Conman...
This movie is a bit of a mess, boring at times interesting at times with a bunch of predictable twists as well as some less predictable twists. The actors and actresses do a pretty decent job acting out the plot, but whoever edited this did a messy job, While I do think it was intentionally done to be messy, the mess was not really worth the hassle. Some parts make no sence what so ever, other parts actually suprised me in a good way. However it did not make up for the mess.All in all an okay watch it is just lacking that spark...

wholesome and fluffy, but not stupid...
Don't know why some are disapointed by this show.It was nicely done, had a very nice catchy song and they acted all cute and very well.
Of course is hasn't that much drama, but the writing is not cringy like most thai shows. All is well balanced with lot's of fluffy scenes and some character progression.
The only slightly negative part are stereotypical "bad" parents, but in an asian culture that is more common compared to the "west" and understandable.
All in all, if you want to have a show which has a more light story with fluffy scenes tastefully done, I can recommand this show.

Very amazing zombie movie!
I absolutely adore Korean zombie shows and movies because they’re all very different and fun to watch!I watched this movie a longgg longggg time ago when it came out, I distinctly remember watching it hoping it for it to be scary as I was watching alone but NAHHH this was more heartwarming and intense than horror.
I absolutely despise the business guy omggg tho it’s been long since I last watched, I still remember this movie scene by scene, this is how good this movie is!!!
The child actor is amazing and awesome!
The acting is so catching and well done!
As a person who enjoys zombie shows, I’d definitely recommend anyone this movie first!
Also, to say about the zombies, they’re very fast and scary gosh
I remember crying buckets of tears on the last scene 😭😭😭

Actually really enjoyable
I didn't think I would enjoy such an old BL but I surprisingly did. It actually did pretty well for a bl of its time. The only questionable part is the ending I guess cause I don't know how you come back from THAT but other than that it was really good. The acting was pretty good, nicely budgeted and good plot.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best South Korean movies ever made.
After "westernizing" with Snowpiercer and Okja, Bong Jong-ho returned to what he does best, which is critical and scathing cinema, which dives (almost always literally) into the drains of Korean society to bring us much more intelligent stories than we usually see in big productions.In Parasites, however, what stands out is what is perhaps one of the best scripts in recent years, and an incredible cast in which each of its members is practically perfect in their role.
So if you haven't seen this movie, what are you waiting for?

A very well-crafted historical spionage actioneer!
After his journey in the United States filming The Last Stand with Arnie, Kim Jee-woon returned to Korea to make another notable blockbuster that he demonstrated how to handle so well in the past.This time it is a period espionage and counterespionage plot, in a sober and serious, almost dry tone. However, fans of the director will be reminded in style and rhythm of The Good, The Bad and The Weird, with which it shares the fantastic protagonist trio, an excellent production design and some very dynamic and spectacular action scenes, a trademark of this director.

