This one very interesting concept of story, but unfortunately very bad execution. Very confusing between the cat and human. And the introduction also really really sucks & confusing.

Maybe gonna be better if they first show us our 3 main character as cat that suddenly become human when night come or they can only take human form in the bar or maybe you can put the cat ears above their head that no human can see, than like this. We can't quite catch the grip of them as cat, cause we never really saw them as cat. And I can't quite understand does any cat can take human form or just them and some cats...??

The summary told us: "After their "butler" gets hurt, 3 mysterious cats start running a bar to make a living." But in the drama we can't really see that money. How they give the money to their human or how they purchase everything with their money for examples....

The most interesting thing in this drama is only how cute & adorable they're act as cat....

Another good short drama

This drama fall into the good short drama. This has complete story, there're beginning, middle and end. The cast act is also quite good, they're not too lousy but sometimes also not the best. But at least not looked like work of the drama student.

But in the end this still the short drama. There're some aspect that feel rushed especially toward the end the more rushed it feel. Even though I quite like the chemistry between our main lead, but their feeling also feel a little bit rush, like suddenly they already falling in love with each other.

But overall this is one of the good short drama that worth your time to watch it....

This short drama fall under the messy plot of short drama. All happen so damn fast make it into funny & doesn't make sense plot. Like how they fall in love with each other, the true identity of Qiao Mai seems not important & the reason for the missing Gu Man Man also doesn't make sense.

Thank God this only the short drama. To make things even worse, the actor/ess acting also like student in the drama school. They can't make you believe what happen in the drama itself.

If you just want to spend your time watch something as a background this can be your choice. If not, just choose something else...

One love story that tell you when you know you know...

One love story that tell you when you know you know... Hyun Woo & Mi Soo from the first time we already know they will gonna end up together, just the matter of how & when, and themselves also know this as fact, of how attract them one and the other.

Very impressive how all the coincidental meeting & how they keep their feeling for each other after that many years... After that the love just that easily blossom just like they wait for so damn long time for this to happen...

But of course, not life if they don't give us surprise & problem.

Here comes the part that I'm not too like about this movie...
What is the hell of Hyun Woo's problem? we never really get the fully answer about his past. What is the reason he go to prison? Is the push is accidental or what the heck happen that day...? I don't know why the cut scene very explisit like that, they don't even show us the blood or the body at the ground.... And more over what about his friend...? Are they really bad or what...?

For me the lack of explanation is very ambiguous & not clear that make this movie ending with unclear tone...

Mature love story

Long time not watch one mature love story like this. Really happy can found & watch this drama.

What I really love about this drama is how our couple, Xu Qing You (QY) & Mo Ling Ze (LZ) handle jealousy problem. They didn't do emotional outbursts or childish act, just a little sulking that a little bit cute... & I also really love how easy they apologize if they have done something wrong to other person, no need to wait for the man to apologize first or give action.

I also really love how the relationship between Fang Qi (FQ) & Xu Wei (XW) develop. It's really not easy to break through brother - sister relationship between them. But of course a little attentive and sincerity never useless. And I also really love how XW really respected FQ as a human being, not only as a woman. His word that express FQ should become herself no need to pretend, even for the sake of his friend, is really something that we must give big applause.

With all the positive side of this drama, I still think this drama have something that not complete yet. I really want to know the relationship between QY & his dad. His story ended only with his mom suicide, what happen with his dad...? Why did he go to prison? What was his mistake...? Is his dad still alive...? See... so many question that have no answer....

Overall this one mature drama that you can't miss...

The best part of this drama or you can say actor & actress that have been work together is no more awkward moment between them. Hehe....

This drama is very simple & healthy relationships drama. Quite mature but still cute & adorable. Mature in the term Lu Zhao Xi (ZX) & Ye Shi Lan (SL) as a person & couple. No stupid misunderstanding or silly sulking from one part to tear them apart. Really like how ZX teasing SL, before or after they're become couple.

