Fit my drama taste perfectly.

This drama was even better than I expected.
I usually like when there is romance in a drama. There are very few times I would hate it and find it disturbing. It's just my preference. I don't like it when romance takes a long time to develop and then suddenly everything speeds up because the drama ends. So that's already one of the advantages of this drama.
Another thing I liked was the fairly quick reconciliation between the brothers. We were given hints from the beginning that they didn't completely hate each other, so it was a good choice to pursue this subplot this way.
The third thing I liked was that the creators showed from the beginning that they took a specific direction, but at the same time there were also several plot twists.
The side characters also contributed a lot to this drama. The whole thing just fit my drama taste perfectly.

It's a short film worth seeing because it's pretty good, funny at times, and has some really good actors.

It's about how a particular woman perceives her body. I think a lot of people can relate to this situation. The presented situation concerns a mother who doesn't want food to go to waste. She is the one who eats all the leftovers, which results in a slight weight gain. This makes her anxious. Her husband sees all this and the events are also presented from his perspective. Ultimately, he tries to support her and not lead to a situation where the woman eats between meals.
I liked how the husband's perspective was shown. He tried to explain and appreciate everything.

I watched the drama 3 times a few years ago and for some reason I'm so biased towards the story itself. At first I wanted to watch the drama again but I was afraid that I would spoil my memories of it so I finally decided to watch the film adaptation.

The story is so sad that I cried a lot even though it was hard for me to empathize with the characters because of the very poor acting. The film is missing some things that for me were a bit of an essential part of the drama. Like the reason why Hiro dyed his hair dark. Maybe it's not that important, but it's the part that has stuck in my memory for all these years.

Despite all my fondness for this story, I'm really disappointed with the execution. I managed to enjoy this movie only because of the good memories of the drama and the will to watch something that will definitely make me cry.

Sky of Love is one of those stories that made me cry the most.

In the series, I liked Adachi and Kurosawa's relationship more, but I think Minato and Tsuge's spin-off was better. I'm guessing it's because on the show we've seen the first couple's relationship develop, but we haven't seen it with the second couple. So in the spin offs it was turned around.

The Valentine's Day part was just an accidental explanation for the misunderstanding that was created after Kurosawa found the mysterious gift. Well, I agree it was cute.

The second part of the spin off revolves around Rokkaku finding out why Kurosawa often shows up unexpectedly when Rokkaku talks to Adachi. And it was actually funny.

BL school dramas are starting to get tiresome for me so it's really exciting to watch productions with adult characters. Usually these relationships are more mature and there is no room for toxic behavior in them, which I really like.

The actors played their roles very well. I like the lead couple better mainly because they weren't as chaotic as the second couple. I also like the fact that there was asexual character, which I think is rare in East Asian productions.

In my opinion, having magic like mind reading, the problems and positive things associated with it, is a good metaphor of how important communication is in relationships.

I really love this drama. It was cute but emotional.

The film tells the story of what happens after the death of Kung Min. To be honest, overall this film was very drastic and from my perspective it felt so real. We see what happens to students and what consequences their words and deeds have. However, even though it's not shown explicitly, the way the story is shown indicates that it's from an adult's perspective. Why do I think so? Because throughout the video, things are shown that may have influenced Kyung Min, but there is no confirmation as to what actually made her act. The adults didn't really want to listen to Young Hee who might know something about the cause of Kyung Min's death. They just made up their own narrative to what she said. They completely ignored the fact that she mentioned her suicidal thoughts.

As viewers, we don't get a clear reason for what ultimately led to Kyung Min's death. It could have been many of the situations mentioned in the movie or something that has never been revealed.

Overall it's a good movie. Unfortunately, it was boring at times. The actors did a great job and the camera work is a big advantage for this film.

Honestly, after seeing the ratings and reviews, especially on MDL, I didn't have high expectations for this movie. But I decided to give it a try anyway.

Maybe it's just my expectations, but "The Queen of Crime" is not such a bad movie. There are elements characteristic of Korean productions, such as shady building administration or a mother who pretends not to see that her son treats her badly. 303's unfinished story bothers me a bit. It's a pity that this part of the plot was simply forgotten.

This movie is definitely not for everyone.

I liked the camera work and the overall vibe. The actors did well and I like the main characters.

It is a good movie to watch once.

As much as I want to like this movie, I see so many shortcomings.

After watching this movie, I know that my expectations were too high. The story itself is emotional and moving, but this film lacks a lot.

I understand that the creators wanted to arouse sadness and sympathy in the viewers, but the dramatic, inconsistent music in almost every scene were too much. Some scenes were also overly dramatic. This made the movie hard to watch. The story itself was engaging and it seems as if the creators wanted to evoke too many emotions at once, which resulted in the opposite.

