  • Our Time Will Come

    401. Our Time Will Come

    Chinese Movie - 2017

    2.0

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 2 hrs 11 min
    Notes:   Eddie Peng only good thing in this movie. Seemed like a bunch of random unrelated scenes tossed together.  Based on true facts, events & characters in history.

  • The Villain Who I Love

    402. The Villain Who I Love

    Korean Movie - 2017

    2.0

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 22 min
    Notes:  Total waste of time.  No cast listed on MDL ...no wonder, I wouldn't want my name attached to this either. FL2 used FL1's feelings to help her win back the asst teacher.

  • Ploy

    403. Ploy

    Thai Movie - 2007

    1.5

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 2 hrs 
    Notes:  Total waste of time. Very little dialogue.  The hair on the little girl could have been a character all by itself.

  • Love on the Cloud

    404. Love on the Cloud

    Chinese Movie - 2014

    3.0

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 2 hrs 
    Notes:   Only thing good about this movie is the shar pei dog. The dog's excitement @ reuniting w/ his dog sitter was Youtube worthy. Kinda sad -1 friend dies, 1 choses career over friendship, girl becomes popular but eventually hooks back up to dog sitter.

  • A Carta Escarlate

    405. A Carta Escarlate

    Korean Movie - 2004

    1.5

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 1 hr 59 min        
    Notes:  FL actress committed suicide the same year this movie came out. Cheating police captain & murdering wife who get's off scott free. A few mild sex scenes, 1 LGBT moment. If capt was able to survive why did he shoot his mistress when she asked him too?

  • The Jade Pendant

    406. The Jade Pendant

    Hong Kong Movie - 2017

    5.5

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 1 hr 46 min        
    Notes:   Based on true historical events in CA.  Acting kinda bad. 1 artfully done very tame intimate scene.  Really turned my stomach to see humans treating other humans in a lynching hate fest.

  • City of Rock

    407. City of Rock

    Chinese Movie - 2017

    5.5

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 1 hr 59 min        
    Notes:   Didn't start liking it til putting band together started. Music was good. All unknown actors to me.  Loved final scene of hundreds of musicians playing together @ a concert. "The Box" had same multiple drum sets setup scene.

  • Vampiro Imortal

    408. Vampiro Imortal

    Korean Movie - 2022

    5.0

    (Viki)        Total = 1 hr 37 min
    Notes:   Disliked 1980's feel & FL. Concept interesting - VIDS that causes aging/sun sensitivity & an antibody can be created by abstinence. FL gave up immortality for a guy who she believes is mortal, but is a vampire. Sequel should show their secrets being revealed.

  • Beautiful Vampire: Amor Proibido

    409. Beautiful Vampire: Amor Proibido

    Korean Movie - 2018

    4.0

    (Viki)        Total = 1 hr 13 min
    Notes:   1 good kiss. A bit strange. True to cliche vampire characteristics FL liked a woman & now a man. Did he become a vampire after being bitten?  Love to see Song Kang in a sequel as a vampire!

  • Vampire Cleanup Department

    410. Vampire Cleanup Department

    Hong Kong Movie - 2017

    6.5

    (Viki)        Total = 1 hr 33 min
    Notes:   Different types of vampires was a new spin I liked.  The female vampire character was endearing & felt the love chemistry between her & trainee. Her death @ end was sad.

  • You Are My Vampire

    411. You Are My Vampire

    Korean Movie - 2014

    5.0

    (AsianCrush)        Total = 2 hrs 13 min        
    Notes:   Story was hard to follow & very disjointed. ML character just flat out strange w/little likability. Parents story should've been cut & more development of vampire/owner's daughter story given. She gets bit in end like she wants.

  • Em uma noite estrelada

    412. Em uma noite estrelada

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 9 episodes

    5.0

    On A Starry Night      
    (Viki)          Avg Dur: 54 min        Total =8 hrs  6 min      
    Notes:  Unpleasant age gap. Older female younger male.  ML character is deaf. ML & angry stalker & widowed husband actors acting were amazing. About 6 blush worthy kisses.

