I CANT BELIEVE I WATCHED THE 3 MOVIES TO HAVE THIS ENDING

istg if i ever get a confirmation that haruto actually killed ruka I MEAN FOR WHAT LIKE PLEASE CMON THAT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE RUKA WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT UNDERSTOOD WHAT HARUTO'S BEEN THROUGH i just finished and for real im beyond dissapointed w this ending if it really is what i think it is because haruto and ruka had the perfect potential to be an amazing couple i am extremelly sad i now i have at least 15 different traumas after watching the trilogy.
i also would love to know what happens to seiya and yasaki in the future, if the boy who i forgot the name rn stays alive (seiya's "bf")
plus those two guys who kill ppl made a nice couple i actually liked them
anywayz that's it im traumatized and prob will think about these movies for a very long time and idk why i did this to myself

MY BOYS :)

This was an absolutely amazing movie, like better than what I was expecting. Gameboy's was a series that I watched on a whim and really didn't think much of because most Pinoy BL's I've seen have been pretty average. BUT I actually thought the series was really well done for a series that takes place during Quarantine AND most likely on a tight budget. It had a very very cute story and the acting is just superb. Kokoy and Elijah have really good chemistry in my opinion. This movie was EVEN BETTER than the series itself because now we actually got to see how the actors physically interact with each other in person and it did not disappoint me. I feel like they fed off each others energies really well and it seemed like they had all actually been friends for a really long time.
Let me not forget about the sex scene between Kokoy and Elijah. It was honestly one of the best sex scenes in all BL. I haven't seen a scene like this where they switch roles mid sex. I like that they put something in there like that because it's a bit more unique to the BL drama scene. Plus, the way it was filmed was absolutely alluring and beautiful.
I really enjoyed this entire movie from beginning to end. The music was great, the acting was great, the filming was great, the location was great, the lighting was great. I really don't know how else to express it.
I will be watching this again.

sad movie - great acting but freakin sad... and as much as i would like to ask "is it right to start a relationship when ur dying, losing ur mind or both..." i feel like in this instance it was more two lost soul latching onto each other, to keep from drowning -

the fact that Chan Hae wasn't with a life threatening disease, doesn't mean he was in a better place in life. that's why in-spite of it not being a great idea, he let his emotions in finding a kindred spirits rule out thoughts like, "is this a good idea", and he just did what felt right - same with Ryoko, she didn't reach out to him when she was coherent but lost and desperate, turning to the one person that was a safe haven she recognized - that didn't preach or talk down to her - but was there for her, no questions asked...

the end of the relationship was a given, and so was both their reactions - he couldn't walk away cause he genuinely cared, and if u love how can u walk away unaffected knowing the suffering awaiting the person u love?!? on her part, she wanted while she was coherent enough to do the right thing - not to turn into a burden he might come to regret - as she had previous knowledge cause of her own mothers suffering's. so they both were hurting and sad and ultimately that helped him grow as a person, let alone find something he wanted to do in life..

of course a happily ever after would be perfect, but "going in" everyone knows this will have a sad ending, as they know they will tear-up and cry - but it was a bittersweet moment throughout this movie

Killing Gives Birth to Hatred, and Hatred Kills In Its Turn

Himura Kenshin is a samurai and former assassin who has killed countless times. He soon discovers that each time he kills, it costs him a piece of himself.

Vowing to live by a new code. A code in which he refuses to kill, Kenshin becomes a very unorthodox and yet inspiring character who uses his incredible fighting skills to help those who can't fight or defend themselves.

The Wanderer finds himself coming across young Miss Kaoru who owns a fencing dojo. Her dojo is wanted the new town bureaucrat who finds that in the new Japan, money is power. Not the samurai. He buys what he wants, and sends his own paid thugs and assassins to deal with those who refuse to sell.

Kenshin finds his new vow tested to its limits. For someone who has killed countless times, what's one more? And what does it matter if it's done to protect or save someone?

The fighting choreography is probably the best I've ever seen. The speed and skillset of each move is so lightning-quick that if you blink, you'll miss a sequence.

And yet this movie is so much deeper than a mere "samurai/martial arts" film. It's about love. It's about redemption. And it's about realizing that it's never too late to change. "No one is not worthy" Kenshin reminds one of his opponents. He's not only speaking about his foe, but also reminding himself that he's not lost.

The best pearl of wisdom is spoken to the high police official who believes that Kenshin is insane for applying a code that--in his mind--is ludicrous and can't possibly work. Kenshin replies, "Killing gives birth to hatred, and hatred kills in its turn. To break that chain, I carry a sword that will not kill." Indeed, Kenshin carries a blade that is backwards to help him prevent killing.

This series is simply a work of art. It has mystical elements, bordering on the "superhero" genre, but at its core, it's about the power of justice. There are elements of humor as well as a lot of flamboyance, but I believe that this is intentional, as I'm guessing that manga series it hails from is much the same.

I watched "The Beginning" and "The Final" before Netflix finally gave us the other three films. So far, none of these films have disappointed me at all. Two hours and twenty minutes seem to fly by.

“Am I the same today, as I was yesterday?”

