Reviews

There were no reviews so I thought I would write one. Azumi is a really cool telling of the life of a female shinobi and how she has to constantly prove herself. The character is a very cool and strong girl, who is just finding out what romantic feelings are, dealing with losing her ninja family, betrayal, and revenge. The movie is has some really awesome ninja fighting scenes, great scenery and a bit of gore. Otherwise Ueto Aya is an awesome actress the embodiment of her character - really making you believe this character. Not as long as a drama, but a good watch and there is a sequel!

''One time's carelessness is all it really takes''

This was a really good drama. I never expected it to be like it was. I got it pretty well from the title of the drama that it would be a really sad one though, And I really liked the ending. Bittersweet in a good way. I'll leave this review spoilerless..

Kano Masaki is a young girl who for a long time have been a fan of the music producer Ishikawa Keigo. As a reward for remaining a true fan of Keigo she decides she deserves to be there on atleast one of his concerts. Spending money on a ticket for her and one of her friends, She looses her wallet with money and the tickets to his concert. Influence can be a bad thing, Especially if its given you by the wrong type of people. Fake friends are some of these. The nightclub downtown is a place where Masaki and her friends usually meets up, Always talking about the same thing. Money. The matter comes out into the open and Masaki decides that one night won't do her any harm. 50.000 yen for sleeping with some stranger just once, Going into the experience only expecting to slightly regret it after it has actually happened, She comes out of the experience with more than just the 50.000 yen. Far from what she ever expected could happen, She's now been given the HIV virus from just this one night she'll regret the rest of her life.
Allthough not knowing about this, Masaki-chan spends the night with Keigo shortly after the concert.. Finding out who her true friends really are, aswell as obtaining a new friend and love interest in Keigo, Her life from then on turns upside-down.

Kamisama Mou Sukoshi Dake is the story of a young girl who gets infected with the HIV virus from a stranger. A story filled with love and tears. An unique drama who'll give you a new way of looking at your life. It is a really good drama, I don't think it could have been any better. If you like mature dramas, Romance and Tearjerkers this drama is definately a mustwatch..

Me Too Flower is a conundrum for me. When this drama started out I was extremely pleased and excited for every episode.

I loved the original story line. Yes..I do believe it is an original story line: The fact the Jae Hui is rich but a self made man and not a chaebol, the fact that he was a nice man...simply a bit messed up from his past, the plot point of Cha Bong Sun and her need to see a counselor and her very stubborn personality and their coming together as a couple. Also, Cha Bong Sun may have had problems but she was a strong independent woman who had her own career. All of those elements came together in a very non standard Kdrama way. That pleased the heck out of me.

I loved the acting. Yoon Si Yoon was really good in King Of Baking and he was even better in this. He came into this part as a last minute add on and OWNED this part! He was excellent all the way through. Lee Ji Ah was a dichotomy of likable, sweet girl and grumpy jaded woman. And I liked that! I found her a refreshing change from the typical overly happy and good heroine. She felt real to me.

The acting was solid by the whole cast and I gave it a 10. The character development of the two leads was solid all the way through. Their chemistry was addicting as a viewer. I was rooting for them every step of the way.

Up until about 1/2 way through this drama I was a voracious addicted fiend...practically going through withdrawals until the next episode was subbed. But then something happened to the writing that went a little off for me and wilted the flower. The character of Hwa Young and the decision to set into this original story the very non original element of a scheming jealous woman. That is regrettable and why I can't give Me Too Flower a higher score than 8. She killed some of my love for this drama and I absolutely hate having to say it, but it's true.

The technical aspects of this drama were great. All except that one aspect I mentioned in the writing so I have no other complaints.

The OST is excellent! Right down the line..every song was lovely and fit this drama to a T. Especially "Dreaming" I loved the soundtrack to pieces.

My re-watch value I place at a 7 (good) because there are so many episodes of this drama I would re-watch in a heartbeat...especially 1 through 8 and again the last two. The chunk in the middle I want to rage at.

