A story about a single parent that struggles to cope with continuously worsening family situations, while looking for his bride-to-be and caring for a baby that is not his biological son. Interesting concept, but a rather lukewarm approach. Definitely a one-man show for talented Lee Yi Kyung.

Through the heartbreaking story of a man who looks after his deceased boyfriend’s elderly mother and young son, this delicate film explores the social prejudice, judgment and misunderstandings towards homosexuality, as well as the limits of love, acceptance, trust, regret and forgiveness in such a complex family.
A superb nuanced and subdued performance from Mo Tzu-Yi.

“If I were a woman, and my husband died but I stayed with his family to care for them, would you be asking the same questions?”

A bittersweet road movie about an aging, estranged from his family, photographer who takes a last trip trying to wrap up the few remaining loose ends of his life.

A sad story about lonely people who longingly wait for their loved ones to return.

Knowing that it was inspired from a true story makes it more impactful...

A very gripping, grim and compelling sci-fi thriller, full of twists, with a great dystopian setting and an electrifying, powerful performance from Chang Chen.

A wonderful heartwarming story about the special mother-daughter bonding,
with masterfully balanced funny and touching moments,
without being overly imposing and dramatic
and exceptional performances from Hashimoto Ai and Miyazaki Aoi.

A delicate, empathetic, deeply moving road movie, that explores the child-abduction problem in China.
Wonderful camera work that generously gifts us with the beauty of rural China, great natural, subtle performances from Andy Lau and Jing Bo Ran.

As many said, only the cinematography was worth it.
Confusing plot, lukewarm characters and acting...

A quirky black comedy, based on a mischievous and quite naive family and its misfortunes.

Started this for GACKT, took me a while to warm up to its story, but overall it was an interesting and entertaining watch.

Thanks!
Unfortunately they must have removed it...

Nothing spectacular, but I loved the setting, the atmosphere and the feel-good of it :)

A social commentary about generation gap and miscommunication, ageing society, urbanization versus rural life, tradition versus modernity.
Wonderful camera work, that captures beautifully the landscapes and the everyday life of their lucky inhabitants, as well as the intriguing world of Kagura dance tradition.

Lee Jun Ho and Tanimura Mitsuki was an interesting pairing in this simple but decent story.

Soothing and somehow comforting, with its picturesque, fairylike forest scenery, this mini drama is a perfect break from all the angsty drama-world and real life's dramas :)

Excellent bromance! Team chemistry, bonding, bantering were top-notch.
Ayano Go is a real chameleon - he can own any role!

I hope you'll enjoy it!

I've watched it years ago (rented a dvd) and watched it again raw.
Of course, didn't understand a word, but I remembered most of the plot, so it was easy to follow. Sorry for not being of help...
