One of a kind! Worth watching!

Guess you can say I watched this movie because of Xiao Zhan, but then again, after completely watching the film, I can tell you with utmost confidence that not only the movie is awesome - because XZ is acting in it - but the entire movie / story line is amazing! A lot of action and fighting, with a little tiny bit of romance, but the story is amazing! XZ really did a great job - from the tan line till the goofiness of his in certain parts, it was an amazing way of him blending in with all the various kinds of roles he plays. Anyways, back to this movie, I find that all the actors and actresses did a very good job in bringing this movie to life. They all played their roles very well and this movie turned out to be extremely awesome, if you are looking for an action packed movie. Not only that, I get to listen to different types of dialects / languages from China.

The songs paired to this movie is also quite interesting and nice to listen to.

A first watch is highly recommended. The re-watch would have to see if you really enjoyed yourself watching it for the first time.

Good, but felt a bit rushed.

I liked this movie, i watched it for the second time because i wanted to write a revieuw and the first time was to long ago to remember the details. I enjoyed it as much as the first time.

The story is good, but it feels rushed. I also watched the series and this story is a lot better as a long series, it just needs the time to realy tell the story right. Even if i hadn't watched the series i still would feel the movie feels rushed. But it's still a good watch as a movie.

The visuals are stunning, good music and good special effects.
The actors did a good job and the dynamics and chemistry of the leads were good. Plus i really can appreciate a good kiss!

A Wholesome Satisfaction throughout 1 Hour

I know U guyss already know through the Synopsis that it'll be a School-Bullying Theme.Yes,There Are bullying. Everytime you watch them Your Blood will Boil to the Highest Peak.But Trust Me it was needed for the satisfaction you'll feel in the later Episode.If you can't feel the Pain of Victim or can't Hate the Villain enough the satisfaction will be dull for you.

Both The actors Did really well in their part.Shin hae sun is always my favourite actress, on the other hand Hating a handsome man like Lee Jun young is really hard.But they Both really nailed their character. Other side characters r good too.How i wish it would be a Drama rather than a Movie.why?? because i feel chemistry.. hihihi 🤩😍

Unfunny and Uninteresting

A plot that has been used on a lot of K-Dramas recently, I watched Love Untangled with minimum expectations, and still got disappointed.

The Plot - A Girl with curly hair wants to get it untangled so that she can propose her crush. A concept that is not unknown in dramas. What I expected to be honest that maybe the movie will preach about loving yourself irrespective of appearance, but it didn't.

Talking about the chemistry, I felt both the ML were miscast and the screentime for Cha Woo Min was insanely low. There was no emotional gravity, no bond built-up and lack of spark that made me lose interest in the characters.

The second half felt like watching something with a 2x speed, no development, rushed story, weak screenplay and an unsatisfactory ending. Honestly, the movie did try something, but felt nothing more than a pale imitation of other rom-com themes that I have seen in the past.

Overall, Love Untangled is a messy and a weakly written rom-com that neither romanticizes it's character fairly nor leaves a strong message of loving yourself with the flaws. A total disappointment.

My Rating : 2/5

Charming slice of life

If you are having a bad day and need something soothing with almost zero conflict and the nice being nice to the nice, The Way We Are is the perfect answer to what ails you. Ann Hui created a gentle and touching slice of life centered around a hard-working widow raising her teenage son.

Cheung Kwai works as a durian slicer and stocker at the local grocery store. Her son Ka On enjoys manga and while not ambitious has a good heart on him. The two live in a rundown apartment, yet are content in their circumstances. A new elderly neighbor asks Kwai about a job in the store. Kwai takes Granny Leung Foon under her wing helping her whenever she can. The two women develop an easy-going bond. Whether a funeral, a hospitalized relative, or celebration, Kwai’s family gathers and supports each other. Kwai had worked to put her brothers through school and they now look for opportunities to show her kindness.

Pau Hei Ching’s Kwai was the focal point of the film with the other characters acting as satellites circling around her magnetic pull. Pau gave Kwai a quiet confidence and soft-spoken demeanor. Nothing rattled her as she faced whatever came her way with strength and aplomb. Pau went largely without makeup, had mussed up hair, and wore old t-shirts, yet had a beautiful dignity. Chan Lai Wan exuded the tragic loneliness of an older woman who had lost the most important people in her life. At the HKFA, Pau won for Best Actress, Chan Lai Wan for Supporting Actress and Ann Hui for Best Director—all well deserved.

