This is a sweet, adorable, warm Chinese remake of Thai’s hit film, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. The story is same with the film itself, although with subtle changes and more depth. Despite the clicheness, the storyline itself will make you laugh hard, cry wholly, feel butterflies in your stomach, scream so high (which I did), and lastly, get nostalgic.

The SL and FML really got my attention when I saw the former episodes. They had this oozing chemistry, and I feel bad (not) for shipping them rather than the actual love teams. Although, the leads' chemistry is cute cute cute! There are times when I feel like that the FML is not innocent however insensitive, although her development is good. I liked their character development (especially to SL's).

The music is really giving the LSS vibes. It's kind of redundant in the drama, but I don't really care because it somehow suits the scene.

Give it a try, especially when you’re watching angst films/dramas. It might help soothe your heart~ :D

Career or us? A story about taking risks whether to choose their love for each other or their careers. An imperfectly perfect story about lovers.

The story focuses on the main characters. I love how the silent smiles and stares when they're together, makes me want to get my own boyfie and cuddle with him forever.

Although, I felt something is missing because it had a fast opening. I understand since it is a movie. Very simple but it has a lot of message about relationships. Cinematography was on point. Music is very relaxing. Characters are way too golden. I enjoyed it.

So far, this is the best JaDine movie. I'm looking forward for more~

I suggest to watch this during a cold rainy night and chilling with your puppy. It moved me to tears so bring tissues too!

This is a Japanese sports and slice of life movie adaptation from a manga, which also has the same title. I was quite surprised when I saw the ratings are really low. But for me, this is good!

The story revolves around a girl who is very shy and wants to improve. Thus, she joins the club. It's a fresh story about friendship and the struggles they faced while playing Naginata. Although I think they should've added more scenes? There are inspiring scenes that made me plant my own seed and nourished them. The actresses are from an idol group, Nogizaka46. And I think they did a pretty good job.

I might re-watch this on my spare time! This is really a good watch. The cinematography is well-done, I liked it. I suggest you to watch this if you loved Chihayafuru! Though it may not pass the standards of the said movie, this is still good.

At first, I was really hesitant to watch this because it doesn't have much viewers. But as I go watch it, it was really good. A touch of mystery and wit in one drama.

The story is all about the guy can predict your death with the help of mathematical equations in which I don't get because I'm not as genius as he is. It was kind of hard to understand the plot. But still, I binge-watch it. Also, the number of episodes... such a shame because I hope they did make more episodes. It was enthralling every episode you watch but... there were some holes they forgot to put some cover.

The acting is superb! I really liked the leads. The heroine is funny and she is friends with the guy for like... ever since they were young. The guy, a cutie but he's all-alone and his only friend is the girl. His face is still handsome even though he has a scar. I really liked their scenes together. They're the opposites-attract-tandem. The butler too is very funny, and I wanted more scenes of him.

(I really thought when I haven't watched this yet, he is dead after leaving a mark on his face. LOL!)

It needs a season two. Though, I'm fine with the ending... it's just that I felt it's rushed and all. Still, it's a good drama. It's not really a deep mystery but it will be worth it for a long weekend.

Edit: It has season two!

This drama caught my interest with its sports genre. I recently learned how to skate which is somewhat related to the drama itself.

The plot was wise. Cinematography was a bop. There were some draggy parts but so far so good.

It does not only tackle about the relationship of the leads, but the character's growth as a friend, lover, child, and an athlete.

One thing I loved about it was the character's development, especially the leads. Them realizing their mistakes, pursuing what they love to do the most. And also, I liked how they build their names in the industry not only as this person's gf/bf.

The music was okayish. And I loved the song that Master Tang sang during the competition. Oh, the ending song too!

This drama is one of the dramas I am currently watching while it's still airing. I must say this is best to watch most especially after an angst drama or a long tiring day.

Omukae Death is a good time-killer drama. Who would've imagine a grim reaper wearing a bunny mascot rather than capes (or fedora hat, even)?

