For a 17 years old production, with all possible clichés (and I literally mean all the cliches one can think of xD) and the proper makjang, melo and fluff doses, this classic kdrama was still entertaining to watch, mainly due to its two wonderful MLs, Lee Dong Gun and especially Park Shin Yang :)
"April Story" is a heartwarming coming of age, spring love story in 67 minutes full of nostalgia, innocence, cuteness and optimism. With a wonderful Takako Matsu depicting a shy, introvert, adorkable girl who moves to the city to attend Uni in the beginning of her first steps into adulthood, with wonderful directing and cinematography, this little gem was a breath of fresh air under a sakura blossom tree :)
Quiet, subdued and intimately emotional coming-of-age story centered around Hana, a girl who just became a young adult living in a foster home, full of emotional scars, a haunting past and an uncertain future. Delicate cinematography and a great performance from the young and talented Ogawa Miyu.
Refreshingly unique romcom that tackles in a very quirky way what it means to be normal. But, what is "normal" anyway?
'Behaving like a normal person in society makes it hard to breath. There are so many rules, the meaning of which I don't understand.'
'Is this "normal" you speak of just an excuse for giving up? Don't just say "This is normal". Decide for yourself! Normal can piss off. You have absolutely no reason to be tied to that.'
A heart-warming slice of life drama that leaves you in a feel-good mood, just like the feeling after returning to your hometown and your childhood memories. Not flawless, but the atmosphere, the music and some of the stories were worth watching.
A story of loss, grief, reconciliation and acceptance based on the extremely heavy subject of suicide and the unique, unpredictable ways those who are left behind choose to cope with it.
Started watching this for Shin Dong Wook and he didn't disappoint! So young and cute ^^ Though a 15 yo drama, it was entertaining, with not many annoying characters or cliches, with a great OST and a greater ML :)
With this intriguing article, this story and cast, I am definitely tempted to watch any possible j-adaptation! [but I would try anything you recommend, either way!!!]
Heartwarming and emotional, with so many different stories and cute little babies! Ayano Go, Hoshino Gen, Yoshida Yo were wonderful in their roles, and their interactions a pleasure to watch.
A great cast with top-notch acting, beautiful team-work, thought-provoking situations and dialogues, realistic approach. One of the most refreshing, entertaining and satisfactory legal j-dramas I've watched in a long while!
A quirky, out-of-the-box rom-com, with many funny, awkward, touching moments and wonderful acting from Matsuzaka Tori and especially Iuta Aruta with his double, demanding role.
The epic story of Hu family during the turbulent times of the 2nd Sino-Japanese war between 1939-1945. A story of war, family love, romance, bromance, with some lovable, loyal, dependable and some weak, annoying characters, just like every family has. Their journey through hope, endurance, devastation, separation and loss was a great memorable watch, with many well-balanced funny, touching and heartbreaking moments. Ren Cheng Wei and Wallace Huo and their entrancing roles were the definite stars of this drama.

Wicked and creepy, so intense that it was very engaging, but definitely not for everyone.
Good job, you two ♡
