200 Pounds Beauty - 미녀는 괴로워

What did I like about it? (SPOILER!) I thought that this movie might influence overweight Korean teens and put pictures into their head how much better life is if one is skinny and pretty, but when Jenny talked about how much she misses Kang Hanna, the person she was before, and how beauty isn't everything, I teared up a bit. Her speech was really beautiful and I hope it everyone who watched the drama, no matter asian or not, realize real beauty too (:

What did I NOT like about it? Even if Jenny told the truth in the end, she lied throughout the movie saying she is all natural. (SPOILER!) The scene where she even denied to know her own father, because he was one confused old man (Alzheimer + kind of blind) made me angry!

Conclusion? Nice movie with a little comedy feel to it. Shows the hardships about plastic surgery and teaches one about real beauty. (:

The Man from Nowhere - 아저씨

What did I like about it? Everything? Okay, that's probably a lie, since there's always something I hate or dislike, but still, this movie had it all: great storyline, sexy dude who turns into an okay-ish dude when he cuts his hair (D:), sexy bad guy, sexy american korean, amazing 13 year old actress, blood, action, short ultra sad side story (REALLY short)... 

What did I NOT like about it? Won Bin cut his hair. (SPOILER!) That amazing American dude died. The other bad guy who I fell in love with died too. Creepy old lady. Big Fight scene (I hate that I love it). 

Conclusion? It's amazing even though I'm not a fan of the action genre at all! I thought it would be as boring like those Jackie Chan movies, but I was pleasantly surprised that I love the movie (:

Panda and Hedgehog - 판다양과 고슴도치

What did I like about it? Cakes, sweets, cakes, Lee Donghae, cakes, cakes, did I mention cakes? Ah, I think you get that I like cakes! How come they look so damn delicious and make me want to eat my laptop? To say something else about it: cute, colorful, good-looking cast, happy music, disney vibe (:

What did I NOT like about it? Ever heard of the term 'makjang'? No? 막장 (makjang) = stereotypical soap opera, and that's exactly what this drama turns into more and more with each passing episode. It started of really cute and sweet, but than that weird love triangle gets thrown in and like in every other sappy love story there's a dramatic turn of events once everything gets revealed... 

  (UN)necessary info? I tried baking some of the things Donghae did and.. they didn't turn out half as good as they looked like o.o Sad but true story ):

  Conclusion? Lee Donghae and delicious looking cakes all conviction aside.. this drama was just another stereotype series.. They could have made it so much better /:

71: Into the Fire - 포화 속으로

My absolute favorite movie of all time! (I love it more than Titanic, and I watch that almost every week..)

What  did I like love about it? Well, the reason why I watched it in the first place was non other than Choi Seunghyun, better known as T.O.P! I didn't want to watch it at first, cause to be honest, I'm just not a fan of war movies /: why I watched it nevertheless, I'll state in the next paragraph.. All the emotions.. all the actors did amazing jobs at portraying their characters! And the last thing I can say I loved about the movie, you can watch it in Korean with subtitles, English or (my native language) German (: To be quite honest, I love the German version ._. Of course, the voice actor for TOP wasn't perfect, though I really liked it^^ 

What did I NOT like about it? Pretty simple, that it's based on true events. But then again, that's the reason why I watched it, even though I hate war movies.. You see, I only ever hears about war and what happens there, and it urged me to actually see what's going on. And let me tell you one thing, I'm so disappointed at all human beings. Why start a war? I watched that movie almost for the 20th time now, still I don't want to understand why north Korea started that war. I don't want to spoil anything, but like the title already says, 71 people had to give their lives, if they hadn't done that, south Korea wold now be in the hands of the north! Writing about this fills my eyes with tears, yet again ):

(UN)necessary info? Oh yes this IS unnecessary, but OMG TOP looks so hawt! seriously! He's all dirty and.. well they're in war so.. but still he manages to look like a god!

Conclusion? Watch this movie! Even if you don't like movies about war like I do, it's worth it's time, believe me. It'll open your eyes, and makes you proud of the south. I never gave war any seconds thoughts, but this movie made me realize how big of a deal it really is, and how many people it affects ):

Takumi-Kun Series 5: That, Sunny Blue Sky - あの、晴れた青空

Last movie of the series, and with that last post of Takumi-Kun (;

What did I like about it? Almost 10 effin minutes of S E X jiggady jig (; It's so passionate and sweet! Not that you actually see that they do IT, but.. they both are without a t-shirt (dunno what's underneath of the blankets though :p) and they kiss each other really really much and with tongue (;D) and the faces Takumi makes say more than thousands words (: In general, there are many cute scenes where they peck each others lips or hug.. all in all, so much fluff! 

