la mire por hong kyung y está todo q veeer ?
Esta pelicula me decidi a miearla porque me salieron edita de tiktoks (ya saben que esa es la razon por la que me decido a mirar algo) tambien fue porque el actor hong kyung (uno de los co protagonistas) sale en esta peli (como habia visto weak hero, queria ver como actuaba en este nuevo papel)la trama es interesante porque es basada en una historia real, asi que eso llama mas la atencion.
la peli tiene momentos de comedia, que me daban mas coraje que gracia, dejame explicarlo. Me daban coraje, por el hecho de pensar que asi se comportan los gobernates en situaciones realmente serias o tragicas y se preocupaban por otras cosas o se lo tomaban a la ligera.
Yo si lo veo como una critica/realidad a lo que pasa con los que estan en el poder, aquello que nosotros los ciudadanos no logramos ver, como es que “resuleven” situaciones de este tipo pero al final solo muestra aquella cara de la luna. (referencia lol)
no se mucho de hacer reseñas ni nada de eso, asi que solo doy mi humilde opinion…pero ya no estare de mamadora :p
sobre el final si me dejo una sensacion de frustracion, porque el seo go (el guapo del hong kyung) al final termino siendo un heroe tras bambalinas como su padre, que ironico la
verdad. Yo realmente queria que fuera reconocido por todo su labor, porque apesar de que primero se vio obligado, conforme fue avanzando la trama se dio cuenta que podia ser reconido por su hazaña y lo tento el exito, al final lo hizo por humanidad y se dio cuenta que solo queria salvarlos, asi que el ver que todo lo que hizo fue ocultado por el gobierno fue como ???? >:c si me dio coraje
wey, le dieron un reloj tambien ptm
pero al final es una realidad en nuestras vidas, en la historia cuantos no fueron heroes y la realidad es que otros terminaron llevandose el reconocimiento por lo hecho…no es justo, pero son cosas que pasan…que el sistema hace que pase.
tengo que mencionar que el hong kyung estaba mas sexy que de costumbre, q hombre la verdad, esa voz (EN TRES IDIOMAS) todo que ver, el japones ufff
facilmente podría ser mi ruido blanco cada noche
todo con ese hombre esta realmente bien, no me arrepiento de verlo en esta peli
wey que onda con los “secuestradores” eran un chiste realmente, obvio yo pensaba que ellos no se iban a atrever a matar a los pasajeros y le atine, es que no me daban vibras de malotes, ni nada, solo querian ser vistos o que alguien hablara de ellos, esa es mi percepcion
si tuviera que decidir si lo recomiendo: diria que si, es una peli buena para pasar el
rato y entretenida ;p
tambien lo que me gusto es que hablaran japones, coreano y un poco de ingles

ALMOST A MASTERPIECE
Outside of the story, absolutely everything about this production was top shelf stuff. Acting/casting, pacing, cinematography, score, editing, costumes, production design -- all perfect. I'm not going to wax poetic, just see for yourself.The story was quite interesting. I give it an 8.5 because it only had two shortcomings --
1. In the second half, it started resorting to melodrama as a device. Shock and awe, as like to call it. It could have gone down a notch or so for this otherwise gentle toned film.
2. I'm not sure the ending quite nailed the landing. For a movie this subtle, the ending has to be perfect. It seemed like a happy ending was tacked on, or that they never had a satisfactory ending. The ending isn't bad. It's just not as perfect as the film.

A Thrill Ride
Makes you hate one lead, then another.It wasn't until about half way through the first intimacy scene that I really understood this drama. The character motivations seemed a bit blurry at first. However, it's undeniable that both actors are amazing at portraying burning passion - both for eachother and for what they do.
What really sold me for this drama was the ending. Now, I'm not much for open endings, but the passion and feeling the ending brought up in me was something else. Originally, I was expecting a bad ending. However, I'm glad they took the open ending approach of only slightly understanding the leads relationship. It felt a lot more mature than a puppy love ending or going ghost.

Make it make sense
This movie was incredibly perplexing and deeply unsettling.To be honest, the narrative appears to lack coherence, leaving me utterly baffled. The viewing experience was quite uncomfortable, especially given the age of the characters involved. The highly explicit scenes felt uncomfortable, serving no real purpose in advancing the plot or developing the characters. In an attempt to grasp the storyline, I turned to the manga, hoping to find clarity, but that only compounded my confusion. While the plot had some basic elements, it ultimately lacked a clear motive or meaning, leading to a sense of confusion. Perhaps some viewers might find a deeper understanding, but to me, it felt like a collection of disjointed scenes devoid of significance and a cohesive storyline.

