This review may contain spoilers
I found the plot interesting until the introduction of the monster, after which the movie went downhill. The story relied heavily on clichés such as a young superhero saving innocents, a lovable orphan who was murdered by villains, and a man who gets his revenge.
The ending felt rushed and unfulfilling, leaving too many questions unanswered. Although the visuals and acting were impressive, I prefer movies with more depth and a fleshed-out plot. Therefore, I will stick to dramas and avoid this type of movie in the future, unless it receives a rating of 9+ stars..

this is the goofiest BL i have ever seen
i just saw the movie for yuta and it was scrumptious, but the plot was NON EXISTENT, they just fought for no reason.but because it was so ridiculous, it was funny.
some points:
- i think el hermano de jorel was the best character
- there was a weird tension between amagai and ryo, and the plot would have been 10 times better if they either kissed, fucked, or held hands fr
- it was overall kinda gay
- these dumbass bitches just kept mewing through out the whole movie (especially todoroki).
- yuta should have taken his clothes off and twerk covered in oil
(also, i never saw women in the movie, so i kept thinking about how do these guys are born, and i only could come with the answer that they get pregnant between men)
very funny movie tho

I enjoy a lot of movies by strongberry and this one was really good, too!
Definitely looking forward to new shows and movies from strongberry, since they almost never fail to entertain me.

It's scifi with the human aspect.
This is the best "Moon" to date. The #Kdrama industry once again has proven that they can produce top notch #scifi productions. They never cease to amaze me on how they can keep the human aspect strong in their stories without it turning into a regular drama.I highly recommend this!
You wouldn't even think it was an Asian production. They surpassed Hollywood here, hands down.
Thank you Viu for providing both a subtitled and dubbed versions. I enjoyed watching both versions. A great 2023 holiday gift for your subscribers.
And congratulations to the production team for giving the world a great film.

cute but hilarious
I really don’t want to insult anyone, but i found this funny 😭for a 7 minute video, the story itself isn’t bad, maybe a bit “poor” but not bad.the problems were the voiceovers, that stopped when they weren’t over talking, the sounds of stuff, and the complete silence when they weren’t going anything🤔there was like this music in the background and nothing else..
the acting wasn’t bad but not very very good, there can be some improvements.
what I found most funny was the ice cream changing in every clip, that’s what the 1 point rewatching value is for!
if y’all don’t have nothing to do, watch it because it’s only 7 minutes..

A Culinary Journey of Friendship and Love
"There is beauty in subtlety," and this sentiment perfectly captures the charm of this delightful movie. It serves a delicious blend of sweetness that leaves you craving more. The storyline is a fluffy exploration of the lives of our two main leads, Aki and Haru, as they share a roof and savor the culinary delights prepared by Aki in their new home.Unfolding from April to December, the movie captures the journey of best friends Aki and Haru navigating their shared life. While the film prominently features their daily life and gastronomic adventures, it's the nuanced layers beneath these themes that add depth and a continuous smile to your face.
At its core, the movie is about food and the life of Haru and Aki. But it’s what lies beneath the veneer of these themes that makes it interesting and puts a smile on your face. As the movie begins, you realise that our two main characters share a special bond. Haru is decisive and a cleanliness freak. He is aware about the direction he wants to take his life and is actively studying for the same. On the contrary, Aki is a happy-go-lucky fellow who is oblivious about what he wants to do in life and despises studies. What he lacks in understanding he makes it up with his culinary abilities. As we see these characters going through their life and interacting with multiple supporting characters, we get a glimpse of the relationship that they share. The movie does a great job at presenting the true nature of their relationship through the eyes of the supporting characters.
In conclusion, if you're seeking a heartwarming and uncomplicated narrative, this movie is a perfect choice. It seamlessly keeps a smile on your face, navigating moments of tension with swift resolutions. The movie's success lies in its simplicity, offering a comforting and enjoyable experience.

Best out of the first seven movies in the series
I'm slowly making my way through this series, and I feel that "Good Samaritan" was a big step up in quality from the previous movies. For instance, little touches in some of the train and bus scenes had a documentary feel that reminded me of Yamada's masterpieces "Where Spring Comes Late" and "Home From the Sea." And the relationship between Tora and his sister Sakura, especially in the latter half of the movie, reached a deeper level of emotional realism than ever before. Also, it's always a pleasure to see one of my favorite actors, Tanaka Kunie, grace the screen with his brilliantly earthy, twitchy, expressive acting, brief though his part may be.Was this review helpful to you?
Deep, yet very hartwarming story
The drama is so well filmed. The whole story was perfectly portrayed by the actors, however, I was kind of triggered by those unending crying scenes (they just were there, no spoiling).If you are planning to watch this drama, it's probably not a secret that it´s overall a pretty sad story. Whether it´s the heart condition problems or the love between the main couple.
Anyway, I liked how they uniquely portrayed every relationship. I mean...it wasn't cringe (mostly parent-child relationships are portrayed like that)
I would highly recommend this show mostly to girls in their teen ages or in their early 20s (close to the characters' age)
P.S. Be ready to laugh, cry, smile, fangirl over the main cast and be ready for everything

I installed this app just to give a review to this movie!
I've watched countless movies but this movie really stuck in my mind!!! At first, I thought this is like any typical movie where the protagonist is always abused then a man came to the rescue but I was wrong, THERE'S A TWIST! The actors were all stunning especially the main character🤭 I love everything from the actors, the cinematography and the effects. Everything is wonderful. This encourages me to watch also other japanese movies. I'm wishing for the success. I can't wait for the season 2!😍👏Was this review helpful to you?

