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)

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.

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

The Moment starts at misplacing place. It can be confusing a little if you don’t have a mind that fills up the parts of the story that are missing. The ending leaves you guessing on what happens. I really can’t explain the real problems without spoiling it for everyone. I can say it ends with a cliffhanger and you the watcher have to fill up what you think to happen. It feels like it a sequel or prequel to another thing. It feels unfinished. I felt like it just dragged on like a waiting room in a doctor office. You are expecting something to pick up or develop to catch your attention, but there are too many loose ends at the end. I would recommend this to someone because it may just not be a movie for me. Would you watch it again? No. I feel like there are numerous missing pieces in the story. I got bored of it quick. I did enjoy what I think are the end couples.

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.

Review

HIStory: Stay Away From Me manage to keep my attention the whole time. I have to say it had a new plotline for me. The actors and actresses in this are amazing! This plot is always played out in Wattpad stories and what if in fanfictions. However, this is the first time I have seen it in a tv series or movie. I feel like you can connect to the characters. I know that if you have the feels that a fangirl has, you will connect with Meng Meng. I notice that if you are a crier when it comes to emotional moments, you will cry. However, it depends on you to decide if it is happy or sad tears. The only problem I had was it was too short! I need more! An hour and 10 minutes are too short. Would you watch it again? Yes, I would watch this again. This series is by far been my favorite in the HIStory’s series. It is just sad that it does not have more audience to them.

Review

HIStory: My Hero starts a little cheesy, however in an enjoyable way. I would not recommend watching this if you are under the age of 13 because it does show something that is considered “sexual.” It may just be me when it comes to awkward moments, I get second-hand embarrassment, and it has those moments. Four episodes are about 20 minutes long. One of my favorite things is when Lan Xi possess Gu Si Ren; the thoughts are in Lan Xi’s voice. It is humorous to watch. This series can make you open eyes to those you fall in love with. It has a good lesson to anyone about love. Would you watch it again? Maybe, if I was bored and wanted to watch something.
