On My Boss, My Hero Feb 6, 2014
It was funny and captivating; I always loved Yakuza themed dramas/movies and the Japanese sense of humor. It was hilarious but Yusha Yoshihiko is the funniest drama I ever saw, hands down.
On Ip Man: The Final Fight Feb 6, 2014
The final chapter of the "Ip Man" saga is actually good. It doesn't deal with the martial arts and fighting like the previous movies but it actually deals with Ip Man's final twilight years. I appreciated it and Anthony Wong was great as usual.
On Thirst Feb 6, 2014
Title Thirst
For starters, I am a big sucker of vampire stories and the male lead Song Kang Ho is one my favorite ahjussi's in cinema.
This movie was cool; more of a human vampire story than a gory one, the mature scenes bothered me somehow and the developments were a little slow but I liked the general feel as well as the ending and the cinematography.
I also got the chance to see Kim Ok Bin again; I really like that actress, she's talented.
On Galileo Feb 6, 2014
Title Galileo
I enjoyed this drama very much, I liked the way they don't focus on finding the murderer but the main concern was to find the way the crime was committed. Although they used physics as a way to reach their goals, I found the drama quite smooth and easy to follow with lots of intriguing cases.
On Memories of Matsuko Feb 6, 2014
Mind blown! In a good way!
It was beautifully shot, full of amazing cinematography and top-notch acting as well as intriguing storytelling.
I wasn't even expecting something great out of this and I just love it when a movie surprises me!
On Dead Or Alive: Hanzaisha Feb 6, 2014
Brutally violent, gory, dark yakuza story and Miike. Yup that would be my top thing if they didn't include those disturbing sexual scenes, they were disgusting. I wonder when on earth they will stop producing gory movies without mature scenes, it's like they're making them inseparable or something except some of course.
The ending scene was totally crazy that it left me loling, not crazy in a funny way though.
On The Berlin File Feb 6, 2014
Such a great movie! A South Korean Action/Thriller about a North Korean secret spy is something I would enjoy and I did.
Let's not forget the amazing set of actors, Ha Jeong Woo and Han Seok Kyu were awesome in this alongside Jun Ji Hyun and Ryoo Seung Bum. Korean movies' actors never fail to deliver great performances.
On New World Feb 6, 2014
Title New World
It's a mix between Godfather and Infernal Affairs (The Departed) made in the Korean way. I really enjoyed this movie although that "twist" was no way to be surprising in my book. Korean gangster pictures just keep getting better and better over the years.
Oori Ahjussi's were awesome in this (acting wise of course). Lee Jung Jae ahjussi and Choi Min Sik ahjussi never disappoint. Even Park Sung Woong and Hwang Jeong Min did a great job.
On Badges of Fury Feb 6, 2014
It was good but not very good. I liked the parodies they used but the mystery and the fake effects were less than average. Even the action wasn't that solid.
Absolutely not one of Jet Li's best movies, he could've chosen a better film for 2013.
On The Grandmaster Feb 6, 2014
liked this movie and I am glad I watched it after I finished the whole Ip Man's movies. The cinematography was mesmerizing and the acting is high class. I mean it's Tony and Zhang Ziyi as main leads but I think what I disliked about this movie that they didn't focus on Ip Man's story like they were supposed to.
Anyway, it was a good watch. No regrets.
On The Gifted Hands Feb 6, 2014
Let me first state that I didn't watch this because of Kim Bum; although the guy can be an epic eye candy but I actually saw this because it's a suspense thriller aka my favorite genres in Korean cinema.
Now, let's talk about the movie. It was a pleasant watch and a good thriller but it could've been done way better than this. There was something missing in the plot and the second half was more enjoyable than the first one.

Acting wise, Kim Bum was cool but Kim Kang Woo outclassed him from any angle you look at it. Also, Kim Yoo Bin is forever one of my favorite child stars.
On Platinum Data Feb 6, 2014
This film was a Sci-Fi mystery/detective thriller and I appreciated the pattern and the facts reveal although it was a bit predictable with some pacing problems but it's totally recommendable for thriller lovers who don't mind the Sci-Fi element.

The acting department was pretty cool, nothing less to expect from Toyokawa and Ninomiya did a great job.
I am not Arashi's or Asian music's fan in general, I mean I don't even know a dingle song by them but I've got to say that the group has some great actors in it. The best ones are totally Ohno and Ninomiya then Sakurai and Matsumuto.
On Suspect X Feb 6, 2014
Title Suspect X
The movie was pretty cool and somewhat different from the drama, I was a little generous with my rating though.
On Switch Feb 6, 2014
Title Switch
Now that was a disappointment, the worst action thriller I saw in the last few years. The director of this movie should be banned from doing others. It's such a waste of budget and Andy Lau's talent. Darn it, how can Andy choose such a film?
The action scenes were pretty random and pacing was off most of the time. I am being a bit nice with my rating.
On The Secret Female Ninja Feb 6, 2014
That was stupid, childish and with disastrous acting skills. I watched it months ago and I decided to come back and lower the rating once again. In short: a complete waste of time.
On Christmas Rose Feb 6, 2014
Charlie Young's debut as a director can be considered a success. But you can sense a woman's touch in this.

This is a courtroom movie; it can be considered a mystery thriller in search for the truth behind a case of sexual assault. A theme that's not very common in Asian Cinema. The movie failed to surprise me in anyway. I was sure about what will happen from the get-go but the theme, the concept and the short length were much appreciated.

Let's not forget the amazing actors who made this film an enjoyable ride. Aaron Kwok and Chang Chen are personal favorites and two of the few actors who keep getting better over the years in HKC cinema. On the other hand, Kwai Lun Mei was quite convincing with solid performance here.

The sweetest birthday wishes Sandrose, may your life be full of joy and countless of precious moments. I don't know if it already passed February the 6th in your country though.

About Reply 1994, I found the length of episodes rather annoying. Sometimess it even gets to almost 2 hours sometimes. tvN was over doing it but R.1994 did break the records in the ratings for a cable channel.

You're very welcome; I really liked the Japanese version but sadly, there was no subtitles; I watched it raw trusting my Japanese lingual skills and it worked for me. Maybe you should try that too?

Aha! This looks exactly like OCN's "The Ghost Seeing detective" but who cares? I am detective dramas' fan and Oguri is one of my favorite actors so I am going to watch it no matter what.
Also, the Korean and Japanese ways of doing detective dramas is very different.
