the only actor / entertainer who does drugs. 90% of them do it. He just happened to be the one who got caught.

Also, you do realize that somewhere all of us have contributed to funding this cycle of exploitation, be it in the products we buy, or even supporting the entertainment industry which is run by a lot of mafia and funded from illegal money etc

Exploitation is everywhere. Rich people wouldn't be rich if not for the poor people. Yoo Ah In is just a speck in a large sea. He deserves the punishment for what he did, but no he doesn't deserve to be cancelled, and be robbed off his livelihood while criminals like rapists and murderers continue to get opportunities in the very same industry.

I was excited for this but after seeing the trailer where they didn't even bother to include a glimpse of Yoo Ah In, I am not going to watch this.
Too bad for the hard work the entire production put into this, but I do not wish to encourage this stupid cancel culture.
Anyway I doubt my opinion will make a difference because millions will still watch this, make it a top-rated show, and that will only affirm the production's decision to have Yoo Ah In edited out.
Just had to say my piece.

That 6.8 rating is way too generous.

A frustrating drama with a ML who was too good for the insensitive FL. I really wanted to love this but the FL went too far with her cruelty towards the ML, and insensitivity towards her father. What irked me even more is that she never quite apologized / redeemed herself. If not for James and Teaw's amazing chemistry together, I doubt I would be able to finish this.
Also, special mention for the FL"s mother, who was hands down the sweetest, and wisest character on the show. I adored her.

Saw her in Game Sanaeha and damn she is drop dead gorgeous.

Exactly! I always believe in watching first and deciding for myself :)
I'm waiting for QOT to reach the finale week before I start watching as I am not in the mood to wait for 2 episodes a week. Done that a lot in the past but these days, I just wanna binge hehe

A poetic and gloomy painting on loneliness filled with blank spaces, minimal dialogue, and a calming piano and jazz score. This was a pretty perfect adaptation to Haruki Murakami's short story.
Highly recommended, especially for those who enjoy films with a melancholic vibe that will leave you feeling empty.

Thank you :)

A decent feel-good winter movie with pleasant characters and beautiful scenery. I liked it!

I adore a lot of his support roles. Dude's got talent.

A heartwarming and moving documentary-movie tribute to to an ordinary, spirited young woman named Akiko whose life and dreams were snatched away too soon due to the bombings in Hiroshima. Her desire to be a pianist, and her resilience and strength to do all she could to protect her family and the country shone through. To think this was just one woman's story, and there were millions whose stories were altered or crushed due to the horrific war. They may have died, but the memories they left behind like Akiko's piano, diaries, photo albums and other artifacts are very much still alive today.
The production team's efforts in restoring Akiko's piano and capturing the live footage of some of the best pianists playing her piano was a powerful touch.
It is an important story that deserves to be watched once.
Highly highly recommend this beautiful gem for all all.

A rather simple and quiet film about a young man's love for surfing, and his girlfriend. I adored the way this film humanized the deaf-mute leads as 2 people who were simply doing what they enjoyed, and are not any different from those who can speak and hear. Despite the lack of dialogue, their sincerity and commitment towards each other shone through.

Highly recommend this for Beat Takeshi's direction and screenplay in conveying the beauty of silences, which was well complemented by Joe Hiraishi's timeless and enchanting score.

Has Nana Komatsu vowed to take on only serious or weird roles LOL

I am not sure if this was a case of bad screenplay or bad direction, because there was nothing wrong with the script, story, or performances but it just wasn't cohesive. The audience is presented with parts of each family member's story, but it left me wondering by the end - what is the message or common theme? What is the movie trying to say? It just wasn't tied together well enough and was too ambitious for its own good. This would have definitely worked better as a drama.
Best thing about this was the beautiful acting by all 3 leads.

Has she taken a vow to act only in serious / tragic / heartbreaking movies?

Enjoyyyy :)

Hottie who can act. Perfect combination.
