Review

“The Moment ” I Need You is a mini-series that shows the fluffy love between a vet and a bartender. It shows the growth of the vet personality by giving up his passion for an ex-girlfriend and giving it to someone else. Weirdly, the vet was trying to get away to have a breather, and his ex shows up. This show is concise and fluffy; ending is up to the audience. The acting was good. I love how the music played throughout the show, and sound effects were entertaining. Would I watch it again? I really can’t say, it was short and felt like something you should watch over and over again.

Sleepover

Movie Summary

Desperate to improve their social status, four best friends enter into an all-night scavenger hunt against the popular clique in their school. (Source)

Genre

Review

Sleepover is a 2000’s teen film that any girl wanted to have a moment of telling the popular bully that she isn’t better than anyone else due to her having a high school boyfriend when she just became a freshman in high school. I love how I remember knowing I had watched this movie in my past and told my sister to watch this movie. The longer we watch this movie, the more we more actors that are popular now, in the past ten years or just in your childhood. This film is just so funny. The writing is cheesy, but at the time that it got released, it was good. I recommend this movie for anyone who grew up in the late ’90s to mid-late 2000’s Disney. I love the fact that the main guy didn’t get about them stealing his underwear. This film is just something I was laugh pretty much throughout the whole movie. Would I watch this again? Yeah, this movie was just a nostalgia film that you come to love and enjoy.

A Frozen Flower

Movie Summary

Under the pressure of the Yuan Kingdom, the King of Goryeo is pressured to produce a successor to the throne. But the king is in love with his loyal general Hong Rim. After seriously pondering the issue, the king asks his lover Hong Rim to sleep with the Queen, with unexpected consequences.(Source)

Genre

Review

A Frozen Flower is a movie that I think you can only honestly watch once. I will warn you do not watch this if you are under the age of 18, around loved ones, or someone you would not want to watch sex scenes. The movie has sex scenes and a lot of blood and violence. The acting was astounding. The actor for the king made you feel that love and passion for Hong Rim. Hong Rim’s actor made you feel that passion for the queen for he fall in love with her. The queen was a character you feel sorry for in the movie. She is married to a man that is entirely not interested in her at all for many reasons. The main reasons are she is female, and the king is already in love. I will say how the king and his guard meet is the standard time the movie takes place. However would not be acceptable in western and now, for it can be portrayed as the king is grooming his guard for the age is 7- 10-year-old taking care of the king who 13- 17 years old. So many people feel like Hong Rim was groomed, I see their point of view. I feel like if you look between the lines, you could see in the more adult time as Hong Rim having Stockholm syndrome in away but could be a loyal servant just doing as his king told him. The king’s word is law at that moment. However, the only way we could say that Hong Rim had been groomed or just complete loyal to his king is if we got more scenes with them growing up and see the relationship developed to what is their adult lives. But I do want to talk about the ending scene. In the scene, the king asked, did you ever love me? And Hong Rim says No, not at all. I do feel like Hong Rim was lying to do what he thinks he had to do at the moment. I mean, I can see Hong Rim being borderline Stockholm syndrome. Hong Rim being the most trusted loyal servant of the king, you are going to know things that little to no one would know. In the beginning, we know that the king and Hong Rim have a brotherly bond that grows to be sexual. You are going to be in love. I feel sorry for all three characters because all don’t get what they want at the end. Would you watch it again? No, the movie is alright, and acting is excellent. The film is about two and a half hours long and just stretched at moments and scenes that are not needed.

Before I Love You: Mek x Mork

Series Summary

Often love is not a coincidence. But it is caused by friends of friends! (Source)

Genre

Review

Before I Love You: Mek x Mork is a short story about two friends trying to set up their friend Mork. It is sweet that they were thinking about their friend. But there are a few flaws like they didn’t even know if Mek liked guys or was trying to date anyone. The acting is cheesy. The music was the same soundtrack for the rest of Before I Love You series. I think this needs more time to developed by like 5 minutes. Would you watch it again? No, it just was not something I would watch it again.

Episode 3 of Before I Love You Series

Secretly, Greatly

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. (Source)

Genre

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.

Before I Love You: Phu x Tawan

Series Summary

Believe that friend zone almost penetrates every molecule of love, but Phu and Tawan will take us out of that zone. How? (Source)

Genre

Review

Before I Love You: Phu x Tawan is about how Tawan and Phu became a couple. This video is part of a series, film-like episodes are seven minutes long. This episode is all puppy love, and the first crush, which is just adorable and fluff. I would recommend it. Would you watch it again? Yeah, it short and sweet, and the company itself posted it on YouTube, which is very helpful so that other countries can see it.

