Enjoyable Movie
I truly enjoyed the whole movie. The intricate costume design and meticulously crafted set in this movie are cool, man. The Japanese armor design is dope af, and they've truly captured it exceptionally well. I love that they showcase the nuanced aftermatch of his campaign in this movie. The cinematography is top-notch, with numerous beautiful scenes that vividly capture the grand scale of war. Usually, other series or movies don't depict it with such precision.However, it's kinda hard to follow the plot, even with my knowledge of the Imjin War. And yeah, I agree that the first movie was much better in terms of direction, but this movie excels in action, in my opinion. As a devoted fan of Admiral Yi Sun Shin, I thoroughly enjoy this movie despite its flaws.
Finally, man, can they just hire a Japanese actor for a Japanese character? After watching so much anime, I can distinctly hear the not-so-Japanese-speaking character. You can almost sense the un-Japaneseness. And I'm not even Japanese. Imagine for people who speak Japanese; it must be hell to listen to. I'm not against the actor, but at least if you don't want to hire a Japanese actor, consider a Korean actor with fluent Japanese.

NOT a "lighthearted" coming of age story like Netflix described :( Pass if you don't want to cry
I was in a depressed mood and when I saw that this was listed as a "lighthearted" movie, I thought PERFECT! I'll watch of fun quick romance. When the Male lead didn't stopped replying to the female leads emails and then she didn't hear from him for years it never even crossed my mind that he was dead because, again, this is listed as a LIGHTHEARTED romance on Netflix! LIES. Towards the end when she go the invitation to the exhibition I was actually thinking she better kick his but to the middle of next year, because he has no good excuse for ghosting her like that (no pun intended). Then I saw the image of the plum tree and bench with his birth and death day, and in front of my husband and two toddlers I cried out so loud, it startled them and then burst into tears! Whoever considers that light hearted must have a heart than can bench press a house, because this movie placed about 10 tons of heartache on me. I stopped the movie right there and DNF'd it. Even writing this review makes me want to lower my rating. So just to be clear, this MAY be a great movie to some people, but I HATE these types of stories. Life is hard enough, I don't want to watch them on tv, which is the time I spend escaping some of the hard things I have to see and hear through my line of work.Was this review helpful to you?
Muito divertido
Eu esperava uma coisa mais explícita, confesso. Mas isso não fez o filme perder seu valor. Gostei muito de como retratou tudo com muito cuidado, e como não ficou focado apenas no explícito, gostei da química dos protagonistas, da atuação deles, da fotografia do filme e até saí obcecada pelo ator principal hahah. É um filme divertido, e que pode fazer vc sentir vergonha em algumas cenas, mas vale a pena assistir. Talvez você queira até reassistir várias vezes ((((((como eu fiz. Só não aconselho assistir com a família kkkkklkkWas this review helpful to you?
Emocionante, mas não tão memorável
Confesso que a protagonista me deu uma leve canseira no início, achei ela chata dms, porém o protagonista me fez prosseguir e valeu a pena. É emocionante, há uma certa evolução, há toda a questão sobre ser cuidado e cuidar. Te faz chorar, te faz torcer pra tudo dar certo, mas é um pouco do mesmo, nada tão inovador. No início pode causar muito ranço até kkkkkkkkkkkk e depois vc só vai ficando triste. Uma coisa que eu gostei é que retrata a realidade como ela é, sem trazer grandes mentiras de personagens com as vidas incríveis e super estáveis.Was this review helpful to you?
É uma ótima opção pra aquecer o coração
É um romance fofo de nerds, então não tem como eu dizer que não gostei. A atuação deixa a desejar um pouco, principalmente com a protagonista, mas o filme em si é divertido, levinho e gostosinho de ver. Pra quem joga RPG ou já jogou, deve gostar, eu senti saudades da época que jogava hahahahahaNão muda vidas, não é nada cheio de grandes emoções, nada que vá te fazer derramar lágrimas ou algo assim, mas é bom de assistir numa tarde chuvosa quando você só quer se distrair e esquecer como o mundo é terrível.

Reconnecting Hearts: A Heartwarming Cinematic Experience
Reconnecting Hearts: A Heartwarming Cinematic Experience...In our lives, there are many such people whom we wish to meet again somewhere, sometime, and what a coincidence it is if we actually get that chance....This movie has been directed with a lot of sincerity. It was a very heartwarming movie, and I enjoyed watching it a lot.

Mifune could direct, who knew?
Legacy of the 500,000 sees legendary actor Toshirō Mifune both in front and behind the camera for the first and only time in his career, taking elements from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and crafting a fun little treasure-hunting adventure with darker undertones. Mifune's level of technical prowess is genuinely remarkable and something he seems very passionate about, with plenty of impressive shots and making great use of being shot on location in the Philippines, it feels less like a big studio film and more like an independent B-movie. The performances from the entire cast are all solid, Mifune is the star so obviously gets the most screen time but it's time he happily shares alongside his co-stars. While the photography by Takao Saitō was genuinely lovely for the entire runtime, utilising the B&W Tohoscope format to great effect, choosing to transition between scenes with Flash Gordon / Star Wars-esque wipes was certainly a choice. Nipping along at a fast pace, Legacy of the 500,000 is a genuinely great and highly enjoyable little film, more than showing what Mifune was capable of had he chosen to spend just as much time behind the camera as he did in front of it and for that reason alone it's worth a watch.Was this review helpful to you?
About movie...
I will show you my opinion about this movie.I can tell you that if you see this title it isn't impressive this was my first thought nevertheless I watched it and I can tell I'm really surprised about the plot and acting in this movie.
The first 30 minutes can be boring for you but it has to be like this. They show us you the story about main family but Its just my opinion.
The rest of the movie will be suspenful. You can feel scary if you don't have strong nerves. This movie have a lot of plot twists. I can tell you will be exciting while you will watch it.
So what can I say enjoy watching.