A double switch to brighten our lives
This 2013 Filipino screwball satirical comedy film, starring Zanjoe Marudo and Cristine Reyes, tells the story of twins Brando and Brandy. Despite the physical similarity, both are very different from each other. While the first is heterosexual and has no ambitions in life, the other is a friendly gay who has a career plan.Brandon is attracted to Erika, Brandy's best friend, but she breaks up with him after realizing that Brandon has no plans for the future.
The homophobic Brando cannot accept that his brother is gay, so he decides to distance himself from him and make his own life independently. To do this, he will plan to start a car repair business and become a mechanic. Brandy, for her part, sets out on her own path to try to make her dream come true.
Eight years later we see Brandy become a successful interior designer, while Brandon still struggles to make ends meet.
Based on real events, the plot delves into each person's journey along their respective paths. Everything seems to indicate that they will never unite again, until one day, their mother begs them to put aside their differences and reconcile. Moved by her mother's plea, Brandy goes out to find her brother to make peace, but suffers an unfortunate accident that leaves him in a coma.
While Brandy remains in the hospital, Brando learns that just before the accident occurred, his brother was putting the finishing touches on negotiating a multimillion-dollar design deal with a client.
Fearing that Brandy will lose the multimillion-dollar business, Brandy's two close friends convince Brando to pull a double switch and pose as his gay brother. Then he will make the second most important decision of his life: So Brando, the straight, homophobic, tough and sexist, becomes the gay Brandy!
This is where the fun begins with Brando juggling Brando and Brandy.
By usurping his gay brother's identity he will not only allow Brando to solve all of his financial problems. It comes with another surprise: It will also give him the chance to patch things up with Erika (Cristine Reyes), Brandy's good friend, who he's always been in love with!
But it doesn't all end here: pretending to be the gay twin will mean that while he tries to prevent a multimillion-dollar business from failing and, in the process, get the love of a girl, he will look at the person he has always hated with different eyes, and acquire a new appreciation for him. by living your life.
In this world gone crazy, with Brando taking on Brandy's cheerful personality, what real chance is there of life returning to normal for the twins? Will Brandy wake up in time, discover the switch her twin flipped, and save the situation?
With a script by Olivia M. Lamasan, Joel Mercado, Enrico C. Santos, Danno Kristoper Mariquit, Kriz G. Gazmen, Kathy Despa and Ays De Guzman, and direction by Wenn V. Deramas, the film features the now Filipino star Kokoy DeSantos will play the twins as teenagers, while Maliksi Morales will play the young Brando and Brandy, and finally Zanjoe Marudo will play the twins as adults.
Filled with comedic moments, 'Bromance: My Brother's Romance' is Skylight Films' first foray into the comedy genre. Even in serious situations, they look for hilarious and over-the-top reactions, which makes it fun to watch.
Zanjoe Marudo achieves a brilliant and natural performance by playing, interchangeably, Brando and Brandy in three different roles: gay man, straight man and straight man who pretends to be gay.

The worst romantic movie I ever seen
If you enjoy a cast that cannot act and convey any emotions through their "so" called "acting" and a shallow "love" story then this movie is perfect for you.It's terrible and terrible and terrible and beyond terrible It's terrible and terrible and terrible and beyond terrible It's terrible and terrible and terrible and beyond terrible It's terrible and terrible and terrible and beyond terrible It's terrible and terrible and terrible and beyond terrible It's terrible and terrible and terrible and beyond terrible (need 300 words to post a review).

Na's best movie so far!
After six years of waiting, The Wailing finally arrived on our screens, the third film by Na Hong-Jin, a director who already left us with a twisted ass in his two previous (and excellent) The Chaser and The Yellow Sea.However, and without leaving aside the thriller path, here we find a much more unleashed, supernatural and wild Na. If anyone doubted that he was going to soften because he had money from 20th Century Fox, forget it.
The Wailing is pure evil, blood and madness. In short: a work as absurd as it is essential.

Blast from the past
After the first, rather impressive Timeline movie where the plot actually justified the title, the three directors made a second one. This time it is just a simple omnibus movie featuring four stories. I watched it on youtube in appalling quality but since it had never been officially released, it is better than nothing!The first story: Mind Reader is a typical early thai bl which takes place in high school and where pretty boys are followed around by fujoshis, girls and trans fans screaming. Amidst that noise, is Sun attracted by Boss's popularity and almost unaware that there is Kit, a boy with a crush on him. It is very cringy but the romance is cute and sweet behind the superfluous cringe. I almost dropped the movie because of it.
It stars Kritsana Boonroth as Sun and Phattaparong Chaibal as Kit.
I liked the second story the best: The Memory on Page 53. Nan is giddy with delight to go on a trip with Phu who had just broken up with his boyfriend. But this trip reveals the memories they are both trying to avoid remembering. They actually dated and broke up 5 years earlier.
This was a beautifully filmed story. The director Artistaya Bangpao filmed nature, their feeling and memories with sensitivity. The actors have great chemistry. The editing is amazing: the past and the present trips mixed together showing that nothing had changed in their feeling. The only issue I have is with the story itself: we never find out why they broke up since they were and obviously still are in love! I would love to see a longer version of this story by the same director with the story expanded and more details given.
The third story, Non-Verbal features a deaf character Ohm who meets the eyes of Tan (Chinoros Duangrat) and their gazes lock. But a misunderstanding almost ruins the beginning of a love story.
This is the shortest story in the movie. Fortunately they did not drag out too long the misunderstanding. The novelty is a deaf character who is on his guard because of his handicap and is quick to jump to wrong conclusion. Tan clears the issue quickly with the help of his doting, no nonsense mother.
Directed by Jitthinund Yodwongsakull
The fourth story circles back to school from the first one. Nine, a boy from that school, gets attached to Nong, a middle aged trans woman who holds a stand selling fried bananas Nine likes. Nong is affected by Nine's attention since he reminds her of her sister's son. Man, a boy from school who has a crush on Nine, finds this relationship suspicious and does everything in his power to ruin it. We eventually find out that Nine is the long lost nephew but the damage has been done and Nong moves away.
This was a good and a bad story at the same time. The good was having a trans main character (when in 2016 trans were just used as screaming over the top comic relief in bls). The very bad is the possible romance innuendo which was never really cleared and the conclusion we get to draw from her reactions in the last part is that there was more in her feelings that met the eye!
Cast: Jennifer Panot Ruangratanachinda as Nong and Natthaphong Charoenchaisombat as Nine. Directed by Passapong Throngprasit
The film was written by Passapong Throngprasit and Artistaya Bangpao. The stories are of different quality and each director's style is obvious. I definitely want to see more of Artistaya Bangpao: his direction is the most accomplished. The music is unremarkable pop songs which have the merit of talking about each story.
Unlike the first movie where the stories ended up being connected on a few levels here only the first and the last stories are loosely connected with the same highschool. As for the timeline, from the title, there is the influence of the past in present in the three stories (not the 1st one which is firmly anchored in the present)!

