Beautiful cinematography and music, wonderful clothes and decor, warm and cosy feeling, Lee Soo Hyuk a real pleasure to the eyes, but too short and rushed story. If it was a 12 eps drama, it would've been so much better than many recent ones :)
Watching again this unconventional but so attentive, thoughtful and adorable couple made me realise how much I've missed watching this type of cute, heartwarming and relatable stories!
An original, well-crafted and convincing story, with well-written characters and excellent performances. Even though the pacing got a bit slower during the last episodes, overall it was an intriguing, suspenseful and very enjoyable mystery/time altering drama. Highly recommended :)
An artistic, provocative and intriguing -both visually and contextually- noir film presenting three turning points of the protagonist's life in reverse chronological order. Dystopian, bleak, emotionally raw watch at times, with stunning neon-textured cinematography and magnificent night shoots across city streets, this film is definitely not an easy watch but those who enjoyed ‘Chungking Express’ will probably like it too.
A quirky, playful, subtle but so vividly colorful road-trip story of an unusual friendship between a grumpy, cynical, foul-mouthed man and a young boy desperately wishing to see his mom. Funny, heartwarming, non-sensical, dreamy, refreshing. An underrated gem from undeniably talented Beat Takeshi, covered by the incredible music of Hisaishi Joe!
One of the best rom-coms from Japan I've watched in a while! Like "Ossan's Love", it's a very refreshing and enjoyable story with superb performances: Adachi's inner monologues and battles, as well as Kurosawa's thoughts and feelings were the cutest xD A definite must watch!
The 1st episode was the weakest, with too much (imo unnecessary) gore, but it kept getting better after each episode. I found myself rooting for most of the main characters and my fave was by far Jae Heon ♡

So engaging, quirky and unique!
Takahashi Issei was fascinating - the best choice for this role:)
You can give it a try :)
