This movie feed up my psychologist soul. Suicide is always been my biggest question, why some people--or in many case teenager--have a suicidal thought? I mean, if you die, you can't change anything anymore, right? Your mark stuck at that moment, but if you live, you can change, upgrade and proof yourself. There's so much reasons to ended your life, but living takes courage and so much more reasons to still live. I hope a lot of children out there, who ever think to take their life, find a reason to keep living. We'll die in the end, so why rushing now?

Back to the movie. The story idea is great in my opinion, the problem some clear, some shady, some complicated and some seems there's even not a problem. The problem solving somehow feels not a problem solving, but the process of the teens thought to the problem solving is what's matter. The pace of telling is good, not too fast and not too slow, although there are some details that might be better told a little more.

The acting of the casts are very good. They play so naturally and ensoul their roles. However, in my opinion the outstanding actors are Mackenyu and Kitamura Takumi. As for the female cast, Sugisaki Hana plays really well.

For me, this movie is one of the 'hard-to-digest' movie but leave a very deep meaning in our heart.
The movie talk about how the family that nearly broken face the misfortune together. Parent's love is really amazing, but sometimes on the other side it can destroyed other people.

In this movie, in order to keep their daughter alive, the father asked one of his subordinate to try out his research to his daughter. Happy with the result, the subordinate drowned to the matters and second think of his personal matter and relationship. The mother give all of her love and attention to the daughter so that the daughter doesn't feel alone, but her action make his son feel unnoticed. She even didn't realize the feeling of his son.

Many tragedy and emotional scene in this 120 minutes movie. One tragedy, many butterfly-effect and one solution. Sometimes I didn't agree with the mother, but if I positioned myself in her position, I think I will act the same.

All of the casts acts very great! Awesome! I didn't feel I watch a movie. It's like watching a documentary.

Ending song is あいことば (Aikotoba) by ayaka.

His future is her past. Seriously, this movie is so sweet, heartwarming and sad at the same time. I really hope that they'll find a way to be with each other forever. My heart really broken when I saw Takatoshi crying on his 28th day and her 2nd day.

Fukushi Sota is so cool in this movie with that hair length and glasses. But I'm kinda disappointed that he doesn't wear that glasses in all the movie. As for Higashide Masahiro ... he's as cool as usual hahaha .... And Komatsu Nana is so beautiful.

The Knight of Shadow : (9.5/10.0)

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]

So, I watched this movie at the cinema. I'm not watching this to see Jackie Chan, but to see Austin Lin (^o^) (I'm so sorry, Jackie XD) And oh my God, I always laugh when he come to the screen! Especially when he dressed up like a woman! (^o^)

For the story, I love how the story taste light in the beginning and then become heavy from middle to end without leave the comedy aspect. A little minus point from me is a 3D animation for Caichen when he standing (or flying should I say) at the Lanruo. For me, the standing pose is simple enough, they no need to use the 3D animation. That's my opinion tho (^_^)

After all, I will watch this movie again for sure (^_^)

Fresh and cute ^_^ I love when Lin Lin really did a study before Yu Ku's light is off. If that's me, I will read mangas. LOL. She's so natural in a natural way, meanwhile Yu Ke's stoic attitude is kinda cute too, especially when Lin Lin ask which comes out first, chicken or egg. LOL. It also warmed your heart when Yu Ke face his biggest fear to help Lin Lin ^_^

I love the story idea and so the conflict, but I think it will be better if they show more conflict with Duan Xi, not only with Ru Ting. The other thing I love about the movie is the song. I am a bit surprised when I hear 'I Won't Let You be Lonely' (Wo Bu Yuan Rang Ni Yi Ge Ren) by Mayday. I am a little bit lost focus to the scene when this song playing ^o^;

This is the best gaming drama I've ever watched!
The core of this drama is gaming which become an e-sport. Developed from that core, the other aspect which occur is friendship and team work. With so many female and male character, I was amazed that there's no romance thing in this drama (＾▽＾) But, if I analyze closely, I think Sun Xiang have a slight romance feeling toward Su Mu Cheng ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

Carry the game theme, I'm so glad that they show a lot of scene in the game. The artwork of the game is really superb and didn't feel like game at all. For me, who always did a typo when typing in my keyboard, they play a game with a mouse and keyboard is really look like a god and goddess (o˘◡˘o)

I love how they showed the development of Xing Xin's skill and power. The condition really represent the 'from zero to hero' phrase. Not only the skill on power, the team work and friendship also showed beautifully, not only a happy time, they also showed the bad condition of Xing Xin's team work and friendship.

