A little dissapointed

Well unfortunately much like Fraxer, me also the fans of the manga. So yeah I also have a lot of disappointment when come to the casting. Nakamura Aoi and Takahashi Ai is quite unfit for the role of Toma & Kana. Especially Nakamura Aoi, he is much too tall for the role of Toma. But for Takahashi Ai, actually I don’t really have much comments, just feel she's not really fit the role.

Put that a side. Let's talk drama...

This drama tell story about 2 high school student named Toma So & Mizuhara Kana. Toma is a genius boy, who's abandoned his study in MIT, America, to study at Japan. In Japan, Toma met Kana, his schoolmate. Intrique by the new boy, Kana decided to be friend him. And together they solved many cases.

Now I'll try to talk what I like and don't like and put aside my fans side.

What I like:
+ Kana is one interesting girl that's really bring positive to everybody around her.
+ I really like how they close the curtain. That's really help Kana & Toma to realize their feeling toward each other.
+ The story quite true to the manga without adding much sugar...

What I don't like :
- Nakamura Aoi can't relly bring the quirky or lonely side of Toma So.

Overall this an ok drama with the disappointment for us the fans... The quite high score just because I'm still glad they still stick to the manga. If not I really don't know what score will I give this.... But put that's a side, this still, unfortunately, one forgettable drama...

Zhang Yu Xi and Wang Zi Qi of course here I come... Let's talk drama...

This drama talk about a man name Qin Hao / Ji Cheng Chuan (QH) & a woman Song Yao (SY). This drama open with SY work to give lesson to the scumbags man that treat woman badly. SY has special ability, any man who is worth hundreds of millions will imagine SY as the woman in their dream and fall in love with her inextricably as long as they looked into her eyes for more than 3 seconds. (Talk about the superpower we, woman, secretly or not want to had. To attract any man with money of course... Haha...)

Later on, SY and her team get job from someone to give lesson to QH. That man said, QH is one ungrateful child that didn't acknowledge his father for the family fortune. SY that got a little bad experience from QH decided to take the job. Just to find out later on, her charm not working toward QH. Wondering what's going on, she keep close to QH and later they found out QH not who he said he is. Or like MDL wrote: 'he is not "Ji Cheng Chuan (CC)" who is the prince of Cheng Tian Group. but an impostor named Qin Hao'.

QH infiltrate Ji's family not for the fortune, but to investigate the truth about the past. QH's dad died in the fire together with CC & his mom. QH determined to know the truth & the perpetrator behind it. That fire accident, gave QH severe PTSD & trauma for fire, even the smallest fire scare him to death. Later of course our FL, SY, help QH overcome his fear & I'm glad, QH not overcome the fear at once, you know just by one time all the PTSD & trauma just disappear.

Together, QH and SY go through many incident together that make them closer to each other each time. And slowly but sure, the trust also slowly but sure built among them. Until they really fall in love & completely trust each other. And in the end they found out the truth about QH real identity & the real bad guy for all the bad things happen in the family.

What I like:
+ The chemistry between Zhang Yu Xi and Wang Zi Qi. Although I can't say it feel with all the heat, but I quite like it.
+ The friendship between all SY & QH friend. Even at the end they can rely on Sheng Si Lin.
+ Finally some SFL that use her brain and eyes when choose her man. Of course I'm talking about Song Ling Ren (LR). She used to like QH, but later she saw how good Gu Zi Jun treat her & decided to change her heart. I really like LR in the end not become obsessed nor jealous for QH & SY relationship.
+ Sometimes blood relationship is something amazing. Like how much QH's mind changing after he learn the truth about himself. Or like how no matter how jelous his brother toward QH, in the end he is still his brother...

Overall this quite interesting drama to watch...

Below I'll write a little bit about the plot hole that I notice. But that's also mean SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it with ur own risk!!!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

The plot holes:
? When you married you supposed to bring your family register. But here QH nor SY bring it... Talk about rush. Haha...
? QH said his dad died in the fire accident years ago. But when there're flashback, we never once see him in the screen. And later who adopt QH and gave his identity I'm not clear.

