Well, one thing that this movie surely had was too much blood. I mean, the Titans could not eat the humans as a whole, but had to always cut them in half...Anyway, part from that, the movie was okay. I mean, I have seen worse. But, still, I expected this one too be super good, as everyone is so hyped over this series. So, the performances were good, but I would have liked to have a better explenation over the whole titan thing. Plus, the special effects were really not good. Not horible, but kind of fake. The horror part I guess was supposed to be created by the creapy laughs and the wierd titan mouths, as well as the blood bath. Overall, 4 out of 10, as it was kind of enjoyable, but not as good as it should have been.

An all star cast and a good story, dealing with some school issues, are presented fairly good in this drama. The all star cast did a good job with the performances, keeping a mood light here and there. The love story was probably the highlight of the drama, with a nice love triangle that, unfortunately, started to develop way too late for it to have a better impact. The choreography was not that good, which costed this drama some important points, as it should have been more dance focused and less bad politics. Finally, the issues that this drama dealt with were presented nicely and with the necessary sensitivity. So, 6 out of 10.

Interesting drama, about water sports, friendship and the unfair ranks of "society". The story is interesting and entertaining, as it gets you hooked as a proper sport themed movie should do. The sport events were interesting as well, and the rivalry between the two teams and the two players was amusing. The romance was not that good, however. It felt as it was out of nowhere and, not to mention, the love triangle was seriously weak. I wish that either the romance was better or that there weren't any, or that the original potential couple was formed. In any case, fortunately, the romance failure didn't effect the drama too much. Also, the performances were very good, which helped the drama a lot. So, 7 out of 10.

One can only expect that much from a movie like this one. Though the performances were really good and the story was easily followed and interesting, the execution of the movie failed completely. There were parts that were simply idiotic, with the characters being transferred into the world of a manga, well, almost. That aside, the main character seemed to be drowned into the movie, that didn't really help her set as a main lead and actually had her as a side role compared to the team and even her friend. The story, itself, was entertaining, and you can't help but root for the team. But, the way the team reached the finals, the way they prepared, even the way the characters were connected to one another, were a mess. So, I will be generous enough to give this movie 5 out of 10, only because of the performances and the good story.

Q10 is a robot girl-student boy drama, with nice side stories and interesting adventures of the robot girl. The messages that cross through are deep, though the drama tries to keep a light mood throughout the drama. Also, the mystery of the girl's origins is entertaining to follow, though, I confess, in the end I didn't get it. In addition, the love story was a bit odd, as the girl couldn't actually express feelings and the boy just happened to realise that he was in love with her. Another thing that bothered me was the girl's voice that was kind of annoying. I would have overlooked it, if it was her own voice, but when she talked as a girl, her voice was normal. Other than that, her performance was really good, pretending to be a robot that learns the way societies work and how to behave. The boy's performance was okay as well. So, 5 out of 10.

Why watch this film? For the actors, I guess. Or, if you are not in a mood for something too heavy. Though this one does get a little boring. Another problem was that the film focuses on representing the webtoon dynamics, trying to present that manga feeling as good as possible, which, unfortunately, results to make the film look cheep and kind of a TV movie. The story is not that bad, as the characters are interesting, but everything that happens is comical, odd and idiotic. Even the performances couldn't save the movie, as the events are simply too ridiculous to make sense.

This movie was seriously good. Funny and sad at the same time, is a roller coaster of emotions with the enough dose of action in it. So, the story is about an undercover agent who lives as the fool of his neighbourhood in order not to get discovered. The performances were really good from every actor, and especially touching, as they portrayed brotherhood, friendship, loyalty but family dynamics as well. The first part of the movie is more comical, with the funny scenes replacing the action ones with ease. The second part is packed with action and drama, with the final tragic ending that concludes the movie, leaving the audience with a human, bittersweet message. I loved the fact that the ending wasn't predictable, or smoothed down so the final scene will have a happy ending. So, 8 out of 10.

I love a good shojou manga (and Kento Yamazaki apparently...) and this movie had it all! A good romance, a nice story and some funny parts. Sure there was the all too well known firework festival meet cute, but still, it was a nice film. The story is about a girl who is forced to share her room with the rude boy that had rejected her best friend. And, of course, she gradually discovers that he is not as bad as he seems. Okay, the reason why he was being a bad boy was idiotic. But I guess it couldn't be helped, as it is based on a manga. But there was another thing that bothered me: the leading lady's laugh and cry was all too fake. She did an excellent job with everything else, so why those two troubled her? Good performances from the rest of the cast saved the day, and the fact that there was some chemistry between the actors. So, 6 out of 10.

Watching this movie was painful. It supposed to be funny, but it felt more like it was forced to. The whole thing seemed fake, not to mention the cinematography that was poor. Probably they tried to make this one look like a real manga, with all the overreaction and the seriously loud and idiotic music used in many scenes. Plus the story had no originality, as all the clichés that could have happened, happened. Now, for the performances, they weren't good. Some of the actors were like performing for a school play rather than a film. Finally, the chemistry between the two actors was, well, nonexistent (you can figure that out easily from the kissing scene). So, because it felt more like a badly made TV movie, 2 out of 10.

I've watched some seriously bad japansese romantic comedies in the past, but this one is for sure not one of them. Even my sister, who hates these kind of films, said that it was okay, so I'll roll with it. The movie has many layers. And, although, the romance wasn't that good, the whole friendship and past love tragedy was very interesting and presented nicely. The performances were really good, especially from the korean leading lady, whose performance was very emotional. Being a fan of Kento, of course I would have watched this movie just for him, but this is not one of the typical manga like cheesy movies. Sure, some parts were a little corny, but the whole Korean Japanese cultural difference and the constant mentions to movie scenes were entertaining. So, 7 out of 10.

Interesting movie about an even more interesting and entertaining theme. Though, I couldn't help it but await for the guy's condition to eventually (miraculously) change. But, as the hero says (short of), love can change things but can make things difficult as well. The girl was amazing in her performance, as she displayed perfect chemistry with each actor that played her partner. Plus, some of the actors were really good (exapmle, the girl who performed the scene where the mother confesses her secret to her son). Still, however, it felt like it needed something more, maybe some twist or something more powerful. But all in all, a nice love story, so 7 out of 10.