What did I NOT like about it? Gii .. blonde hair .. o.o also, unnecessary jealousy! It was just stupid and childish.. I'm glad they got through that, though^^ The thing I didn't like the most though.. That one scene where Gii almost 'rapes' him, but in the end it's not rape, cause he likes it.. Now my question is: what was that? Was this the same as the last scene in the first movie, but now re-acted with this actors? Me=Confused >.< 

(Un)necessary info? Anyone of you familiar with the anime Ouran High School Host Club? The school uniforms they wear in the Takumi-Kun series look awfully familiar, don't you think so too? .... (;

Conclusion? Cute, cuter, Takumi-Kun Series 5! I enjoyed watching it, though I wouldn't spent my time to watch it for a second time :p

Takumi-Kun Series 4: Pure - ピュア

FINALLY I can talk about my favorite movie from the series :D

What did I like about it? Big Picture on the top left: Ladies and Gentleman, MISU ARATA! My one true love (when it comes to Japanese men :p) He's so pretty and I could nonstop fan-girl about him, but I'll stop now^^ Favorite scene in this movie: CANDY KISS :D You'll know what I mean when you've watched it! Same as the second movie, this part doesn't tell much about Takumi and Gii and focuses mainly on Misu and Shingyouji (:

What did I NOT like about it? This may sound really weird now, but even though it's my favorite part of the series, it's also one of the most boring ones o.o This hour and a half I spent watching it seemed like an eternity! Another thing, it's not that I didn't like it at all, but the last scene with Takumi ang Gii.. The cheesy thing he said about wishing and bla bla, again you'll know what I mean if you watch it :p

(UN)necessary info? Tanabata (: Heard of it before? I'm not one who believes in stories like this, yet I think this one is really cute ^.^ Before the movie begins there's a short summary about it, for it plays quite a role in this part!

Takumi-kun Series 3: Details of Beauty - 美貌のディテイル

I'm gonna keep it pretty short for this one..

What did I like about it? uhm.. Let's skip that today, okay? >.>

What did I NOT like about it? Everything? I was bored throughout the whole movie... There wasn't much skin-ship - though if my memory doesn't betray me, I think they kissed in the last 10 minutes or so.. - but yeah, anyways there wasn't much interaction between Takumi and Gii. Reason? Different dorm rooms and Gii didn't want people to know that the two of them are a couple...

Conclusion? Sorry, but I was so disappointed with the movie! Though, a new character appears and he's HAWT! He has a more important role in the part 4 of the series (;

Takumi-Kun Series 2: Nijiiro no Garasu - 虹色の硝子

Watched the first movie and decided to try the second one? But, WAIT a second.. Did.. Did Takumi and Gii always look like that? I'm not going crazy, or am I? :o

Exactly my thoughts for the first 10 minutes until I realized that they changed the main actors. Like seriously?!

What did I like? Don't like spoilers? Skip this paragraph! YAOI!! YOAI YAOI YAOI YAOI YAOI!! Those sweet little kisses (four, if i remember correctly >.>), which weren't much more than touching each others lips without moving them, but still it satisfied my needy yaoi loving heart :D And.. that one scene.. you know.. jiggady jig (; meow! That's all I'm gonna say.

What did I NOT like? I don't know if it's just me, but I seriously don't like it AL ALL if there's suddenly another actor playing the same character. So confusing! (At least they were both pretty). Another thing. What would the second movie be without someone dying, right? :D Though, I cried 'cause it was really sad... e.e ... Also, the whole jealousy thing was too much I think. And the ending was, blehh, I puked a rainbow! What other reaction would you expect from a crimi/thriller lover like me, right? (; 

Conclusion Even though this movie was mainly about the dying dude and the actors were exchanged,I still liked it. Was it better than the first? To be honest, I can't answer that. Both were okay-ish. 

