It's the name of the street where all the nightlife is, a fictional place but highly reminiscent of the 80s - it means "8 minutes up the road". From Shibuya station.

No.

Well that's crass.
The opposite of "to meet" is "not to meet".
Imagine this famous Shakespeare line mangled and delivered with an American twang: "To be or to not be...". Prime, Netflix, all the trashy media. Basic.

If the world's a stage, where's the dressing room? This is Hachipunzaka.

She's fantastic, one guy has hit the jackpot, congratulations to them.

I give it 6 for ambition, narrative-wise it's lacking, low budget and unconvincing in the acting department.
The cover art for the film isn't representative of the content, although the girls are pretty they don't wear costumes like that.

What thing?

No, it's as clear as day. Every human I know has at least this much to deal with in life, most deal with much worse.

Don't forget that Im Yoon-a has no charisma and limited skills. She's the reason I dropped K2, had no idea who she was, just knew she was ruining the show. She's improved but she'll never be great, she's far too self aware and reserved, she's not cut out for acting.

We're all done with AI. Man, it's a bore.

I've been proved right about Confidence Queen, not that I care.

Because it wasn't. She's a high maintenance drama queen. The film was disingenuous, no inner DID personalities are other existing people - she's doing an impression of someone she knows. I feel sorry for the husband.

You're right 👍

I liked it, it was exciting and quite original the way it panned out - and also some of the characters. One loose end, not sure if deliberate or the budget ran out. Anyway, good movie, good entertainment.

Probably 11, next week will be the end

It's extremely hot and humid in Asia at this time of year, right? No air con should have immediately triggered the cancellation of the event. If would be unbearable.

This guy's a great actor, he gets better and better, he adapts effortlessly to different characters from one extreme to another and he's convincing. Take Queen Woo for example, impressive work.

Yes, sorry, I edited my previous reply - I misread "therapist" as "the rapist"

There was no rapist in the movie was there, what did I miss?

Sorry - I'm so used to reading modern slack typing I misread "therapist".

I see what you mean, I thought it would be something along the lines of divorce - this type of woman is high maintenance, pretending to have DID puts a lot of strain on the partner, a form of selfishness. Before you ask, there's no form of DID where the personality is a known 3rd party - that's just an impersonation. Her mind was very weak. None of her issues warranted professional help or recognition, everyone faces the same or worse and deals with it. I also suspect that in reality she dropped out of her job and wasn't invited back - such personalities are high maintenance in the office too

Based on what I saw in the film, she did not have DID, she was pretending. I haven't read the book, maybe it was for dramatic reasons. Sooner or later, a fraudster like this gets found out by those closest, like the husband. It becomes a completely different type of mental illness and one that's not at all palatable to an audience - generally unlikeable.

What happens in the book?
