Irresistible Love – Secret of the Valet starts by introducing the characters and how they meet. Xie Yan is a unique character where he has terrible qualities like being greedy and selfish but still have respect for his employees. He greedy about Shu Nian like a childhood teddy bear where you had it from your time as a baby and kept it with you even in adulthood. Shun Nian knows him, and that help Xie Yan realize his feelings. The movie follows your attention. I’m having trouble describing the film. Their relationship is unique and special that needs to be cherished for the rest of their lives. Would I watch it again? Oh yeah, it a movie that I pause through once. I have trouble viewing things alone because I get second-hand embarrassment or just too much fluff in one scene that I need to pause and take the fluff in spoon fulls, not the whole bottle. However, there is a part two; it can change my mind.

Mr. X and I – The Groomsman ending is not the happiest. Mr. X and I – The Groomsman shows the dynamics of traditional Chinese culture. The fact that people have sham weddings to make their families happy is sad. Families don’t realize that arrange marriage does more bad than good. It’s worsted if the spouse that you don’t love doesn’t know from the beginning. It shows the sacrifices that Eastern civilization does to make their blood family happy. People of western culture/civilization, don’t have the duty of getting married to make their family happy by sacrificing their happiness. I don’t know how common it is in eastern culture. In this episode, the main reason for the sham marriage is gossip and respect from the community. Would I watch it again? I don’t know. I know I would recommend it to people to see how different parts of the world deal with specific situations.

Us Against The World shows the relationship between two schoolboys that started by admiring each other and fall in love with each other. We see what gossip does to a group of people. It makes people so hateful and breaks relationships off. One of the characters had someone force come out before he could be comfortable with his feelings and accepting himself. We see that the couple at the end are still together even though one of them will lose his popularity to the fact he fell in love. I wish there are more series like this where we see stories of the struggle of a group of people whether it the LGBT+ community, by the color of your skin or your gender. Us Against The World shows the innocent love between two people and the fights of the relationship. I like that fact that this is all true stories. The acting is suitable for people who are still so young. Would I watch it again? Yes, it only 10 minutes long and make you feel happy that their love is strong enough for the struggle they will face.

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.

All right, everyone, Tom Gay has a unique idea. However, it doesn’t full up to it. The whole story feels rushed, and there is no development. I know this movie is a small budget movie that made more than half a decade ago. However, the directors and writers still could have done more. The acting was okay. The end is disappointing. Most series and movies teach you a lesson at the end, and this film had nothing for you to learn from the plot. The two relationships are quite toxic in a way which makes the characters have no growth. The characters don’t learn anything. I would not recommend this to anyone. Would you watch it again? No, I would not watch this movie again. I might if it got remade with a high budget and change like the whole thing. When I read the summary, I thought that the partners of the kidnap would be the one ones to save their loved ones.