  • Dominar seu coração

    413. Dominar seu coração

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 35 episodes

    6.5

    (Viki)          Avg Dur: 40 min        Total =23 hrs  20 min      
    Notes:  Needed less episodes, storylines & unlikable characters.  Liked Pei Xi with his lollipops, Lin Yi getting beat up constantly by FL's BF, & FL's BF. 3rd romance of older team members was a total waste of time.  Kisses were just face plants for all 3 couples. ML's affections for FL felt weak. Growth of FL shown thru dress & hairstyle was really well done. Attempted rape consequences were not given which angers me.  Music good.

  • Bem-vindo ao Dongmakgol

    414. Bem-vindo ao Dongmakgol

    Korean Movie - 2005

    9.0

    (Viki)        Total = 2 hrs 13 min        
    Notes:   From the very start knew the ending was going to be sad. The American is the indirect cause of the bombing & he lives (UGH), all the other soldiers die, but village saved.

  • HiGH&LOW THE WORST Sequel

    415. HiGH&LOW THE WORST Sequel

    Japanese Movie - 2022

    7.0

    (Netflix)        Total = 2 hrs         
    Notes:   Oya High attacked by Senomon Tech accompanied by Kamasaka & Ebara Commercial High. Oya teams up w/ Housen Academy (Satchi) & Suzuran Boys High (Rao). Could've had a stronger storyline...maybe too many actors w/lines? Rao was fantastic especially since he is a fighter not an actor in real life. Martial artistry still a joy to watch & music goes great w/this testosterone fest.

  • HiGH&LOW THE WORST

    416. HiGH&LOW THE WORST

    Japanese Movie - 2019

    7.5

    (Netflix)        Total = 2 hrs 5 min        
    Notes:   Kidra (drug gang) & Housen (skinheads) introduced to High&Low universe.  Oya High has internal faction strife as current leader going to retire & transfer student hungry for leadership. 1 actor looks like Severus Snape. Ending soo cute - Housen's leader faints when he sees his sis cuddling up to his gang right hand man on a bench.

  • DTC  Yukemuri Junjo-hen from HiGH&LOW

    417. DTC Yukemuri Junjo-hen from HiGH&LOW

    Japanese Movie - 2018

    6.0

    (Netflix)        Total = 1 hr 42 min        
    Notes:   Story utilizes the support cast of prior movies as main leads. A few giggles & good music, but not the same magic/vibe as other movies.  This has a To Be Continued at end.

  • HiGH&LOW The Movie 3: FINAL MISSION

    418. HiGH&LOW The Movie 3: FINAL MISSION

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    7.5

    (Netflix)        Total = 1 hr 58 min        
    Notes:  SWORD bans together to keep corruption from winning the casino / gov't toxic cover up project. Smoky doesn't make it. Gang of 9 Dragons loses its oldest figure head leader who expressed distaste to current leader of their gang's current direction: using/abusing the weak, those who they protected in the past. Parkour scenes great. Music really good.

  • HiGH&LOW The Movie 2: END OF SKY

    419. HiGH&LOW The Movie 2: END OF SKY

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    7.0

    (Netflix)        Total = 2 hrs 4 min        
    Notes:  Fight against SWORD to eradicate them for casino/regeneration project continues. Doubt teams up w/ a new gang called Prison gang to challenge White Rascals, but SWORD alliance persists. 

  • HiGH&LOW: The Red Rain

    420. HiGH&LOW: The Red Rain

    Japanese Movie - 2016

    6.5

    (Netflix)        Total = 1 hr 50 min        
    Notes:  Story of the 3 martial arts badass brothers. Pink bike seat on motorcycle was a cute scene. Wished for a bit more of that comic relief. Oldest Amamyia bro is shot to death as he protects evidence.