I'm not watching the anime yet, but for me, this drama have a good pace, not too slow and not too fast, makes it's interesting to watch. The conflicts occur at a good timing, makes the drama not flat or boring. The settlement of the conflict also great, not rushing but not too late.

And now for the acting. First of all, the most outstanding acting is from Yang Yang as the male lead. His character is so strong and well build, Yang Yang also great at portraying the character. The other casts are doing great too, where they act naturally and build a good atmosphere with other casts.

The music I found in this drama :
1. Opening Song : Lai Zi Chen Ai De Guang (来自尘埃的光) by Cai Ze Wei
2. Ending Song : Rong Yao de Zhan Chang (荣耀的战场) by R1SE
3. Dian Feng Zhi Shang (巅峰之上) by Mao Bu Yi
4. Zui Liao Bu Qi De Ni (最了不起的你) by Duan Ao Juan
And I really love all the songs! (◕‿◕)♡

Last but not least, I will recommend this drama to everyone (gamer or not), with a note that there's no romance scene in this drama. So, if you look for the romantic or fluffy cheese drama, this is not for you.

Someone told me months ago to watch this drama for final closure of Todome no Kiss, but I always forgot to watch it (^_^;)

If you want to watch from episode 1, then it's okay (I did the same), but if you can't wait to see the continue of the last episode of Todome no Kiss, I suggest you to go straight to episode 10. And 80% of my rating is based on the last episode (^_^)

Generally, this drama show us what happened in all parallel worlds that Otarou live (and die) after his (or other casts) death. My favorite parallel world is where Takauji become a host XD But my most favorite parallel world is the last world, where Otarou back to life after kissing Masaki Suda (the last episode) I hope Otarou can make a new pure start with Saiko, because he's so cute when he know Saiko didn't go out with Hasebe (*^.^*)

Since this movie have a short drama with the same title, I'll review them both, so my review here will be the same for the short drama.

For me, the story is quite good. I didn't read the manga yet, so maybe I didn't have high expectation on this. But, even this movie is good enough for me, still I feel something missing. I don't know, maybe the chemistry.

The casts’ acting are good, but in my opinion, Tamashiro Tina often act a little bit stiff and seems to forced his acting.

"I want to be your strength."

Let's say that this movie give the personal impression for me. There's a scene and sentence that really happened in my life. Neither described my own scene, or the one that I said and I heard. It's kinda hard to watch this movie. It's like your life is shown before your eyes. But okay, I'll leave the subjective thing and start the review.

First, I'll choose Ono (on theory, the fact I still choose MatsuJun) (^o^) But surprisingly, MatsuJun is more fit to be a teacher than Tomasu XD Before, I've said that I quite bored with student-teacher theme, but this movie is beyond my expectation. The conflict is quite heavy, wrapped with the good storyline. There's a positive and negative side on each role that you love and hate equally, that makes you can't decide if you will love or hate that role. Well, at least that's for me (^_^)

The only scene I know I hate is the last encounter between Hayama and Kudo. He shouldn't have did that!

The plot is just like the manga (and I love the manga in the first place). Well, there's 1 or 2 scene(s) that missing, but it's okay. Negative point for me is ... Shishon Jun's voice is too sweet for a male (^_^;) That's a little bit ruin my image of Minohara-senpai (^_^;)

"If you stop loving someone because it'll never be requited, then it's not the real thing."
I agree, but sometimes we need to pull back, - just like Rika did - so that the other person realize our presence. Just like another phrase, "We only value that one thing only by that time and only realize it when it's too late."

First of all, this drama makes me want to try some wine (^o^)

There's enough shady topic to be explore in the early episodes, but somehow I feel those topics not too powerful and they failed to attract me, at least until the 4th episode. After that, I feel can't get enough for this drama (^_^)

At first the drama is always focused on how Wei Xun want his taste back with an arrogant manner, but then the story move slightly to the environmental and the peoples around Wei Xun and Buzui. Clue by clue arise with a smooth move which didn't leave the focus on main story.

