Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Was this review helpful to you?

Do you know the feeling when someone recommends a movie or book to you as something excellent that you are sure to like, and meanwhile you are bored throughout the "consumption" of this "outstanding" work? I had that while watching this film. The film was recommended to me as one of the best erotic thrillers of recent years, meanwhile I found nothing of thriller or erotica here.The film is aesthetically shot and the actors acted well, but that was the end of it. There was no tension building here, no involvement in the fate of the characters. It was as if it were a 19th-century story of a boarding school girl who had heard that there was a forbidden fruit somewhere, but had no idea where to look for what it looked like, let alone what it tasted like. The lesbian scenes were simply hilarious. The unexpected twists and turns had no suspense in them. Maybe my expectations were too high, but every time I recall a scene from this film, I snort with laughter or roll my eyes, and I guess that's not what an erotic thriller is about.

Just Your Typical Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla Movie
It is what it is... and well you get what you signed up for a bunch of cliches, a mediocre story but great chemistry an easy watch and puppy eyes.As the hows of us tell the story of the failed musician who may be good at writing lyrics and debating stuff but completely forgets how to use words when he actually needs them. And the women who tried so hard to make things work that she ended up completely exhausted, and without a diploma.
Though a bunch of flash backs here and there ewe get to see bickering, slight stalking, lovely umbrellas and the making of a disastrous relationship, it's good times, it's bad times all the way to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor Swift song not included). To wait will they get back together? or can they at leas be friends type of deal.
There is little to know consistency in this drama and the details are a bit off but when you are in the mood for a Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla movie with it's usual stuff this is a decent place to get it. As it is a movie you watch for those two and pretty much nothing else...

Different time loop, same heartbreak
This movie is a sequel in the sense that it uses characters that are already beloved — and for that I did love it. It was beautiful to see Huang Yu Xuan and Li Zi Wei fall in love again, and my heart broke again for the tragedies that they had to go through.This movie is not, however, really a "sequel" in the sense that the story from the drama is continuing; while the drama's occurrences are canon and ARE mentioned, I felt like it was almost negligible — it was treated more like a prologue, which was honestly kind of disappointing for me because I was hoping that the existing story from the drama and its loose ends would be addressed.
Instead, this movie seemed to introduce a whole new plot (a whole new time loop) — which was A LOT. I almost feel like this could've been an entire season 2 and we would've gotten much needed time with the plot and the characters who were now pretty different people from the ones we knew in the original series.
Nevertheless, as someone who absolutely loves the characters I still cried and laughed and felt butterflies along with them, and while the new plot was definitely just as mind-boggling and tear-inducing, there were just questions that I wish were answered, memories I wish were retrieved, and conversations and confrontations I wish they had.
One thing that this movie absolutely did right, however, is give Wang Quan Sheng his deserved backstory and screentime. WQS was a character that was painfully neglected in the drama despite having one of the most impactful stories, and he never had his story told until now. It was heart-wrenching and possibly one of my favorite parts of the entire film.
All-in-all, this movie just isn't what I expected and I wanted a teensy bit more from it. And yet...yes, I still cried throughout the entire thing. Yes, my brain hurts like hell trying to figure the timeline out. Yes, you should watch it.

This movie isn’t bad, but compared to the drama it’s really bad. But the acting was super good.

The story is so sad that I cried a lot even though it was hard for me to empathize with the characters because of the very poor acting. The film is missing some things that for me were a bit of an essential part of the drama. Like the reason why Hiro dyed his hair dark. Maybe it's not that important, but it's the part that has stuck in my memory for all these years.
Despite all my fondness for this story, I'm really disappointed with the execution. I managed to enjoy this movie only because of the good memories of the drama and the will to watch something that will definitely make me cry.
Sky of Love is one of those stories that made me cry the most.

Confidential Assignment 2: International
4 people found this review helpful
They raised the standard for this franchise
It's rare to see a sequel as good as the original. Confidential Assignment 2 was not only at par with the original, it surpassed it. This is more fun to watch. Have more action scenes. And, much solid plot. If they are going to release another sequel, they raised the standards too high with this release.What I miss with Western movies: a solid plot, a serious story, but still can make you laugh because the comedy parts were natural. Glad to see the Koreans are sticking to that formula instead of following the footsteps of Hollywood.
Well done, great acting from all the actors, the staff, the director, writer, and editing team.

How to die on a zombie apocalypse
READ THIS JUST IF YOU WATCHED THE MOVIE FIRST. THERE ARE SPOILERS... AHEAD.This is a complete and detailed tutorial on how to die while being chased by zombies.
I want to think this is a parody cause I can´t take it serious.
And just to be clear, there is not tag of comedy nor parody on the description.
The genres are "Horror, supernatural" and the tags are "Zombies, Suspense" currently to this date (16/01/2023).
So...
Welcome to the apocalypse.
Steps to follow.
0-Make sure you´re alive.
1-You MUST lack common sense.
2-First leave all doors open and give your back to them.
3-Lure the zombies and leave while they are still gathering so you will find some on your way.
4-Don´t go to the upper floor, there is safe come on, you need some adrenaline.
5-When you find a safe place make sure to take your time and be the hero so you can be fresh meet for them.
6-And last but not less important, when you finaly find your way out, leave it open so your friends can joing the world.
Be ready to die.
This movie has not budget and that´s for sure.
From second 1 it´s clear there was not a lot of money involved in the making of this movie, why?
Here is why:
-The makeup was horrible simple.
-The actor where the worst for this job (zombie actors I mean).
-The camera work was bad too.
This movie is comedy (a bad one) and the worst part is that I think it takes itself serious.