Overall this is a wonderful story about relationships, between family, partner & ourselves.

NOT THE SAME WITH Yesterday Once More

Intrique to watch this because thinking Yesterday Once More (Chinese Movie) is the adaptation of this movie, so I just want to compare these 2. But silly me for not reading the summary. Because if you're reading the summary you'll know these 2 movie nowhere near the same. Don't know why MDL link this 2 together.

But anyhow....

This movie very much like the title: My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday. Story about Minamiyama Takatoshi (MT) who meet Fukuju Emi (FE) on the train & fall in love with her. Build up the courage, he decides to talk to her. No long after that they decided to date & the story rolling with one big secret FE hiding under the blanket.

What will you do if you're FE? If me, maybe I'll try to avoid meet up with MT in my young year (20ish). It's beautiful & meaningful but also one painful memory that I've had to go through.

One really interesting concept of story but really hard to swallow. I have to re-watch it a few time to understand & let it settled in my mind. But it still beautiful in the end. And the vibe is really calm & give positive vibe all over....

Overall If you want to watch something new or fresh, you can try this movie. In the end this is not a movie that I've regret watching.

Long time not find a drama that's suck me in in the first few min. Haha... Interested to watch for Lin Yi & Zhou Ye. And I'm quite glad I've watch this....

Story about online friends that meet up in the game. Gu Xun (GX) & Yue Qian Ling (QL) both met while playing online together, GX like the character of his female online friend without realizing who she is. While QL herself has long held feelings for her university idol, GX.

Having the opportunity, QL decided to get closer to GX by pretend she's one 'pure white' girl, girl characteristics liked by many boy, only to find out that GX don't like that characteristics at all. And still on the day of the graduation, she decided to confesses her feeling to GX, just only to be cruelly rejected!

On the same day, GX finally find out who is the girl player that's he actually like. And that's make him quite devastated, and that's quite funny to watch, one of the scene that's I really like to re-watch over & over.... Since that's faithful day, GX try to make up for his mistake, while QL try to move on....

And their situation getting more interesting or complicated, cause GX & QL work in the same company & live in the same building just across the hall. After QL finally lifted her pretend face & GX know who she is, GX find out how talented QL actually is & try to include her in his team & that's make the story even more interesting to watch... Haha... How will they story goes in the end...? Let's find out urself....

Ok enough about the story. Now let's talk about what i like and don't like about this drama.

What i like:
+ The chemistry between Zhou Ye & Lin Yi. It's like watch friends falling in love with each other
+ How GX try to make up his mistake to QL.
+ The cute & stupid relationship between Jiang Jun Nan & Chen Xin Yi.

What i don't like:
- One stupid plot. All this time GX & QL play with their voice, like speaking through mike & not using fake voice. How come none of them realized who the other player are, when they meet each other.

Overall this really one good youth drama to watch....

Long time heard about this drama. Finally finished watched this...

This drama followed the journey of Jiang Hu (JH), who fall from riches after her dad's died. She has to endure hardship & humiliation from her rich friends. But that's didn't make her desperate for long, since she had to save her father company from falling to the ground. With dignity, endurance, hardwork & help from all friend (new & old) / family she finally manage to raise the company again. When everything seems great, suddenly JH feel betrayed again & she need to raise again from the ground. How will she manage everything in the end...?

Now what i like from this drama:
+ The strong JH. Oh she one strong woman. She never let her feeling get the best of her. Even though she's feeling down from all the betrayal, it not consume her for long time, she's quick to raise & move forward with her life.
+ The cute Gong Jun. Haha... I really like Gong Jun as Xu Si (XS) here. Even though he's so selfish regarding his decison for Tang Yue. But i still really like XS & JH together. And I really like he in the end learn something from his plan regarding Tang Yue.
+ The loyal Yang Jian. He's one friend that JH always can rely on. And their feeling never mix with romance, it just mutual trust & support as friend. Once more proof that woman & man can actually be friend without having romantic feeling toward each other.
+ Everyone have evil side. I mean like JH's dad, usually FL's or ML's family is so good, even when did business it's always on the good side. But here we finally can see on man that we think good at first turn out he had evil side of him that he hide from his daughter.
+ Gao Yi. This man is a mysterious man from the beginning. We don't know he is bad or actually good man. But I like how everything unrevealed in the end.