  • HiGH&LOW The Movie

    421. HiGH&LOW The Movie

    Japanese Movie - 2016

    7.0

    (Netflix)        Total = 2 hrs 8 min        
    Notes:  History of Mugen gang & vengeance of angry ex mugen member.  Intro of 3 new extremely dangerous gangs (Doubt, Mighty Warriors, & outsider mafia) Series is like "Saints Row" video game meets "Highlander: the series" in a post apocalyptical world.

  • Road To HiGH&LOW

    422. Road To HiGH&LOW

    Japanese Movie - 2016

    7.0

    (Netflix)        Total = 1 hr  34 min        
    Notes: Introduction to all the sword gangs. A lot of martial arts, parkour, and fighting that looks realistic. Wish the leaders were all a bit more different.  All used the "Blue steel" face.

    1. high&low s1-s2
    2. road to h&l (movie recap of s1)
    3. h&l the movie
    4. h&l: the red rain (about amamiya brothers)

    4.0

    (Viki)          Avg Dur: 15 min        Total =2 hrs     (Tubi)  
    Notes:  Story was weak. If there was romance, I didn't pick up on it at all. In the end ML & his 2 cafe co-workers were returned to the living.

  • O Som de Uma Flor

    424. O Som de Uma Flor

    Korean Movie - 2015

    4.0

    (Tubi)          Total = 1 hrs  49 min        
    Notes:  Based on true facts. Age gap was creepy, but great acting & tastefulness tempered that creepiness. FL actress 28 & ML actor 52 yuck!

  • Mais Nove Meninos

    425. Mais Nove Meninos

    Korean Drama - 2014, 14 episodes

    5.5

    (Tubi)          Avg Dur: 50 min        Total = 11 hrs  40 min        
    Notes:   Doppelgangers everywhere. 19 yr old looked like Seo In Guk, 29 yr old can't put my finger on it, 39 yr old like Kim Seon Ho from "Start Up", & FL character was just like FL from "Reply 1997." ML's character was adorable, playful & super-hot w/shirt off. Storyline w/ 9 yr old was a breath of fresh air. 19 yr olds storyline was weak. Not a fan of any of the female characters, except FL & mom.

  • The Name

    426. The Name

    Korean Movie - 2020

    5.0

    (Viki)          Total = 1 hr  50 min

    Korean Movie - 2004

    5.5

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  54 min      
    Notes:   Old guys doing martial arts is not believable. Why is screaming every time doing martial arts needed ? Liked FL but not ML his martial artistry wasn't believable..

  • Fuga da Meia-Noite

    428. Fuga da Meia-Noite

    Korean Movie - 2021

    8.0

    (Tubi)          Total = 1 hrs  43 min        
    Notes:  Dislike the actress that plays the mom, but she was good in this. Yet again Wi Ha Joon is amazing as a killer. A person w/a disability is strong & takes down a killer is disability positive. Why didn't cops look up killer's info & check his car or house? This made no sense.

  • Monstro

    429. Monstro

    Korean Movie - 2014

    8.0

    (Tubi)          Total = 1 hr  53 min      
    Notes:  Super gory.  Not my kind of movie , but the acting was phenomenal especially the FL so had to give it an 8.  It pissed me off that one of the bad guys got away with murder. 

  • Madonna

    430. Madonna

    Korean Movie - 2015

    4.0

    (AsianCrush)          Total = 2 hrs     
    Notes:  Wanted to strangle FL for showing little to no empathy.  Luckily in the end she made the right choice. 2 rape scenes 1 kinda graphic & 1 from afar. Lots of questions: FL killed her own baby? CEO son really only after $? CEO being held hostage or did he want to live even if abusing his power? Display window pics? Very little dialogue.

