Cheongchun Beullasseom (2022)
I liked it
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this series at the beginning. Especially after watching the first two episodes, I wasn't sure about some of the actions the female lead took.
However, I'm glad I didn't stop there because I ended up really liking it. The story takes us through a journey with the female lead returning to her old high school, where she first met and sadly parted ways with her first love, we get to see how she deals with the grief of losing a loved one and believing by returning she can help other students like she was once overcome their hardships because perhaps only then she could move on. Although not much was really happening in the series, it seemed real to what we actually experience in life, from having silly love problems in school to how we deal with grief of losing whom we loved a lot once even though years might have passed.
The whole casts acting was really good in my opinion, especially the female lead.
Gekijouban Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (2021)
Something is missing.
I thought the movie was good. Story was interesting to me, showed what love can do to one. It was sad at times and exciting at others.
However the movie felt incomplete. There was little to no development shown when it comes to Yuta, the main character's abilities. At some fighting scenes I wondered how he was able to pull off some of the moves he did. For example, when he imitated the cursed speech of Toge, yes he saw Toge performing the curse when they went to the mall but how did he know that can he perform it as well. Or when yuta healed his friends after getting injured by Geto. Like how? The answers to those questions should've been included in the movie.
Also, There were some characters introduced whom we couldn't get to see what they were capable of, like basically apart from Miguel, we didn't see what Getos group were capable of at all.
Those two points left me feeling that I watched an incomplete movie by the end of it. But still it's worth the watch.
The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth (2024)
Why give the murderer a show?
It's so clear who did it. I'm so confused why everyone was very blind to realize that Indrani was the one who did it. Scratch that, let's be honest we all know they were blinded by money.
There were many instances where it was as clear as the sun that she was lying. For example, when her daughter vidhie said that she and Peter confronted Indrani about her having a daughter where, Indrani said "that's rabbish, it's not true". We then get to hear the side of this story from Indrani herself where she first stated that " I didn't feel that it was the right time for vidhie to know" she then changed the story immediately saying the she "actually" didn't know that Sheena and vidhie talked only after she got arrested. Just so that people wouldn't attack her for not saying the truth immediately. What a joke.
It's not a "bizarre case" as they claim. It's a case where a murderer controls everyone using money. It's as simple as that.
And instead of having the show named after the victim, Sheena the one who was hurt in the first place, it was named after the murderer and gave her an audience where in the first place it should have been show that shows how evil that woman is and showcases the so called "buried truth" like the title suggests. It's very sad that we live in a world where if you have money and power you can get away with anything even murder.
Kaizoku oujo (2021)
Should've been called the crying princess instead
When I first read the name of this anime , I expected a strong fl and of course a pirate as the title promises. Well I got neither. In fact her and the rest of her friends did not have anything to do with being a pirate. Just because you travel using a boat that doesn't make you a pirate.
In the first episode we got introduced to our fl, fena. A person who has gone through so much in the past and the present, and is about to get sold, yet the way she acts don't convey that all, I really don't know how to explain it. You'll get what i mean the moment you watch the first episode.
She is supposedly "special", that's what they hint to in most episodes and we don't get know in what way until the last two episodes. Imagine.
The whole time I was watching this show, I had one conclusion, that if this girl were to have a power of some sort it'd be crying and just being a burden to people. After she got saved by the ml for the hundredth time, he got shot, the rest of the crew stepped in later to help them both. MS GIRL JUST PUT A TOWEL ON HIS HEAD AND THE CREW WERE LIKE " FENA SAVED HIM" HOW ?!!
Oh and remember when I said that there were hints that fena was special, ahh yes it turns out that this world all of a sudden had magic. And when did we get to know that? THE LAST TWO EPISODES!!
WHERE IS THE BUILD UP ?? And it just doesn't make sense how the crew would risk their lives for fena even though they've barely known her. Again we ask the famous question, WHERE IS THE BUILD UP! Ok bye.
Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV (2016)
Mid
I haven't played the game so maybe that's why I didn't enjoy the show as much as others.