Overall this one good drama.

Watch this for 2 of our main lead Chen Xing Xu & Zhang Ruo Nan. But in the end more like the 2nd couple, Cheng Xi (CX) & Wu Jun (WJ).

Quite confuse what score to give to this drama. Quite bored in the middle, quite confuse with all the legal stuff, but also quite entertained with several scene. So just settle with 7 in the end.

The story begin with our FL, Cheng Yao (CY), who quit her job due to keep getting unimportant task from her old job. Like have to company her boss in various meeting & drinking party. CY got new job & must move to new place & by 'coincidence' move to the same flat with the ML, Qian Heng (QH), which also turn out to be her new boss.

The story rolled after that not so strange for us. CY did her job wonderfully & make QH fall in love with her & of course as usual CY also fall in love with her amazing boss....

Oh i forgot to mention we also have the classic problem... QH happen to be insomniac & only CY can put him to sleep. Unfortunately later on they kinda forget about this problem. Or u may say they 'cure it'. Never really mention in the first place how QH have problem with it, just a few brief moment about it, really hope they elaborated more about this....

Ok. That's briefly about our drama. Now what I like & don't like about this drama. What I like first:
+ The good chemistry between Zhang Ruo Nan & Chen Xing Xu. Not saying this is the best chemistry for them, but they quite compatible.
+ The 'stupid' QH. Sometimes it just funny to see how stupid man when comes to relationships.
+ The second couple Cheng Xi (CX) & Wu Jun (WJ). As I stated before, I more like their story. They have more steady story to develop, their story also more logic & overall just more realistic that our main couple.
+ The stupid Bao Rui (BR). Haha... This guy is so stupid & cute. He can't take a slight hidden gesture, even a big reveal, like when Tan Ying & Yu Fei already tell him about their relationship, BR still take it as a joke....
+ The way QH learn about how to see CY in the equal level with him in the end. This actually that bump the score of this drama a little bit more for me.... Yeah quite hate him & frustrated with him at first when he still didn't understand when CY told him that QH never really put his shoes in her feet. But all turn out good in the end.
+ Strong opinionated FL. CY looked like soft woman from the outside, she didn't talk much. But she had several unwavering opinion, that in the end also make QH have softer heart & new understanding about human relationships.

Now what I don't like:
- The stupid & slow QH. Yeah although he's a little bit cute when he need to search every little thing on Baidu. But it really frustrated me when he didn't want to acknowledge his feeling for CY. And the way he get jealous over little things also annoyed me...
- The legal term that this drama use. Sometimes it just bored me & make me confuse even. Maybe cause it just slightly different then my country...
- the unnecessary love rival. Ugh... I already so happy when they don't have love rival in the beginning till middle of the drama. But when suddenly they threw Liang Yi Ran it made me slightly grumble
- This drama gave slight pic that man should protect their woman, and woman can't do much without man protection. Yeah that changes in the end. And I hope it enough to put understanding into woman & man who watch this drama.

Overall this quite good drama to watch

Gonna complain & spoiled big time.....

Watch this cause part of our sky. One of the bad apple with many2 plot holes... Let's discuss drama...