The only part that I don't too like maybe the last problem related to Gao Xuan's betrayal. The case a little bit confusing & the closing part, apart the result of the case, they tell us nothing about it, make me more unsatisfied.

Overall I watch this for Liang Jie & Joseph Zeng again as a couple & I got what I looked for. I really like the chemistry & interaction between them.

Just like the title

One of the worst short rom-com story you can find. The story as usual evolve around marriage contract. Huang Fu Hao in the need to stop one woman that keep plastering to him, find dimsel in distress that have crazy mom whose really want the daughter in relationship or marriage in their case later on.

But just the title itself love is weird, the story start weird, middle weird & until the end still weird. Haha... The love between our ML & FL start really abruptly & weird with no warning & ending with the kidnaping of our FL with the love rival or the crazy woman from the start. And suddenly there's also the woman's dad being arrested etc, that literally have no connection with the story itself. See the story start weird, middle weird & until the end still weird.

Just go watch something else....

At first I quite like this drama. So long not see the ML that flirting with our FL in historical drama. But due to one illogical plot I have to reduce the score.

What I like:
+ FL smart, brave, adorable sometimes. Well what not too like about this FL... Haha...
+ ML handsome, smart, not so cold & kinda flirty with our FL... Haha...
+ The chemistry between our lead couple. Even though it's not the best chemistry, but I can feel their feeling for each other.
+ How Pei Zhao / Prince Qi (PQ) respect Su Ci (SC) opinion & her job. PQ never use his position as a prince to make things easier for SC at her job. Even when she compete for her promotion, PQ only teach her & do his best to assist her in her lesson.
+ Adorable second couple. The stupid Xie Bei Ming & smart Dong Ru Shuang at the first look not so match, but in the end their the perfect fit for each other.
+ The unusual brotherhood of Prince Qi & Emperor. Usually brother of empire like to stab each other, but here see how trust emperor with his brother is really comforting.
+ The good choice that Xie Bei Ming (BM) pick. We can see the struggle BM when he has to choose between the right thing to do and his adopted father. Even though still he kinda stupid to try avoid everyone in the process....

The minus:
- Once more all the case kinda force to be there. To make this drama still about investigation upon all the story.

Ok the illogical plot that I meant. Don't read if you don't want to get spoiler
Maybe it's only me but I really feel this kinda strange. The incident where SC try to stab PQ. She said it's because she recognize his voice as the mastermind behind the massacre of her family, but hello... Aren't you supposed already know PQ voice from the beginning.... How can you just identify him as the murderer now.... For me it's doesn't make sense, because for me his voice is no different from the beginning. And that whole 'incident' or story just for they can make the thing happen later kinda make sense or feel more tense....

Overall this quite good story for you to watch.

Interested to watch this from YT clip. Turned out quite funny, but not as funny as I thought it will be. And you can say quite meaningful.

Teenage years the rebelion phase. Very funny how the mother get 'revenge' by her own 'rebelion way'. Given her daughter lesson while still show the mother love is just something mother do... And the bento is really pretty to looked at & learn to...

Unfortunately the new story that come later kinda ruin the whole story for me. The story about father & son, it's like they abruptly just stop the storyline. Or the later story about the daughter find job in the different city, is kinda unmatched with the whole storyline.

But overall this one good story to watch. Maybe better if they became drama, so some story can unravel more...

Just leave ur prejudice before watch this

Watch this due to watch YT short clip. At first not planned to watch this drama this fast, but that short clip really intrigued me. And I'm not disappointed watching this. Haha...

Ok. Just like I said just leave ur prejudice before watch this. I mean leave what you know about harem or Palace drama. Because this drama nothing like that & really gonna overturned what you expect about harem or Palace drama.