Along with propelling words they say to the souls, I am deeply moved too. I teared up on the teacher and student scene. I obviously liked the part-timers who tried their very best to comfort these souls... even though they're fighting like a cat-dog duo.

A sugar of fluff romance and a spice of suspense were in sync, don't forget the nice of laughter! Actors really did a good job on their roles.

Overall, a good watch! It needs more recognition. However, if you're planning to watch for romance, let me tell you... they don't have that lovers' chemistry.

This is the second installment of Zhen Hua Trilogy. If you haven't watched With You yet but you are planning to watch this, you can. There's no need whether to watch either first.

The story itself tells a lot about struggles of teens, friendship, family, and love. All in all, the reality of life. I can somehow relate on some of the characters because I experienced the same, which is nostalgic. The story does not only revolve on the main leads. They also showed the supporting roles' lives and I somehow liked it, because in this drama, everyone is the main lead.

The casts are so beautiful. It's so good that they didn't replace casts, they just added new ones. They made me cry and laugh tons. The leads' chemistry is just SO GOOD. They're being sweet without pulling off so much romantic gestures. Also the supporting roles~

The music feels very nostalgic as I play it again and again at home. It not only reminds me of the drama but also about my friends and my childhood. It's really nice to reminisce.

For me, I am definitely going to re-watch this again with my mom. It's just super good and it doesn't have that much angst unlike other dramas. I fell in love with everything in this drama. Definitely a must-watch!

This is only MY OPINION, it is still up to you if you want to watch it or not.

Story of best-friends travelling around Asia due to some conflict. Palm, as a best friend, is always there to help. In short, he's only one call away.

Story revolves on both leads as Palm narrates the highlights of the movie. I admit there were some funny scenes and the chemistry was on point. Yet, I needed more. Some dialogues were lacking power.

The characters executed their roles. Yet I was regretful with some of the character's part, they deserve to be written well. One of them was the second lead. Palm's character was amazing. I liked it. Gink was oh-well... okay.

Music was oh-so okay and I really liked when Palm made a new lyrics when Gink was feeling bad.

Is the movie worth the time? I think. But please don't expect much.

Watching it in 2x speed makes it more bearable

Derailment has a promising start. It would make you question everything and keep you on the edge of your seat. However, they put too much focus on insignificant things that got draggy in the end. The sci-fi genre was just sitting there, waiting for a trigger to be pulled. The romance built tension and chemistry, only to not skyrocket. Basically the show focused on character and personal development of the female lead than the actual plot itself. There were arcs that could've been made shorter or removed. Too much flashbacks are not helping in building the drama because it just drags out. In the end, we get a 'that was it?' moment. Because it didn't really pan out the way it could've been.

The actors have great chemistry, but with the draggy scenes, the chemistry was not put to good use. Music was okay. Repetitive at times.

The show would be much better if they had only alotted 24 episodes for this. It lessens the drag and the sci-fi would be focused more.

When Vice Ganda leads the role, expect to cry with laughter... but today, I cried out of boredom.

Every Filipino family enjoys watching the star, Vice Ganda's films at the cinema during the Christmas season. The room is bursting out with laughter, leaving a well-deserved enjoyment. The recent film attempted to be a successful comeback for the celebrity, however, it did not even hop as one of her best filmographies.

Story-wise the main plot revolves around friendship, family, and crime. The film started strong and pretty decent not until it reached the halfway mark wherein it may have forgotten what the plot is. Physical comedy is evident, and this is the usual comedy we see in her films. But today, it did not trigger my funny bone. It just pained me. The addition of crime makes the story less cliche but still, predictable.

On the other hand, cannot deny that the actors succeeded in creating chemistry; there is not a single time they have acted awkwardly. However, their character felt like they had no development. Shoutout to the supporting actors, they definitely hard carried. #BeksSquad

Good but not enjoyable. Watch this if you want to kill time.

It's really wild how CGM manages to execute a film with a cliched plot into something magical

On a random afternoon, I decided to watch this film without expecting much. Just for kilig (an expression of squealing with joy). And what I did not expect is that.... I'll like it.

With the famous 'star magic formula', the story revolves around teenagers' lives with how they consume social media. Of course, romance is inevitable. Although the social media context is a bit draggy, I could say that there are a lot of life lessons in this film: how social media could manipulate you, and what you could do for clout. I even thought this would just be romance-centric. There is an observation of family drama, too. The mother-daughter relationship dynamic got me crying.

How the casts managed to pull off their chemistry is really great. They never acted like they were neophytes. Especially the main leads. Agot Isidro is exceptional as always.

The soundtrack was alright. Considering some films would just add songs to fill the ~vibes~ in the scene, Love on First Stream has the exact music that would fit the scenario. But it did not give me the LSS.

Overall, it is a nice watch thanks to the actors' gold acting. If you want to watch a plot that is not really too heavy or disturbing, this is your sign to start the film.

This is your not-so-ordinary medical Korean drama. To be honest, I like this kind of medical drama more than those with surgeries and stuff. I'm afraid with blood and the like ;c

The story, as I've said, is different from the typical medical ones. There's actually no plot from my observation and it's just about the lives of the doctors and what they do in the hospital. They also added some poems in which I live for. I like that they don't just focus on the main character but also the side characters. They opened up problems but they were unable to close some. which I really want to know what happened to this and that... but it's okay I'll make my own scenario. (LOL). The romance is very slow which I like, though.

As for the characters, I loved the tandem of baby Joo Young and Dae Bang Dae Bang. But I didn't quite like the attitude and their development.... it was very slow, but I understand. No plant will eventually become a tree. It takes time to grow. :)

The music perfectly matches up the drama. I love it.

As for the re-watch value... It's a light drama and it's really fun to watch. I recommend it but I may or may not re-watch.

FIRST OF ALL FIRSTS, if you're looking for romance dramas and found this cute little drama. Beware! I'm telling you guys this doesn't have the romance you all are expecting, just sweet things and nothing else.

I don't get how many people hated this drama because it doesn't have any main plot. If you're watching cartoons or a Disney tv show (Jessie, Austin and Ally, Good Luck, Charlie}, you'll see that each episode has a different plot. TBB is the same, focusing on what the drama is all about -- showing the students and their high school life.

Although there were some episodes that may bore you, you can skip them. To be honest, I hated the game episode, so I skipped it because it didn't have any relation on the next episode.

I absolutely loved the characters! They all had an important role and I really liked how they portrayed, especially Liao Danyi (MY MAN). Ye Muxi is totally a BIG BOSS!

The ending music always gets me off-guard. I really liked that song so much!

Anyways, I would definitely re-watch this! I am currently re-watching the second season and so far the nostalgic feelings are coming back to life. If you're here for some fun on a sad day, this should be one of your lists.

I happened to pass by this perverted drama with a little spice of comedy. I was looking forward for a budding romance on the president and the convict, but... sadly nope.

This is a manga adapted into a live action and anime.

A funny drama with a mix of naughty stuff and I'm not used to watch those kind of things. The story made me laugh at every episode. But sometimes, during the some Ecchi parts and scenes with beating and stuff, I can't really help but skip it. My eyes are still that innocent, senpai~

Their acting is good! I love how cute Taishi is here~ Watched and stayed because of him. I wonder how they manage to pull off those scenes because I swear it's way too hilarious and sometimes kind of ya know dat stuff

Hopefully they make a season two of this because I really wanted to see the Underground Student Council *spoils* and what the boys will do! XD

I think if you're a fan of Ecchi, you might be able to re/watch this. As for me, I don't really think so. It's not really my cup of tea. It's a good drama, although I might not really recommend to everyone, please still do try. It might be your cup of tea. ;)