This is out of the topic, but I think the director or the screen writer of this drama is one of Ghibli Studio's fans, because I found that He Buzui have a Totoro pajama and Xia Fan have a Kaonashi tattoo (^o^)

I love the scene when Buzui learn to taste the wine with Wei Xun. I think they already have the feeling for each other start from that moment (^_^) Wei Xun's effort to confess his feeling is a little bit similar with Wei Yi's on PYHOMS, it really makes me laugh (^o^)

I love this series because it's not only talk about drama and romance topic, but also suspense topic, which the portion is almost similar with the drama and romance. The conflict, the climax and the closure are packaged and delivered beautifully. It really intense for the last 2 episodes, and I love how the casts link to one and another.

The male and female lead seems lack of chemistry in the early episodes, but their chemistry feels better after Lu Wei Xun lost to Mu Chun Feng.

Ireine Song's acting is as cute as usual, she's so natural and attractive. As for the appearance, in my opinion she will be cuter if her hair is a little bit longer.
As for Simon Gong's, I think he's a little bit forced his acting to be an arrogant great sommelier, but when he is being an ordinary Lu Wei Xun, his acting is great.

The other casts doing pretty great too. I personally love Zhang Yu Qing, how she dressed up, how she talk and move. She's so cool! For the male support, I adore Dai Chao because he nailed played the semi-antagonist role.

I love all the music. The opening instrument really represent the wine itself (I think I'm being ridiculous :|), which sophisticated, elegant and flowing. Meanwhile the ending song represent the drama itself, which contain romance, tragedy and conspiracy.

P.S. I love most of He Buzui outfit, especially the Totoro pajama ♡ ～('▽^人)

I finished this drama only in 2 days. I can't stop watching this. Really! Every episodes gave me a story, a question, an answer, a mix thrill between happy; curious; upset and excited. I really can write a review without me telling a hole story, but believe me, this drama really worth my lack of sleep and panda's eye o(≧▽≦)o

The story mainly tells us about time-travel or merge time every 10:06 p.m until 10:52 p.m and the reason behind that is very romantic in my opinion. Not like other movie / drama about time-travel, this drama let the actions change in the past also change the future.

There's likely a single case told in this drama. The other case is surprisingly connected in the end. The case not really complicated in my opinion, but the emotions mixed in that case makes it more interesting.

Even though the ending classified as positive, but 3 last episodes really play with my emotion. I even shed a tears (^_^;) But don't worry, all is settled down.
My most favorite part? I can't pick one because I love the whole part, but I like the scene when the past Ke Zhen Yu become the messenger for the future Ke Zhen Yu (^o^)

The acting of Lego Lee is really superb! He can delivered two different characters just based on the time and the hairstyles (^o^) And the changes of his feeling towards the female lead is quite smooth and makes me adore him (o˘◡˘o)
Nikki Shieh's acting is not bad too, she's doing great especially in the final episodes. In the early episodes, I feel she can do better.

This is one of the drama that I'll re-watch no matter what for sure! And this drama makes me curious to make a flying horse ( ´ ▽ ` )

I already feels there's something fishy start from the time Kuro gave Hotaru the rules, but I don't know what. Then my suspicions increased when I saw the last scene in the first episode, but I still don't know what the goal of this series except to help Hotaru settled her lingering regrets. As the episodes goes by, comes out more clue here and there, and I feel more like I watch a detective series than a romance, because I try to gathered the clues and makes a conclusion (^_^)

Finally I get the clear image of what's going on when Hotaru settle her lingering regrets with Ren. Truthfully, I never imagine that kind of twisted plot, but that's very interesting and touching! And the ending is somewhat between sweet, happy, bittersweet and heartwarming ending.

This series, even though just contains of 6 episodes with an average duration of 20 minutes for each episode, really can tell a story without leaving unspoken details. The story goes with the good speed, not rushing and not slow too, so that you'll feel comfortable watching it.

I watch this because I want to see another cast by Koseki Yuta and I'm not disappointed with his acting in this series ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡ But, not only him, in my opinion, the other casts' acting are superb too, they really know what they should do and have a good chemistry between each other.

The musics, whether it's an insert song or the soundtrack are great. They are really suitable to accompany this film.
