Soratobu Kouhoushitsu

So she is on a search for his amputated leg?
Interesting...

I've never fallen asleep while watching a movie in the theatre, and then this movie happened.
Kai Ko generally picks quality scripts.. not sure what happened with this one. Or maybe I was too dumb to understand it. Didn't like the FL's performance either.
Tried picking it up again over the weekend and I had to drop it once again.

A delightful coming-of-age movie featuring some of the most iconic Thai songs, with two friends who fall for the same girl. A classic for the ages, full of friendship, angst, comedy, and heart.
Time well spent :)

Dean and Kishii Yukino OMG
FANSUBBERS, WHERE ART THOU?

Anything with a Yankee, you bet I'll watch.
Plus this has the comedy tag!
PERFECT COMBINATION.

That's what I love about Japan XD

He's done 9 dramas this year DAMNNNN

How many dramas has Takezai Terunosuke done this year?
I swear I've seen his name appear in at least 4 or 5.

I'm sorry
..........................

for your food
HAHHHHHHHHHA

I enjoy a good toxic story HAHA

My biggest gripe was the brother/sister convo where he mentioned how the mum loved the FL and cared for her.
UH SORRY BUT NO.
Though it's likely that the FL forgave her mum and would empathize with her, but I'm glad they left out that mother-daughter conversation in the movie.

And one more.. I wish we got more of the ML and his story as well..

This is the kind of romance movies I'm an absolute sucker for; where two lonely and broken souls form a connection, triumphing over the toxic environments they come from, that becomes a warm, healing and safe space they create with and for each other full of love and companionship. How I wish this was a mini-series because I would have loved to see more of Sun Qian and Zhan Xin Cheng together...

P.S That synopsis does not do justice to this movie.

I just realized he's young Shota from one of my favourite movies 'Snow Prince' and he's grown up!
Edit: OMG he was in Nanba MG5!
LOVE HIM!

The drama that started my love for puddings..
GOOD OLD DAYS.

I adore French cinema, but I stand by my opinion of J-cinema being the most diverse I have seen.
I have hardly seen them make very silly films. Comedy, yes. But not silly films for young girls or teens (equivalent to shoujo manga adaptations). Also, I haven't seen them make films on expeditions or important historical figures, like Asa Ga Kita (first woman who opened a bank in Japan) or Nankyoku Tariku (first Japanese expedition to Antarctica) or very out-of-the-box storytelling where the script reverses something creepy into something that leaves you wandering about the criminal's perspective like Wandering etc.
Please correct me if I am wrong. Would love to have some recommendations if there are.

I'm not sure what genres you are into so I've tried to list some must-watch dramas from a variety of genres -

MARS (Romance, Psychological)
In A Good Way (Coming-of-age, college, friendship, romance)
Skip Beat (coming-of-age, comedy, entertainment industry, slight romance)
Someday or One Day (time travel, romance)
Momo Love (siblings relationship, family, first love)
The Rose (family, psychological, slight romance)
Fated to Love You (comedy, romance)
Ghost Bride (horror, supernatural)
Black and White (investigation)
The World Between Us (mass shooting, social commentary, psychological)
Bump Off Lover (suspense, thriller, psychological)
Rainless Love in a Godless Land (msytery, fantasy, romance; a little similar to Goblin)