The actors who played the roles of So Wa Wai did a good job, but the performances of the others were worse.

One more thing bothers me after watching this movie. Briefly mentioned plots of side characters have been forgotten. There was no development. Without them, nothing would have changed in this film. One example is when Wa Wai's brother sold his medals. After that, during an argument with his mother, he expressed his feelings about his parents' treatment. After he left slamming the door, there was no further reference to this situation later in the film. There are more examples like this.

As much as I want to like this movie, I see so many shortcomings.

It was only 26 minutes but it was so intense. I wasn't expecting that ending at all. This was definitely the shocking part of the film.

The atmosphere in the first part of the film was tense but mixed with some seemingly peaceful moments. The first part also focused on finding a way to determine who the family of the deceased is. The second part focused on presenting the solution to the argument. And the ending was an unexpected culmination of the whole film.

Park Chan-wook made sure that the viewer felt some discomfort while watching this film. It is provocative.

"Judgment" is a really good short film.

She Makes My Heart Flutter healed my heart.

First of all, I think that the length of this drama is perfect for the story presented in this way. I'm afraid it would be boring if it was longer. This was my second fully GL drama. The first one was Lily Fever and I was excited about it before I started watching. The poor execution and story left me traumatized for years.

Now I feel like She Makes My Heart Flutter healed my heart. It's a cute, fluffy story with a pretty and atmospheric set design. It shows how queer women approach their sexuality, friendship and love depending on the generation. It was a good idea to show it in one drama.

The actresses and crew did a really good job.

I recommend watching this drama. It's worth your time.

I have mixed feelings about this title.

If only people could speak and talk through the problem before it escalates too much...

I felt it was really stereotypical. Role of man and woman... She expected her boyfriend to do everything, preferably right away, despite the understandable fatigue after work, getting up early and a very long commute. Also, he was always supposed to come to her, she never even offered to visit him. They never talked to each other about their expectations and problems. They just had an argument when the situation escalated.

The very beginning of the movie was cute, then it got a little creepy but still sweet, and then it got sour at the end and we got a plot twist.

This movie tells a very real story that could happen in real life. However, I have mixed feelings about this title. For me, the first part of the movie was good enough, but then it got worse. I don't feel like this plot twist is needed, but it's easier for me to accept, knowing that such things also happen.

The execution was definitely missing something. The whole movie was very superficial. I couldn't get into the characters' stories.

Season two is weaker than season one.

UPDATE AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA
I want to praise the acting performance of Yang Yoo Jin (Yun Ah Ra). She was really good. She reminds me a bit of Lee Sung Kyung.

The last five episodes were better because Hyun Ho's toxic jealousy was not shown.

Also, I love Ryu Seol.

Anyway, I will not watch the series anymore. I feel as if the next parts are really unnecessary and too repetitive in relation to the previous ones.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER WATCHING 10 EPISODES
rating: 5/10

The first season was really pretty good and fun to watch. However, season two is weaker even though the acting seems to be a little better.

Hyun Ho is so toxic this season. This makes him annoying to watch. He said he trusts Yeon Doo... And he still acts like an idiot.

Since our main characters, as a couple and friends, can't talk to each other honestly, Ah Ra is doing great at manipulating them. And the beginning was going so well when the first misunderstanding she created between Hyun Ho and Yeon Doo was quickly cleared up.

I really hate it when characters can't talk to each other honestly and misunderstandings build up. But I guess without it the writers wouldn't have a way to create 16 episodes so I have to get through this if I want to end this drama.

I love this show.

When it comes to TV Shows, I usually only watch single episodes of interest to me. However, "Young Actors' Retreat" is a very entertaining and captivating show. I kept smiling through each episode. This show really made me laugh a lot.

I love every actor who has appeared in it. It felt very real when at first actors who did not know each other felt awkward, but over time they got used to each other and began to tighten bonds. It was cool to get to know the actors better this way.

I'll miss this show so much and I think I'll come back to it when I'm in a bad mood. It would be great if there were more shows like "Young Actors' Retreat".

It's a good movie to make you cry, but don't expect too much from it.

I can't ignore the information that I was in tears for most of this movie.

Initially, I thought that my rating would be higher despite the worse ratings of other viewers. I also expected much more from this film, because the plot itself seemed to be good, but the execution is average. Most of this movie is about waiting for something to happen, the characters will meet again, or just Haruto will find out what's really going on with Misaki. This makes over two hours of length a bit too long for this story. It also made the mid-section boring a lot and to be honest I speeded it up a bit sometimes.

It's a good movie to make you cry, but don't expect too much from it.
