Review

Warning this has a rape scene in it. Okay, the actors are amazing for acting out this movie. I feel conflicted because if the world wasn’t against them, and they communicated, they would have a good love story. However, since they don’t communicate with each other, it caused this movie plot to occur. Since Lu Feng is greedy and spoiled, he uses to get what he wants, but he can’t have Xiao Chen.
While Xiao Chen is the opposite, he takes care of the people he loves to make sure they are happy even in the expend of his happiness. I feel if one of the parents accepted them for who they were when they got caught in the first movie, we would see more of a healthy relationship. However, that didn’t happen. This relationship is toxic, and if anyone has a partner who treats them this way, you need to leave. I feel like there are a lot of what-ifs and the concept of the butterfly effect. The end is an open ending, which makes you feel empty and left down. I don’t know if they did this on purpose or because China’s banned came to play for them. We really would never understand. Would I watch it again? Mostly not.
Nevertheless, I will watch fan-made video on this couple. I feel like the actors had so much chemistry that you want the couple to be together at the end. However, I have never had my consent taken from me.

Genre

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.

Genre

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.

Movie Summary

Yuzuru asked Touji out as a half-hearted joke, not expecting to be taken seriously. Touji accepted, and Yuzuru knew he was like the rest, the relationship began on a Monday, and dumped on a Sunday. What he did not expect were the feelings that went beyond friendship that emerged. It’s now Friday, and the end is approaching. But is it? Yuzuru may be mourning the inevitable, but what about Touji? Friday begins the end, but Sunday reveals all.  (Source)

Genre

Review

Seven Days: Friday – Sunday is the second part of the Seven Days movie series, and I feel like it ended on a sweet note. The movie has the overused plot pointer. The “they don’t communicate their feels which cause a disconnect.” The kisses have a lack of romantic feelings. However, you can look at it like this is their first real relationship which causes the whole am I doing this right feel. I want to say this movie has that innocent and first true love feeling to it. Their passion is what most people who want to fall in love want to have. Would I watch this again? Yes on a rainy day where I want to see the love between two people. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to feel a relationship in a short amount of time.

Genre

Review

HIStory2: Right or Wrong is a spectacular series that I fell in love with it in the first episode. It plays in the whole student and teacher relationship. However, they don’t make all about forbidden love. There’s an age gap of 12 years in it. I do have to say it is very jumpy in the first episode. The plot is like a slow burn story for a while. They develop over the fact that they both care about Yo Yo, which is super essential when children of a past relationship are involved with the living situation. It talks about the fear of coming out and the prior damage from involvement in any relationship. The series is the best to watch on any day because the episodes are under 25 minutes. There are eight episodes. The main focus is the fact that Yo Yo adores them. I just amazed that Yo Yo was one of the main focus. I see a lot of real-life relationships not put the kids’ opinion in becoming a new family unit. Would you watch this again? Hell yeah! The series has been one of my favorite series to watch. The acting is fantastic and looks real. It has hilarious moments. I will probably watch this again before the year is over.

Movie Summary

Bright and early one Monday morning, Shino Yuzuru asks Seryou Touji out on a lark when they run into each other at the school gate. Seryou, who’s immensely popular, has the odd habit of going out with anyone who asks him out first at the beginning of the week, then promptly dumping them at the end of it. “Anyone” apparently includes male upperclassmen like Shino, and as a boyfriend, Seryou is perfect–unfailingly thoughtful and kind. Shino, obviously, has no intention of being in a serious relationship with Seryou. (Source)

Genre

Review

Seven Days: Monday – Thursday is the first part of the Seven Day movie series. Seven Days: Monday – Thursday is a sweet and innocent movie that shows the emotional part of the relationship. You start to fall in love with the main couple in the film. The ending is a cliffhanger because there is a sequel. The one thing that the summary gets wrong is that Seryou is not the one doing the dumping it the girl he dates that drop him. Seryou does have some drama with his brother’s on and off again girlfriend. This movie showed in Seryou’s point of view of the relationship. You start to see him fall in love with Shino. Would you watch it again? Oh yeah, it shows more of the build-up of a relationship before doing physical things like kissing and holding hands. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch something that is more developed in a relationship. I would warn that the kiss is awkward.

Genre

Review

HIStory2: Boundary Crossing is realistic to the lives of teenagers where they do have to balance out the responsibilities of school, work, and sports. HIStory2: Boundary Crossing starts where you have the bad boy getting noticed by the volleyball captain and manager because of his high jump. The series begins with the funny and determined captain into convincing the bad boy into joining the team by bothering him. He later joins the volleyball team starting the main plotline. It’s a comic series to watch and talks about romance. There is a real-life moment where they talk about dating someone who is leaving high to go to college. It has its cheesy moments, but it enjoyable. There are two plots arrive in here. I would say this series is too short. I feel that if the series had additional episodes, it would have more process on both relationships and the characters. The acting is more convincing than most series I have seen. Would you watch it again? I will mostly watch it again to refresh my memories since there is going to be a sequel. I have heard a few times it going be a movie or just another season. We will have to wait and see.

Review

Okay, I am going to be upfront with everyone. If you have any terrible experience with rape, consent, or stalker-like obsession with someone, DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!!! HIStory: Obsessed has the key components to cause someone who has been through that situation to have a panic attack. I know that the writers, producers, and directors were trying to play this off like they were destined to be together. The story is a beautiful theme. It just hits on the line on consent and nonconsent. I appreciate the work that when to the series. Still, I would be careful about watching this if you don’t like or can’t stand those themes. The acting is incredible and realistic that it made me cry. I warn but still, encourage people to watch this. Would you watch it again? Most likely. I enjoyed the facts of destined love. This series is where love is never changing.

Genre

Review

Summerdaze is 4 minutes video about a friend falling in with their best friend. It quick but shows the stages a relationship goes through when falling in love with someone you have always had in your life. It shows the realization about oh crap I’m in love with my best friend. The courage you have to make a move finally. The shock that your friend has when they realize you like them more. The struggle of being separated from each other to think over what has happened. Then the feelings that you have for your friend recuperate back to you. It is lovely and innocent love that we all wish we had. Would I watch it again? Yes, because of it being short, you understand the feeling that these characters have. The actors acted in these scenes naturally. I would recommend watching it for yourself.
