Don't think about it too much, just watch it!

"The lady improper" is about the reality of married life and the psychological problems of the woman who is afraid of sexual contact. Because of that, her husband decided to divorce, so the main character Siu Man is trying to do her best not to lose her husband. But everything goes bad and her life is getting harder.
After divorce, Siu Man is in charge of her father's restaurant where she meets firstly a stranger but then he gets a very close person to her.

I'll try not to make any spoilers here, so if anyone needs recommendations for this movie I'll write my opinion about it.
Firstly, the movie is really important and shows us how hard can be relationships between a man and a woman who aren't personally close to each other, can't understand their feelings, and the cause of the divorce frequently is the facts that I already mentioned. The film director wants to show us what kind of significance has the sexual connection between married people. I think this is one of the most bearing things.
Secondly, what kind of interrelation should a man show a woman to make her trust in him and help her not to accompany fears and get her psychological state get better. There appears a man called Chia Hao who is carefully trying to become good with Siu Man. He knew she is mean and endeavors to get closer.
I think Chia Hao is one of the best characters in the movies that I ever saw. He is tenderhearted and respectful to all the emotions that Siu Man incurs. In my opinion, this is the real kind of good dependence that man can show woman. For her own, Siu Man gets addicted to good behavior and tries to put up with this kind of novelty in her life.

Finally, I think this movie is efficient to watch and I recommend it to you.

The story became somewhat predictable, where people meet, get stuck together due to unfortunate circumstances, then eventually fall for one another. All the guy had to do was call his mom, and the whole story would've been different. The plot/basis of the story is similar to other works that have been done before, so it lacks originality.

Compared to the dramas and their length, theres not enough time for character development.

Its a nice movie to watch, personally I prefer to see Dilraba's work in dramas where she can develop her character and shine.

This movie made my so gosh damn disgusted that I couldn't even finish it. The moment he saw her and had that "look", I just knew it was about to be hell. I don't know what I was expecting, but it sure in hell wasn't THAT.

I literally feel sick to my stomach even writing this and remembering the parts I did watch. How. Literally how do you smile in a woman's face knowing you are fucking her husband? How do you look your husband in the face? How in the HELL do you go all out for another woman while trying for a baby with your wife? How do you keep living life like nothing is wrong when you are sleeping with another woman? I don't fucking understand cheating. It pisses me off to no ends. If you are THAT unhappy, then leave! Why in the hell do you get to ruin not just your life or the one you're cheating with, why must you ruin your S/O's life and make them miserable? Cheaters are fucking mental. I said what I said.

My heart breaks for his wife. Knowing she was doing all she could as a wife and doing all she could to have a baby. I'm angry FOR her.

Mind you, I'm speaking of the characters here. Not the actors. If a actor makes you love/hate/whatever then that just means they're doing an amazing job. So huge props to the actors. It's why they're the only things rated a 10.

But damn I couldn't even get into the actual storyline because the affair crap just chapped my ass and kept me beyond pissed off. I wanted to put my foot through the screen. lol

Another good short from Strongberry

Strongberry short films are always worth watching, they generally have great casts and good stories that fit well within the sort film format.

This cast is good, and the story is interesting. I think the only weakness is that the way the scenes are shot, it's not always really clear what is happening, not with the major storyline but with the details that surround it.

But even still it's definitely worth watching. The actors are very cute and the scenes between Hajun and the spirit run from poignant to steamy. It is available on GaGaOOLaLa.

This movie was so short but full of so much promise!
It started off kind of dodgy though and the talk of the mom's chest kinds... I have no words for that. That was just weird and, bruh... why? Just why put that in there. Lol
other that that, the storyline was so sweet and I would really love to see this be turned into a series or longer movie! But hopefully without the musical numbers. Those were so cringey. Lol I'm sorry.

I really want to know the end of this. I feel like it ended on a cliffhanger. I know it didn't and I know it ended happy but I want to know how the mom reacted. I want to know about the other mom. Did she come to terms and everyone be fine? Did they part ways? I just have a lot of questions. Lol
It's weird. Usually when movies/shows end with a lot of questions and awkward moments, I tend to not like it... but their chemistry was just so cute together!

Great movie ❤

This is a great movie. Casts did an amazing job. I highly recommend this movie. Initially, I watched this because of Son Ye-Jin, she is a very versatile actress. I have seen her in Crash Landing on You , The Last Princess, etc. I am glad I decided to watch this, the story is just beautiful.

Then after watching So Ji-Sub, I consider a great actor, great chemistry. The casts in this movie are great, they made it so enjoyable and at the same time, cry ( a lot).

Kudos to Kim Ji-Hwan, good actor too. This kid made me cry. Worth watching. Loved it!

Better than 95% of Japanese movie/drama's I saw

This show was better than i expected, I've seen my fair share of Japanese movies and drama's and this one apart from the typical anime type acting, the story, romance, kisses they were all executed very nicely. I actually was expected something else but it ended wayyyy better than I thought.

I am very impressed with the ML acting tbh, he was very convincing in his role, and you can see how genuine he was towards the FL. I could tell he just loved that girl and the way he cried whenever he shared his emotional thoughts was also very beautiful as well.

The romance for this show did not feel forced as well, I loved the way it happened, I loved the way how they seem to care for each other, an love each other. Truly one of the best Japanese romance movie/drama I ever saw, even though it was a movie I personally didn't feel like I was missing something, very content.