A vision of vengeance
A truly intoxicating blend of wuxia fantasy and revenge melodrama, The Lady Hermit revels in cruelty, beauty, and moral extremity. Stripping back an otherwise familiar formula to its barest essentials, there's something to be said about the film's execution that makes the following of said formula ultimately redundant, retaining all of its heart. There are plenty of quintessential Shaw Brothers staples, whether it be lavish sets, saturated colours, or a theatrical artificiality that paradoxically heightens the violence. However, it's thanks to director Ho Meng-Hua that it all happens with a tremendous amount of style and flair. Despite the film's love triangle occasionally threatening to disrupt the impeccable pacing, it's handily compensated for by a truly rousing finale, rife with arterial sprays. The action is all executed to a high standard, filled with rhythm, pose and shock. The violence is sudden and severe, often lingering just long enough to be uncomfortable, reflecting the film's bleak worldview. Even moments of triumph feel poisoned, as if every victory costs something irretrievable. This is not about justice; it is about annihilation. The film certainly benefits from a set of great performances; Cheng Pei-Pei is certainly unforgettable in the titular role, while Lo Lieh is always a treat; however, the show is stolen by Shih Szu. She conveys a striking emotional arc, moving from vulnerability to near-emotionless precision, embodying a protagonist who has consciously sacrificed humanity for vengeance. Notable for its depiction of female rage and power at a time when the genre was still largely male-dominated, The Lady Hermit is a haunting and often unsettling experience, trading heroic romanticism for bitterness and blood. A vision of vengeance that acknowledges empowerment while simultaneously questioning its price, suggesting that survival in a corrupt world may require becoming monstrous oneself.Was this review helpful to you?

This movie will ruin you
When I started watching this movie, I didn't know what to expect, but I was completely swept away. I loved this movie from beginning to end. Their romance was so pure and perfect. The first time I watched it, I was so amazed by their relationship, that I didn't even see the end coming at all. Every time I rewatch it, I still bawl my eyes out at the end.Honestly, I feel like there aren't many movies that have touched me as much as this one did. It just has some heartwarming and unexpected twists that completely change the story (sometimes in a good way and sometimes not 😔).

You may as well book in for therapy before watching this movie !
**Trigger Warning:** If you're considering watching "The World of Kanako," tread carefully. This film is devoid of heroes, presenting a grim tapestry woven with deeply flawed and reprehensible characters. It showcases humanity at its most grotesque and twisted, featuring a multitude of disturbing images that can be profoundly unsettling. I strongly advise you to think twice before diving in for the sake of your mental well-being.The experience left me utterly speechless for days, and four years later, the visceral shock and feelings of unease continue to haunt me. The darkness of the narrative escalates relentlessly, plunging into depths that can only be described as harrowing.
This movie is a relentless portrayal of abuse in its most explicit forms, pushing boundaries that many may find difficult to stomach. But despite its sickening nature, I must acknowledge that the film excels in storytelling and acting. If the filmmakers aimed to illustrate the depths of human depravity and the twisted realities of our world, they succeeded with remarkable intensity, leaving me utterly shattered.
Nana Komatsu delivers an astonishing performance, and it's hard to believe that this is her debut film! Watching it was a profoundly challenging experience, but undeniably impactful..

Some faithful, some reworked. War movie with OTT violence, and then one love story and another, success, betrayal, loyalty, magic, mythical sea creatures and special effects of dubious merit.
This isn't one to watch critically, better to just go along for the ride.

