this was so bad, it was good!!!
it was ridiculous - over the top crazy and yet so much fun!!! i enjoyed every minute of this crazy ride - and there a ton of character's to love, like Ozaki's subordinate's, the President who it totally extra and Tsuburaya's fan-boy. the friend and the crazy stalker, ironically weren't that funny just crazy.but i have to say for me the dude that kept stealing the spot-light was Ozaki - he was hilarious - donno him (the actor playing him) from Adam but he really took this character/plot and ran with it... he was everything fun and good - animated and wild - from one scene to the next, he dominated - even though donno if he will "land" the Seme position, given how hell bent Tsuburaya is to dominate his ass - literally lol - but this is hilarious and for sure a multiple rewtach...
btw i get this a whacky comedy, but Ozaki gets freakin stabbed by Tsuburaya's fan/stalker - Tsuburaya get's choked out by Ozaki infatuated friend and everything is just brushed off like meeh no big deal... get this is "out there" but still those were WTF moment's - that weren't as fun.
but other then that, this was really good - highly recommend for anyone looking for something light and fun that will keep a smile on ur face, cause of the absurdity u see - a while after the viewing.

An amazing film about self-determination
I watched this film twice, and both times have really left an impact on me at the end. For me it is an amazing story about self-determination and accepting ourselves.At the beginning it can be difficult to familiarize with the direction, which is a bit different from most typical dramas, but I really loved it. It really is one of the best direction that I have ever seen in a japanese drama.
The director also did a wonderful work into adapting the manga into the live action, and in my opinion in this movie the introspection of some characters (like Akane, for example) is better than in the manga itself. Nevertheless, some parts are explained a bit quickly, but I think it is due to the lack of usable screen time in the film.
The cast also does a very good job into representing the characters on screen. I absolutely recommend this film (despite the bad rating and reviews that it generally has on internet), and if you want to understand better the story I recommend reading the manga before watching the movie.

but what i loved more was the fact that he wasn't the typical ML - he didn't cater to his partner, just cause he was the Seme so he was supposed to let the uke use him as a psychological punching-bag to vent all the wrong's he has suffered up to this point in life. that not the type of relationship i like or am looking for in the romance genre (straight or gay) so loved that even if he was the pursuer and pushed and prodded Shima into admitting his attraction, let alone him being gay. he also made him confront his demon's and didn't go over board and left Shima to figure out what he wanted at the end.
personally i didn't like Onoda, yeah he had good intentions - but i felt that he was too intrusive in a relationship he had no part in. but that's the minus in getting involved in ur work-place, there no boundaries and everyone in the workplace makes it their business to keep updated in the couple life - so was kinda shocked that Shima having been burnt once, still couldn't distance himself from Togawa - but u can't help who u r attracted too so i didn't blame him. but it was plain to the eye to see and kinda funny.
really enjoyed this and really connected with the character's and this for sure a rewatch and happily recommend to all

What is actually happening?!
The story is good actually look strong but actually there's lot plot hole. The story go smooth but lot scene make a views must be wondering. At the last scene we don't know what happen to Eun Young as she left. Did she just run from home or try to attempt suicide. This part didn't clear and make me wonder what happen to her did police find her or not?!As the two woman want to go to the hospital with they car they nearly hit antler. And at the moment they realize what is actually happening that night. Hee joo's husband actually want to avoid antler from getting hit by car and did cross the another lane and at the opposite lane there's the car who are heading toward them. Hee Joo's husband hit Young Nam's husband car and accident, that's make Hee Joo's husband died at the scene. The culprit is antler actually.

aish - well redundant to point out, i didn't like this - and until the half way point i was bored or rather uninterested in everything going on - the mains didn't help me like this any better. get Tozaki is the sweet imbecile in love, or rather blinded by love (and he not that unique, a lot of people men and women alike - let themselves be used, abused and taken for granted cause their emotions r involved, and they can't seem to think straight). so yeah he was sweet, but the way he let Kurata treat him - all cause he was his first love - just frustrated me. seeing how at first Kurata treated him like a one-night-stand and then a booty-call, didn't help me like either character - especially when Tozaki always welcomed him with that stupid, innocent, expectant smile, i wanted to slap some sense into him. the point i really started liking and connecting with this movie, was when Tozaki lost it and point-blank asked Kurata what he considered him - that was a moment of growth - where Tozaki at last demanded some respect. he stopped being an enabler and forced Kurata to come clean...
the fact that little by little (throughout this movie) u get that Kurata was as infatuated with Tozaki, when they were teens - and they were each others first-love doesn't sweeten or justify Kurata treatment of Tozaki. and u didn't get any back-story as to why he was the way he was - just cause he didn't want to be "out and proud"?!? and his fits or rage where he almost raped Tozaki (twice) - cause he was jealous was ridiculous.. especially when we talking about grow-ass-men not teens with raging hormones. so enjoying or liking this is beyond me, and i didn't have any problem with their looks - but have a major problem with the character's personalities and the plot in general - this screamed more abuse then romance - so a one off

