Love the wizardry!
I love the fantasy element of it, especially the wizardry. I miss watching show like this- very well doneNow, bear in mind, it's a 2009 production, so you can't expect it be 2024 standard when it comes to CGI or even the pacing. The old show tend to be slower in pacing than what we are used to
Despite that, I love storyline and it's also pretty funny here and there
Overall, I had a great time. It's perfect for when you want something different than the usual modern storyline

Man on pole? Bring it on!
It was really good and it fell flat towards the end.I love all the couples here. I wish there are more screentime for the supporting couples.
I'm not a fan of the nightclub business per se but I do really enjoy the performance by the hosts. I also love how there's BL shipping in the club, that part is really so funny
There are decent number of NCs, some are pretty good- I can feel that they want to eat each other up
The ending is pretty cool, I didn't expect they'd really go ahead with polygamy. I love how this show is pushing boundary in this sense. It's also giving us a different perspective of the host business
Although, I've a mixed feeling about this. While I'm supportive about showcasing their talent, I'm not sure if it's "right" to promote "accompanying clients" as a profession. After all, the clients do get touchy, it's not like they are having heart-to-heart talk. This is the only piece of the show that I'm not sure how to feel. But, at same time, this is just depiction of real life, and it's up to the viewers to make our own discretion
Overall, I enjoy the show- it's pretty wild and fun.

The Miracles of the Namiya General Store

Indeed, it's a miracle store!
It is a little slow and can be quite heavy to watch at some part, but because of its storyline, it makes me want to watch it and i'm glad i finish it. It's worth it.It's surprisingly easy to follow. Sometimes, fantasy show, especially one that involves "time slip" tends to get confusing, but not this one. It really is well executed and I really love each letter and its reply.
My favorite scene is when Namiya get to receive the letter from future. That's really touching that he gets to know he has lived a full, rich and meaningful life.
It's amazing how everything is inter-connected and how it ends in full circle. That last letter really wraps it up! Gist, it's SO good!!!

A Wonderful and Whimsical show
I love it, especially the night market scene. It's very magical, full of fantasy and whimsicalI love the little creatures most. It's funnier than I thought. It's also sweet with touching moments
I'm so glad I found this, it's a rare gem indeed. It's also a nice break from the typical drama
I'd recommend this for when you want a relaxed watch where you're being transported into magical land
Also, I love the concept of human and spirit living together, it's pretty creative!

My jaw hurts from smiling!
It got me screaming, hitting pillow and smiling ear to ear. It really is one sweet romance that makes your heart flutter! It also has its funny moments, especially everytime Neo appears! Love seeing this different side of himInitially, I dropped this show as I found it quite slow, but I picked it up again after I watched JimmySea in Last Twilight. I'm glad I gave it another chance. It's worth it in the end.
It might starts off a bit slow, but once it picks up, it gets really good.
While there are lots of fluffy moments, this show isn't shallow at all. It brings with it life lessons around love, friendship, work and life in general. It got us thinking about things we might not consider on daily life. What if you get to live another life in other Universe? Would you want to live the other person's life or go back to your Universe? Why?
The only thing that bugged me is the product placement. It's common to have them and I understand why, but this show must have overdone it a little much. It felt annoying after a while when the script is written just for the sake of PPL. Like, how many times must the MLs stop to brush their teeth in 1 series?! Or, cook noodles, or eat that choc pie? or drink tea?
Like, there is easily 4 PPL in one episode. If we cut out those "forcefully written" script, I think we'll end up with 10 episodes, which then probably the show could have been more compact and exciting, lol
Besides that, I enjoyed everything else.
I really love JimmySea chemistry. It really warms my heart just watching them teasing, bickering, and falling head over heels in love for each other.
The ending is also very satisfactory for me, it's not rush at all.
I found it worth watching overall. Give it a try and you might just like it!

LDW did it again!
I really love the casting! I gotta start with LDW 1st since he's why I even click watch hereI've seen him in lots of action, but boy...I've never thought that LDW as a mercenary is sth I needed to watch in my life. LDW wearing that vest, shooting and fighting, and talking with his deep voice, he is hot af! I'm glad they let him has those glorious scenes, because for the rest of the show, they make him look like an uncle who never sleep or bath, LOL.
At 1st when I see it's a high school girl, the image of the FL in Goblin came over and I got worried. Thanks God she is totally not anything like that! FL here is smart and strong, and really just cool to watch.
I also love Minhye. She is super badass with her action scenes and I find her really sexy too. Pasin, Honda and Brothers are all amazing casts too! Even the wicked robot is pretty cool, until it's not...lol
As for the show, it has pretty unique style of storytelling where it jumps timelines, but it's not confusing at all. It's just a little draggy in the middle when they are telling the story....But, i just skipped those parts then lol...
I'd love S2 just to have closure because im so curious over so many things. But, even without it, I personally am okay with the ending. Sometimes, we don't need to know every detail, just the overall would do.
I really enjoyed the show, kept me on edge for most part. As usual, LDW totally nails it!!

They literally have got each other back!!!
What a lighthearted inspiring movie, as expected from Jap Movie!Wow, the last performance got me smiling ear to ear, without me realizing. I really love how they are REALLY having fun doing this. Their positive energy is contagious!
The highlight would be how they are breaking the prejudice around men joining cheer team, the same way women would be prejudiced for joining soccer team. It's a refreshing perspective watching how they display that this is a very "man-ly" sports after alll, with all the acrobatics and sportsmanship, just like any other sports would have
It's definitely fun watching them being thrown and flipped around in the air lol
I adore the teamwork, especially the amount of trust they have. It's literally, knowing we've got each other back in this case.
It's beautiful watching everyone joining the team for different reason but eventually everyone heals their wounds and step out of their comfort zone
Everyone wins! Really love it, another great work by Yokohama Ryusei! It;s also a bonus surprise seeing the ML from Senpai, Danjite Koidewa!!