The time line was a bit confusing to me, I felt lost in almost the whole series. The plot was good for a quick binge but it's not something that you'll remember for a long time. I have to say that I found episode 2 the most entertaining among all of them, the rest seemed ok to me. And I can't seem to decide whether I like the ml noctis or not He seemed spoiled to me, idk he looked sad since he was a kid even though everyone treated him very well, I first assumed that his father was cruel but that wasn't the case at all and then there's this situation when ignis comes to clean his messed up house and doesn't even get a simple thank you from noctis in return I know it's his job but saying thank you wouldn't harm.
Gyeongiroun Somun (2020)
Meh
It was fine. There are some plot holes though, for example why did the bad guy kill the girl ( I think her name is Kim) in the first place and since he killed so many other people and was able to cover his crimes so easily every single time I don't get why this girl was that much of a big deal. It's not like she's the only one he killed.
The action scenes are good but embarrassing at times I honestly kept cringing at the scenes where they jumped idk.
The comedy will make you chuckle from time to time so that's good too. And like many other reviewers on here I thought that this show had sooo many crying scenes i dont mind sad scenes every now and then but with this show in almost every episode there had to be a crying scene which was a bit annoying honestly.
Mushikaburi-hime (2022)
Don't waste your time
Fl is so annoying, she keeps crying all the time and always seems sad for no reason for most of the time. There is a fine line between being naive and stupid, this Fl is clearly stupid she literally trusts a girl who constantly threw insults at her and agreed to go with her to checkout a shady castle mind you the Fls friend also warned her from the girl. Oh and she's insecure for most of the show and always makes scenarios of ml leaving her in her head then proceeds keep her distance from him and be sad as if her made up scenarios happened in real life even though the guy always mentions how he loved her since he was a kid. Ms girl literally told him to postpone the wedding because a 10 YEAR OLD told her that she wasn't fit to be the prince's wife, like WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ?
Only gave it two because of the animation was nice.
Maeumui sori (2016)
Great to pass time
If you don't have anything to watch, I think this show is great to pass time. It's a fun and silly show, no high stakes no stress just a good time.
However, unlike some of the reviews that I've read, in my opinion I don't see this show "hilarious" yes it had some funny moments that made me laugh out loud but also had moments that weren't that much funny to me nevertheless by the end of almost all the episodes I had a smile on my face.
Overall, it's a lighthearted series that I really enjoyed watching and would one hundred percent recommend if you are in the mood for a silly and tiny bit cringy show :).
Kaze ga tsuyoku fuiteiru (2018)
Definitely would recommend
Given that I rarely watch sports anime, I was a bit skeptical about watching this one. And my doubts rose even more when I didn't like the first few episodes because I was not quite fond of the main protagonist kakero, he seemed annoying and arrogant at the beginning but as I continued which I'm glad I did I grew fond of him along with the other nine players. I liked this anime because instead of only focusing on the main two protagonists and throwing in the supporting characters, we got to know about the supporting characters on a deeper level almost as that of the main characters. It was also realistic as they portray the reality that even though we work hard at times it doesn't mean that we will definitely win and be at the top instead we can try next time. And even though the plot is nothing too outstanding or crazy it dives into deep topics and explains how the meaning of running may differ to different individuals.
In conclusion, nothing too crazy if you want a quick fun and cozy anime here's this one to watch.
Pluto (2023)
An unexpected surprise
I went into this anime blindly and Im glad I did so cuz since I usually go for action anime I don't think that the idea of watching a sci-fi mystery anime would've appealed to me.
I decided to watch this anime solely because I thought that it was an action anime about a boy with super powers and I did NOT expect it to be this good for sure much less expect it to make me cry.
I really really really enjoyed watching this anime, And even though the episodes were longer than the usual 20 minutes anime episodes there is not a moment where I felt bored or tired from the story. Each episode only kept me more curious as to what will happen on the next one.
The plot, The mystery and the uniqueness within each character in the anime are what make this anime special. It's so fascinating that the robots who are claimed to not have feelings are the ones whom seemed more human than the humans themselves, the ones that I felt attached to the most and even cried for.
Gesicht is my favorite character, the way his character unravels where he gets to know the secrets of what really happened kept me on edge the whole time.