Unique style technique 2 solve an abduction case
An american remake -Investigative journalist, Dae-Ho, is searching for his son who was abducted three years ago. With the help of a detective and a psychiatrist friend, he retraces his memory of the incident through the use of lucid dreaming techniques.I was seriously entertained. The best thing about "Lucid Dream" is its lead actor Go's persuasive emotional performance as a father. The movie wins with thrilling twists .
VERDICT_ The way they present the concept of dreams is very simplistic and understandable. Fast paced screenplay is the major positive thing in the movie. And the investigation scenes are really nail biting.The way they portrayed the relationship between father and son is really impressive. The climax twist is decent.

TWISTY, SEMI-DARK - unfolds in a very mysterious way
Moments of eeriness, goriness and tension are brilliantly scored and backed by. Performances do stand out here by Kang Ha-Neul and especially Kim Mu-yeol, who takes the most amazing piece of the cake.Forgotten is that film that won’t be easily forgotten and even after the credits roll down, it will stay with you. It has its emotional share and mysterious thrilling part, combined well to land a good thriller on its proper runway. A good mysterious thriller with a pinch of emotional moments to fill your visual kitty.
VERDICT _ The mystery reveals that are enough to hook you around. Yes, the latter half or the third act of the film dips but still provides a fair share of curiosity and the answers to inquisitive questions built in the first half.To conclude, this is a film which succeeds in striking a near-perfect balance between both revelation and suspense.

If you don't cheat, life will cheat on you !!
Bad Genius turns out 2 be a simple story of student cheating - that will make you lose your breath. It’s also applauded for subtly tackling more serious topics like social class and Thai education.Bad Genius is a refreshing attempt at the heist genre that tackles one of the most mundane and boring tasks on planet Earth and makes a fantastically entertaining film out of it. I WOULD LIKE 2 APPLAUD THE WHOLE CAST 4 their impressive combination of elaborate visuals !!!
VERDICT_ Gave me an ADRENALINE-DRIVEN watch!!! A cleverly executed thriller that passes the test....TICK....The film flourishes through its simple narrative and taut editing.

Wattpad story as a film...
I honestly don't know what I was expecting from the synopsis given. I saw the trailer on iqiyi and thought it was going to be a steamy romantic love-hate relationship film and it simply didn't deliver. There were a lot of directional and script-writing decisions that were terrible and I felt bad for the cast to have to act them out. I have no idea if the main actors themselves are bad or if the script being bad made them seem terrible. The major issue is that the hate in love-hate is so overdone and aggressive that the female lead looks so dumb for still loving him. This is worsened by the fact that it's framed as sexy. It was not at all and I also blame the director for this. The director decided at some point that in every scene the male lead must corner, grab, and be five centimeters from the female lead's face in order for the scene to be interesting. However, when there's no sexual tension/chemistry between the leads and it's obvious they aren't going to kiss it's pointless and weird to do it so often. It is obviously done to make up for the lack of quality of the script and to keep viewers watching. I could go on and on which my issues with the plot but I think this is enough for anyone interested to get the jist. I wouldn't recommend this film, even if you're just looking for a quick something to watch. It was not good.Was this review helpful to you?

