The ML and FL find themselves in bed together, naked, and not remembering how they got in that state. Unfortunately for the ML, who is in a six-year relationship, the FL is the daughter of a mafia boss and has three brothers who are very protective of her. In order for him not to die a horrible death, her family pushes him to marry her. Although the brothers are crude, rough, and violent, they are very sweet and endearing when it comes to family and their only sister. The FL says it best addressing her brothers: I want to find a man with a heart as good as yours, but without the fighting. Her father and brother are so proud of her: that she is smart, respectable, pretty, and sweet. They truly want her to find a good, respectable man. The ML fits their bill: handsome, smart (Seoul National University law school graduate), and a good guy. So, in their own way, they did what they needed to do in order to get their sister married to the ML: drug both their drinks, get them in bed together, and presto a forced marriage. I am not sure whether it’s the version I watched, but I felt that many scenes were edited out and seem disjointed. I think it would be nice to see this as a 16 episode drama.

Cute Fluffy Movie
The movie is fluffy cute. On one hand I like that it’s short, but on the other I wish it is a drama to help flesh out the characters a bit more. Our FL and ML grew up as neighbors, went to the same school, and ended up in college in the same major together. She is an average student who’s brash, friendly, and stands up to bullies. The ML is the typical nerdy/geeky smart kid who tends to get bullied. The movie does a decent job tying up all the loose ends given the time. Viewers probably can guess early on that the ML has always liked the FL, but she never was clued in and he never confesses until the end. So, the title is “Love the Way You Are”. Does this refer to the FL? That the ML loves her the way she is? I wish it applies to him as well. That the ML doesn’t have to transform himself into an attractive person by society’s standards: cool clothes, no glasses, braces off, new haircut. I wish he stayed in his nerdy/geeky looks.Was this review helpful to you?

I had never stopped to read their stories or get interested in their life before debuting. All have had different paths that have led them to be friends, to be a good group.
I recommend the film to understand how their success is not taken for granted, how they are committed and what they have.

i honestly just watched this because of oryo and didn't expect that it was this shitty. the fact that their parents switched partners and decided to live altogether is already a wtf factor and miki's unexpected relationship with yu adds up to it. how did they even fall in love with just limited interactions? it doesn't make sense. it also has an awfully long and boring flow that i had to fast forward a lot of times but i'll still end up with the same scene. i also don't get why they still want to be together even after they assumed that they might be really siblings by blood. that's just so messed up tbh. i wont recommend this movie at all.

What do you get when you cross a martial arts movie with steam punk, computer graphics, pop-ups, a comic book, and a video game? Tai Chi Zero.The Freak was a martial artist born with a small horn on his forehead foretelling greatness. After his mother died, he was taken in by a master (Fung Hak On) and ended up on the wrong side of a battle against the ailing Qing army. He escaped to the famed Chen Village where he hoped to learn kung fu techniques that would heal the wounds caused by his many battles causing him to be near death. Problem was, outsiders were not allowed to learn any of the techniques. He ended up fighting most of the village and the Chief Master's daughter, Angelababy (more often than not), as he tried to convince them to teach him.
Jayden Yuan, a real life wushu champion, played The Freak. Martial artists like Fung Hak On and Bruce Leung also gave the movie martials arts cred. All of which came crashing down when Angelababy's character was supposed to be a martial artist. In fairness, Jayden in only one of his two movie credits, wasn't a very strong actor so the movie needed people around him like Tony Leung Ka Fai who could act. Even Angelababy looked Oscar caliber in comparison to Jayden, though he was far more convincing in fight scenes.
I won't get into the story, because honestly, it's convoluted. Fortunately, it was fun and funny, never taking itself too seriously even when the big life or death battle began at the end. This movie is not for everyone, and it is far, far from perfect, but if you can check your brain at the door, it's diverting enough to be entertaining.
Spoiler/Not Spoiler Alert (the sequel is listed in the credits above)! There is a part three/finale.

Being Cursed Seems Quite Steamy
Okay so I wish this was longer first off. This was such an interesting concept and I'm lowkey angry that it was reduced down to such a shortened story. Like please fund this like a K-Drama would! Everyone in this was solid. This was also super steamy so be prepared for that lol. Definitely give this some love and maybe someday in the future there will be more added onto it in a series format or lengthened film. That tends to garner more attention from studios or funders when an outpour of support is targeted towards a certain project!Was this review helpful to you?

