Can a drama with a protagonist having all the flaws of an antagonist (cold, highly ambitious, arrogant, selfish, manipulative, self-righteous, petty and awfully scheming) be addicting and entertaining? Yes, if Shin Ha Kyun is the main lead!
One of the most disappointing remakes... Woori's badly written (and acted) character was not in the slightest close to the quirky, creative and adorable 'original' character of Jane - a real waste of time :/
A heartwarming coming of age movie, full of nostalgia and childhood summer vibes. A bittersweet story delivered by some talented child actors' delightful performances.
An enjoyable action/comedy manga adaptation, despite its flaws. Its main advantages are the great cast and their memorable personas, as well as the impressively choreographed action scenes. Though the movie's multi-genre mixture (slapstick humor, parody, action, thriller, drama, romance) makes the story rather inconsistent and imbalanced sometimes, the fact that it definitely doesn't take itself seriously is what makes it unique and entertaining.
Dark and intense, painfully raw, infuriatingly violent, emotionally thought-provoking. Definitely not for everyone, especially for the faint of heart...
One of the most affectionate, down-to-earth, wholesome slice-of-life dramas! Exceptionally detailed in every aspect: not even one character is unnecessary, not even one line or moment of silence is in excess, not even a scene is a filler... A real gem and a well-deserved 10/10 in my book.
Short but comprehensive historical story of family bonding, samurai honor and justice, with a great blend of comic and dramatic elements, and a fantastic performance from 17yo Kiyohara Kaya! (too bad though, that edo-period hairstyle didn't do Machida Keita any justice at all ^^)
A beautiful love story with some wonderful friendship and bonding between all characters, and one of the most adorably clumsy and cute couple. Delightful rom-com without any over-the-top cliches or annoying side characters and fillers, a catchy song, and a head-strong female lead that you can't help but root for :)
Yes, if Shin Ha Kyun is the main lead!
