A life requires a preparation !!

Feeling like expressing a pet and a dream...? A new social worker has a dream in a small house, and the dream is too big for her house, so she gives up...I come to a new interpretation by comparing the cactus to the size of love and heart for a lover or something. So i feel her how she go in tears. Like, I don't need you to do anything, can't you just stay by my side...

SYNOPSIS - After Woohee sent her cactus away, she met Jooyoung and talked about her.

MEMORABLE - Don’t worry. U were lonely at home. It will be better to be with friends. There will always be a lot of people visiting you. The ceiling is higher, and it will be warmer there....
VERDICT _ t it comes with a new message.

Lmao Joo Young made this funny....

Short film by the Main character of 'Color Rush'

This was based on the true story of Yook Woo Dang(real name Yoon Hyon Seok,and it's sad that he died in real life. I'm not a part of the lgbtq community but I want people to normalize it.

The type of film “Lipstick” aspires to be is clear. It wants its audience to know loud and clear that it is perfectly ok to be yourself, and that whilst some may not take to it, you should be undeterred from showing your true identity to the world.

VERDICT _ All in all, “Lipstick” is not a particularly rousing film, but it does have a strong, supportive message towards a community who find themselves marginalised in society.

A GEM - wid a MIND BENDING MYSTERY

Recalled is hasa clever script that will keep you guessing until the end. The performances are strong, but also nuanced and carefully layered. And even with Recalled being Seo You-min’s debut feature film, its super wholesome, KUDOS. When it approaches its concluding scenes near the end, it’s able to explain itself pretty well and clear things up.

VERDICT_ This can be a blessing or a curse, depending on the moviegoer. 4 me it was a damn BLESSING !!! It was a exciting psychological thriller which genuinely shocked me. It hit all the right notes when needed, & never failed to grab attention, and as a result is likely to be remembered fondly for a long time.

A very cute romantic movie!

The story is a very classic one to the fans of romantic movies and dramas. These two people make a deal to pretend to be a married couple in order for the man to be able to take the money. Little did he know that he would fall in his own trap! This story showed how one person can change after being abandoned by his loved ones and how he can become better when he has someone supporting and believing in him. It showed how important it is to admit your mistakes and take responsibility for them. Also, the movie showed couples who talk about marriage and their secrets for longlasting relationships. The main idea is that you have to commit to it and chose to love every single day -what a great conclusion!
The actors do a very good job and the main couple has great chemistry together, although there are some points where they overreact or shout. The only thing that bothered me is that they spoke two languages interchangeably through the whole movie. I would watch it again, although I usually don't do it.
All in all I do think that this movie is worth watching! It's not something that you see for the first time, but a good old classic I would say.

I am so sad, yet emotionally fulfilled !!!

The sweet and pleasant relationship established between the two leads, helped by two wonderful central performances, is more than enough to get you engrossed in the story at hand, and when push came to shove in some of the more emotional moments, I was genuinely being pushed close to tears, something that I could never have expected after that opening scene, which is why I’m giving Tomorrow I Will Date With Yesterday’s You a 8.5 overall.

The cute thing is that Emi fukuju will cry each time that a good thing will happen. But later on you would finally decide why emi was easily moved to tears, the part which i love. & i loved how the film's title appears forty-one minutes into the movie.

P.S Takatoshi and Emi fit each other so well, it is good to see them being together. Their relationship is adorable. I do agree that the whole idea of different timelines moving is amazing, but I'm not quite sure how to make it when it comes on screen. Nana Komatsu's eyes illuminated by sunlight are enough to make anyone fall in love at first sight.

Tomb Raiders in Japanese Occupied Manchuria

An ancient tomb full of treasure guarded by traps and demons! Fanged Zombies! Ninjas! An evil milk-drinking villain! Jenny Zeng in a black leather body suit! What more could one want? Abandon all plot-logic, ye who enter here.

That being said, if you're willing to go into the film with low expectations for it making any kind of sense, it's not a terrible romp in the genre. Five mutually antagonistic adventurers seek to liberate the treasure of an ancient Chinese emperor, and encounter unexpected twists along the way. Who will make it out alive? And will the writer remember what they were looking for to begin with?

Expect terrible CGI, shockingly slow fight choreo and one surprising guitar ballad that absolutely does not fit the moment.