Episode 1 of Before I Love You Series

The Black Devil and the White Prince

Movie Summary

**Sequal to Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai**

Akahane Yu moves to a dormitory room after her father’s transfer from work. She is excited that she will live in the same dorm as Shirakawa Takumi aka “White Prince.” Yet, Kurosaki Haruto aka “Black Devil” kisses her as punishment for going against him. It is Yu’s first kiss. Since then, she becomes obedient to Kurosaki Haruto. (Source)

Genre

Review

The Black Devil and the White Prince is funny and straightforward. The movie has some severe and just humorous moments. I love the relationship between Yu and Meiko, where they communicate and are trustworthy to each other. I do think the primary guys’ relationship ending on a good note. I do like that you can see maturity with the characters, which is fantastic because most of the time the growth is little to none or just a whole new role created. I would say watch the two episodes series; first, it just give you more information on the characters. I did love the two background guy character; they add a little humor and realistic feeling to the story. I did enjoy the whole movie and the ending. I feel like, at times, there were yaoi moments between Haruto and Takumi. However, I have been watching a lot of BL series and films. My brain is probably still on that mindset. I feel like if they want to pull a plot twist on the audience, it would we find out that Haruto and Takumi are or become a couple. Or, Meiko and Yu become a couple and end with the school finding out but put a scene where the girls who pulled the trick on Yu find out that the Princes are unavailable. Would you watch it again? Most likely not because I was wary about this series because of the different opinions that I have seen on videos and wiki pages/review sites.

Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai

Series Summary

**Story takes place one month before the movie.”**

Akahane Yu moves to a dormitory room after her father’s transfer at work. She and Haruto aka “Black Devil” have the worst meeting. Since then, Haruto treats her like his slave. The only person who is kind to her is Takumi aka “White Prince”.

Genre

Review

Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai is comic series. Akahane Yu moves to a new school where she faces challenges like trying to push herself out of her shell by standing up to people, make friends, and getting a boyfriend. Akahane Yu does this for herself to build her self-esteem after being bullied in her past school. In the new school, Akahane Yu meets a set of boys who are long term friends. One is standoffish, cold, and strict, who Akahane Yu calls a demon or black devil whose name is Kurosaki Haruto. The other friend is charming and sweet, who Akahane Yu calls an angel or a white prince who called Shirakawa Takumi. The show deals with problems like what if two best friends like the same person, healthy relationships, and fear of what-ifs if you look closely at the plot. I do like the Akahane Yu for the reason that she tries her best to make friends and say what she’s thinking. Shirakawa Takumi and Kurosaki Haruto give me a weird feeling like the Shirakawa Takumi has a naughty side by play a fake relationship with Akahane Yu.
Nevertheless, Kurosaki Haruto is toxic by calling Akahane Yu his slave, forcing her to do chores and pushing her/ pulling her hair. But everyone puts walls to protect themselves. Some walls are just harder to break down. I hope that Shirakawa Takumi and Kurosaki Haruto friendship does get ruin by fighting over a girl. In a way, you want all characters to have a happy ending. Would you watch it again? I don’t know since there is a movie that takes place a month after the series. I have to wait and see.

Genre

Review

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey 2 is season 2 of Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey, and it is a mess. I’m going to start by saying for some reason I couldn’t pay attention to the relationship drama between Emma and Porsche. I really can’t tell you anything that was going on with between their scenes. I even struggled to watch the Pick and Rome scenes because it was just a drama f**k. I wish this had been thought out and written better, but they just wrote the main point while being drunk. They should not have put added drama with Emma and Porsche. They should have been like Pick and Rome were in the first season but together. I do have to say I’m just glad that Our Sky is happening so I can get more on Pick and Rome’s relationship. The ending is all right. Would you watch it again? I don’t know. I felt bored for most of it. However, I am the type of person who tortures themselves.

Love Love You

Movie Summary

Part 2 of Love’s Coming movie.  (Source)

Genre

Review

Love Love You is the sequel to Love Coming. You must watch it first! You know this was going to be bad quick when you introduce your boyfriend as your neighbor. Most of the time, when you have a love triangle, you always hate the one who is breaking your ship. However, Sunz is the sweetest. There is some heartfelt moment between Gump and his mom. This movie theme is that communication is key to your relationship. I can see the symbolism that they were trying to show with the kiss between Nai and Bon. It is that Nai having old feelings reappear for Bon. When they kiss, he realizes that his affections for Gump are stronger. It also can be like this is the last kiss to close this old relationship that will never happen again. This scene does not mean I think doing this is the right thing. I do believe their friends are still funny. It was sweet that they still care for Gump and Nai relationship enough to help get them back together. Would I watch it again? Maybe if I was bored. I would recommend viewing both movies.
