"Unexpected things happen in life. The way you approach those situations is what makes you who you are."
Bold, daring and thought-provoking, this is a social commentary on parenthood, pregnancy difficulties and gender stereotyping. Surprisingly open-minded and heartwarming!
Promising cast, interesting premise, subpar outcome. Unfortunately, Kim Min Gue's cuteness and Park Sang Nam's charms couldn't save this lukewarm story with its disappointingly underwhelming villains, the cringy over-the-top scenes and the illogical plot holes. Watchable, but only as a filler...
Like its prequel, this was a feel-good, soothing watch, with interesting buildings and detailed information about their history, architecture and design, as well as some well-fitted dishes. Refreshing concept, thoughtful delivery.
No words can describe the wackiness, hilariousness and complete madness of this unique drama. Odagiri Joe as the screenwriter, director and protagonist, and his stellar cast, definitely had the time of their lives while filming this!
Brilliantly written, filmed and acted, this little gem is a compelling, thought-provoking sci-fi comedy with elements of thriller, time-travelling and romance, and large doses of heart, inspiration and teamwork. High-level entertainment on a low-budget project!
An informative insight at the blooming animation industry and its highly competitive world, as well as the teamwork passion and struggles. Though it sometimes feels disjointed, it still is a pleasant watch, especially for anime lovers.
A unique, whimsical story of a quirky uni student, his encounters and how their lives were changed having known him. Full of reminiscence, nostalgia and youthful innocence, it may be slow-paced and long but feel-good and rewarding. Kora Kengo, with his charming goofiness and awkward romance, carried the whole movie and was a delight to watch.
An ensemble of 7 interwoven stories happening in the span of an April Fools day. Although weird, wacky and sometimes questionable, it was surprisingly entertaining and heartwarming.
Wicked, gory and paranoid survival game, years before the "Squid Game" became a trend! With the usual Miike Takashi visuals and aesthetics: fast-paced, suspenseful, full of violence and twists, wacky but minimal plot and (perhaps intentionally, but who really knows what Miike's intentions are) cartoonish special effects. Definitely not for everyone, but a must-watch for Miike and violent manga fans.
A wholesome, deeply moving and affectionate story! Brilliantly written and directed, with witty and realistically natural dialogues, superb performances and amazing chemistry among the cast: it felt as if they weren't acting but actually being childhood friends. Loved, loved the nostalgic vibes that made me miss my own school and uni years, my friends and our gatherings, the time we spent saving the whole world with our talks, our laughter and tears... Can't recommend it enough!
Adultery-centered makjang at its maximum! Flawed, grey and infuriating people in the most entangled predicaments. Toxic but addicting, with a great cast and fantastic chemistry. Not for innocent souls expecting rainbows and balloons...
A classy, artistic spy action film full of mind games, suspicions, interrogations and confrontations. Intense whodunit premise, great cast and performances. With superb artistic cinematography, atmospheric music and gorgeous 30s wardrobes and settings, even if there was something missing in the story it was very engaging mainly thanks to the badass girl power: Lee Ha Nee, Park So Dam and Esom were fantastic in their roles!
Enjoyable but not as funny as its prequel, probably because it felt repetitive and without any element of surprise in it. Nevertheless, Ra Mi Ran with her shenanigans was still a real pleasure to watch!
Not as thrilling as its prequel, mainly due to the lukewarm romance, but still a classy revenge/makjang story with a satisfying closure, top notch production and acting. Song Hye Kyo's fit the cold, emotionally detached anti-heroine character the best, but the drama's absolute highlight was Jung Sung Il, even though his screen time in this part was the minimum.
A delicate approach of some very sensitive, provocative and triggering subjects. With amazing performances, nuanced storytelling, elegantly poetic cinematography and music, this hauntingly beautiful, disturbingly compelling and piercingly thought-provoking film is definitely not for everyone or easy to recommend, but a fascinating watching experience nonetheless.
Good intentions, bland outcome. In spite of Kiryuu Mai's genuine performance, the fragmented narration through non-linear rapid shifts to different timelines, as well as the abrupt editing between the scenes, made this messy story difficult to follow.
Disappointingly underwhelming... No matter how stellar the cast is or how high the production value is, when the story and the pacing are subpar, the outcome can only be mediocre. Perhaps because the plot (and the characters) got more serious than needed, or because the main trio's interactions and bantering were minimum, the story lost its spark and excitement. Will there be a season three? I don't know and, frankly, I don't think I care...