  • As Escolhas Perdidas

    431. As Escolhas Perdidas

    Korean Movie - 2015

    4.0

    (AsianCrush)          Total = 1 hr  48 min      
    Notes:   Girl medaled in marksmanship but lost her speach + parents in car accident. As an adult she encounters her seedy boss, 3 rapists, a corrupt cop & a friend's abusive boyfriend who all cause her to go ape s**t. In the end female cop unplugs her life support to keep her liver from being transplanted into rapist's body.

  • A Lição Parte 2

    432. A Lição Parte 2

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    7.0

    (Netflix)         Avg Dur: 50 min        Total = 6 hrs 40 min        
    Notes:  {English Dubbed}   1 kiss that grossed me out due to age gap & no romantic build up. Season 2 questionable. Revenge for young plastic surgeon may not be enough to hold me.

  • A Lição

    433. A Lição

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    7.0

    (Netflix)         Avg Dur: 50 min        Total = 6 hrs 40 min        
    Notes: {English Dubbed}    Normally dislike FL actress but her frozen bitch face was perfect for this character. Like all the characters & actors. Strong FL characters/roles and seems like more airtime devoted to females. 

  • A Porta Para o Verão

    434. A Porta Para o Verão

    Japanese Movie - 2021

    6.0

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  58 min      
    Notes:   The cat is awesome & my favorite part of the movie.  

    Ending. ML's adopted sister freeze's herself for 10 yrs so they will match in age when they awake & ML fixed all the evil stuff in past.

  • My Amnesia Girl

    435. My Amnesia Girl

    Filipino Movie - 2010

    3.5

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  45 min      
    Notes:   Interesting storyline but I didn't care for the actors or the execution of the story.  Would preferr a modern fresh take w/ different actors.

  • She's The One

    436. She's The One

    Filipino Movie - 2013

    5.5

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  50 min      
    Notes:  FL age gap w/ML2 but it wasn't too icky. ML2 or ML could have been chosen, but they went cliche (ML /the BF was chosen & he changed his ways for her).

  • A Aposta

    437. A Aposta

    Filipino Movie - 2015

    6.0

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  43 min      
    Notes:   Liked the actors & acting skills were excellent. Kinda like a Hallmark channel "She's All That."  At end he kissed her forehead & she kissed his nose & it really looked like the actors wanted to do a real kiss...I'd be all for it & a movie 2.  Music was surprisingly fun.

  • Alone/Together

    438. Alone/Together

    Filipino Movie - 2019

    5.0

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  43 min      
    Notes:   ML & FL looked like a real couple. Felt their emotions.  The boyfriend treating FL like his employee was something FL should have seen. Not upset @ ML's choice to stay broken up after 2nd dismissal from FL. His girlfriend's pregnancy was a surprise I didn't see coming.

  • O Destino do Amor - Filme

    439. O Destino do Amor - Filme

    Thai Movie - 2022

    5.0

    (Netflix)          Total = 2 hrs  45 min      
    Notes:  Started & stopped this many times. It was really hard to get into for some reason. ML has a good smile.

  • An Inconvenient Love

    440. An Inconvenient Love

    Filipino Movie - 2022

    3.5

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  53 min      
    Notes:  Not much story. FL learns not to lose herself in a relationship. Wasn't convinced of actor in younger bro role with a disorder. Chemistry between leads a bit lack luster, kisses looked like they were being avoided.

  • Não Posso Evitar Me Apaixonar

    441. Não Posso Evitar Me Apaixonar

    Filipino Movie - 2017

    4.0

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  53 min      
    Notes:    Strangers get drunk / married in 1 night. Girl travels w/husband to get marriage annulled in time for fiancé marriage. However, leads end up together. Audio not audible sometimes. 2 kisses - 1 @ end was a no frills easy romantic one. I cried.

  • Ela Está Namorando o Gangster

    442. Ela Está Namorando o Gangster

    Filipino Movie - 2014

    6.0

    (Netflix)          Total = 1 hr  53 min      
    Notes:   2 girls sick but in love w/same boy. FL2 gives up, then FL. FL2 recovers gets married to ML. FL meets him decades later on deathbed. I cried at end.

