Ok hear me out because I really need to say this, I've always thought that 90% of the Chinese dramas could be much better if the number of episodes they have is reduced. So when I found a Chinese drama with only 8 ep and a nice story I jumped in blindly, but with was that? It's not an easy ride, this is really complicated and twisted drama, the story is not as easy as the plot description shows, you get thrown into this absurd ride with the main leads. I liked it, it was a bit too much complicated then simplified at the end but it wasn't that bad. Just one note, the ML doesn't have social anxiety, he is just a lonely person who is not used to have humans around him so the description is a bit overdramatic.
Ok so this one is like 2 different movies together, the first part is cute anime-like romance with it's odd first encounter and ideal playboy fall in love with plain girl, and it'd be much more likable if we didn't take things seriously because in term of acting and plot it's so cringe to be real. The second part is where the problem lies, it suddenly became a rom drama with a very a**hole ML and a very timid with low self-esteem FL which is really annoying to watch even when I try to think of it as not real, it's just too much. What I really hated about the story is how they make sex for 16YO sounds like a normal thing, this is a critical age it's not good to show things like sex and playboy characters sounds acceptable, I'd prefer if they were at least 18 maybe before they make sex became more normal for them. I know 16 is considered adult in many countries but I still believe it's not old enough. That been said, I don't recommend it there are much better manga/anime adaptations there.
Ok so this one was weird, Most of the Japanese movies tend to be soooo sloooooow and caaaaalm and they probably has so little conversations which mostly have hidden meanings about the movie. This one is no exception I believe the only thing that would make you go through it is curiosity or good acting, beside that absolutely nothing. I don't understand the letter part but beside that everything was crystal clear even the projections and symbols.
I LOVE this movie, really it's been a while since I've seen an adaptation that I really liked without affecting my love for the other ones. It has flaws though tbh but I'll just be positive as how I feel now after finishing it and I'll state what I loved about it, First the story is different, it's the same plot but it gives a very different vibes, so it's kinda refreshing. They also changed some of the details which helped. Sec. The supporting cast are peripheral a little compared to other versions and the main focus was on the mail leads and it's good since it's a movie and there is no time to get everything in it. So it respected the original material despite the changes. I also like how The FL got a hold of herself she isn't just dumb and blindly in love she has will and power to stay away and love him from far away, and the ML wasn't just a robotic genius, they showed us that he loves her but he is torn between what he want and what he is supposed to do. It is great to see a robot in love for once. I loved this Naoki a lot xD
This is a good remake compared to other ones, it only missed all the funny parts, it lack any kind of fun found in the Korean version, this is pure romance drama, not that I'm complaining but I'd appreciate it more if it had some comedy because Higuchi's character was a bit shallow here, I couldn't even like him that much, he was 99% comedic in the original but here he is just another extra with a little bigger part, the ending also was fast forwarded a lot, they just wanted to get to the end of it with respect to every event happening in the original, on the other hand, ep9 was too boring, with unnecessary scenes, they should have cut some of those scenes in ep9 and stretched the events in ep10 into ep9/10 It was nice though i loved it as it is if I don't compare it to the original ver it'd be a very good drama but I just love jungeum too much to let it go lol
Don't bother reading the synopsis because it's just a NORMAL ROM-COM drama with a fairytale concept nothing more or less, the fetich part is almost nonexistent the guy is pretty normal lol famous idol fall in love with a high schooler. The Movie is like any other live action, rushed with some plot holes since they didn't show everything in the manga but it's not bad the acting and the story are fine.
I like this drama because it felt real, all the characters here represent how humans are greedy and self-centred, each in a different way, also it shows how dreams can control our perspective on life. That been said, I hate every character in it lol Seriously, every single one of them has managed to annoy and anger me I even got frustrated at the main lead, both of them deserved a hit on the head at one point, I won't spoil anything because if I singled out what I hate about them it'll take days, but still the drama was enjoyable, I barely skipped a scene and I liked how it ended, I even was satisfied without the last scene because that what I feel both main lead deserve. The drama is good if you want a real adult romance drama with serious concerns about life.
If I didn't know the story behind this movie and that it was about 2 tragedies that happened in Korea I'd probably don't understand anything. The disasters were the main core of the movie so you can't really rate it as a movie by itself it's just a short idea or a reminder of what happened from the director point of view and how the souls who were lost are always remembered. Ji sung was great as always and I really loved him here.