Meals, rommies and maybe more?
The hype about how cute this movie was got to me! I should really be stronger and resist better! I am weak!Apparently there is a sequel to this movie which I hope will clarify their relationship more.
It is story of two best friends from high school who decided to share a house when they enter university. One is a neat freak and the other is a messy and lazy cook and they complement each other to perfection. But they are only room-mates. The problem is that it is obvious to everyone who knows them that they are deeply in love with each other. It's only that they had not realized it yet! Once the neat freak starts getting busy with studies and projects for the future, the cook feels abandoned and wants their roommates' bliss to remain unchanged. It takes both some time to accept the inevitable change and in the process they realizes also that their feelings for each other are more than friendly.
Japanese are experts in food themed movies and dramas and this one is no different. The love goes through the stomach, as one character points out! The movie is cute, sunny and cheerful. The small world the two have created barely accepts anyone's intrusion: real life is lurking and they are taking their time in letting it in. They eventually find a right balance for themselves as they currently are. What the future will bring is uncertain! I need to read the manga, I guess...
The huge problem I had with this movie is the character of Aki, the cook. He looks like the usual cute FL, screeching and finishing sentences with prolonged high tone wails: unbearable but so japanese manga !He is also very good at avoiding problems and difficult questions, lacking maturity though by the end he gets better. Still screeching but showing a sliver of maturity!
So basically this is a first half of a love story: the bromance part.

Heartfelting and Wholesome<3
THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZINGGG!! Made me be so indulged, cry so muchhh, and hooked on it to the very end and oh my did the actors do their parts and roles great. This movie makes you get so attached to the story and the characters in it and shows how life is more than you may take it for and there is so much more to come to you if you just live and don't ever give up and even if you feel like your at your all time low that there will be those that will stay by your side even if you feel like you have no one. Just know that yourself can be your biggest enemy in life but you got to fight through you tribulations you may go through if you just try and keep moving forward. So overall this movie shows how you may be in a rough patch and feel like your alone when there will be that 1 person there by your side to help you keep going without you even knowing and that you got to take time to realize your self worth because you are worth more than you think you are<33Was this review helpful to you?

Řeka, Kruhy pod očima, Rizi ... to jsou filmy režiséra, které jsem viděl (na Ai Qing se teprve chystám) a přesto, že většinou byly tyto snímky diváky odsouzeny, mě se líbily nejen proto, že jsou zcela jiné. Tak tomu bylo i u tohoto téměř revolučního projektu, který se natrvalo vepsal do dějin taiwanského filmu a kdy jsem gay tématiku vnímal zčásti jen proto, že jednu z postav hraje herec Lee, jinak je téměř nepostřehnutelná. Osobité, originální a dá se na to dívat i po tolika letech ...

S hrůzou jsem postupně zjišťoval, co za bizár a nechutnost dle mého vnímání erotiky tento film, který vznikl v době velkých změn ve střední a východní Evropě, je. Dodíval jsem se víceméně s odporem. A než abych film šmahem odsoudil za nejhorší hodnocení, a měl klid a čas, začal jsem hledat na netu, abych toto dílo lépe pochopil a PROČ to tak tvůrce natočil, jistě k tomu měl důvod a pronikl jsem více do tvorby japonského režiséra Sató, odvahy prezentovat erotiku mužů, co mají rádi muže ve filmu před více jak třemi dekádami. Více se dočtete na různých serverech, obsah na IMDb nebo MDL. Rozhodně nebudu snižovat hodnocení už jen proto, že se jedná o analogovou kopii tak max. třetí v pořadí.

Another film by director Sató, this time from 1987, was not as "suffering" for me as his later film Kurutta Butokai. And so I go against the flow and rate slightly better. Whether it's his sister or his stepmother (English subtitles are missing here and there at the beginning), in any case her partner raped the protagonist. Erotic scenes are very "hot" for their time, the story continues to develop, there are masks, boiling wax, pistols instead of dildos, etc., the detective is already in action. I did not know about this director and his prolific work of that time at all.
Další film režiséra Sató, tentokráte z roku 1987, nebyl pro mě až tak "útrpným" jako jeho pozdější film Kurutta Butokai. A tak jdu proti proudu a hodnotím mírně lépe. Ať je to jeho sestra a nebo nevlastní matka (na začátku sem tam chybí angl. titiulky), každpoádně její partner hlavního hrdinu znásilňoval. Erotické scény jsou velmi "žhavé" na svou dobu, příběh se dále vyvíjí, dochází na masky, vařící vosk, pistole místo dilda atd., to už je v akci i detektiv. Vůbec jsem o tomto režisérovi a jeho plodné tvorbě tehdejší doby nevěděl.