Not my Cup of Tea - Real Life is harsh enough
This film starts as a beautiful but awkward love story between Jimmy, an 18-year-old Taiwanese teen working at a karaoke bar, and Ami, a Japanese backpacker who briefly works alongside him.Spoilers
The chemistry never truly sparks, which I later realized was intentional—Ami keeps her distance due to her hidden struggle with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a serious heart condition where the heart muscle thickens abnormally, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively and potentially leading to life-threatening complications).I never rooted for Jimmy and Ami as a couple, and I couldn't understand why Jimmy became so obsessively devoted to her from the outset. The story leans heavily on the frustrating trope of one person (Ami) unilaterally withholding life-altering information—her terminal illness—under the guise of nobility.
Eighteen years later, Jimmy (now in his 30s) remains so fixated on the "what if" of Ami that he's avoided other relationships entirely. This obsession stalls his personal growth and professional success, trapping his entire young adult life around what he perceived as rejection. It's profoundly sad, but in a preventable, self-inflicted way.
There are almost no genuinely uplifting moments to lighten the gloom—at most, their single date provides a brief flicker. They share a movie-watching scene that clearly devastates them both, but the film never explains the movie's content or why it affects them so deeply. It also glosses over Ami's hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, leaving key emotional context underdeveloped.
Ironically, the fleeting relationships Jimmy forms during his present-day journey through Japan are far more heartwarming and authentic than his central romance with Ami. The young boy he befriends on the train is adorable and genuinely kind, creating a sweet, fleeting connection that brought a real smile to my face. Even more charming is the young woman working at the internet cafe who kindly takes him to a lantern festival—their easy rapport felt refreshing, and I found myself hoping Jimmy would track her down again and maybe spark a new, healthier relationship.
While some viewers who love melancholic films might call this "realistic," and others may view Ami's secrecy as selfless (she truly believed she was protecting Jimmy, and it pained her deeply), I strongly disagree. True love means facing difficult truths together and making decisions as partners, not alone.
The frequent switching between Japanese and Mandarin also confused me; without clearer cues, it was hard to follow the languages and made scenes feel disjointed.
I would not recommend this film. I would not watch it again. And I avoid content like this. i do not need sad, or terminal illnesses or anything like that - enough going on like that in real life.

THE CUTEST MOVIE EVER
why was this the cutest movie ever 😭 it felt like such a warm hug. and honestly I was kind of skeptical after hearing about the plot because it's been done bajillion of times and like even in 2025 curly hair is a problem to be solved?? but I'm so happy I was wrong because the movie was so amazing. it's one of those movies you'd rewatch to feel something, the ROM coms you just put on yk. I don't know I just love it. the female lead was so cute and the male lead was also so adorable. I also loved the second lead I don't think he was a lead but whtv because of the actor. it's just an amazing movie.Was this review helpful to you?

Not enough talk about it
Beautifully written ! Very empowering movie about psychological effect of postpartum depression (It's much more than postpartum depression) and gender discrimination of today society on young women.Bit slow paced but worth watching if you are up for some real life topics. Might not be popular among the male gender cuz of the main topic but worth watching to educate yourself about a serious issues in our scociety who sees woman as naturally designed to be mothers/ wives/ daughters.
Definitely a must for those who plan to have kids! Bring awareness and educate your partner.

Amazing Ride!!!
I absolutely loved it. It made me laugh out loud, but it also made me cry when things got serious. The heart of the movie is their friendship—I love how they always stick together no matter what. Their trip to Thailand was so crazy and unrealistic, but the characters are so charming that you fall for them anyway. A beautiful story about loyalty and memories.Was this review helpful to you?

Surrender.
First of all, we know Billkinpp is both such a good actor like ever since Itsay they're both talented, And this movie is adapted from "Marry my dead body" It's a Taiwan bl movie (that's what I can recall)-The story started off Funny LIKE EXTREMELY FUNNY, The way Billkin can do scenes like that and ATE.
-Maybe don't watch it with your family, There's some scenes that might be approved by your parents (FIRST OF ALL, WHO WOULD DO THAT)
-The ending:
It's kinda a reasonable ending but the Ambulance scene really did the tears for me
CAUSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN
"I'm talking to my wife" WHEN YOU HATED *HIM* ON THE FIRST PLACE AND DIDNT EVEN WANT TO GET MARRIED TO HIM
-Ost:
I really don't mind Ost's especially if the series is good, But if the series isn't good, Man I would hope the ost will save it and for this Movie I could tell you, I easily get bored on bl's especially when I already watched like 150+ bl's and rn I give bl's only one second to impress me.
-I personally like Angst so if you like Angst, Action and like the secret caring idk man, I'm bad at words but yeah RECOMMENDED

waste of time.
I have nothing against cliche drama unless they are made poorly.these stories are not groundbreaking but the audience still enjoy them because of their cuteness, romance and good feelings. this drama is void of everything.
the plot line is about a" Cinderella" taking part in a tv show in order to win a date with their favourite drama actor.
that's fine.. but there is nothing here to enjoy.
the script is ridiculous, the characters are so flat, it feels like a very uninspired movie.
there isn't really much to say.. it is a typical Cyrano the Bergerac story without much depth.
the only aspect I liked is the multicultural aspect. you hear Tagalog, English and Korean and as a language lover that's the only thing I really enjoyed.
if you are over 12 skip it
