Perhaps if I'd watched it years ago, I'd probably have enjoyed it more. It seemed dated, with over-the-top acrobatic fight scenes and predictable plot, but it had some strong moments and some good acting, especially from Lee Seo Jin.
An intense, edgy law drama with well-built, realistic and thought provoking cases of juvenile offenders. Exceptional production and performances, not only from the main cast but also from most of the supporting cast members. The somewhat preachy and contradictory social criticism of the last episodes made the plot a bit uneven and over-dramatic, but overall it was a great watching experience.
A slow-paced but heartwarming coming-of-age story, with a unique blending of traditional and modern japanese culture, a charming protagonist and wonderful shamisen sounds!
Though nothing very memorable, an entertaining, light-hearted and uplifting story in an amusement park, focused on teamwork and character growth. The best part was Nishijima Hidetoshi's bright smile :)
With a masterfully blended mixture of folklore tradition, Pansori storytelling, Madanggeuk theatrical techniques, sageuk martial arts, romance and black comedy, this multi-genre short film was a surrealistic, whimsical colourful feast for the eyes and ears! Highly recommended
A strange but enjoyable movie about the world and rivalry of novelists. Hirate Yurina was great in an intriguing and very controversial character that was the heart of the story.
An unusual, mature and dark drama about marriage, mis-communication (or lack of) and infidelity, using a goldfish and its bowl as a metaphor in all of its subplots. With lots of steamy scenes, especially at the beginning and lots of melodrama during the last episodes, this uneven -in tone, purpose and reasoning- collection of ‘Fishbowl Wives’ stories is saved by some solid performances and camera work. Definitely not for everyone...

Good for a one-time-only watch, mainly for the cast.
Eerie, quirky, intense.
Always glad to be of help!

Pleasantly surprised :)
Yonekura Ryoko and Ayano Go were exceptional.