オレンジ
I have read the manga and when I saw there was a movie, it instantly became my favourite to watch.Orange is about a sweet love story, one day Naho receives a letter from her future self, the same day a new student transfers into her school. His name is kakeru and he is so handsome. Naho reads the letter and gets very supriced, but things go slow and exactly how the letter is written for Naho and kakeru.
Tao tsuchiya is so pretty and is an amazing character for this movie, kento is also very handsome and makes a great couple with Naho-chan. I like how their romance is going slow and humble.
The movie is sad but also it makes you realise how much you can love a person.
I higly recommend this movie ♡

The FL is a softball sports star. Upon entering high school, she decides to give up softball and focus on obtaining a love life. Since she’s been a tomboy most of her life, she’s unable to attract anyone. By chance, she meets the ML who’s an upperclassman, handsome, and popular. He agrees to coach her with the goal of getting a boyfriend. However, the agreement is canceled should she fall in love with him. The movie is light-hearted and funny. The FL plays her character well as the awkward tomboy. She stays in her character and consistent throughout the movie; I appreciate that she didn’t really change the way she dressed or do her hair. I also appreciate that the FL doesn’t go through this transformational phase from ugly duckling to swan like we’ve seen in many similar dramas/movies just so that the ML could fall in love with her. The ML instead slowly falls in love after spending time with her and seeing all her good qualities. He doesn’t need to see her with a make-over because he just loves her for her.

Although it’s been a while since my teen years, when I am watching this movie, all the feelings, the angst, hope of being at that age at the cusp of adulthood. Chen Chen, after discovering that her parents have divorced, lied to her, and only staying together for her until she passes the gaokao, decides to fail the exam in the hopes of her parents reconciling. In her scheme, she inadvertently involves Zheng Yu Xing, by saying that she failed because she broke up with him. Zheng Yu Xing, being a carefree person, decides to go along with her ruse. He himself fails to take the exam because he was trying to get back together with the woman he loves. These two, who are hurting emotionally and just trying to stay above waters from all the family, school, and academic pressures, begin to form a strong friendship. Slowly, maybe, we see Chen Chen starting to like Zheng Yu Xing, but also knowing that he’s still in love with Ming. At one point she tells him, “maybe one day we will both accept that the one we love do not love us back.” The last scene, we see an older Chen Chen, maybe she’s in college now or older, and she seems happier, calmer. She goes to a music festival and sees DJ XYZ as one of the acts. She’s in the crowd with a slight smile on her face, watching Zheng Yu Xing on stage. We don’t know if they are still in contact, still friends or more. It’s pretty open to interpretation. I would like to think that they remain friends, supportive of each other, and have found their happiness, whatever that may be. Was this review helpful to you?

This Tore My Heart to Pieces
I started watching this at 11:00 at night, and by the end of the movie, I was a crying mess at 2:00 in the morning. I love Roy Chiu’s acting and portrayal of A Cheng so much. This is a guy who somehow survives and thrives in the world of loan sharks when he he has such a warm and kind heart. He himself is a victim of this underground world when his brother’s business went bankrupt. A Cheng pays off his brother’s debt by being an enforcer. When he and his gang go to collect on the debt of the FL’s father, he instantly falls in love. He, at first, tries to tempt her through various horrid schemes to pay off her debt such as selling her body or her organs. Maybe he wants to see what kind of woman she is and whether she is good and filial as she seems. Through his final scheme, her going on non-sexual dates with him, he falls more deeply in love. She starts to soften her heart when she witnesses the many kinds acts from A Cheng. This movie just tore my heart to pieces. I want A Cheng to have a happy ending: marry the love of his life, leave the gangster life, thrive in the tea shop business with his wife, and become a father because A Cheng would have made a great father.Was this review helpful to you?

Main character has a syndrome similliar to alzheimer and cause of that he won't be able to box
Not bad movie, kinda liked it. It was all about or mostlly about his syndrome and about him wanting to box but he couldn't at the end cause of the syndrome. Really liked the female lead, and for the male lead they made his character in story really weird like if i personally would meet him in the street i would be scared of him. For me not bad movie, should have better ending or season2 and they really should have made the male character less weird.__________________________________________________________Was this review helpful to you?

A small neighborhood in Tokyo is turned upside down when two little boys take a vow of silence because they want a television set. Of course, that's not all that's going on with the adult neighbors. Each family unit is facing their own challenges whether retirement is nearing, or a father can't find a job, or when the gossip generated from the have and have nots tears at the fragile fabric of relationships held together by the traditional greeting of "good morning".The focus of the story is two little boys who visit a neighbor's house to watch sumo wrestling on their TV. The neighbors are deemed unseemly, read different, and the boys are forbidden from visiting them anymore. When the boys hold their ground demanding a television the father tells them to be quiet and they decide to take a vow of silence.
The father is afraid that having a television in the house will breed idiocy by drowning out small talk which is the "lubricant" of society. The boys view small talk as idiocy. And around and round they go. The boys' vow of silence creates ripples of discord in the neighborhood when they neglect the customary "good morning" setting up another wave of gossip.
You can see in the English lessons and television, the creeping American influence and Western pressure on the families. The television is not the only problem, a neighbor who buys a washing machine is judged for spending money on a convenience. The shunned family with the television feels compelled to move. The movie not only displays a generational conflict, but a cultural conflict as well.
The small talk the adults value so dearly where love declarations are made through a banal conversation about the weather, also bury resentments, envy and fears. No one questions drinking as a means of escape, or cruel gossiping.
Good Morning was bolstered by the young actors' sweet performances in their silent war. A spare, gently comedic slice of life film, showcasing a cast of well-developed minor characters dealing with everyday problems and a changing world was quite entertaining.