Do I recommend this? Highly. This drama is really good. I think if I had waited until it all aired and dramathoned it, maybe those episodes in the middle wouldn't have felt quite so agonizing. Give this drama a try...You won't regret it. There is so much to like about Me Too Flower.

I found this a highly entertaining, sometimes frustrating, drama.

It got recommended quite a lot and I just dropped another drama, so I started watching this one. And I'm glad I did:
-Although I do not like fantasy that much it worked perfectly for me in this drama.
-There was quite some character-development, much to my liking.
-The romance developed on a good pace and was heartwarming at times.
-The characters were believable, there personalities matched with their back-stories.
-It was funny but not the kind of humor that gets annoying.
-I cried. And that doesn't happen with dramas usually.
-The cast fitted perfectly.
-It has the best dog ever.

There were some frustrating/irritating points in it as well, though they were minor:
-The end was a bit disappointing.
-The antagonists were annoying(though you don't need to like them, they worked on my nerves)

The music fitted beautifully. It had that lighthearted fantasy feeling that was like fairy dust.

Though I don't re-watch dramas, for one who does, this one would give you the same fresh feeling every time.

This movie was cute but forgettable. I wanted to like it and went into it with an open mind. I like Kim Haneul and Jang Geun Suk a lot. I thought they had some chemistry but the extremely choppy editing killed my liking for this movie a lot. I feel like I'm being generous giving it a 6 as it is.

I understand this is based on a manga and there is a Jdrama that precedes it but I still felt like this was a tale that could be told well in a one and a half to two hour span. It wasn't. Sometimes the ending of one scene and the intro to another was so nonsensical and jarring it just threw me out of the moment and this happened more than once.

Again, this film is cute. But lower your expectations before you watch it. If you are a big big fan of Jang Geun Suk you may like this movie a lot. He's got real on screen charm and presence and so does Kim Haneul. Unfortunately, I feel their talent was wasted on poor writing and directing.

There was actually some good music in this film. But good music did not elevate it's quality for me.

My re-watch value is at one because I know I will not watch this film again.

I bought this movie for a dollar when I was like 12 and just because I was all into action asian movies. When I saw the movie I was an expert at this type of movie already and it was similar to others I had seen since there were awesome fighting scenes and music that helped the movie out as well. The beginning of the movie is one of my favorite scenes because the main actress shows how awesome she is and not just here but later on as well. I love movies like this where the female is an awesome weapon specialist or fighter. I like to rewatch the movie because it is an action movie and is very interesting and does not bore you when you watch it again. I might watch it right now after I finish this because writing about it just made me want to watch it again.

Hero is one of my favorite movies since I was 7. When it first came out my dad was the one who rented it and I saw it with him. The brilliant acting skills of Jet Li were a great advantage to the movie. The awesome fighting scenes were beyond words. They leave you speechless. I love the use of vibrant colors and how the story is given by having Namless be the one to tell the story. I keep rewatching this movie every once in a while since I was 7. When I was young I just liked how it had so much action and the colors since I would not finish reading the subs fast enough. And I would see it more I would love the movie more and understand better. The music as well is so calming and thrilling and adds to the spectacularness of the film. I couldn't have thought of another ending for this movie it suits it.

This drama was most popular over seas rather than Korean and the reason I do not know. Me living in the U.S I loved it along with all my friends who saw it we fell in love with it and not just because of Jung Yong Hwa but because the cast was incredible with him and Park Shin Hye who are amongst my favorite actors. This drama was very good to me because I am one of those people who watches a drama once its finished and all episodes are online but this one I made the mistake of watching when it barely came out and had to wait to see it after every week. I hated having to wait I like to finish dramas at most a week for the long and not so interesting ones but the awesome ones like this one I love to watch in 2 days. The OST is all in my i-pod and laptop so the music is awesome as well. I Love Heaartstrings!!