Plot holes:
* It's weird for Nuengdiao as the biggest donor at school or you can say rich boy doesn't have any friend, even get bullied at school. Make no sense at all... Usually at least there's 1 'friend' or follower that try to get closer to get the benefit from being friend with rich guy. For this to be the fact we need background story, maybe someone ever take advantage of Nuengdiao so he trust no one or what.... Unfortunately no background story at all.... So yeah just makes no sense....
* Where the hell is security or bodyguard....?? Hello... Nuengdiao's dad just get murdered, not even made to look like an accident accident, it just MURDERED & the Perpetrator haven't been caught & yet so damn easy to get to Kiattrakulmethee's house to shot the wife & son. OH MY GOD!!! How stupid you are... Oh and after his mom get shot still no security to secure the house... The proof? Nuengdiao easily just enter his house. Yeah I know2 that's his house, but isn't his uncle supposed to be looking for him. Even he didn't monitor the house it just plainly stupid & weird all together....
* Why must hide the fact Palm work for Nuengdiao, to protect Nuengdiao. Make no sense. His dad just get MURDERED & he as the only heir to Kiattrakulmethee's family makes sense to have bodyguard lurking around.... So what if the bodyguard is the same age with Nuengdiao, it's not weird. It's maybe even better cause Palm can be near Nuengdiao as much as possible. Like in the class, cause it's weird to have bodyguard in the classroom, but if u're the same age as Nuengdiao u can join the school. Palm called to be bodyguard but can't be in the same car with Nuengdiao, what if something did happen, will Palm's dad only enough to protect Nuengdiao? Isn't gonna be better if Palm in 1 car with Nuengdiao. Overall it just so so weird... I run out word to describe it....
* Nuengdiao too easy adapt from rich lifestyle to run away & do all the job or housework. Never see someone that easy to switch lifestyle....
* The weird relationship between Kiattrakulmethee's family. The uncle-dad-mother-Nuengdiao-Chopper. It just they try to make family relationships but everything feels wrong... Like how Chopper try to friend with Nuengdiao, but never really friend too...
* Where the heck is the board member. Company that big have no shareholder or board member is so weird... After Nuengdiao's dad gor killed his mother just automatically become the CEO & after that his uncle & Nuengdiao himself in the end, usually there's drama with board member... Haha...

What i don't like apart from the plot holes:
- The forced relationship that Palm's dad try to make Palm does to Nuengdiao. He really see himself as lower class & kinda forced Palm to act like it.
- The cringey relationship between Palm & Nuengdiao. I don’t know how to describe it. Maybe just like Shiro wrote: "there are some sweet well preformed moments here and there but neither of the leads are very good with facial expressions and emotions. That said both are pretty good at delivering physical scenes as well as action and tension. However the moment they are supposed to feel something it just becomes cringey be it sadness, love (not lust though), anger... It just feels off...." Yeah i agreed. It just feels off....
- Mom always baby-ing Nuengdiao. She always said want Nuengdiao to be strong & grow... But u still baby-ing him, how can he be strong & grow... Ugh....

The only thing that I like from this maybe how in the end Nuengdiao grow up & learn to take his responsibility in family business....

Overall maybe just like jpny01 wrote: "It wants badly to be a PG-rated KinnPorche" but failed in general... Everything just feels off....

This drama like the summary told us, tell story about Suzuki Shizuka who work as office woman one day hypnotized & start to imagine herself in drama musical, so she dance & sing along. Even the slight music as ring tones or someone singing will make her sing & dance. The day after she's realize no cure for her 'sickness' she go find the man to make it stop, just to realize he disappeared already. So together with Saito Chie they begin their journey to find Ueda Martin.

Saito Chie herself is the employee of Martin that help him fools people. But with Martin, Saito find 'purpose' & pleasure. Saito at first looked like is one very cheerful, friendly & outgoing girl, she's easy to get along & make friends. But with the journey we find the hidden layer. She's insecure & vulnerable girl that try to hide it with her cheerfulness. But she's also in the end proof herself as a good friend for Shizuka.

This movie tell us how sometimes we must let our inner child out & just remembering our childhood dreams & bring the best of ourselves. Really funny to see the diff between the scene in Shizuka head when she dance with the actual scene after her dance. Haha...

One thing that's really confuse me is... What the true purpose of Murakami Ryosuke toward Suzuki Shizuka. He has hidden motive for approaching Shizuka, but unfortunately they never explored it more, so yeah we just never know...

Overall this really one good movie. Really happy to be able to watch this...

Yeah i need a little bit more...

This comes to my YT feed after watch several Dilireba short video.

Unfortunately although the story quite good & have meaning, I still a little bit more explanation, aka duration to make this more decent or complete....

They build enough information about Dilireba character, but her opponent feel lacking something... And the way it end abruptly like this feel like something really missing....

