A chaotic, painful, but strangely beautiful ride
First of allí the cinematography was stunning, now about the drama ;At first, I didn’t get much of what was going on. Everything felt confusing. But as the story unfolded, things started to make sense… and also started to hurt.
Let’s be honest: the way Haoren treats Chihiro at the beginning is horrible. He abuses him! He literally r4pes him 😕 and never apologizes for it.
Then he gets jealous, and instead of protecting Chihiro from his abusive ex, he humiliates him in front of everyone by throwing a drink on him at the bar. Was it effective? Yes. It forced Chihiro to finally see how little his ex valued him. But could it have been done differently? Absolutely.
And that infamous line outside the bar:
"I’d rather be a mobile sex toy than portable trash."
…like, what?! 💀💀💀 That’s not romantic. That’s just messed up.
But despite all of that, the story somehow manages to grow into something deeper. Haoren’s character development is actually excellent. You begin to understand that he’s not just cruel, he’s deeply wounded. His childhood was pure hell! And everything he does is rooted in trauma and survival. That doesn’t excuse what he did, but it does explain it. Still… a simple “I’m sorry” would’ve gone a long way.
What truly redeems the story for me are the small details; the little ways they start to care for each other. And the ending? That hit hard. Haoren doesn’t drag Chihiro into his darkness. He lets him go. He goes to prison and tells him to chase his dream… and Chihiro does. And then Haoren waits. For three years. That reunion? Perfect. Bittersweet. Deserved.
They needed therapy halfway through, not gonna lie. But I genuinely hope they’re happy now. They earned it and fully deserved it. 💓

Hermosa.
It’s only 30 minutes, but Journey to the Shore hits hard. It tells a full emotional, and painfully story. I didn’t expect to feel so much in such a short time.Sambeon’s development is the heart of it. Watching him struggle between guilt, love, and helplessness was heartbreaking. And Minha wanting to die, needing to escape...it’s brutal, but honest. You slowly realize he did take his life, and it just crushes you. No melodrama, just a quiet, heavy truth.
But then there’s that scene at the beach. That one moment of freedom, of peace. Just the two of them, far from the cruelty, being who they are without fear. It’s beautiful. It’s fleeting. And it hurts even more because you know it couldn’t last. But still for a second, they were able to be happy 🥲

Enamorada. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Seriously this is one of my comfort shows, I love them so much, all of the cast did an incredible job. This ending was sad but perfect (taking the especial episode where they end up together dancing in the sky) I loved this series with all my heart, it was funny, it was emotional, I loved the chinese culture, everything perfect, if u as me wish you could watch it again for the first time I highly recommend y'all the book "Faraway Wanderers" where this drama is based on, it is SOOO good I couldn't stop reading, and there is no censure so in the novel they kiss and all this stuff (sorry if my english isn't good, it isn't my first language I just wanted to express how much I love this serie, I even have merchandising 🙂↕️)Was this review helpful to you?

Dont waste your time
First of all, the main character has been making me very nervous the entire movie, in a bad way, she is very pretty but she is literally the one who does the least of the six, maybe along with Rei, but all the others would have served a thousand times more as the main character, even the boy who at first does nothing then helps a lot along with the athlete that is always sacrificing himself, the boy who is bullied is the smartest with great ideas and the other girl is brave and has things clear, the protagonist always stays still crying.Also there are a lot of plot holes and the ending doesn't make sense. They wasted all the potential of the story, at least it could have been scary.
Dont waste your time.
I give it a 5 for the photography and the acting, thats all.
