hmmm...well recently you might have noticed i've been writing a lot on japanese drama. well actually the latest were all written on the same day cos right now, i'm in the mood. and i had completed those dramas recently too. well recently i've been in the mood for japanese dramas, drifting away from taiwanese dramas.
but anyway, there's also a manga for this with the same title. i've not read the manga as well as the art didn't really interest me but now, after watching the tv series, i might decide to give it a try after my mood for watching dramas go down.
this is the type of drama i enjoy, with some action and clever tricking hehehe there was good chemistry between the leads as well. frankly speaking i did not enjoy the movie as much. i had hoped fervently that it would be a sequel to the tv series but it was totally on its own although it's understandable since there is a time limit to movies so it's hard to cram everything in.
but the tv series was great. the story progressed gradually, although i wish there would be a next season although it seems unlikely. the ending felt incomplete for me but despite that, it is a good series. yamapi is cool here. you can find this on dramacrazy.

i have seen this manga around for some time but was too lazy to read it. then i saw the drama, and ohh the guy and girl were good on my tired eyes, especially yamapi(yamashita tomohisa) this is a sports drama, well it focuses more on relationships i guess. but i didn't think i'd enjoy it so much. it's such a pure relationship and it not only focuses on them but their friends too. it helps tht it has a really nice and sweet ost, this drama is complete with english subs on dramacrazy enjoy!!!

Hero (japanese drama)

Kohei Kuryu is a former juvenile delinquent who drops out of junior high and goes on to earn a high school equivalency diploma. After passing the law board exams, Kuryu becomes a prosecutor. Not your typical prosecutor, which is quickly seen through the clothes that he wears, Kuryu possesses quick instincts and a kind of cleverness that only someone raised on the streets could have.
Maiko Amamiya is a shrewd public prosecutor who has her eyes set on passing the exam to become a deputy prosecutor and tries her best to be noticed by her boss. Kuryu, on the other hand, after earning a reputation for doing top-notch work, is transferred to Amamiya's division, and finally opens his eyes to the possibility of promotion. Unfortunately, his unprecedented work behavior abruptly brings things to a halt.
Although earning a reputation as a bad apple, the influence from Kuryu's strong pursuit of justice slowly begins to change things around him. This drama is filled with it all; love, laughs and lots of emotion.
this is one of those shows that has the perfect balance of everything. our leads have so much chemistry between them, the drama has everything, from mystery to legal stuff to comedy and romance. comedy is the best here. hehehehe this drama is complete on dramacrazy and as you all know, my recommendations always have english subs hehehe if not, how can i even understand. so enjoy!!!

i've just finished watching this series and my eyes are tear streaked. it's a good thing that i'm alone right now. this is an amazing drama, where the cast were simply wonderful. they acted so well that it made us pissed off at them, or made us shy when watching them or stupidly happy like them. and it's not just one or two who made me feel this way. everyone did, from the mother to the secretary to the kids.
this is a really sweet drama and both vic and park eun hye were wonderful. i think they had good chemistry. park eun hye managed to portray the emotions really well despite not saying anything. i bet she must have really practised on the sign language. vic was really good as well. i'm not going to spoil the whole thing but i do warn that hankies might be needed especially for those who really get into the mood. it can be a tearjerker at times. even i, one who's quite cold hearted you could say, was really touched and moved to tears.
you can find the complete series with english subtitles on veoh and tw.sugoitw.com this is definitely a recommendation. enjoy!!!

one of the most amazing and tear wrenching dramas i've watched so far. mann my heart nearly shattered from all the heart wrenching scenes here. of course, there were really sweet and funny scenes as well. i especially loved the ngs(no good takes hehe)
this series had everything in it. angst, drama, happiness, comedy, sadness, you name it, they had it. and most of them were already in the first few episodes.
all the characters were deep, even the supporting cast. loved it. my only wish was that they could have made the ending even better than this. sighhh  but all in all,if you want to see something sweet and true with some amazing soundtracks and ost, i will definitely give this a huge up.
vaness wu and ady an were amazing as ren guang xi and liang mu cheng. their little kid, xiao le in the drama, was cute and amazing. tht was amazing acting from someone so young. the supporting were really amazing. i loved guang xi's mother too especially as her character matured later on. she portrayed her really well,and the rare times, we saw her smile, it was beautiful. although liang mu cheng was really simple and wore simple clothes, it made us feel for her with her sacrifices although at times, i jus wished that she could be a little more selfish rather than just thinking about everyone.

basically,i just loved the story. i watched this immediately when my computer was turned on. the drama is complete and online with english subs on youtube so enjoy people.