What I like / different about this drama:
+ All the sisterhood. Nobody really anybody enemy in this harem. All the woman are in the end friend and helper of each other. Especially in 3rd prince house is really funny & unique, how all the woman become friend instead backstabbing each other just to get prince attention.
+ All the brotherhood between the prince. Well so glad finally to see the real brotherhood between the prince for once. Where the prince live like a real brother & have support one each other, then just see they purely just rivalry and scheming between the prince for get power.
+ The feminism. How the woman try to change century prejudice or rule about woman. Like woman supposed to be at home only looking after their house, but here Li Wei (LW) build business instead.
+ Talk about depression after childbirth. Very sensitive issue to touch here, but they pulled it.
+ The couple. I really like how every couple’s relationship is developed & not only focus to our main couple (LW & Yin Zheng [YZ]). Especially I really like how Shang Guan Jing & Yin Qi relationship develop.
+ The beautiful introduction about all the other district. They not only talk about what special about that district but also about martial status in some district. Like how ji chuan is monogamy, xin chuan like every kingdom (poligamy with many wives) and dan chuan dominated by woman.
+ The most weird thing is the king is not called by name king or Emperor but just lord. So unusual...

What feel like force / minus in the drama
- Yuan Ying really fit the role of legal wife of the prince that in the end really fit for the role of Empress/Queen. But because of our FL, LW, the real/true love of YZ, of course she must move aside. And her obsessions with becoming minister is really just doesn't make sense.
- The crazy part when LW about to become legal wife from just consort. All the action is just doesn't make sense. Like they already do the first night, yet YZ still try to get LW's dad approval & to do all the procedure to do marriage ceremony in the 'right' way. Yeah maybe some of you will think that what YZ did looked like oh so sweet, but for me it just like wasting duration. They should be able to wrap sooner.
- Too many episode. For me everything that comes after YZ appointed as the crown prince is a little bit just wasting duration. It's like they need some more story just to make the episode into 40 ep long.

Really funny actually, before I watched AvenueX on YouTube, I've never really think about this. But what she said that true for me:
- all too easy for our ML. Our ML, Yin Zheng (YZ), got it so easy. It's like everything settle for him without he really need to do much. Like when LW struggle with her restaurant, we see YZ not really do much for her, LW rely more on her sister (all the princes wife) & herself then hoping that YZ will do something for her.
- All the problem so easy to solved & all the bad person so easy to change their mind & attitude. Like Yin Jun / 4th Prince so easy to change his attitude after his father scold him.

Overall this really unique historical drama that worth your time to watch it...

stupid but cute

Really interested to watch this for see the chemistry between Vin Zhang & Yu Shu Xin. The plot itself kinda stupid in some part, but overall drama still consider cute for me. So yeah I succeed watch till the end and you can say I quite like it... Haha.....

The stupidity:
- The way Jin Xi (JX) fall in love to Li Tian Tian (TT) is one of the most stupid way to fall in love in drama world. Just because TT give umbrella to him when it's raining he instantly falling in love with her.
- How the man (JX & Zhuang Yu [ZY]) never really learn from their previous mistake. Like JX that lying to TT about his leg...
- The one year break for both man (JX & ZY). Whatever the reason the drama give us, the one year break is just stupid.
- The easy forgiveness the woman (Yu Mei Ren[MR] & TT) give to the man (JX & ZY). Especially TT give to JX. Just because of his leg, after that lie & the one year disappearing. Too easy baby....
- All the flirt that MR did. It's like MR did have the score, it's gonna be more interested if we can see MR like did the scoring or whatever. But the trick like ZY said, later on, useless since he already use it on MR too... Haha...
- All the 'cuteness' that MR show in the drama. Like when she kinda force the cuteness. Like when she left alone in the library.
- The stupid concept of make up. MR things she completely different without make up. Hey you're not in the superman movie, where Clark Ken took off his glasses & become superman he is unreckoned by anyone else.