Director Statement
In high school, anything abnormal can be easily targeted for bullying. Especially opening LGBT individuals or groups will face social judgment from the surrounding. In this case, high school students don't have enough maturity to understand these people but instead act out to bully them for satisfaction. Even If is written to illustrate how social pressure on opening LGBTQ+ affects them deep inside physically and mentally. Words are like bullets, with all the bullying and sexual harassment of LGBT people can ruin their lives without no one responsible. Some people did not even have a problem with LGBT people but when it's become a trend or target, it is like entertainment to follow those actions, With limited time to build a relationship for the characters, the montage will be involved a lot to balance the reasons of situation and action of the story. The story includes a dramatic line and expressions, color and tone will be a major key to helping the visual get more emotional.Was this review helpful to you?
Average feel good friendship movie
This was a cute movie about 4 friends trying to find their way after graduating college. The story was okay but there were a few loose ends, no real depth and no real deep storyline. The characters were likable but none really stood out to me. I didn’t feel like I was very invested in any of their stories. Aside from a after credit clip… there was no real indication if his and why they became friends as they seemed to have come from varying backgrounds. I think it would have been a his idea to show a bit of their friendship prior to them graduating of how they became friends. We did geta glimpse into their lives and their struggles but the story didn’t take drive they much into hire they dealt with their struggles. If the point was to focus on the friendship and their individual struggles and stories was secondary… I think it did the job. overall, I think I enjoyed their friendship the most but overall it was just smh average feel good tour of friendship movie.Was this review helpful to you?
"I like this ending" - Bua
Diaw, a script writer who visits hospital for his mother, also had a deadline for a movie project, but he got writer's block, at least in the beginning; then a girl named Bua showed up and expressed interest in his script; then she read every story while they showed us the live action.I feel like each of these stories is like Diaw's progress in responding to this thing called a Happy Ending: as he didn't like happy ending, he thinks no one knows how someone's life will end and no one always get happy ending. Each time Bua finished reading the script, she came up with a comment, criticism, and piece of advice that somehow fit the state of the film at the time and actually helped the film to get better as the duration goes, and satisfying in the end.
The stories itself is typical Thai rom-com; it's funny, heartfelt, sad, and so on, but as I said earlier, two or three of the stories in the script are crappy because of how Diaw handles the ending, but the fourth, and his own, is good.
The other thing that makes me like this film is the cast. This film has so many familiar faces that have grown fondly on me, and as someone who hasn't watched Thai film/show lately, I'm so thrilled to see them, especially the Hormones The Series graduates and my baby, Mintira. I miss them so much.
I think that's all I want to type. Thanks.

"The moment you said you loved me, your love is over. The moment your love ends, my love begins."
In the first half, I thought that this was a murder mystery film mixed with a simple romance, but it turns out to be very intimate. As the film progresses, the second half of it becomes more like a romance wrapped in a murder mystery.I gotta say that I like this film, to see this film more as a romance film, how it gave me the feeling that I usually get from conventional romance films. My emotions are raging, and my chest tightens as I witness this love relationship that feels both wrong and cozy, wrapped in a murder mystery that somehow becomes the sentimental playground of this love story.
One of the things that makes this film good, IMO, is that it looks too beautiful, combined with the good performances of the actors, making this film even more charming.
Anyway, this film made me absolutely sad, it hurts my meow meow. The moment Hae-joon found the stock analyst's phone, can I put "if only" to what it brings to the story? Knowing there's a chance they'll get the ending I dream of, if they wait patiently. I'm weak for this.
Idk what to type anymore. That's all. Thanks.

"Na Bo-ra, JOAHANDA!!!"
It's cute, straight to the point and heartfelt.This Bora's love story, I either love it and hate it, love it for how this obviously gave me dokidoki feelings and I hate it in some parts where Bora tried to buried her feelings for the sake of friendship.
So, I just think this is well done, hit the right spots, enjoyable.
I never watch Kim Yoojung in K-drama but I've watched/finished a varshow called "Young Actor's Retreat" few weeks ago, I loved her there, so It's nice to see her here.
KIM YOOJUNG, SARANGHAE!!!

This film kinda reminds me to those people who taught me basic skill to live, it's useful. Still I kinda afraid when the time comes to take me to the next level of adulthood, take care of my very own taxes, bills, family, house, etc.
I finish this film with smile on my face, this is not heartache story like what I expected, but rather a heartwarming story of self-maturity.

In the end, I still enjoyed it and I love what I see in terms of visual aesthetic.
Do I need to read manga tho?