IT'S EVERYTHING YOU'LL LOVE!! TRUST ME!!
This movie is just amazing, man! The way they came up with the themes, cinematography, and overall ideas is just mind-blowing. I'm completely hooked on it and keep watching it over and over again. It's like a magical spell that just makes me feel so peaceful and homesick for India. The attention to detail and the way they tell the story is just out of this world. Honestly, I don't think I can put into words just how much I loved this movie, but if I had to rate it, I'd give it a billion out of ten!Was this review helpful to you?
Once you watch it, you'll be blown away. This is an experience you don't want to miss.
I have never witnessed a more stunning display in my life! This couple's relationship is the epitome of purity and cuteness. Every aspect of their bond is simply beautiful and adorable! His bashful demeanour around her and how he runs to her every time he sees her is too much for me to handle! I must confess, that I did not fully comprehend the intricacies of the Emperor and Dream Weaver and their family's powers. However, I remain hopeful that Part 2 will provide further clarity. Regardless, this masterpiece was undoubtedly a 10/10 and I cannot help but blush every time I think about it!Was this review helpful to you?

KOREAN ARROGANCE AT ITS BEST
The only valuable thing ( rarely achieved in Korea cultural thief dramas) is the representation of the Ming armor, mostly accurate that the news was even spread on Chinese medias.But it's the really the 1 only thing valuable.
Historical inaccuracy both in historical fact and depiction of the reality. Japanese are depicted as cowards, and Chinese are greedy and arrogant. I should mention even the problem in speaking in Japanese and Chinese ( a student can speak way better). "Lao Ye" in a non-confidential relationship is unbearable to listen, and the depiction of a modified relationship from mutual respect to contrast is too stupid.
The big problem is that the depiction is like Korean army pretend to be able to defeat Japanese army on their own, in a showing act of supreme arrogance while it was them to ask for help to the Great Ming Empire, their sangguk, their master and owner.
The whole drama diminishes and degrades Yi Sun's sacrifice because Korea is too arrogant in their own depiction.
A show completely to miss, because it only show arrogance.
But don't be surprised, don't you know Korea created the whole world, as they themselves are convinced?

amazing acting and a good action movie
the acting was amazing from the ML to the child. The child actress surprised me. I love the action and fighting sequences. Be aware, a lot of blood. Man was bad ass.It’s a lot of blood and fights, but also a lot of emotional scenes.
- Like before she was kidnapped, when she was talking the him in the alley, about her mom and other things. My eyes got teary.
- Also, when we saw the accident of his wife death, that was so heartbreaking. It was horrible when we saw the blood running out the car…. Also,
- when the doctor said her mom was dead, the villain face said everything. His eyes were expressive, I just knew he wouldn’t let the doctor cut her eyes out. ML face was also heartbreaking when he thought she was dead.
- their reunion ❤️😭😭
- the ending scene, I was cry so bad.
I absolutely love the bond between him and the child
The mom’s death and the poor kids, that was hard to watch too.
Overall I think it’s a great movie. Good acting, fighting scenes and still really emotional
I recommend this movie