A gripping emotional roller-coaster with bumps on the tracks

I knew this was a disaster movie going in. Like most disaster movies of any kind, you brace for a wild ride and this movie did not disappoint.
Though it had a few flaws in terms of believability for certain actions of the main characters, the overall picture painted is a stunning piece of cinematography.
The absolute best part of this movie for me was how absolutely terrifying it was to watch the fire spread everywhere like a monster attacking. The low growls and roaring sound effects used were amazing and effective, making it seem like the fire itself was alive and fighting to claw it's way through every obstacle like a monster. Yet not in an overly exaggerated way. I got chills watching the fire scenes unfold.
Next to that there are also a few scenes that pulled me out of the story again. The exaggerated performance of a firefighter staying amidst fire and smoke for hours trying to close a valve while his protective gloves have burned away, seems a bit unrealistic to me. As is the death scene of my favorite actor Zhang Zhe Han. He delivered it well enough, but it was drawn out and quite fake. I get they want to make it emotional and really wreck the viewers with sad feelings, and trust me i had them. But it's a point that is a glitch in this otherwise fantastic movie.
Next to the patriotic theme and the complexity of heroes culture, this was an amazing film. I would watch it again. 9/10

this was so bad, it was good!!!

it was ridiculous - over the top crazy and yet so much fun!!! i enjoyed every minute of this crazy ride - and there a ton of character's to love, like Ozaki's subordinate's, the President who it totally extra and Tsuburaya's fan-boy. the friend and the crazy stalker, ironically weren't that funny just crazy.

but i have to say for me the dude that kept stealing the spot-light was Ozaki - he was hilarious - donno him (the actor playing him) from Adam but he really took this character/plot and ran with it... he was everything fun and good - animated and wild - from one scene to the next, he dominated - even though donno if he will "land" the Seme position, given how hell bent Tsuburaya is to dominate his ass - literally lol - but this is hilarious and for sure a multiple rewtach...

btw i get this a whacky comedy, but Ozaki gets freakin stabbed by Tsuburaya's fan/stalker - Tsuburaya get's choked out by Ozaki infatuated friend and everything is just brushed off like meeh no big deal... get this is "out there" but still those were WTF moment's - that weren't as fun.
but other then that, this was really good - highly recommend for anyone looking for something light and fun that will keep a smile on ur face, cause of the absurdity u see - a while after the viewing.

An amazing film about self-determination

I watched this film twice, and both times have really left an impact on me at the end. For me it is an amazing story about self-determination and accepting ourselves.
At the beginning it can be difficult to familiarize with the direction, which is a bit different from most typical dramas, but I really loved it. It really is one of the best direction that I have ever seen in a japanese drama.
The director also did a wonderful work into adapting the manga into the live action, and in my opinion in this movie the introspection of some characters (like Akane, for example) is better than in the manga itself. Nevertheless, some parts are explained a bit quickly, but I think it is due to the lack of usable screen time in the film.
The cast also does a very good job into representing the characters on screen. I absolutely recommend this film (despite the bad rating and reviews that it generally has on internet), and if you want to understand better the story I recommend reading the manga before watching the movie.

considering some of the movies i've watched and dropped, this was a balm to the soul - it was so cute and endearing from the word go... liked both leads - well loved Togawa from the sec he stepped into that elevator, with a devil may care attitude. also never knew i had a thing for the constant half smirk/smile - totally added to his charm.

but what i loved more was the fact that he wasn't the typical ML - he didn't cater to his partner, just cause he was the Seme so he was supposed to let the uke use him as a psychological punching-bag to vent all the wrong's he has suffered up to this point in life. that not the type of relationship i like or am looking for in the romance genre (straight or gay) so loved that even if he was the pursuer and pushed and prodded Shima into admitting his attraction, let alone him being gay. he also made him confront his demon's and didn't go over board and left Shima to figure out what he wanted at the end.

personally i didn't like Onoda, yeah he had good intentions - but i felt that he was too intrusive in a relationship he had no part in. but that's the minus in getting involved in ur work-place, there no boundaries and everyone in the workplace makes it their business to keep updated in the couple life - so was kinda shocked that Shima having been burnt once, still couldn't distance himself from Togawa - but u can't help who u r attracted too so i didn't blame him. but it was plain to the eye to see and kinda funny.

really enjoyed this and really connected with the character's and this for sure a rewatch and happily recommend to all