(UN)necessary info? Wanna know exactly WHY they changed the actors? Have you seen the first movie? Have you seen how the /kisses/ they exchanged were so obviously fake? (they didn't even try to make them seem real -.-) Apparently, the two dudes who played Takumi and Gii in the first part didn't like the idea of kissing each other.. Why take a role in a yaoi movie if you have something about kissing your own gender?! Sorry, but I don't understand them x.x

Takumi-Kun Series 1: Soshite, Harukaze ni Sasayaite - そして春風にささやいて

  *sigh* Takumi-kun.. It's a lovely movie, really. But there are so many things I didn't like about the series - in generell. I'll tell more about it in the following posts, though :p

What did I like? The actors (; No really, they are all eye candy! Ah but else; Takumi plays the violin and I loved the scenes where he did just that. The sound of this instrument makes me all smiley (:

What did I NOT like? So, so much. The thing that annoys me the most though, why is everyone in an all-boys school in japan (if it's a yaoi movie!) gay? Just why? Make it seem more realistic and let some dudes talk about girls or give them some girlfriends, I don't care; but to make everyone seemingly gay.. it's so stereotypical for Japanese GLBT movies. Another stereotype thing: someone dies. Okay, here the person was already dead and didn't die throughout the movie, but like always it was dramatic. Too dramatic. Also, Hayama Takumi has a 'human phobia' and I understand the reasons why he has this and everything, but.. suddenly Gii appears and doesn't have to do anything besides being nice and charming, and his phobia disappears? Nope, I don't buy that >.< 

Conclusion Even though I had to say so many negatives things about the movie, don't misunderstand me. That's just the 'charm' about Japanese gay movies, I guess :p I really enjoyed watching it. I've watched so many movies of those kinds, and even if I can't help myself but complain about them, I've come to like them a lot (:

(UN)necessary info? Japan and Homosexuality. It's not illegal (like in other parts of Asia), but of course there are people who are against it. Did any of you realize that there aren't any gay dramas in japan, only movies and animes? That's because, dramas are a weekly thing and played at times kids could see it... Along the lines of, don't teach your kids that it's okay and normal to be gay >.< But you won't be hated as much as somewhere else in Asia  if you're well-known and come out of the closes. In fact, there are a few openly gay people in japan, men and women, and a few came out as bisexual (:

Attack on the Pin-Up Boys - 꽃미남 연쇄 테러사건

SUPER JUNIOR FANS LISTEN UP!

If you love the boys don't even read this post, just go and watch this movie! Doesn't matter what I have to say about it if you love them anyways ;D

To everyone else: oh em gee! THIS is the most hilarious movie I've ever seen! And I liked it :O I'm not very fond of funny movies or the genre comedy in general, but this movie makes it on my top10 list for sure!

I can tell a little bit about the plot without spoiling anything for those who don't know for sure if they want to watch it. 

Someone, a mysterious person, attacks the flower boys (pretty boys) of different schools on the 14th of every month. Kibum, the narrator of the story :p, tries to find out who this person is. He predicts that either Kangin, Siwon or Heechul will be the next victims. 

I guess you want to know what I mean with attack, right? Ehm.. the person throws a bag full of feces on them ._. GROSS! But hilarious xD

The movie made me fall in love with Heechul, that boy is genius! Not being biased there...>.> Also, guest appearance by Key and Suho^^ Kyuhyun wasn't in it though, and you won't see Leeteuk either.. or will you? (;

All in all, no matter if you love super junior or not (I don't like them either, besides Chullie of course!), watch the movie! I swear it will make your day :D

No Regret - 후회하지 않아

The title pic looks cute, right? :D

But.. the movie itself.. I can't make up my mind. Did I like it? Did I hate it?

Obviously, it's about a gay couple, kind of. 

This guy, named Su-min, has to leave his orphanage at the age of 18 and, after a various other jobs, takes a job at a jiggady-jig bar host bar. 

There's this one scene you shouldn't really watch with someone else being in the room, IF you think it's awkward to watch two man having *cough* sexual intercourse and your mom siting next to you watching it with you, that is :p

What else to say about the movie..? Someone dies, someone wants to kill someone, gay people, jealousy, hate, love, you know, the usual stuff..

I guess I can say that I really enjoyed watching the movie - the two boys men are so hawt! - but the ending.. let's say it's quite stupid.  NO! Not just the ending! The last 20 minutes are so confusing ._.

Even though the ending was.. weird.. did I regret watching this movie? No Regret at all (see what I did there?) :p

Roommates - 디데이

4 Horror Tales. I wanted to watch all 4, but after I saw this one, which is the 3rd by the way, I couldn't bring myself to watch the other 3 .