I wanna hug those trees!
I laughed so hard at the scene towards the end during the festival. Epic!It has some breathtaking views, I wish I am climbing up those trees too!
Despite it being on forestry setting, it isn't boring at all.
It's hearwarming, funny, touching, all in its own way.
I love the respect they have for nature, I love seeing the greenery mountain, I love those big trees that I wanna hug them, I love the laughter when they sing and dance, I love how oneness is portrayed in this show
What a healing and fun-filling show!
Highly recommended, I enjoy every moment. Seriously, Jap Movie did it again! n

An unexpected kick-ass duo!
Initially here for Lee Jee Hoon, but ended up finding a gem in the K-world! I can't believe we don't find such good movie anymore. This is really meaningful, inspiring and touching all at same timeIt's been years since I watched this and here I am- still remembering the details, that's how much impact the movie has made
It really has an amazing plot twist towards the end, which left me crying and having respect towards the grandma who seemed to be irritating at the beginning of the show
It shows us that sometimes, when we dig a little more, there's more than meets the eye, if we are willing to be open to listen, and understand one another, like Jee Hoon's characteer did here
It really is a show that has potential to touch heart and uplift humanity

"NO excuses" policy
I love how this is inspired by true sports event. It's very touching to watch how the athletes are pursuing their dreams regardless of the harsh circumstancesWhat I love the most is how they show us what it means by "No excuses" policy. Instead of using lack of resources as excuse, they get really creative in how they train by utilising simple daily tools. It's fascinating to watch how they train, even though. I've no sports background or whatsnot
It's very inspiring and heartwarming, and I love how everything turned out in the end.
It's one of the best K-drama I've watched. I'm glad I watch this despite it being and old show, which I sometimes tend to skip

I can't wait for Veteran 2!
Rating 2015 movie in 2024 is probably not a fair evaluation since it's almost 10 years! What one finds fascinating back then is now boring. That's why I rate this based on how much I've enjoyed the show!The storyline is predictable, but boy...the fighting scenes, especially the one near the end is SO GOOD to watch!
Plus, it's really funny...not in an over-the-top manner, but like well done comedy
I really enjoy the show. It has great balance of humour, action, justice.
I hesitated to watch initially as I don't know who the ML is, but turned out he is a pretty cool cop here.
I can't wait for Veteran 2!

Watch this when you miss the casts!
Although I'm not a big fan of the series, I enjoy this special. It allows us to understand more on the perspective of director as well as the casts. It's also fun watching how the actors share their working experience with each otherI'd love such special to be included in other series too, it'd be really fun, in addition to the usual behind the scenes
Its definitely a good one to watch, when you're missing the casts, but not yet wanting to rewatch the entire series
I came here mainly because I miss, First Khao and Neo!

Watch it for FirstKhao
I don't really know how to rate this one. I initially dropped this show 2x bcause I find it hard to watch past the 1st few episodes, but I kept coming back coz I'm not giving up on FirstKhao lolI ended up skipping quite a fair bit, until around episode 5 or 6. When their relationship starts to take off, I find there's traction and this keep me going. It starts getting more interesting here on.
Now, as far as the plot/story goes, it's really not my favorite. I guess, I'm just bored with yet another school setting, no matter what twist/spin they put on it...That said, it doesn't mean it's bad, it's actually pretty good. Just not my preference. That aside, everything else is great
Casting is amazing. I'm so proud to see FirstKhao leading this series. Their acting is so good, especially nailing the crying scene, especially First. I think he shed more tears than I did this year in this one show LOL
Their chemistry is on point and they are so good together. Not cringe or awkward moments, as you'd find in some acting. They are the couple we wanna see more and more of.
I especially love how Khao is flirtying with First, whether in this series or OnlyFriends. There's just sth about the way he flirts that makes it so lovely to watch them. I also love their song!!! They sound so good together.

Quite refreshing to watch historic BL
It did well given how short it's, although it doesn't leave me feeling WOW.I love the idea of historic BL, more pls! also, love how pretty all the casts are and the music is a bomb! one of the best BL Ost ever!
Overall, it's quite a good watch. It's exciting enough to keep you watching, but anything longer than this would feel like a drag. I feel that the couple are quite reserved ,perhaps because it's Josean era setting. But that seems to take out some of the chemistry in a way
It's a relaxing watch for a lazy day, especially if u need a break from intense drama
Otherwise, it's also sth you can afford to miss, esp since there are lots of great BL drama, unless u run out of one to watch, like me..lol

If you like high school BL, you'll like this
It's quite a slowburn, I almost died, LOL.. I really love the last 2 episodes though, if only the 1st 6 are as lighthearted and funny too! It was quite slowpaced and monotone for 1st half of the show, but enough to keep you curious to watch.It keeps me at 50/50 but I chose to continue, but I love the ending, so I'm glad I watched it
I love Ashiya, he is so funny in last 2 episodes, esp when he tried to confess. Oh my, so funny the things that happened.
Overall, it's pretty decent for a high school BL. It's like, a typical high school romance, fluffy and sweet, nothing special, if you may. Still a good watch, when you're in need of sth light.