And Maybe it's just my problem since I love action but My only complaint is that I wished if there were more details in the fight scenes and not for them to only show us who lost and won the fight especially since I cared for the characters I really wanted to know how each one of them resisted.
Nevertheless, loved this anime and I feel no amounts of words will do it justice so just watch it only then you'll understand.
Kizoku Kourin: Prince of Legend (2020)
A fun watch
I really liked it honestly.
I was smiling for almost the entire movie. It was funny, light hearted and cute. A fun predictable movie that I enjoyed watching.
Alsooo the cast were beautiful, the female lead was pretty cute as well as the males leads. I had so many second male leads syndromes while watching this, and yes I said leads with as S cuz they're so many. I'm just a little disappointed that she didn't end up with the one whom I was rotting for, tho I knew from the beginning that she won't end up with him as the movie as I mentioned before was so predictable it was clear whom she will choose at the end.
Nonetheless really enjoyed this movie.
About Time (2013)
Great cozy movie
Honestly, when I first saw the trailer I had low hopes for this one and thought that it's one of those overhyped movies that became a trend for some reason, but oh boy I was wrong.
About time isn't solely about romance and time travel, it's about much more. It's about family, father-son relationships, friendships, and love. It's about how even our simplest moments lead us to the places we are in in present.
The acting, the story , the chemistry and most importantly the way they delivered the message was beyond wonderful. Although the life advice of "live your life as if it was your last" might be one those cliche advices that you hear all the time, this movie presents it in a way that makes you understand the meaning of it without it being forceful. It Shows you how to appreciate every moment you go through even though sometimes you wish if you could travel back in time and make things better or even relive those moments at times. Appreciate your moments because those moments exactly are what makes you who you are today.
I also loved how the movie was unpredictable. I kept wondering what could happen next throughout the film, it was interesting till the end.
I gave it an eight because I didn't like the fact that when he accidentally saw his first crush and approached her, he talked about her rejection which seemed a bit like he wasn't so content with what he already had and also the fact that he didn't mention that he had a girlfriend and accepted to follow her to her home even though it was clearly obvious what she was indicating to. I know for a fact that he loves Mary but at those scenes I was a bit of questioning that fact. Nevertheless good watch.
Dororo (2019)
Had high hopes but was disappointed
This show unfortunately is overrated.
Don't get me wrong, the plot was interesting at the beginning. I really loved it. It's just that I was disappointed by everything else.
The animation was good at the first 10 episodes or so nothing too crazy but it was enough to let you enjoy the anime. But after that the quality seemed to drop, like there was this scene where hiyakimaru was running in a forest and I kid you not it was SO BAD I had to rewatch it to make sure I wasn't imagining.
The fight scenes were not exciting honestly. It had this same pattern which was being repeated over and over which basically was hiyakimaru looking for a monster, finding it and killing it after every other two episodes. It got so boring I was counting the episodes left so that I could get over this show.
The plot holes were too many as well, why did Dororos parents hide the fact the dororo is a girl?who is the old guy who seemed to always bump into the two leads? He mentioned that he was a samurai as well at the last episode but we never got to really know his story. What happened to the rice miyo gave hiyakimaru ? What was the motive of the demons in the first place ?
The ending was bad as well, like we never got to know what happened regarding the war, how was dororo exactly planning to build a new country, WILL THEY EVER MEET AGAIN ? Why did he leave without saying goodbye in the first place. Will hiyakimaru ever know that dororo was in fact a girl?
Disappointing. I REALLY had high hopes for this one.
Love, Rosie (2014)
Not bad, not good
The movie being predictable isn't the issue here.
I just didn't like the fact that whenever the main leads got into a relationship the other partner "SHOCKINGLY" was in fact a cheater or a bad person.
Also in the end when he just ended his marriage and went after Rosie and explained he ended did it just because and I quote " we both knew it wasn't right" or something like that. If you knew then why get married in the first place ?!! It didn't seem fair to me to toss the partners away like nothing just for the leads to be together. Ok the other partners were cheaters but what about Bethany? She didn't do anything bad to any of them, or was it because she was "popular and famous" does that give them the right to treat her the way they did.
