Ok, I honestly watched this just because of Vic. I love him, ok? Plus the story line intrigued me. How can a Japanese and a Taiwanese couple work out.



I really have a very low, low, like 2.5 (IMDB Rating) low expectation from this movie. But hey, it was actually ok. Not great but ok. It made me laugh every now and again.



I loved that Vic was laughing a lot here and showed his tender side. He's a great actor indeed. The Japanese girl, I have not seen her before. I don't have any other works where I can compare her acting. SO there.



I love the songs they used. I loved that I heard him sing again. Vic is a great singer as well.



It was worth a one time watch or if you really love Vic, you can go ahead and watch it again if you have nothing else to do.

This is a bit confusing but not in a bad way. I felt tension between the characters, and no --not the friendship kind of tension -- more of lovers. That's probably where it gets confusing. Are they just friends? OR are they lovers? Are they just having a hard time coming out? 'Coz I definitely thought what they have is more than friendship.

It was good acting. Definitely good.

I wish it was longer though so we can get more of the complete picture.

I started watching this series because it reminds me of my favorite American MD, Dr. House. LOL. I came to love it as it is.

I love this season as they went deeper into Daimon's "relationships". I never though she'll love somebody this deep, aside from her love of Food, Surgery, and maybe Akira.

The ending will not surpass her being in the outer space, hahaha! How to top that, really?

Daimon's acting was superb, especially with the last two episodes.

Gotta watch!

I watched this as a part of the 2018 watch challenge, and because I was enticed by the plot.

Imagine a government choosing the person who you are supposed to be completely compatible with because of genetics, isn’t that cool?

Well of course you can always choose to follow your heart but what are the odds that you’d actually fall in love with the person chosen for you?

I loved how the story unfolded though I kind of cheated by jumping to the end of the story so I can see how it’s going to end. LOL. Some people do not like the ending while me on the other hand actually liked it. It was a peaceful and fulfilling ending for me. They left no opening for questions.

I never thought I'd enjoy this movie, honestly. I decided to watch it just wanting to know how they will attack the language part of the story.
I actually enjoyed this.
And I was happy how they played the "language" part quite well.

The actors may not be the best but for me they played their role well enough.
I also liked Ye Sung's singing voice (I'm not a fan of K-Pop so me saying he has a good voice -- I meant it).

Addicting!

While writing this review, I am rewatching Mr. Brain for the 5th time. I watch it every year. That's how much I enjoy it.

Even though I've already seen it lots of times I still get the same excitement watching it. I still find Tsukumo's smirk and quirkiness attractive. I still love the banter between the two detectives. Every time I watch it I feel like I will see something new that I may have missed the last few time I've seen it? Lol.

The guest stars were superb too! Gact, Kamenashi, Takeru Satoh and Yukie Nakama among others.

You will not regret watching this. The theme song Jump was super catchy, it'll stick with you!

If there's something this drama has, it would be sequels@ or movies or SPs.

The first episode itself is something that made me wonder and want to continue watching. Let me rephrase that, the first 3 minutes got me hooked.

This is a feel good JDorama about life, friendship, and family. It's an easy watch with a bit of everything.
All the cast did well, Takuya Kimura, did not fail me as always.

Here you'd be able to say that "Money is not always everything."

This is a story about a group of friends who’s trying to live their lives how they want it. I actually did not like it much in the beginning. It’s not really that bad, it’s probably because of the age of the drama as well, aside from it not being my type [of genre]. Although when I reached episode 8, I started loving how the story is unfolding in front of me. It actually depicted life young adults back then quite well. All the struggles and hardships. And it was done pretty well, very realistic.

Takuya did a great job here. On the first episode he had a monologue, he was great there. You can see all the emotions and every movement of his facial muscles adds more to the scene. Just brilliant acting. All the cast were good as well. They all look so young, well basically I watched it 24 years after it first came out in 1994.

A typical student - teacher love story? That's what I thought before I started watching this movie.But in actuality, it isn't.

It was somehow deep and you'd eventually care for the characters. They'd grow on you.

At first it doesn't look like much and I really did not expect anything but I am hoping it won't disappoint me. I'm glad, as it didn't.

You should definitely watch it. Your two hours will definitely not be wasted.

I must say, this is one of the best Kimura Takuya series I've seen. All the cast did a great job. Superb acting skills were shows.

I was supposed to give it a 10 as an overall score, but the ending just had me crying my eyes out so I decided to give it an over all score of 9. I can't believe it, this is the third series that it happened.

The music was just superb. Desperado was definitely on point for this series. I was also glad to hear Sukiyaki on Episode 10, even for just a bit.

Again, you should watch this, definitely worth watching. Definitely.

I did not expect much when I started watching this as I had a bad experience with watching a series comprised of "groups" as the lead/s. Surprisingly, this one was actually ok. It was not the best but it was not really boring and the development of the story was actually unpredictable. I liked the twist on this story.

I would like to say that I did enjoy this series. The premise is quite unique. You have to watch it carefully so you do not miss a detail.

Contrary to popular opinion, I actually like how it ended even though it ended as such. I was glad he made such sacrifice to make everybody else happy. That's love. Even though it will hurt him, he chose to let them live their lives.

The songs played by the 3-month guy was just awesome. I like all of them. I liked that he played "Hajimete No Chu" it reminds me of my Captain.

Over all this series is very enjoyable. It was not perfect but it was good.

They said it's bad...

Most people said the Attack on Titan Part 1 and 2 are bad, like really bad. See the ratings? it's less at 5.

It took me Haruma's death to watch this franchise because almost everybody said it is bad, but it isn't. I'm sorry I was not able to support Haruma at that time because I listened to all the AOT Fans who were super disappointed.

Actually, I genuinely enjoyed it. It was exciting!
I like the CG. I like the acting, I thought the casts did a good job!

In all honesty, I thought Attack on Titan was good!
This is probably because I don't have any clue about the manga or anime.
I guess, sometimes it's nice to look at things from a perspective of an outsider.

Honestly, I decided to watch this just because of Takeuchi Ryoma as I was trying to watch all of his works. And it was surpirsingly a good watch, bias aside.

I loved the flow of the story and how it was told. I also liked the twist, though it might be a little predictable.

The actors were great! I was entertained. I really like the chemistry of each characters.

Please watch it, I think this is the best Kamen Rider Drive movie among a few that I've seen so far.

Let's Henshin! Lol.

I honestly only wanted to watch this because it stars Kimura Takuya, as I want to be able to say that that I watched all of his movies and series.

Then I started watching it, I got hooked, not only because it has Kimura as one of its casts, but because of the story as a whole and the dogs. Yes, the dogs.

I can't say more without spoiling the series more. Just know that I loved it with all my heart and that I would really recommend that you watch it.

Acting was superb, dogs were great, the cinematography was great as well. Everything was great.