It Started with a Kiss Season 2/They Kiss Again (taiwanese drama, manga)

The sequel of It Started With A Kiss begins with Xiang Qin and Zhi Shu's wedding and honeymoon.

Even after marriage, they experience problems and interferences within their marriage such as mistaken pregnancy, misunderstandings, and new found jealousies. Xiang Qin and Zhi Shu switch to medical school to become nurse and doctor. During that time, Zhi Shu meets new rivals who wish to outdo him and Xiang Qin makes four new friends, and one of them likes her and wishes to replace Zhi Shu.
How will their lives turn out to be?
Well I know I'm starting with season 2 but that's because I've actually finished season 1 in the manga itself. i had delayed on this series because truthfully, i'm not into too much drama and our main guy tends to keep bullying our heroine, although she is a little on the dumb side...well maybe really dumb.
thus due to that, i skipped on watching season 1 on video but i really enjoyed season 2 as i hadn't finished that on manga, and also, the story, although there was the usual drama and all, but what really attracted me to it was the chemistry between the leads.
they portrayed their roles to perfection and their love seemed so real. they were both so comfortable with each other. not only that, even the other casts were really good, the family, friends, doctors and nurses. no one looked fake or awkward.
joe cheng's portrayal of zhi shu was so good; a genius of iq 200, quiet without much expression and cold. sighhhh too good. ariel lin is one of my favourite actresses. and she scored even more points for me here. her portrayal of xiang qin as the naive, dumb but bubbly girl so hopelessly in love with zhi shu, hehehe mannn fabulous. she did her role really well, without letting us viewers get irritated with all her crying and shouting and all. it was actually endearing. especially her day dreams grins zhi shu was really coo with the expressionless face, but once in a while, we'd see him with tender expressions on his face when he looked at xiang qin.
i bet every girl's heart swooned then. hehehehe watching this video made me grin like silly the whole time i watched it. too bad i haven't heard anything of a season 3. they said there might not be any as they wanted to stay true to the manga. the mangaka died without completing the story, so sad. but hope she's in peace. she wrote such a great story. there's even an anime of this show.
i would definitely recommend this for anyone who's really into romantic comedies with some light drama. this drama was aired few years ago but still, there are people who are viewing it even today. you can find the whole series on youtube online, completed and english subbed. enjoy!!!

Ra One (hindi movie)

A video game developer's world spirals out of control when his shape-shifting indestructible virtual creation becomes all too real.
i wanted to see this movie as it looked interesting in the trailers. we don't see much of this type of indian movies, futuristic, action, science fiction, etc. so you can understand me when i say i was interested as to how our hero literally became a superhero. i wondered how the story went, what exactly was it, and why.
well, i have finally finished watching the movie and i have to admit, at no point did i feel like i wanted to fast forward it. yes, since i watched it online, there were some parts that were too dark; many in fact. but ignoring that, as i continued watching the movie, it kept me glued, made me strain my ears as to why all whatever was going on was happening.
although futuristic gizmo and science fiction is not really my cup of tea, i enjoyed myself, especially with the humor at times. especially the intro. had me there for a while, but being someone who plays mmorpgs occassionally, i began to get an inkling of what was happening. hehehe and voila, what i thought was true lol.
it also helped that the songs were really catchy especially 'chammak challo' and 'dildara'. i especially loved the latter, which is a mix of stand by me as well. the tune really went well. the former is so catchy whenever i hear it, it makes me nod my head and my fingers and legs start their rythmic disposition ;p
although i wouldn't say you must go and watch it, i'd definitely say it was worth my time watching it. at least it wasn't a waste like some which i'll not name ehehe