Title Matches The Story
This is the 'feel good' story of the year. Sometimes a title to a movie is so spot-on that nothing more needs to be said about it. The summation is expressed, quite literally, in this title. It is a story about a very lonely young man who by chance meets a very nice man and a love is awakened. Not only is a love awakened but a reckoning and a realization of oneself is as well. You get all of that in just over 30 minutes of pure cinematic magic in this beautiful love sonnet that reads more like poetry than prose.Was this review helpful to you?
They literally have got each other back!!!
What a lighthearted inspiring movie, as expected from Jap Movie!Wow, the last performance got me smiling ear to ear, without me realizing. I really love how they are REALLY having fun doing this. Their positive energy is contagious!
The highlight would be how they are breaking the prejudice around men joining cheer team, the same way women would be prejudiced for joining soccer team. It's a refreshing perspective watching how they display that this is a very "man-ly" sports after alll, with all the acrobatics and sportsmanship, just like any other sports would have
It's definitely fun watching them being thrown and flipped around in the air lol
I adore the teamwork, especially the amount of trust they have. It's literally, knowing we've got each other back in this case.
It's beautiful watching everyone joining the team for different reason but eventually everyone heals their wounds and step out of their comfort zone
Everyone wins! Really love it, another great work by Yokohama Ryusei! It;s also a bonus surprise seeing the ML from Senpai, Danjite Koidewa!!

Everyone has a chance
I saw this movie by a chance so I would say that the director succeeded even though the main character in the movie tries to succeed with, what seems like a bad idea. He dreams of a blockbuster but insists of doing an erotic B-movie and is disappointed with constant failures. It is true that no achievement can be accomplished without failures. It is said that Thomas Edison produced 2000 bad lightbulbs before achieving success. So all those failures were necessary to discover a right way to do it. In this movie, a movie-director Seung Hoon fails at many steps but somehow he goes on and that is a good message.The movie also reminds us of the limitations a problems caused by to Covid. The acting could have been better. I was surprised to see some American people here. The jokes weren't very funny to me but I will remember the movie in positive light because i enjoyed the selection of songs played in the background a couple of times.

Warm hug in TV form for ussss!!!
So, imagine this drama where Satoyema is the most honest dude ever. He never hides his feelings and is super friendly all the time – like a human teddy bear. And Nozomi, she's into him, but get this, she still roots for her friend. Talk about a heart of gold!Then there's Erina, the friend who gets it. She's there through thick and thin, and you can't help but love her. The drama, 'Our Secret Diary,' is not your typical mushy romance. It's cute, it's real, and it's like a chill pill for your soul.
It's basically a warm hug in TV show form. If you're into stories that feel like real life, messy and all, 'Our Secret Diary' is your jam. Trust me, it's like comfort food for your emotions – cozy and satisfying!

As a Thriller movie, its good
First of all, i want to clarify that i haven't watch the original movie. So maybe thats why i enjoyed this movie a lot more.1. Okada Junichi and Ayano Go
The acting in "Hard Day" is amazing, especially Okada Junichi and Ayano Go. Junichi usually plays tough characters, but here he's a vulnerable officer, showing off his acting skills. Ayano Go plays the villain so well with twitchy eyes and subtle moves. You can feel his massive anger, especially after a run-in with his father-in-law.
2. Seeing Both Views
The movie cleverly shows the same events from two perspectives. The villain seems calm from the outside, but when you see things from their point of view, they're just like everyone else. It adds a cool twist to the story.
3. Ost
If you have watch the Movie "Sicario", you'd now that soundtrack in this movie has the same vibe to it, and that's how you now its a good soudntrack.
4. Unrealistic Moments
How, like how the heck did he surived the bomb with insanely minimum damage to his body. He should be burning to hell by now. But then he even got the strength to drive to the vault location? Hell nah.
Overall, even with some unreal moments, "Hard Day" is a simple and thrilling movie. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. The acting and the dual perspectives make it a ride worth taking.

The ending kinda sucked
I just wanted to say before I type my thoughts on the movie that this is my very first review. I never write reviews because I have never needed to. Even if something was bad, I appreciated what it was trying to do and enjoyed it for what it was but for this movie. I had something to say.I didn't like how it ended. The main male lead dying like that in such an unexplained way and out of nowhere took me out of the story. The only reason I rated it this high was because everything but that ending was great in my opinion. This movie would have gotten a much higher score if they did the normal happy ending route where he comes back and they live happily ever after, or alternatively, they would have committed more to the death and built up to it better. Right now the death was very very abrupt and it is not clear what exactly happened to him which left me more confused and unsatisfied than sad as the ending should have been.

I WISH THERE'S MORE
i was just looking for something to watch and i ran into this one clip from the movie on yt shorts so i decided to watch it.i was not really expecting anything other than its a teen drama on a school setting. at first i was honestly bored and was thinking twice if i should continue but when i felt the main characters chemistry BROOOOO i decided to continue.
its somewhat fun!! i enjoyed it and its not bad at all. some scenes are funny lol. so if you're looking for just a go to teen concept to watch i think this is worth the try.
for the main characters, i felt the chemistry which is one of the things that im really looking for in a drama so they gave me that. they're cute!!
the story itself, its kinda fast and rush for me but its a movie soooooo?? and the ending:( i wish there's more like i want to see them dating something like that u know bc i feel like i dont know anything about the characters yet but they ended it with a typical kissing scene and thats it. thats why i was like i wish this is a series😭
overall, its cute, its fun but nothing really stuck into u (u know what i meaaan?) but still im glad i watch it! ♡
