Great film.
This is the first film I watched in 2023, and even though I didn't expect too much from it, the bar was set high.I've read some reviews and noticed quite a bit of variety in interpretations of "3-Iron". Which I think is very cool and confirms that Kim Ki Duk did not give the viewer a clear explanation of his vision.
The story itself is a bit weird but very engaging. If there is anyone in the world who would react to a stranger in their house like the FL, I would be surprised, but that's the whole point of this film. It wasn't meant to be just another ordinary story with the probability of happening in real life. This is an unbelievable picture of "love at first sight". The main characters communicated without words. They didn't say anything to each other throughout the movie. This made Lee Seung Yeon and Jae Hee's acting stand out in itself. They didn't need any words to play their roles perfectly and show a lot of emotions. It also gave the impression of watching this film as something more private for the viewer. Interestingly, only characters who were or could be an obstacle to the relationship of the main characters had spoken.
I have to mention that the music fits perfectly with the story presented in the film. I checked the translation of the text (song: Natacha Atlas - Gafsa) and it also really fits the presented relationship.

I couldn't be more wrong…
After the first half I thought I could handle this movie even though I heard it was very sad. I thought people exaggerated… And after all those cute scenes, I cried my eyes out. Then I got a few more cute scenes then the ending totally broke me.
I cried more during this movie than during all the movies I watched this year combined.
Also the aesthetics of this movie were really nice and the actors did a great job. I love this movie and highly recommend it.

I really like the plot idea itself, but...
This is one of the best idol-starred dramas I've ever watched. Pretty good acting and a great plot idea. However, there are things about it that are weak...The background music didn't always fit the scene. Usually, the music was too joyful when the scene was serious or sad. It was really distracting.
Actually, every character has experienced its own development. But it was really fast. The character's attitude changed in the blink of an eye, which is very unreal.
The thing is, "Mimicus" consists of 16 short episodes, which makes everything happen too fast. No storyline is developed enough. I believe the drama would be better if it had longer episodes. Then the creators would have time to properly develop each storyline.
I really like the plot idea itself.

One of the best thriller drama I have ever watched...
One of the best thriller drama I have ever watched. Chemistry between actors was great.The way secrets and suspects were revealed one by one was a very good idea.
One murderer was revealed before the drama's mid-episode, but that didn't slow down the action. After that, there was still a lot to reveal and the drama was engaging until the very end. Most of the time, when we as viewers thought the characters couldn't keep any more secrets, new facts came out.
The first part of the drama was shot in such a way that, as viewers, we did not know who was the perpetrator and together with the characters we discovered new facts. In the last few episodes, viewers and characters already knew the perpetrators but were looking for evidence of their guilt.
There were so many sad and surprising scenes in this drama. I also really liked the cooperation and friendship between the characters.
I really love this drama. It was great.

I waited a long time to watch this drama because I had a feeling I wouldn't like it. I finally decided to watch it thanks to the recommendation in the We Watch Challenge. It turned out that the drama captivated me from the very beginning. I like it when misunderstandings in dramas are cleared up quickly and you don't have to endure the characters' pain for several episodes. A Tale of Thousand Stars is a drama that makes you feel all kinds of emotions. It's funny but it also makes you cry. The chemistry between the characters was amazing. This is probably the best bl drama I've ever watched.Was this review helpful to you?

AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMAI still love this drama. After the initial sad events, I simply needed a moment to get used to the new situation. After thinking about it, I can even say that I liked the second season even more than the first one.
It got better as we got more signs that the relationship between Seol and Hogae was still developing. It was very subtle. The rest of the episodes focused on catching the real criminal. And I love the plot twist we got.
It's nice that the creators didn't forget about Anna's existence and made sense of her leaving for the United States. It was a very short moment, but I was happy to see her.
And I love Do Ha.

AFTER I WATCHED 8 EPISODES
Rating 8.5/10
As much as I love the first season, I hate what they did to the original characters in the second season. What are the creators trying to achieve? The second "Grey's Anatomy"? I really loved Do Jin and shipped him with Seol since the beginning. However, the creators decided to kill him, send Anna to the United States, and Seol is gone most of the time. Those are the main negatives, and the rest of the episodes could improve on those aspects by bringing in Anna and giving Seol more screen time. On the positive side, I still like the story. The cases the characters are working on are interesting and engaging. I also like Do Ha.
That's it for now, I'll update after the drama ends.

When I started watching this drama, I had really high expectations for it. However, after a few episodes, my expectations began to decrease. I noticed more and more shortcomings. Also, constantly leaving each other despite declarations of love was unnecessary and irritating in my opinion. It was more of a time filler than an interesting element of drama. Overall, I'm disappointed with the shortcomings of this drama, but I liked the colors and the music until the very end.

