Final thoughts:
Ok I cant relate to the amount of miscommunication between the two but I'm happy they got together. At first I thought just like Hira, that the two are way too different but at the end comes out they arent and actually look like they fit each other well :) -

Final thoughts:
Completed this on Tuesday 3 days ago with a friend but we just couldn’t rate it right away.
This movie is obviously very well produced and acted but the plot of it was really hard to sit through for us... we didnt expect it go that deep into fetishes... and we surely disliked some of the scenes eventhough we admit they were well done (too realistic fot us tbh XD)
The plot twists were amazing though, we really loved it :Dbuddy watch with Luna

5. The Sweet Blood
Korean Drama - 2021, 15 episodes
Watched on: August 10 to August 15 I Platform: Plex.tv (@Mio Plex Server)
Final thoughts:
First I want to mention that I love stories with classic beautiful vampires.
I didnt expect anything from this web drama. It was poorly acted and filled with cliches BUT it had some unique and interesting detailes.
The vampire blood wine buiseness, the werewolfes working for the vatican acting as vampire police, the special people who achieved big things or have the potential to having special blood and having special ability to see into the future.
Thats all sounds like a nice premise and I would love to see a full drama or western tv show of this. But it was generally very hard for me to first take the vampires/werevolfes serious with their clown make up tbh. And the fighting scenes were emberassing too XD
Lastly I have to compliment the drama for not making definetly clear who the male lead is, whom she will chose from the very start. I was confused for a while and thrilled. Well but still it turns out I rooted for the second male lead at the end > < -
6. Yes or No
Thai Movie - 2010
Watched on: August 2 to August 4 I Platform: Plex.tv (@Mio Plex Server)
Final thoughts:
I found the couple not cute because Pie was selfish till the end. I was pitying Kim throughout the movie. And also the story was very typical and predictable.
First attempt on Girls Love :) -
7. Liverleaf
Japanese Movie - 2018
Watched on: August 1 I Platform: Plex.tv (@Mio Plex Server)
Final thoughts:
I liked the plot and the plot twists but I hated 50% of the movie that was gore. I wanted to see how my feelings are towards gore and yes as expected I hate it, don’t wanna watch something like that ever again. But the story was still good :) -
8. Ossan’s Love: LOVE or DEAD
Japanese Movie - 2019
Watched on: July 18 I Platform: Plex.tv (@Mio Plex Server)
Final thoughts:
This was funny but too little romance and too much drama :) and Maki was frustrating bc he just didn’t tell Haruta what’s going on with him. -
9. 100% Era
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
-
10. Ghost Lab
Thai Movie - 2021
Watched on: June 22 I Platform: Netflix (Ger)
Final thoughts:
Was alright. I expected more science fiction about ghosts but the portrayal of one of the doctors being obsessed about the experiment and losing himself was good too. But there was nothing new.
SPOILER
Best scene that made me scream was when Wee failed in killing himself and put the gun away but Kla suddently and quickly took it, said goodby, winked and killed himself. lol. I didnt expect that. -

Final thoughts:
SPOILER
The tension when Lynn run through the substation reciting and messaging the answers! I swear I thought it’s gonna take a dark turn and she gonna fall under the train. > < thank god the movie had a Happy End at least for her.

19. Color Rush
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Watch history: Jan 27 to Jan 28 I Platform: Viki.com (Ger)
OST: YT Playlist (2 Songs)
Final thoughts:
The story made me uncompfortable and the acting was not good at all, so stiff > <.
Their relationship is very toxic, they both have handicaps they must live with but being with each other makes it go away so they became obsessed and too depended on each other, always seeking a way to 'escape' the handicap. But they shouldve learned to live with it instead. As Yeon Woo said, the despair he felt when Yoo Han wasnt there led him to wanting to commit a crime and he needed to stay away from him. Why the hell did the drama make Yoo Han come to him when Yeon Woo litterly was in such despair, he attemted suicide?!
Like no, I didn't feel like Yoo Hans presence healed Yeon Woo, it fuled even more dependence. Like a drug. And should I believe their 'love'? No, its not love, its
Codependency!
Nothing cute about this couple. I'm disappointed -
20. Your Name Engraved Herein
Taiwanese Movie - 2020

Final thoughts:
The relationship development was very interesting and realistic but also sad. -
21. The Divine Fury
Korean Movie - 2019
Watched on: Jan 23 I Platform: Plex.tv (@Mio Server)
Final thoughts:
I liked th horror elements, was really scary sometimes, also the Senior Priest vs Junior Priest who doesn believe in god team work was cute. The villian was not that intersting. -
22. Apelul
Korean Movie - 2020
Watched on: January 16 I Platform: Netflix (Ger)
Final thoughts:
Frustrating female lead. Without her dumbness many of the tragic plot twists wouldn't have happened... -
23. Detention
Taiwanese Movie - 2019
Watched on Jan 6 I Platform: Plex.tv (@Mio Server)
Final thoughts:
I loved the sets but that’s about it. The story telling was all over the place. Confusing jumps from later pas to earlier past to dream world to more earlier past to I don’t even know where to again XD I mean the game is also made like this, you get into an area and explore it than to another solve a puzzle, get a note than go back to previous area that changed drastically but in makes sense in the game, not in the movie format. There is no flow in the movie.
The stereotypical jump scares were annoying. The game had none. The game made a creepy atmosphere wich the movie failed to do , they relied on jump scares in this case.