What I like or consider cute:
+ The positive attitude of the woman (MR & TT). Like TT said about MR being the FL, "It's because you're able to reflect on yourself. Most people in the world would like to take the credit for themselves when succeeded, but blame others when they fail. You'll dread when you succeed, while reflecting on urself when u fail. That's why you are the leading role."
+ The cuteness is stupid, but still cute in some scene. Like when MR pretend to be village witch or what (the one she use basket in her head). It's somehow cute.
+ ZY just so cute... From the first we can see how jealousy he is. But it took him a whole year to realize his own feeling. And after that his attitude toward MR just so cute & protective. I like it... Haha...
+ The chemistry between Vin Zhang & Yu Shu Xin not so disappointed. I really like their interaction.
+ The little cut scene at the end of each episode...

Overall: This one cute little drama to watch.

Watch this of course for my 2022 ALPHABET DRAMA/MOVIE CHALLENGE.

At first this movie kinda dull/bored. But toward the end get more and more fun to watch.

This movie told story about how the world so faked. Like how they manipulated the result of award. That's why when Kiichiro Ota show up with all his genuinity/integrity people got so hooked by him & that's why he can make a different and people still willing to hear him.

Overall this one good movie for you to watch. But yeah it's japan, so a little bit hard to find. Just try all piracy web that you know. Haha...

making architecture interesting

Watch this for my MDL Watch Challenge 2022, documentary section. I think one of the most interesting title among all the usual documentary genre selection that I read, that's why I choose this drama. Thanx God even though this j-drama I can find it with eng sub.

This drama/documentary about architecture even for me who doesn't really like architects interested. They, like TPT38 wrote, shoot from the point of view someone talking about about their hobby with their friend. So they have very relax atmosphere & the detail about architecture also interesting to see...

And don't forget however this still about drama. So of course they still make sure it's not only about architecture. But also about drama of the character life. How Haruno Fuji have to make decision about her life and the suggestion that Uekusa Chiaki give sometimes we can adapt to our own life too...

And lastly, the food also really interested. Like how they combine the food with the architecture that they just visit. Really make me want to visit all the place listed here when I visit Japan....

one confusing short drama

Watch this for my 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. Expect nothing much but good comedy and decent plot. But unfortunately even I only expect that 2 from this drama, still it can't deliver.

Fair warning... I will gonna complain a lot & give a full blown about the plot. If you don't want to know just skip my review then...

*************************************************************************************************************************







What a confusing plot. At first episode we already face with the statement: "I'm Liang Wei Wei, without reason I'm becoming a queen in costume drama." And the next scene come the consort & she make love with our king & murderer happen the next day.... HELLO.... What the hell happen? Who is Liang Wei Wei (WW)? We get a glimpse that she maybe comes from the future through phone. But where the hell is our explanation? And WW herself not even confuse with the whole thing that happen, she knows that even she died she will in the loop where the day will gonna repeat itself...? HOW.....?!

And the end also What The Hell....????!!! What happen with the glitch that happen to our king...? And the final where she get out from the 'drama' how the hell she know....

Don't make me even start with the uncle. Is he bad...? Did he really do everything for our king...? Or maybe he himself that really want to rebelled....?

UGH... What a really confusing plot.

But how ever I really like our king in the end. How he fall in love with WW, gain trust of her. & their chemistry quite good.

If only this drama have more decent plot of how WW got into the drama I really gonna give quite high rating, because yeah like Archem099 wrote everything quite there. The romance, the story, the politics. Really unfortunate it has very very confusing plot that explained nothing....

Watch the trailer in YT but forget about it & don't know the title, finally found it when searching for movie that I want to watch.

Really like the brotherhood between Sky Ko & Paul Ahn. From the trailer itself I can sense they never really fight with the grudge between each other. But only healthy competition between them.

But this movie have some loopholes that not quite make sense, maybe because this just movie so they have shorter duration to explained all:
- The betrayal of Mayo. Not enough explanation through the movie. Where's the ambition comes from, so sudden.
- And although I really like the end where Sky Ko just walk out the stage. But the end just like leaving some more question than answer.
- The stupid owner of stellar restaurant. Just complete jerk & out of place.

Overall this is one good movie about healthy competition & brotherhood. Really hope this can make into drama, so we can get more elaborate about some of the things...