hmmm where to start - first off i don't get anyone giving this a 10 - like i Know "to each their own etc..." but the acting is bad - the plot - fine in general - but when u break it down, it doesn't flow.. "Ruiku, who plays piano with incredible passion but is cold and distant to everyone..." so why after the second or third time, he ready to teach Maki? that was out of nowhere and didn't go with the image of who this character was. but need to forward the plot, so lets just magically push things the way we want and need, and suddenly Ruiku not so focused on himself - he ready to be bighearted and share his knowledge?!? "OK".also really disliked Maki, he was a manwhore at the start and the only reason he got "infatuated" - or rather, interested in Ruiku was cause (1) he presented a challenge. (2) he was the first guy to flat-out turn him down. the "smitten " part started after Ruiku hurt himself - even after getting rejected, Maki wasn't "smitten" he was more fixated cause someone he was attracted too, rejected him. yeah he used the word "love" but there was no love as far as i could see -
the big sacrifice was disgusting, and i guess in some twisted way was proof of love - but i don't get why Ruiku couldn't think about how Maki got the postponement - when he couldn't, not without that sick condition.! he doesn't seem stupid (even though his attitude and behavior after breaking his wrist, was making me wonder). so why couldn't he figure that out all on his own, when that pervy sico told him "lend me ur body..." why he not connect the dots is beyond me -
also why he not mention it to Maki, when he told him he'd spoken to the teacher, that old-fart turned him down but was ready to reconsider if he lent him his body - guess he didn't want to face that sh*t?!? oh well
the rest is more evidence that Maki not only loved Ruiku unconditionally, but that he was willing to sacrifice for that love - but it also showed the dude finally matured - so i had no problem with the end. considering the acting, i really had enough and didn't need an additional scene of them reuniting. so a one off -

sugar sweet
this was the most endearing, heartwarming, wholesome BL i've seen in a while - from start to finish i couldn't stop smiling cause both the mains, r just adorable - even though Taiichi's dennis the menace personality was just enchanting, i couldn't get enough of him and i "got" why Sugihara fell, so hard and fast for him. doubt anyone could be unaffected by his charm - he was a ray of sunshine and not only cause of his sparkling personality and loud voice, but cause he was a man that stood up for what he though was right and good and he wasn't scared to (literally) fight what he though was wrong/bad. not a lot of people got a back-bone made out of steal, let alone those kind of morals and high standers...this was a joy to view and see how everything unfolded, i could feel when Sugihara's intrigue turned into wonder cause he was hooked and then he "ran/" cause he didn't want to be hated - not by the one person that brought some light into his dark isolated world.
the fact that Taiichi was as infatuated was all the more touching - even though he still couldn't comprehend what he felt was love and that same thing Sugihara has confessed to feeling - he just knew he cared for Sugihara and wanted to be in his life. if that's not a positive ending - idk what is.
and yeah there loads of serious issue's dealt with Sugihara hearing loss - which was getting worse as the time went by. his isolation and segregation by his peers. let alone Taiichi's back-story (which WTF is wrong with people that decide to bring a child into the world and then ditch him cause they want to move on with their lives?!? sorry but people like this need to be castrated, so they can't bring any more children into the world and toss them aside the sec they had enough) and that deep down even though he doesn't seem so, he is carrying a heavy burden - which ironically is also isolating him as he acts like everything couldn't be better, when he is really hurting. so them finding each other felt like kismet, cause they just "fit".
side note: idk where i've seen Tawada Hideya (playing Sugihara) but the dude is beautiful in this movie and was tempted more then once to stop the scene and just stare at his face, he so beautiful - and not even gonna mentioned when he smiled. so having gotten that off my chest - this was a gem - lovely and sweet in the most organic, soul cleansing way - wholeheartedly recommend and for sure a rewtach!!!

No redeeming characteristic
First. He’s physically, verbally and emotionally abusive. But he’s also dumb as a box of rocks,He can’t figure out that the love of his life (who he held captive) was switched when she gives him food he’s allergic too & doesn’t know anything that went on while she was held captive...by him. Like her trying to force him to walk
His assistant enables the abuse so he doesn’t get a pass.
I’ll Give her Stockholm syndrome as an excuse for falling for him (and not cause he bought her a few expensive dresses and hired Her a stylist). But if she loved him, why would you let him stay with an obvious nutcase who has already attempted two murders and then kidnapped her.
Why doesn’t she go to him and say “I’m the woman you love...ask her where she slept the first night” (answer: locked in a storage room cause she slapped him for being handsy)
Her stepmother sold her stole her salary and credit cards and then held her captive and tried to choke her on bread while force feeding her.
And her stepsister is insane. Thinking she could replace her cause her voice is same, People other than assistant saw her so anyone could say who is this woman where is your old servant/maid/companion/whoever she is. And the stylist would say why are you wearing her clothes?
It’s also confusing cause she wears the same clothes so it’s like everything happens in one day
If you think BOF’s kidnapping was romantic you might like this