This film will not be for everyone as nothing exciting happened. Hui showcased the quiet joys of tissues being given with the daily newspaper, freshly cut fruit, and helping a person without asking for anything in return. Filled with compassionate, kind acts, The Way We Are was exactly what I needed in this time when civility and generosity have often become too rare.

I started watching this movie, "Journey to the Shore" at the beginning, I was smiling seeing Sang-Beom and Min-ha hang out together, and I was blushing after seeing them kiss! I was a bit shocked to see that Min-ha got injured on the beach, and I'm glad that Sang-Beom helped him., I was a bit mad that in school, four girls were making fun of Min-ha with someone else, but it was a bit weird and embarrassing after seeing Min-ha touch the part of the girl. Sang-Beom and Min-ha walked together. I feel like Min-ha has struggled with his mental health, and I feel the same way as him. But at the end, in the middle, including before, I was very happy seeing them having fun, then change, and I felt upset that Min-ha broke up with Sang-beo, and I was a bit upset, and Sang-beom was upset as well. At the end, I feel like Min-ha might have committed Suicide or gone somewhere for a better life. I enjoyed it and love them so much!

Heartbreaking Story

A heartbreaking story about a Korean family in the earlier 2000s. this movie is based off real events.

I was reminded of many things while watching this movie. One of them is be aware of the people you call friends. Becareful who you trust and listen to that gut feeling.


If you are a fan of the cast I would give it a watch just mentally prepare yourself.


Amazing acting, writing and pacing. One time watch since it's such a heavy plot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plot Synopsis:

"Jeong Yoon and Jong Bae own a car body repair shop together that gets in financial trouble. To help cover the losses and take care of her family, Jeong Yoon decides to smuggle thirty kilograms of cocaine."

A Heartfelt Romance About Authenticity

The story of Lovesick follows Ye Zijie, a troubled student who, in an attempt to escape academic pressure and family problems, decides to fake an illness. At the same time, we meet Ye Zijie, the strict yet mysterious class president (who, curiously, shares his name), and who soon begins to suspect his deception.

At first, I wasn’t fond of the female lead’s behavior. Her blunt, almost hostile attitude feels jarring, so much so that it’s hard to imagine anyone acting like that in real life. Yet, as the film progresses, it becomes clear that this sharpness is part of her character’s evolution.

Director Fu-Hsiang Hsu skillfully avoids falling into the trap of exaggerated melodrama. Rather than leaning on the usual clichés of romance films to force empathy, he allows the story to unfold naturally, revealing the characters with both their flaws and their strengths. This choice makes their connection feel far more genuine, and therefore, much more powerful.

Ultimately, Lovesick is a film about acceptance, not only of illness or circumstance, but also of oneself. By confronting and exposing their vulnerabilities, the characters learn to love themselves and discover strength within their fragility. It is precisely this courage, this bravery to be seen as they truly are, that makes the film’s message resonate so deeply.

insane plot twist, this was better than the first movie

bro what else do i say here ,,,, liiiiiiieeeeekkkkkkk

니 눈앞에 왔잖아 내가 여기 있잖아
너의 입술로 말을 해줘 say yes, say yes
나도 모르게 너에게 가고 있나봐
부는 바람에 내 맘 전할래 love is true
간지럽게만 느껴지던 눈 빛이
이제는 익숙 하단듯이 웃음 짓지
그 쪽으로 걸어가기만 하면 돼
라고 친구들은 계속해서 날 부추기지만
아직은 무거운 구두의 뒷 굽
차라리 벗어버리고 싶은 이 밤의 끝
손을 내밀어 줬으면 해
맨발로 너에게 뛰어갈 수 있게 끔

복잡하기만한 하루에
매 시간 머리를 굴리지만 난 hey
지금에서야 깨달은 건데
결국 다 버려지고 너만 남아
지난 봄에는 널 우연히 봤고
더 이상은 우연이 아니였으면 해
스치기만 했던 너의 손을 잡고
어떤 길이라도 같이 걸었으면 해
니 눈앞에 왔잖아 내가 여기 있잖아