  • Intensivão de Amor

    443. Intensivão de Amor

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    5.0

    (Netflix)          Avg Dur:   1hr 15 min        Total = 19 hrs  44 min      
    Notes:   ML's bed head & the way he nudged into FL's bed was adorable. Leads' make-out session was awkward. Romance was subtle. Liked the murder element & understood mom's return scenes, but comments show most did not. Dislikes: characters absent & then randomly popping in, FL's assertiveness, ML's skinniness, romance between mentally challenged bro & friend, & no need characters (jealous girl student, ML's blind date). Preferred more story w/ all the kids (2 boys liking daughter). Liked the daughter actress & her ice skating suitor was very charismatic.

  • Serious Sign

    444. Serious Sign

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    3.0

    (Tubi)          Total =   3 hrs 52 min         
    Notes:   2 timing ML, jealous girlfriends, alcoholic FL, abusive husband. FL super frustrating. She changed guys like I change socks. FL realized what love truly is in the end & stayed true to 1 man for 4 yrs hunting him down.

  • The Girl on the Bulldozer

    445. The Girl on the Bulldozer

    Korean Movie - 2021

    4.5

    (Tubi)          Total =   1 hr 52 min         
    Notes:  2nd time watching. FL character troubled & strong. I think the movie ended w/ victim confessing off the record he was drunk & caused accident & insurance co paid out death benefit for suicide much later after FL's prison time.

  • Retrato de uma Beleza

    446. Retrato de uma Beleza

    Korean Movie - 2008

    3.0

    (Tubi)          Total =   1 hr 48 min         
    Notes:   Lots of female nudity, a couple of sex scenes. 1 realistic looking long scene about passion & 1 about dominance, w/the master that made me cringe due to age gap + her not liking him in that way.  Romance? Video quality so poor it was bordering on unwatchable. 

  • Amor ao primeiro Odeio

    447. Amor ao primeiro Odeio

    Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes

    7.5

    (YouTube_GMMTV Official)          Avg Dur: 50 min        Total =10 hrs 50 min        
    Notes:   FL character spoiled brat, too innocent/naive, but oddly likable. ML good looking & totally funny. Lots of steamy dialogue & kisses, about 5 were blush worthy. Enjoyed this couple's chemistry.

  • A Filha do Mestre

    448. A Filha do Mestre

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 7 episodes

    5.0

    Master's Daughter 
    (Viki)          Avg Dur: 24 min        Total =2 hrs 48 min        
    Notes:  The FL looked like Nanno from "Girl from Nowhere." Storyline just like that too.  FL crazy & felt totally sorry for boy twin, he was the nicest & was totally used.

     Ending - crazy girl buying the book w/ the story that unfolded. Little girl poisoning not believable.  Who hit girl twin, & tossed HS girl off roof? What happened to boy twin? Season 2?

  • A Flor Proibida

    449. A Flor Proibida

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    6.0

    (Viki)          Avg Dur: 35 min        Total =14 hrs      
    Notes:   Moments of genius mixed in w/ a shit show. ML actor 21 ys older than FL (46 & 25).  Somewhat creepy... FL goes after him aggressively & obsessively in a spoiled brat plus daringly adult kinda way & he is good looking so creepiness was tempered. Disliked the mom character & storyline. ML's brooding nontalking acting continued on a bit too much. FL treated clinger-on boy distastefully, didn't like her for that. In novel, the story this was created from, FL dies. 3 endings shot: [1] FL dies (in snow or later?), ML lives like she is still alive. Blooming of flowers causes his reunion dream. [2] FL is alive a returns 1 yr later (why does he not go w/her?). [3] FL dies after spending a brief time w/ML & then he dies. The end is their reunion in afterlife.  Almost wanted a stronger storyline between FL & clinger-on boy (the necklace incident was pure gold). Music & scenery are phenomenal. Good quote:  "When faced w/true love, men get scared & woman get stronger."

