Review

Oppressive Love is a movie based on ghosts and supernatural themes. I feel like this movie was a mess. It does have a Bl theme, but there is no process of how they got in their relationship. The acting was messy at time. It had good music for scenes. The plot was chopping and didn’t flow throughout the film. But this could be based on the fact that it was supposed to have a second movie but couldn’t due to China’s ban. I feel like the closer you find videos or TV shows that made, produce, or released close to the banned end up not having all the components that planed to have at the beginning of the plan. I don’t know if this is the truth or not or just something I have noticed about any Chinese movie or TV series made in 2016. Would you watch it again? No, the movie was a mess, and I felt like it was missing parts or just not connecting right.

Movie Summary

A group of spies called the 5446 Corps were trained by North Korean elite special forces since their youth, ostensibly towards the lofty goal of unifying Korea. They are ambitiously dispatched to South Korea, where each disguises himself as a fool, an aspiring singer, and a high school student. Passing boring time without receiving any orders from the North, they gradually get used to life as ordinary neighbors in a small town until one day, their mundane lives are turned upside down when a “secret and great” mission is suddenly assigned to them.

Review

Secretly, Greatly a movie that took me for a surprise. I love the soundtrack that producers use for the film in fight scenes throughout the whole thing. I will say there is a little bit of bromance if you read between the lines. How I found this movie was a bl or bromance compilation video. I love how the actors portray their characters. I didn’t expect the ending to make me weep. The end is guessable, but I think as audience members we hope for the opposite. I won’t tell you if the tears were happy or sad tears. I will say I expected a whole different movie from the summary, but I’m satisfied with it. I feel like how they portray the three main characters having a brotherly bond play with the audience’s emotions. I enjoyed that the main focus was that they all had someone close to their hearts that they would rebel their whole country. Would I watch it again? I don’t think I would personally, however, I would watch it if I were showing someone who has never seen it or if it was on a streaming series available in my country.

Review

Dangerous Boys was dreadful. I got bored with the whole thing. I spend most of the movie, confused. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. The acting was okay. I feel it had many plot holes that not explained. They should have made it into a tv series so we could get to understand the characters and fix the plot. Would I watch it again? No. I might if there was a remake, but this movie just was so dull.

Review

A Round Trip to Love was like this is what happens to lead up to this moment. It what establishes the “get to know the characters.” The beginning is a scene from the second movie. It shows how someone from an absolute wealth has to hide from family and friends. Lu Feng is a character that is very dominated and takes what he wants, which can cause a narrow line of consent to be cross. It does have concerning scene that I would advise the audience to be cautious about if you don’t like those time of theme and scenes. A Round Trip to Love feels like a pilot of a series. You know where you are trying to get to know the main plot of the series. The ending is a cliff-hanger because they came out with a part 2 for the movie. Would I watch it again? I feel like I don’t have enough information from the film to know if I can answer that question correctly and trustworthy.

Review

Long Time No See is an excellent short series that has a unique plotline. The acting is brilliant. In this series, you feel the love they have for each other. I wish it wasn’t so quick and had had the time to developed better. However, this series is an underappreciated series. This series has violence in it. Even though the series is about assassins/hitman, it has it just sweet lovey moments that make you fall in love with the main characters. I would recommend this series if you have about an hour and 30 minutes to waste. The only bad part of the series was the ending. I don’t know why I didn’t like it and its not something you expect from the series. Would you watch it again? Yes, I would watch this and get my friends interested in this. It’s so sweet and lovely.
