"No Regret" was my first adventure in this genre. A love between a poor and a rich is zzzz... Besides, the theme homossexuality is still a tabu in some countries. When you add those explicit scenes... So I thought it had to be boring, reason why I avoided yaoi-themed movies since then.

I was wrong. Those things are on the story, but we can't deny that it has its own way to develop it. Su-min is a poor man who goes to the big city trying to be someone; blind by his proud, he tries to succeed without no one helping. Jae-min is a playboy who has everything he ever wanted, but it seems he never experienced love before. The way they interact the whole time is so sutile, and at the same time is so intense... Su-min, Jae-min and the rest of the characters are people living their own lives, without that "protagonist-personality" and way of thinking so present on romantic movies. There's not heroes and villains. All we see is just people.

Like Juniko ?? said here, "each one (line) is used wisely". That's a story conveying extra-real feelings, bringing us the real emotions in our own real lives. More than romantic dialogues, the movie talks in the action, the gesture, the finest expression of emotion, at the point the story flows by that aspect. The whole thing goes naturally. It's not like a boring scenario that had a good make-up.

Has been a while since I watched a movie like this one, so I watched again a lot. Not only because of the sex scenes, I'm not a pervert! I just love seeing their love being build in such a rich way.

If any of you have such a good recommendation, please tell me. Thanks in advance. ^^

Kamen Rider OOO is completely different from the other heroes. Every hero has its own way of doing things in the name of justice, but Eiji is extra-special.

His relationship with Ankh is stunning. It doesn't follow any rule and since the beginning we face the nature of their friendship. There's also Hina's point of view. She's constantly learning during the whole serie, and we see a great development of her, as well as Gotou. We understand every character as a human being, not always perfect.

Kamen Rider OOO was my first KR series, and I really liked it, 'cause it changes so much about my ways of thinking. It's a truly challenge to understand their emotions and internal conflicts. People are just the transformation they endure in life; their ambitions and how do deal with the desire, something we ignore and think it's all ok just because it's an expression of ourselves.

The comic side is also wonderful. You'll be really satisfied.

Shirato is really funny! Yudai Chiba is really cute acting, being a character I love even when is troubled. In other words, we like to see him suffering a bit... =^^= It's nice to see how he improves while the story goes on, it's pretty funny to see "Delusional Detective Osamu-chan" part in every episode: and I'm not talking just because of the "Thieving Bunny"! The show follow a routine sometimes, which is easily to figure out. But it's not boring at all. Not only because of the comedy... Somehow we can sympathize with Shirato. The entire show can be a little silly, but you'll love it quickly. The end is pretty amazing and closes the story in a really good way. We could even have a second season with the same routine, added to some new elements. They're good on what they propose: making us laugh.

Shinkenger is a really good story. Not only has great fighting scenes but also gets into you easily.

You'll be inside the battle agains Gedoushuu and understand how is it to be a Sentai - like the other 37, but all of them has their secret. Shinkenger mastered the way of surprising us, with a lot of twists and fierce battles. It's important to say we're invited to start a reflection about friendship, courage, team work and what makes a true leader. Since it's like a nation symbol, like ninjas, it makes me think why did they take so much to work the samurai theme... lol Even for modern concepts and thoughts, it's nice to see the samurai culture in action. There's also the care of building deep characters even among the villains. Some of them also have a past which is great to explore, like Juuzou and Dayuu. It's so much more in Gedoushuu than getting out of Sanzu River. They're also thinking creatures, dealing with emotion and concerns.

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is a masterpiece. The whole concept adapts really well into our reality without losing its magic. Also, the psychologic analysis in all of them really makes a difference. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Life is about taking yourself to the next level. More than motivacional, GOLD is charming and has its own way to send its message. Characters are dense and well build. The major point, for me, it's the pressure and the expectations which not only the characters - and also us - need to handle. Yuri cares about those precious kids, accepting their burden instead of blaming others. There's so much more than her stricness. There's also love and strong bonds in the family.

The point of this drama is to show people how important is to persevere. We can't say that's an easy journey to victory. Victory only has meaning and keeps you along the road when you work hard for it. There's a lot of stuff in the way. GOLD says a lot about how we can enter the road and deal with the surprises that can appear. Yuri did well teaching her kids, Rika-chan (^o^) and also teaching me how important it is to have a strong and unwavering heart.

Sorry for my bad english, guys. I just needed to tell how I felt about them.

FACE MAKER is a great story.

The ability to change your own face sounds pretty surreal, but I thought that was worth a shot. Each episode features a different person, living under different circumstances. Dr. Shun offers them the chance to try again with another life.

Despite having one story for each episode, there's something important that conect all of those people. I can't say what is it since we all hate spoilers, but as far as the chapters go on, perharps you can understand what's covered.

The story may sound a little absurd the whole time, but the show is great when we talk about characters' thinking and behavior. The OST is far ahead the intensity of the story.

After watching it, I can affirm: it's worth to take a shot. According to your point of view, you can extract what the show has to give.
