Brillinant idea, beautifully written, with wonderful casting combinations!
I'd definitely watched these xD
After all, I'm the biggest fan of XingFly or ButterBack productions ❤❤❤

A subtle, whimsical indie art-house film, with some mild surrealistic and tragicomic touches and an eloquent aesthetic that is cleverly enhanced by its black-and-white cinematography.
A Chinese-Korean enigmatic girl, who runs a rundown bar while coping with a paralyzed father, forms a flirtatious quintet alongside her epileptic landlord, a bipolar North Korean defector, a small-time gangster and a lesbian tomboy, all affectionately yet melancholically portrayed.

Hats off to Park In Hwan, who captured our hearts and soared like an eagle with his breathtaking performance!
A wonderful family-friendship drama, elegantly portraying all aspects of this unique story. Time well-spent.

A simple, yet cute and heartwarming love story.
Bittersweet, equally sad and optimistic in a unique way only j-dramas can accomplish :)

Beautifully written article, presented in a unique way!
Keep up the good work, dear @Cho Na xD

A little bit of courtesy doesn't cost much of our typing time and doesn't hurt either :)

For those who are familiar with the melancholic, surrealistic world of Haruki Murakami and love Iggy Pop’s “I am a Passenger”, this indie movie is a rewarding watch.
An honest, sensitive look on a mother experiencing the loss of her child and her efforts to cope with it and let go, through the subtle and eloquent performance of Yoshida Yoh and an excellent cinematography that highlights the beauty of Hanalei Bay.

Interesting sci-fi, dystopian road-movie, with compelling cinematography and some intriguing social commentary parts.

A dialogue based story about fragmented encounters of people going through some kind of loss: of a partner, love, time, or memories.
Slow-paced, with a hazy, drifting melancholic tone, it felt more like reading a book than watching a movie...

I always enjoy your unique articles :)

Always xD

Great article from my fave duo! Well-structured, informative and very interesting :)
Always looking forward to your articles dear @Ebisuno92 and @Seonsaeng xD

An interesting, suspenseful modern c-drama, with a great bromance and friendships between the main and secondary characters (and a not so great romance with an annoying, clingy FL) and wonderful night city shots.
Apart from the two MLs, who did an excellent job portraying their characters and their bromance, the character of Xiao Si, even though a supporting role with a short screen time and almost no lines, was the most mysterious and intriguing one.
The open, dissatisfying ending and some pacing issues definitely can't be ignored, but overall it was an enjoyable watch.

A powerful, heartfelt, tender movie about a loving father (an unexpected subtle performance by Jet Li) who takes care of his autistic son without any complaint and tries hard training him to manage on his own.
A social commentary about the wrenching reality parents with mentally impaired children face every day, their endless race against time and people's prejudice and a tribute to their love, devotion and unbreakable bonding with their challenged kids.

A pleasant surprise of a sequel, from the most zany zombie film-making crew!
With all the familiar cast members and their fantastic teamwork and backstage failures comedy, it is as refreshing, absurd and equally genuine as the parent story.

A strange movie about an even stranger ancient ritual
and the story of a disgraced, socially expelled father who tries to reconciliate with his family and hometown community and is forced to mature and move on.

A simple -but elegantly presented- story about an unusual friendship between two totally opposite but equally lonely people, who find comfort and a purpose in their lives through their strong bonding.
Not overly talkative, not overly 'forced' dramatic, but with some strong, very emotional scenes and some wonderfully depicted character development.

Though a bit slow-paced, it had interesting mystery elements, plot twists and great acting, especially from the leads.

Dark, raw, intense and emotionally heavy story about a student's suicide, focusing mainly on the aftermath for the people around her.
A story full of grey characters, selfishness, bullying, grief, guilt and whys - definitely not for the faint hearted. And, in spite of some plot and character portrayal cons, a compelling watch.
Jeon Yeo Bin with her stellar performance -proving her versatility as a talented actress- was undeniably the star of this movie.

A cute short about second chances in love.