I also really hope I can see the exhibition that Dilireba plan to do....

For u who want to watch but lazy to scroll down here the link: https://youtu.be/MuO6yirHm7k. Oh yeah while u already start watching, just stay tuned until the end. There's some scene left after the credit.

What an ending...

Long time want to watch this but quite hesitate cause of Johnny Huang. Quite bored see him only in military drama. But in the end quite glad I'm watching this...

Quite confusing reading the summary given by MDL, if I only read the summary here, prob not gonna press the play button...

The story start with a girl, Nan Chu (NC), rescue by fire fighter from fire accident. When NC want to met her savior, she learned that the fire fighter died not long after recue her. Then the scene move forward to 5 years later, when NC grow up to be a dancer, but due to her financial problem she finally sign contract with management artist that give her the job to be in reality show aimed at promoting firefighting knowledge.

In that show NC met many fire fighters but her get most impression with Lin Lu Xiao (LX) , the head of station. After sometimes in their interactions, NC finally learn that the one that actually saved her 5 years ago is LX. & finally their love journey begin...

What I like:
+ The lesson about fire hazard in the beginning & end of each episode.
+ The Family of fire fighter. One really solid family relationship between all the fire fighter.
+ The good chemistry between Johnny Huang & Zhang Jing Yi
+ No stupid love rival. There's a little bit competition to win over NC, but in the end the other party just drop it, maybe a little bit too fast. But he makes no drama about it. Even after NC & LX separated...

What I don't like:
- NC is like the curse girl that attract fire. Haha... In the drama she involve with big fire accident, are like 4-5 times. That's too many for me. She's already like Conan or Shinichi that attract case where ever he go. Haha...
- The stupid separation between NC & LX. They even lost contact with each other
- The open ending that makes me want to scream WHAT THE H*CK!!! We really need special episode for this...

Overall this one fire fighter drama that a little bit too close to reality. We get the bond of each fire fighter, the death & all the incidents... Prepare tissue if you want to watch this. Haha...

Watch this of course for Xing Fei & Xu Kai Cheng. One drama that sweet at first but become boring at the end.

Kinda agreed with Grumpy Witch, this should be end about 20-24 ep, that's gonna be the best. But they must continue until 32 ep. And that's just d*mn too long....

Funnily, also kinda agreed with Grumpy Witch when they wrote: 'Once the Zhou Wei (?) villain situation was “resolved”, I thought “finally!”. But no! The drama had more plans in store for us.'Haha... Yeah... After the drama with Zhou Wei done, it's just feel they kinda prolong the drama with more issues.

Although the drama with An Jing Ling kinda interested, but i think they can merge it together with zhou wei time. So everything kinda happen together & gonna resolve more quickly...

The chemistry between Xing Fei & Xu Kai Cheng also feel a miss. I know they try to looked intimate with the jelaous, clingy & sulking like couple used to do. But the connection is just not there...

Overall this quite unique story, but everything feel kinda out of place...

Something a miss

Watch this of course for Cheng Yi & Zhang Yu Xi 2nd drama. Again the best part of pick the old partner is no more awkwardness between the actor/ess.

Really want to like this drama. After everything that Fu Yun Shen (YS) & Zhu Jiu (ZJ) go through here. But in the end something feel a miss when they close the curtain. I really hope we get extra/special/ a little more episode to make this drama more perfect or ending with better note.

What i like:
+ the chemistry between Cheng Yi & Zhang Yu Xi. Feel like reunite 2 old friend.
+ my 2 fav old actor & actress, Paul Chun & Cao Cui Fen. Play as grandma & grandpa for our ML & FL.
+ all the hardship in YS & ZJ relationship only to make their bond stronger over time.
+ after everything that happen in FU family, in the end family still family. And as always, blood is thicker then water play a big role here.

What a miss:
The ending.... I don't know feel like they push fast forward button in the end. Everything wrap so fast we don't have time to swallow properly. Really hope they prolong the ending & shorten the middle part. Cause sometimes the middle part feel a little bored & it's like they prolong some scene....

Overall this quite good drama to watch...