Its not just that part where they mistreat the partners. It happens in many other occasions. For example when Rosie finally meets Alex in Boston, they have fun party whatever than Rosie attempts to kiss him fully aware that he's in a relationship. That was not cool at all.
Apart from that the story was fine ig, not bad but not good either :)
Cheese in the Trap (2016)
New story, disappointing ending
I would have given it an even lower rating if not for the new story which we don't usually see in kdramas.
Although the series was interesting to the last episode, I was not quite satisfied with it. I just don't understand how yoo jeong is likable, yes people didn't treat him well but the doesn't justify nor gives him the right to treat people the way he did. For example, getting inho beaten just because he heard him saying that he's "pathetic" when they were just KIDS, it's normal for kids to be saying mean stuff without thinking through it most of the time, but NO yoo jeong did not let that slide and was the reason inhos hand was broken which made him unable to pursue his passion anymore.
I agree what inho did was wrong but he did not deserve all that. It was just too much. And the same thing happened to many people after that.
I was surprised how the female was okay with his actions. She even forgave him for being the reason she was stalked because " he didn't think that the stalker would take it to far". It reached to a point where honestly I felt she was not a good person either. For example there was this girl who admired Seoul and just wanted to be her friend and be seen by her, but whenever she asked seol to hang out or eat together, Seoul would turn her down in a way or other than proceeds to act like the naive kind girl. Maybe seol and yoo jeong are suitable for each other after all.
THE SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME is REAL in this show, I honestly loved the dynamics between them more than that of the male lead, it seemed more natural and real. Not to mention inho was a great person
The ending was disappointing as well in which we did not even know if yoo jeong came back into Seouls boring life again.
Overall meh.
Miss Bala (2019)
Good ig
It was not bad and not great either, as it didn't live up-to my expectations.
In full honesty it didn't deserve the hype, some people said that they've watched this movie more that 20 times so I expected more but was disappointed. Then again people have different tastes.
In my opinion the plot was a bit predictable and boring for example before even watching the movie I predicted that the male lead will die and that's what happened exactly.
There are also parts in the movie that I wanted to understand more about but the details were left out, for example how come they concluded that Isabel was the spy? What happened to the fbi agent who was threatening Gloria ? WHY did lino become a cartel? He said that he lived in America then went back to Mexico which was the place he grew up in then decided that he wanted to " take what was rightfully his" like who was he ? Wasn't he just normal kid ? Why did he turn out the way he was? Will the people how corrupted the "police chief" was ? As he was described as the "hero" who died trying to save the girls that were trafficked when he was the reason.
The answers to those questions should've been in the movie instead the movie appeared to me as shallow and with no deep meaning.
Hidden Strike (2023)
Meh
I did not like the story honestly, The villain didn't even seem that strong and worth the hassle and dare I say that this movie was not only boring but cringe worthy too. They kept saying jokes doing things that were meant to be "funny" but was anything but that. Watched the movie at the cinema and i don't think I've heard anyone laugh through out most of the movie and there were a LOT of jokes, I guess that says enough about the humor in this one.
However the fight scenes were okay and I somewhat enjoyed the last part of the movie which is the only reason I'm giving this a 3 star.
It's not worth the watch though, it was a waste of time and money I must say. And if you want to watch it just wait a few weeks and watch it online instead.
Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 3: World Heroes' Mission - Tabidachi (2022)
Coming from a huge mha fan
LOVED the animation however the plot seemed very boring to me honestly. The opening wasn't interesting either.
We didn't get to understand the side of rodys father story and how did he end up dying exactly, how did they know the cop who was a part of the attack, and most importantly HOW was rody able to attach the key even though they clearly showed that his quirk vanished when he collapsed, and all of a sudden the bird was on top of the key.
I don't like the fact the deku mastered using the whip quirk even though it just suddenly appeared in one the episodes in season 5 and his progress wasn't revealed whatsoever, just all of a sudden he's so good at using it.
I also hoped for something new and different in the fight scenes of deku however that did not happen, he kept repeating the same attack until it somehow worked.
Overall, the movie had so many shortcomings and holes in the plot, to me at least. As an mha fan I'm disappointed with the movie but I don't regret watching it :)