It's not by any mean funny, I understand the effort to provide a funny environment in the movie, but i didn't even smile watching this, it's just a nice romantic movie. I didn't expect more from it tbh
it's not at all like Kiralik Ask, only the first part where he grabbed her and again it wasn't like in Kiralik…
That's what I meant when I said without the Kiralık part 😂because it lack the whole "renting the girl" thing. Well, I haven't seen it yet, so I'm judging from the synopsis here. But I'm excited to see how it'll go.
This is a very slow and calm drama, after the 2nd ep it just began to go one way without any excitement or any strong events. It was just the daily life of the characters, they actually tried to put some twists or problems here and there but it felt like "meh". That's not bad but most people may find it boring, I actually skipped a lot of scenes but I didn't drop the drama. Recommended if you are cool with slow paced dramas with nothing much happening.
Is this based on anything, a manga or a book? Because this sounds a lot like a turkish drama called Kiralık Aşk. Well, except for the "Kiralık" part lol xD Anyway, same story or not I'll give it a try 👍
Oh My God! There are a looooot to say about this drama, so for anyone planning to watch it, or like it, we are going to disagree so don't bother reading, thanks. so first I had very high expectations because this is a fav. Drama for many of my friends and many suggested it's for me, I absolutely saw no bad reviews about it and I think I should have looked into it more plus the pairing of Mirei and Kento and I'm a HUGE fan of Miura Shohei so I had absolutely nothing to lose here, nice story good cast, what more to ask, see my point!? What can go wrong!? What for the potato fries sake happened here!? Why is Mirei sooo overacting, I mean I can handle a bit of jumpy characterless FL but why is she like that? She has no personality at all, she ask for her friend's help in every.single.thing!! She can not even decide if she WANT to wear a freaking Yukata or not for tomato sake!! I really hated her. And Kento said about 4-5 lines the whole drama and just stood there with straight face, I didn't know if he was angry? Sad? Are you constipated? Headache maybe!? What's wrong with you? Big family secret got exposed, nothing!! Just nothing maybe a small fraction of an intended reaction. What is your character exactly? I couldn't figure his personality till the end. And why is everything is forced for the main lead to be together, like it's really forced. He has an ex, low self esteem Ex is bad he got away, can't say 3 words to him Oh no! she is good, just go back to her and I'll just cry here. Kento appear out of no where, wow he is the one, all right I love you. not to mention that he fell for her after like 3 mins of a really bad interactions. Why did she insist so much at the end and couldn't even ask the old brother for a freaking one date? This could be muuuuchhhhhh better!!!!!! You wasted good actors for lame plot.
This really felt like a story of a Korean drama, but with a calmer and slower environment, it has the same vibes and plot flow, started off as a rom-com male chasing femalr then a problem happens they break up then back again together at the end, except it was so Japanese in term of acting and character development, they only focused on the main character and the episodes were too short to explore more, his whole relationship with his brother, his family and marriage arrangement thing was a bit odd, so it's a two main lead story and nothing more which is not bad, it's cute and lovely drama and I love the FL personality for someone who is very naïve in love but she has a strong character in term of working and taking serious decisions, the ML should be a little younger his behaviour would be more acceptable if he is still in his early 20s or something but he sounded a little like a spoilt rich kid yet he is nice and adorable at times so I couldn't hate him. Another thing I could not swallow was the kissing scenes the chemistry was good but the kissing and touching scenes was kinda awkward maybe because of the age difference between the two leads and maybe it's just me. Anyway, it's a light cute drama I might rewatch it, and I recommend it just don't except too much.
This is a typical "WTF did I just watch?" Drama. It literally make no sense at all, I have no idea what was going on, it started and ended and I still understand nothing. There is basically no plot. I don't know if I'd recommend it. I just don't know anything at all after watching this drama.
Dodosolsollalasol ending felt like there was a disagreement about making it sad or happy one so they decided to make it both, *Throw realistic thinking from the window*. You just made everyone watched this drama regret giving it a try, and all the actors work were in vain, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

He has an ex, low self esteem
Ex is bad he got away, can't say 3 words to him
Oh no! she is good, just go back to her and I'll just cry here.