AFTER I WATCHED 10 EPISODES
Rating: 7/10
I watched ten episodes, there are only two left and I still can't decide fully how I feel about this drama. It's such a love-hate relationship for me with a rollercoaster of negative and positive things.
I see how much the trends in Thai bl dramas have changed in the last few years. I also noticed that Phuwin's acting has improved since his role in "'Cause You're My Boy". He is quite good at conveying positive emotions, but when it comes to negative ones, in my opinion, he lacks a lot. And in this drama, there are quite a lot of scenes where the actor has to show, for example, sadness or anger. Sometimes audio sounds unprofessional and the timing isn't always clear. I also don't like how it felt like we got Nueng's character development and then kind of regressed to his earlier behavior a moment later. I guess it's not established yet or it's just a little bit of poor writing.
Of the very positive things about this drama, I like the overall plot idea. Therefore, for now, I feel a certain disappointment and dissatisfaction with the shortcomings that have appeared. In this drama, I really love the color selection most of the time and the music is really well-matched.

Whenever we see that we can't cope with something, that we may have some disorders, it's best to try to go to a specialist who is good for us.
Ultimately, we're only human.

The Valentine's Day part was just an accidental explanation for the misunderstanding that was created after Kurosawa found the mysterious gift. Well, I agree it was cute.
The second part of the spin off revolves around Rokkaku finding out why Kurosawa often shows up unexpectedly when Rokkaku talks to Adachi. And it was actually funny.

This movie broke me into a million pieces...
This movie broke me into a million pieces. If you want to watch it, be prepared.The posters for this movie are bright. I think this may symbolize the fact that initially people outside of Gwangju didn't know what was really going on there due to the city being cut off from the outside world and deliberate misinformation. The film started calmly, slowly moving into the serious subject of the Gwangju Uprising. And then we saw the horror of the inhabitants of the city.
I think the events were portrayed very well in the film. The cast and the crew did a great job. This is a title that definitely makes the viewer feel a lot. I cried a lot.
These events really happened and the original footages from Gwangju taken by the reporter (Jürgen Hinzpeter) can be found on the internet.
[real life spoiler]
Kim Sa-Bok (real-life taxi driver) and Jürgen Hinzpeter (real-life reporter) after these events, they never met each other. Both died before they could find each other.

The cast is excellent but the film isn't.
The cast is excellent but the film isn't. That's why I'm a bit disappointed with this title.The beginning was pretty good. It showed well-made scenery, which made me excited about this film. However, after an hour it got boring. And it was boring for sixty minutes straight. The ending was better than the scenes before, but that's still not it.
I feel as if the plot of this movie is truncated, and too simple. In the end, you can easily deduce what happened to Gi Hoon, but what about his parents? Why did these people go to them? Considering the whole film and that Han was in pursuit of the main characters because he made it his goal, it was soo out of context. This part really doesn't make sense to me.
Also, the film was very predictable. It was obvious to me what would happen to the main characters.
At least the background music was good.

Some scenes were fun and some were a bit boring.
This movie was okay. Some scenes were fun and some were a bit boring. There are many characters to follow in this movie which makes it a bit chaotic.The plot is very typical in terms of twists ultimately leading to revenge. "Collectors" is also a predictable title. Nothing new happened in it, so the film would be remembered for a longer time. Probably in a week, I won't remember that I watched it.
However, if you like this type of title and you want to watch something undemanding, you may enjoy this movie.
Also, Shin Hye Sun is perfect.

This movie is like a very long MV...
This movie is like a very long MV and I love it. The music was great and everything was perfectly suited to it. I had never heard Eve's songs or covers before, and I decided to watch this movie to get to know him. It certainly didn't disappoint me."Adam by Eve: A Live in Animation" consists of fragments that look like MV when the music blasts out interspersed with peaceful scenes without music, when we follow the story of Aki and Taki. Everything is combined into a coherent whole thanks to very good visualizations and animations. Some fragments also contain elements of horror.
Overall, the movie and music appealed to my taste.

Really bad and disappointing.
My rating of this movie is 0.5/10 but when you write a review your rating must be between 1 and 10.Before this movie was released, with each trailer for it, my expectations were getting bigger. In the end, I did not see it until 2022 and I am very disappointed.
The acting was sometimes good and sometimes average. Far too many scenes with the camera shaking. There were so many of them that I started to wonder if it was really on purpose. A lot of scenes with close-ups on the faces of the characters. Some of them looked strange. I really think there should be fewer scenes like this.
The plot idea itself was really good, but the execution was very poor. The whole thing was terribly boring and tiring for me.
The last twenty minutes is the best done part of this movie, but when you watch it you are so tired of the rest of the movie that it is not easy to appreciate it.
Rei is supposed to be in love, but since high school she has shown a great desire to have sex with Nanae. It has been mentioned too many times for me.
Some things really feel like lesbophobia.
I really didn't like this movie. I hate it.
