The Sound of Music

A classic feel good musical that I grew up watching with my mom, and she with hers.

Hospital Playlist

I've thoroughly enjoyed Reply 1988 and Prison Playbook. This one fell short of my expectation. I find some of the character arcs either too predictable or too pat. Not saying it was bad. Just hope the next season has a stronger plot.

Queen of Tears

I've always admired Kim Jiwon's versatility and felt that she was somewhat underrated. Finally in this drama, she receives the well-deserved recognition that has been long overdue.

Plot-wise, it's quite predictable with some clichés and loopholes but I can't help tuning in to every episode. The cast has great chemistry, especially since many of them have worked together on other projects. The show's creators also included plenty of easter eggs, so if you're a fan of kdramas and movies, you'll enjoy spotting some of them. I personally appreciate how the drama isn't overly complicated (although I don't understand choosing death over losing memories???), funny at times and has many heartstring-tugging moments, culminating in a highly satisfying ending.

ONE PIECE

Not gonna lie, this show feels like a high-budget children's production. This isn't meant to be a put-down and I genuinely enjoyed the show. I haven't seen the anime or manga, maybe the child-friendly tone was an intentional nod to the original. The characters were well-cast, even though some lacked strong acting skills. All in all, if you can move past the initial cringe, it's entertaining and at times, wholesome, like a lot of the shonen manga.

The Killer's Shopping List

Predictable, sure. But still a fun watch. The blend of crime-noir suspense and slapstick comedy in this one works, creating a nice balance of tune. A well-paced, binge-worthy drama.

Can't believe we got to see Fala Chen again, let alone on the big screen! :')

Gotta say, the bus scene was epic thanks to the fight sequences, camera angles and stunt effects. Tony Leung unsurprisingly stole the show. Simu Liu on the other hand, has the most stoic and flat expression. He needs some serious acting lessons.

Entertaining. Wouldn't mind a sequel :)

At Eternity's Gate

"Maybe God made me a painter for people who aren't born yet."

Visually, this is a very compelling film that drips vibrance and grit like one of Van Gogh's paint brushes. Yet, I was left without an emotional conclusion — some scenes which are supposed to carry weigh were short and then abruptly transitioned to the next event. As an ardent fan of the artist, this fell slightly short for me.

Wonderful casts tho.

Blue Beetle

Received an invitation to the premiere, and as you guessed, it had very typical superhero tropes. I don't really mind it and kinda dig the light-heartedness. The storyline isn't groundbreaking but the slapstick humor here and there makes it a fun watch. I'm glad I went, it was a great choice to unwind on a midweek evening.

Not terrible but not the best. Most exciting part to me was probably the post-credit with Blade / Black Knight reveal. (yikes!)

Call Me Chihiro

Admittedly, this film isn't quite clicking for me. I was unable to discern its intended message although still found it enjoyable till the end. I liked the intricate human interactions showcased in the story. Despite dealing with mature and dark themes, the movie maintains a gentle and warm tone without any over-the-top melodrama.

Don't Look Up

The film felt longer than necessary. Things only got slightly interesting on the second half.

Color Me True

I guess the film can either be a beautiful fantasy or a corny, iffy one, depending on how you feel about parasocial relationships. If you don't put too much thoughts into it, it's a sweet romcom. Plot aside, the cinematography is stunning, and both Kentaro and Ayase were perfect for their roles. I am all whipped for Ayase's Audrey Hepburn-esque look, she looks gorgeous.

This season has too many plot holes to overlook and the actress who played Tilda was dreadful - _ -

Earth Arcade: Season 2

Things just got more fun in this second season, maybe because I've gotten used to the show's format. The cast I must say is incredible - each member brings something different to the table which makes the show really unique. The four of them mesh so well together that you feel nothing but good vibes watching them. Their chemistry is simply amazing. Also, just when you thought you knew everyone's humor and quirks, this season brings you new dimensions of their comedic genius.

Overall great entertainment, deserves all the hype and its high viewership.

Burn the House Down

I started watching this drama for Nagano Mei, but the premise on which the story is built has made it hard to continue. I mean, I understand the need for drama, but does it really make sense for a husband to divorce his wife just because she caused a house fire, which obviously was an accident, and then for the wife to become so traumatized that she develops amnesia? Wouldn't insurance take care of the aftermath? It's not even as if they are poor. If you have a husband like that, count yourself fortunate to be divorced from him.

It's a shame but I do hope someone (especially those of you who enjoyed it) can offer counterpoints and convince me to give it another chance.
