There is a big hype about this movie, and for a good reason. Unlike those popular films that those days create a buzz because of the action plot and the big names, Parasite is more about the social message that it wants to pass through than a likable story that will appear to the masses.

So, overall, Parasite is good. If you like movies about real people, that are not afraid to show the raw reality and social injustice, than watch this one. It is a roller coaster of emotions, with lighter, more comical moments and more thrilling, suspenceful moments. And the film combines them masterfully and everything works well together. The performances were top notch as well. The story, finally, was well paced and interesting.

One Page love is a mini series with an almost cute story.

The main character is still stuck to her past, as she can't get over her ex boyfriend, who has just disappeared. Meanwhile, her best friend is in love with her and wants to make her happy. While trying to reunite with her ex, she meets another guy, a popular photographer, who, surprise surprise, falls for her as well. So, the story pretty much is one of the many others out there, with a cute and innocent girl attracking every guy in the cast. However, the ex boyfriend story was kind of interesting and unique, and kept the drama interesting till the very end. Plus, the ending was happy, at least for some of the characters.

The performances, in addition, were very good from everyone. And the main couple had chemistry. So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

If you enjoy shoujo school romance drama, then you'll like Konna Mirai wa Kiitenai. At first, there are some elements that may put you off, like the poster (1) and the main story (2). Okay, the idea behind the whole drama was odd, but the drama focuses on the girl, who is in love with her best friend, but she is confessed by another boy.

Overall, the love triangle was cute. And the love story was interesting to watch. However, the ending, with the whole time traveling theme was confusing. However, the pace of the drama was nice, the story fresh and entertaining, and the performances enjoyable.

So, seven out of ten.

One thing that I appreciated about this drama was the ending. Put your head on my shoulder didn't follow the patern of the other chinese drama that start so good and they just have an open and unsatisfying ending. No, this one gives you closure. And, overall, it was cute and sweet. The story, even though it's not anything original and it was full of cliche, was nevertheless interesting, at least most of it. However, the side stories were just there to fill the gaps, as the side couples had no chemistry. But, as the main couple were over the top good together, I guess that doesn't really matter. Another good points about this drama : good performances, funny moments, adorable leads.
So, seven out of ten.

The movie is a bizzare one. The concept was not easy to spot right from the begining. I guess it would have been better if I've watched the drama first, as this one combined everything in such a small length. So, at times, the story got confusing and not easy to keep up with.

That said, the plot was kind of interesting. The main character, Ito, and his "teacher", the woman who was trying to hold on to her past, were two different people and still, almost similar. In the end, it was pointed out that it was a battle between the two of them, at least from the guy's point of view.

In addition, the performances were really good from everyone in the cast.

So, five out of ten.

Familyhood is an entertaining movie that moves the audiance towards the ending. However, the begining was a bit weak. We are presented with an arrogant actress who sees her career coming to an end, her relationship shuttered and her chances of having a family lost. The most, actually, interesting part was the student's story. The movie starts to offer some solid entertainment after the two women start living together and they form a family. However, it goes back to a weak downhill when the leading lady ignores the girl and focuses on her career. That's when the best performances are introduced and the movie hits a darker point. The ending, though, was satisfying. And the character development really good. So, seven out of ten.

For an anime, Jigoku Sensei Nube, this one would have been really good. For a live action, however, things didn't go as great as they should. The story was kind of odd, but cool at the same time. One thing that I really loved was the characters, actually, and, especially, the teachers. However, that demonic hand was not well presented. The action scenes were not good as well and the monsters, although kind of scary, there weren't that interesting. The romance, at least, and the friendship dynamics, as well as the teacher-students relationship, were all good. So, 5 out of 10.

After I've watched Boys over flowers and completely hated it, I was thinking of not even picking up Princess' Hours. Especially since it was twenty four episodes long! But, this drama proved me wrong. It is one of the few times that I couldn't stop watching a drama. The story is catchy and the couple has extremely chemistry, which aids the drama tremendously. Now, there were some trops of that period that the drama followed, like the annoying parents (who were better than others though), the mean mother in law, the love triangle with the second lead being an angel and so making it difficult to not root for him. Plus, some twists were idiotic. But the execution was good and the pace really well managed. So, eight out of ten.