I honestly could not even force myself to finish this. by 20 minutes, I was jump skipping and a hour in, I had to cut it off completely.
This movie screams "made by a 12 year old". I have seen some pretty terrible movies in my life but I think this one might take the cake.
From teachers witnessing students trying to kill other students and not care, from "selling yourself" to pedos. Who the fuck came up with this? If you make a game your whole personality -- you need help.
There was nothing and I mean NOTHING good about this movie. The terrible acting. The terrible storyline.
It's like IMVU on crack. Bro, it's not that deep and those that played it sure in hell weren't out killing people or ruining people's lives.
They're all supposed to be in school. 15. They are 15 and put cults to shame. I regret ever trying to even watch this. The only thing that just keeps looping in my brain is WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!
It's irritating and a waste of time. Not creepy. Not horror. Not thriller. Just a bunch of ill teenagers pressed over a game.

Ooooh, this one was good. Again, very serious compared to the first movie but also so very intense! And they pretty much turned Kenshin into minced meat, the poor thing!

I think the most intense scene was Kenshin's execution on the beach. It was so well done. The set-up, the close-ups of Kenhshin's face and then the twist at the end!

The most touching moment came at the end, when Kenshin was so very badly hurt and Sanosuke had to drag him off the ship, covering Kenshin's head while everything around them was burning and going off. Sanosuke is so loyal to Kenshin, such a good friend.

And Kenshin's old master! He would sure win the tsundere award of the year. Seijuro would rather bite his tongue off than admit that he loved Kenshin like a son. Idiot, she said fondly.

A Touching Story of a Unique man.

A beautiful real-life story of a man who lived his life to the fullest despite all obstacles. It will make you feel good, it may even make you want to be a better person. I was pulled into the story, and it felt like an honor watching it.

Both Hwang Jung Min and Jun Ji Hyun were outstanding in this drama. I’m always amazed watching the growth of Ji Hyun as she demonstrates , once again, her ability as an actress. I am on a movie marathon of Ji Hyun movies and this one didn’t disappoint me. She plays a woman following and recording the story of a unique man in the final year of his life. A simple plot for a touching story that has to be done with respect. It’s well worth your time to give this a watch.

A sweet, slice of life high school story

Overall: a nice, short (35min) realistic movie about two high schoolers, one of whom is trying to figure out who he is and what he wants

Content Warning: homophobia (mainly from 1 teacher, bleh)

What I Liked
- the theme of being true to yourself and pursuing your dreams
- a confident, out gay guy (and his friends were fine with his sexual orientation)
- the pairing of a goofy extrovert and a quiet introvert (this reminds me of MODC)
- how both apologize for pushing each other (both physically and mentally)

Room For Improvement
- no sense of how much time passed when they were getting to know each other or after the incident
- the night scenes are too dark and need a bit more lighting
- the two female students were intrusive and were not being as supportive as they thought
- the female teacher telling him not to pursue art and then being terrible at classroom management
- the male teacher for being homophobic (slight redemption after the incident)
- the ending was fine, but it would have been nice to have a super short scene (or even pics) during/after the credits with them meeting up later
- having both small hard coded and soft coded English subs, they were actually a bit different but I couldn't tell which was better (watched on gagaoolala)

Underrated

Such an underrated movie for me. The rating should be higher. There's many lessons that can be taken from this movie.

Story :
I'm getting emotional when watching this movie. Usually this kind of story will be having a tragic ending. But I'm glad it doesn't have it. Thank you writer-nim. ^^

Acting/Casting :
The casting was pretty good. It match with the character. And I haven't complain about their acting.

Music :
Soundtrack at the ending was good.

Overall 8.9/10 :)

Everyone's love story

By the end of the movie, I was with a heavy heart. This was a story beautifully written, acted, and directed. It detailed the phases of a relationship that a couple goes through. A few fortunate couples make it to the end of the road, but majority of them like Mugi and Kinu do not. There are many reasons why couples break up. At the end of the day, a person chooses his or her own path that leads him/her to happiness. Mugi and Kinu's love was not any less than those couples that did make it through. They ultimately broke up because they have chosen to live a life they thought they deserved.

And it was not easy to forget that kind of love. After all, theirs was so intense, not to mention the 5 years they have spent together.

I find myself relating to both of them. And from time to time, I also think of my ex and the "what could have been'. But that's just a passing thought. After a minute, I'll forget all about it and move on with my life.

Life is like this. Love more so. You have to fight really hard to keep your love.

Kudos to our two main leads for portraying Mugi and Kinu so realistically. I said it before. This was a story beautifully written, acted, and directed. However, I will not watch this a second time.

Tickled Happy!

This isn't a cinematic masterpiece.
Nor is it complicated or intricate in anyway.
However...this is EXACTLY the kind of video we all needed during these unprecedented times.

Rather than recreating the original film, this spin off was short&sweet, heartwarming and sure to put a smile on anyone's face (regardless of if you were a fan of the original or not!)
The closing credits were a lovely bonus too.
It creates a sense of closeness during times when we are feeling distanced.
I come back to watch this whenever I want a little chuckle. And it never fails to make me feel more positive.

This one felt much more serious than the first movie. There was still a little humor here and there but it felt like the stakes were higher so it couldn't be funnier because then it would feel like a parody so...

I loved Kenshin's relationship with his found family at the martial arts school, especially with Sanosuke. When Sanosuke punched Kenshin after finally catching up with him in Kyoto because he was so worried when Kenshin just took off to, basically, get himself killed! Sanosuke was so pissed at him.

The action in this movie was so very, very good again. And the music! I don't think I've mentioned the score before but, boy, the OST is just top notch, so much so that it gives me goosebumps!

And the cliffhanger! Gosh, I'm so glad that I have the next movie in the franchise handy or I would be very, very... miffed, to say the least.

Also, I just really noticed it in this movie but Satoh Takeru as Kenshin looks so... tiny and slight next to every other guy in it because they're all pumped up giants and he's, well, he's not. It's cute!
