Just Between Lovers

Main Characters Moon Soo (left) and Gang Doo 
Short summary of the series: Moon Soo and Gang Doo both experienced trauma from a Mall that crashed down onto them. Without knowing that they had the same experiences, they meet by chance and fall in love - both facing losses of their loved ones in the accident. 

I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers.

 This series was joyous in its best. K-dramas are know for their dramatic flair, however I thoroughly enjoyed it and binged every episode. It really has a wonderful charm of its own.

Ever had second-lead syndrome? It's when the second male lead is usually the person you root for. This was not the case, surprisingly. They displayed so much bonding and charm onto the main characters, you'd just wait until something happened between the two. It didn't even occur to me that the series was slow paced as they kept you anticipating for the next episode. 


 In all honesty I stopped watching by episode 13 (total of 16 episodes), because for me I felt quite satisfied and didn't want to move any further in the story. I knew they'd probably tie up all the loose ends in the last three episodes anyway and I enjoyed it enough.

 The story seems cliche, a girl falling for a scruffy and slovenly Gang Doo even when a rich, kind guy is into her. But what makes it unique is the bond between her and Gang Doo. It's heartwarming and refreshing and they wont give you what you'd expect. 

 One bad thing would be the constant flashbacks to the accident. You'd be reminded every episode about it and it made me feel like they were taking up screen time. 

 All in all, 8/10. It's extremely fluffy and cute and easy to binge.

Cry Me A Sad River (Movie)

Doesn't this look extremely dramatic? I absolutely love it. Short summary of the movie: A poor girl named Yi Yao is bullied to the extent where she cannot take it anymore.   I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. Yi Yao  This would definitely be on my top 10 list. I have rarely been on the edge of my seat for movies, but this movie did itself justice. It wasn't too depressing - there were moments of lightheartedness and warmth as well for a 'tragedy' genre  movie.  For the extremely soft-hearted it might be a tear-jerker but nothing came for me. What I will admit is that the movie made me experience many emotions and the beauty of it. You can feel and bond with the characters and what they endure. Bullying is a great way to show the seriousness of one's actions. Left to Right: Annoying bitch, even worse as...

12 Suicidal Teens

The 12 Suicidal Teens, numbered above Short summary of the movie: 12 teenagers assemble at an abandoned hospital to commit suicide together, but once they all come together at their curated location, they find that someone has been “murdered”. I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc; I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that  there might be spoilers. I haven’t been moved by movies for the past year, but this movie brought me back to expressing my passion and opinions. I love this movie. It’s quite good and the cinematography of the film is out of this world. I absolutely adored how stunning it was, reminding me well of the South Korean ‘The Handmaiden’ film. Their acting wasn’t all too good, quite cheesy in fact, but I looked over it for the story. The film in itself had a great plot which tried its best to not leave any holes and any questions unanswered. The planning that must have gotten into this sho...