The main female lead is played by Han Hyo-Joo, (guessed she is a little similar 2 the 1 from W: 2 Worlds...hahah) Main character, Woo-Jin, changes bodies every day, the actors/actresses that portrays the character also changes very frequently. This movie had a different approaches in manifesting the idea.This is a adaptation & not a replica-

That being said, almost every one of the “Woo-Jin” is a top star.(COMPLETE SURPRISE 4 MEE) From Park Seo-Joon to Park Shin-Hye, to Lee Dong-Wook and Lee Jin-Wook, there’s a total of over 100 actors and actresses, ranging in varying ages, gender, nationality, and essentially every aspect of life.

Definitely something u need 2 watch if you love drama/romance films, or Korean films in general. Because the movie features such a wide range of great cast members, you’re bound to find an actor/actress you like in the film.

Amazing cinematography, plot and acting also very good.

Movie is not perfect but the cinematography is to be praised for. For me, it's one of the best aspects of the movie. I also find the movie's concept of where an ancestor is buried on having an impact to their living descendants' life and fortune
It shouldn't have been a spoiler if you know the real history that Heungseon's son became king, but as I chose to ignore the real history, Heungseon being revealed to be a cunning man planning to take the opposite sides of Kim Jwa Geun and the royal king to fight for his own son to be king is quite a surprise.
Another great plot twist that I didnt expect was the irony of Kim Jwa Geun being buried by his son. Here is a man who would do a lot of evil deeds, like burying his dead dad above royal tombs, for his family's fortune, only to have his own son kill him since son feels a greater fortune for him i achieved if his own living father is buried (dead) in the best place as well.
I watched this since its the last Moon Chae Won historical work I haven't seen, and though her scenes are minimal, she's really good in playing her part as a gisaeng. Indeed, she also excelled in her heavy scenes, especially her death scene. But, of course, the best actors in this drama are Jo Seung Woo and Ji Sung. It's so great to see Baek Yoon Shik as a villain again here, I loved his special appearamce in Tree with Deep Roots. Kim Sung Kyun, Yoo Jae Myung and the rest of the cast are also great.
Music is not memorable but fits well in the movie.
Movie is an 8.5 for me.

Just for Laughs

I did not have much expectation before starting the movie. I thought it would be the usual spy-kind-of-movie but I was proved wrong. It was very fun and I laughed a lot during the watch. I had to get through the first 20-minute mark though. The real fun started after that brief introduction. Not all movies will pique your interest right from the start just like this one but the movie deserved a chance to be watched. I especially like the fighting scenes. As expected from Korean action directors, it was very witty. The leads' chemistry is unique too. Not something that you will always see but they have pulled off the perfect chemistry suitable for the movie's vibe. Their chemistry added fuel to the fun.

If you're up for a movie that won't require a lot of thinking but is more on laughing, this one is for you.

Dis is a tale of a young man who knows when people are going to die

If u had the ability 2 see people’s fate, 2 know wen they were about 2 die, would you tell them? Even if it jeopardised ur own life? Dis is the quandary at @ de heart of Fortuna’s Eye, Takahiro Miki’s misty-eyed adaptation of Naoki Hyakuta’s bestselling novel. Kasumi Arimura, Ryunosuke Kamiki play star-crossed lovers in this fantasy romance weepie...
As the plot unfolds, it turns out as predictable as it is tedious... But I guess I'm at that point where I saw so many tearjerkers that any mediocre attempt to move me won't budge me at all.

MOVIE - https://watchasian.in/fortunas-eye-episode-1.html

The story of the movie was well thought of and done in a really great way. Maybe it's because I'm still new to the thriller and mystery genre so I'm not able to guess the plot twists and end up being on the edge of my seat all the time, enjoying every second. This movie also featured one of the biggest and most unpredictable plot twists, which I have ever seen.

The cast did a great job at playing the characters, especially the main female lead and also the husband.

I don't remember much about the OST but the background music did an amazing job during the intense and thriller scenes.

I scored the rewatch value so low for two reasons. 1) I rarely rewatch stuff. 2) Once you know the big twist, the movie wouldn't hit that hard on you. However you can still rewatch it and enjoy finding out all the smaller details and hidden meanings in it.

"Weeklong romance"

The casts did well. If you are looking for romance, this isn't the film for you. The movie explores some ordinary scenario of Filipinos living abroad. They leave home, misses it, had a glimpse of the old home (through the people they meet), succumbs to temptation, but in the end, faces reality. For me, Majhoy did not really feel the 'romantic emotion', but more on the feeling of missing her old home, the Philippines. She met Nico, reminisced the Filipino tradition, the Filipino hospitality, the Filipino bond. Nico had mistaken the giddiness of Majhoy everytime they are together as love. However, the reality is that: Since the start, Majhoy had chosen her future, her life, and that is in Faroe.
Overall, the movie depicts the truest, most realistic scenarios in such circumstances.

A roller coaster of emotions filled with real-world LGBT experiences that are not preachy.

Definitely rewatchable movie you can add to your list.

It adds to the experience if you have watched the Gameboys Series on Netflix and YouTube.

The actors deliver their lines flawlessly and the emotions are raw. They embody the character and they have chemistry. The storyline is never boarding, and each scene is packed. No fast forward here.

The LGBT issue here is real, and it happened to me. The feelings of Gav was something very relatable and that's why I hail the writer and director that they were able to accurately portray these real life characters so vividly.

The comic relief is on cue and never a dull moment.

Cinematography is sublime - It has an international film festival feel that is not budgeted.