The movie takes place in a school (woah.. so unexpected.. -.-) and the students there study day in and day out to for a college entrance exam. The main characters are four girls and they are as different as night and day. The most rebellious of the four starts to have visions about things that happened quite some time ago in this school and in the end everything replays itself.

To be honest, since almost every Korean horror movie is about some students being in school and all that jazz, I got bored easily. It's not that the movie itself is bad, but the scenes are sometimes far too confusing and the ending was just.. And to top that, nothing scared me - even scary movie scares the sh*t out of me, so..

I don't even remember anymore why I watched this in the first place, but I kinda regret to have wasted almost 2 hours of my precious time..

But to say at least one thing positive about the movie, the acting was pretty good. I liked the innocent girl with the glasses and the rebellious girl; they did a good job with their characters. 

A friend of mine watched the movie a few months back too, and she liked it. I guess, I wanted to tell you this, because you should try and watch it, even if I didn't like it. Everyone's taste is different and experiences things differently^^

L: Change the World (Death Note 3)

Another one for all Death Note's fans .. kind of :p

It's not necessary to watch Death Note 1&2 nor do you have to know the anime. If you have seen the Death Note 2 though, you know that *spoiler* L died in the end, right?

This movie tells about the 23 days of his life. It's rated PG-16, I guess because of this one gross scene *shudder*.  In the last 23 days, L becomes a babysitter :D okay.. not really, but he has to take care of two kids and one of them is non other than a cute little boy whom he gives the name 'Near' (:

Well anyways, the main plot is about a infection that is hundred times worse than Ebola. Bad people want to infect everyone but can't do that without the antidote and bla bla bla L is the hero in the end :p 

It's a really good movie and THE END!! I died, okay?! Even if you knew from the beginning what will happen, the things he says destroy one D: I cried so hard!

Death Note 2: The Last Name - デスノート the Last name

Remember my post on Sunday? About Death Note? This is the sequel; though you can't really call it a sequel for it just continues where the first movie ended...

If you watched the first movie already then you know that it ended with Light being introduced to L, and L being the sexy human being he is, eating some (gross!) chips :p

I like the this movie better than the first, to be honest. I don't really remember all the details about the first; well I don't remember everything about this one either (>.<), BUT I definitely could tell someone more about the second movie :D

One thing for sure, it's so much funnier! I laughed so much it hurt xD You all remember the part in the anime where L went with Light to his college, wore a mask and later on Misa visits Light on campus? SO MUCH FUNNIER in the movie!!

And know to the most depressing and sad part *Spoiler for those who didn't watch the anime!!!*  L's death. You still remember that, right? I cried so much in the anime, but after his dead in this movie, I was blinded by all my tears! I sounded like some whale and my mom had this judging look on her face -.- ah but anyways, it's so heartbreaking ):

Two Weddings and a Funeral - 두 번의 결혼식과 한 번의 장례식

Now you all know it -> I support homosexuality! If someone has a problem with this, don't bother to read this post because *whispers* it's about gay people! :O

On to the movie, one word: amazing.  If you know just a little bit about Korea, you might already know about their 'hate' for homosexuality. Of course, were in the 21th century and more and more people are open-minded, but we all know that it's still not liked to be seen or heard about in Korea. 

I've watched many Asian movies with the main topic homosexuality and I can safely say that this one is my favorite (:  

Has anyone of you heard about Kim Jo Kwang Su? If not, let me tell you something about him. He's openly gay and will marry his boyfriend in September! Ain't that just amazing? On top of that, he's not just some random Korean dude, no, he's director, producer and screenwriter! 'Two Weddings and a Funeral' is just one of a few movies he directed and he does an awesome job in what he's doing.

To tell you something about the movie (which this post should actually be about anyways >.<), it's about this woman and this guy who are both homosexual but married each other, so the woman could adopt a child she and her long-time girlfriend always wanted. 

As you might already wonder about because the movie title says so, yes someone will die ): And I couldn't even shed one tear about it even though I'm a crybaby and cry about almost everything >.>  Reason? I was f*cking angry! You know, what would a movie about homosexuality be without homophobic people? -.- I wish they'll all burn in hell (sorry, but this had to be said!) I get really defensive and aggressive when it comes to those ignorant people.

So that's everything that's to say about the movie I guess. But to wrap it all up, it makes you laugh, (maybe) cry, aggressive and smile a lot. The actors are amazing and I'm really amazed that they didn't care about other people's opinions and just played homosexuals (:
