" Touch " was okay at first, but in the end didn't really serve.

The drama had a bad romance. The age gap was not a problem really, but the real x factor that it was missing was the chemistry. The couple looked more like mentor-student than boyfriend-girlfriend. And the lack of romantic scenes between them did not help at all. The second lead, actually, had a better and cuter love story with the female lead than the main character.

Also, the story was okay, but not well executed. The second couple was messy, and at some point it felt like they were trying to make that bad guy who was hitting his wife, like the victim who deserved a second chance. In addition, the female lead's passion about makeup was kind of out of the blue and felt like she did it only so she can get a job, rather than she actually loved it. The business drama was good though and had a lot of twist.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Moonlit Winter " or full moon, was a nice movie.

The drama was just enough and the character interesting. Especially the daughter, she was feisty and just the perfect partner for her mother, who was dynamic, but pretty closed to herself. The movie did a nice job with keeping things interesting, however, even though the idea of the story was original and very emotional, it felt like it wasn't well presented. At times, it got a bit confusing and it would have been better, in my opinion, if they had given us some information about their past relationship, or some scenes from the past, as to built a better intensity for the couple. The performances though were very good, and the young couple extra cute.

So, overall, six out of ten, because the story deserved a better presentation.

" Flavour it's yours " actually made that crazy plot work.

At first, the plot idea seemed ridiculous, but the personalities of the two main leads made it work. The mystery was good too, though the taste switching twist got messy and almost out of control. The romance was sweet, though and the leads had chemistry. The pace of the romance, however, was all over the place and almost ruined it. Thankfully, the couple had plenty of cute moments to cover up for it. The second lead's story was pretty interesting and he had a nice love story to boot. The performances were good too, but the leading lady looked way too young.

So, overall, six out of ten.

" Love after school second season " was okay.

The web drama picked up some time after the two leads got together and they have decided to get married. However, a girl from the male lead's past comes and messes things up. Though the girl seemed a bit annoying at first, the male lead ended up outstanding her. Therefore I wish that the ending was different, even though it was a happy one I suppose. The second lead who was in love with the girl never got explored more than just a few scenes either. But the multiple pov presentation was good, even though that ment that most of the scenes were repeated.

So, overall, five out of ten.

" Motokare Mania " had pontential, but it felt like it was wasting it.

First of all, the leading lady was really good. She was charming, adorable, and she had chemistry with her love interest. The latter was pretty cute, as well, and he added some comedy to the drama. The side characters were really entertaining as well, and their stories were interesting, probably more interesting than the main one after a while.

So, the first part of the drama was good, with some cute moments of the couple and the anticipation of their either reunion or final break up. However, it got tiring after the first half. And it got a bit boring as well.

So, overall, six out of ten.

" Fly me to saitama " was not my cup of tea, but there were some aspects of it that I did appreciate.

First of all, this movie is not for everyone. It must not be taken seriously and there is no real meaning behind it. However, the pace of the story was pretty good, with the adventure having a nice start and a dynamic ending. The production was really good too, with the costumes being top notch, as well as the settings. It is slightly bothered me that the grandson was played by an actress and not an actor, even though she did a great job with her character.

So, overall, six out of ten.

The first L-DK movie was really good. This one is not a remake of that old one, but it's more like a sequel. The one thing that didn't really work for me was the fact that the story presented a background really quickly with some flash backs. If there was a mini series before the movie that would have been understandable, howerver, as a stand alone, that was a bit rocking the balance.

Other than that, the story was pretty good. The couple had chemistry and the girl was adorable and just right for that role. The love triangle was interesting too, as well as the conclusion, which was satisfying. The performances were pretty decent too.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

" Shanghai Fortress " was for sure not a memorable movie. Even having watched it two nights ago, I can't even recall the actual point of this movie.

The movie had a weak plot. The whole romance was just boring and it didn't add anyting exciting to the plot, as there was zero development. The friendship betweet the "pilots" was really good and it gave a youthfull spin to the movie. The acting was good as well. In addition, some of the CGI were good, but others were just horrible.

Overall, the story was bad. There was no plot, just a faint idea of where they wanted this movie to go.

So, three out of ten.

Demekin reminded me of High and Low series, and not because Yamada Yuki was the lead of the movie. The story was packed with action scenes, fighing and blood. The vibe was a bit strange at first, but you get used to it. The plot begins with the two boys playing around and then it just narrates the journey of the main character and how he became the leader of a gang. So, for a gang-action-fighting movie, this one was good. However, the story itself was just okay. I guess the visuals and the performances were those that supported this movie rather than the plot line. So seven out of ten.