  • Quase Amor

    450. Quase Amor

    Chinese Movie - 2022

    4.0

    (Viki)          Total =   1 hr 50 min         
    Notes:   Same old story, 9 yrs of a relationship off/on. 

    Ending - 2 yrs after break-up ML marries another girl & FL still has him in her heart.  Because FL was a huge giver not sure ML ever truly appreciated her.

  • Funeral Family

    451. Funeral Family

    Chinese Movie - 2022

    8.0

    (Viki)          Total =   1 hr 31 min         
    Notes:   Sad/cute movie. Little girl's acting was amazing (actress is 8 yrs old). Subtitles were a bit too fast & most of the scenes were on rapid fire.  The girl dressed as an indian for her everyday look & chasing after the ML demanding to see her grandma was adorable. Happy ending.

  • Mojin: Dragon Ridge Shrine

    452. Mojin: Dragon Ridge Shrine

    Chinese Movie - 2020

    6.0

    The Ghost Blows The Lamp of the Longling Temple    
    (Viki)          Total =   1 hr 31 min         
    Notes:   Acting not that great. Story & CGI was meh. Tomb raiders go to save a professor.

  • O Fantasma Encantador

    453. O Fantasma Encantador

    Chinese Movie - 2020

    8.0

    (Viki)          Total =   1 hr 36 min         
    Notes:   CGI was top notch. Liked the actors. 1 lesbian scene between FL & her harem friend. Movie needed more back story. Why was Black Mtn king obsessed? Character stories for demon hunters.  This is an adaptation, original created in 1987 & I haven't seen it.  Like the movie "A Fairy Tale."

  • Holiday Love

    454. Holiday Love

    Japanese Drama - 2018, 8 episodes

    4.0

    (Viki)          Avg Dur: 60 min        Total = 6 hrs         
    Notes:   FL2 was some kinda crazy. She was probably a little off to begin with & then her abusive husband put her over the edge. FL2 actress's acting was interesting in a good way. Little girl's acting was amazing. ML getting mad at wife for almost cheating compared to his full-on affair pissed me off. Didn't really care who FL ended up with, Bartender, Barber BF or cheating husband. Cringed at sister meeting ex-abusive FL2's hubby at dating mixer even if he has changed.

    Notes:   Age gap not very bothersome as ML was very mature/masculine with a great body. FL pretty especially as they showed her compared to other woman her age/station.  Sex scenes tastefully realistic, short to the point & plentiful.  Romance more like obsession believable.  Open ending - FL leaves her life but doesn't tell ML.  ML changes flight to USA to Brazil on the fly.  Both leads on same plane to Brazil but don't know it.

    Notes:  ML good body & had his shirt off a few times. Steamy dialogue & classy sex scenes (3-4), kissing was blush worthy. NAF of FL character & actress - she slept w/2 guys, she's not cute or hot & she was cringing when ML came on to her, which made me feel uncomfortable. That's not conveying love. Music was noticeable/good.

    Notes:  Focus was on how society is addicted to cell phones. Less phone footage more character/story development needed. ML uses this to commit murder. Im Si Wan w/ his innocent baby face is a serial killer...creepy...in a great acting kinda way. Lead detective not telling FL how dangerous ML is & lack of professionalism pissed me off. Ending - none of the current alive characters dies... I think. Sequel set up?

    Notes:  A free for all of who stabs who in the back ...metaphorically. Reason to watch was for Kim Soo Hyun but his parts were rather small yet impactful. Shirt off kiss included lower lip suction (hot) & seducing target perferred him over hot girl (funny). Open ending, sequel possible. Reminded me of "Ocean's Eleven" movie series.

    (Viki)         Episodes: 10        Avg Dur: 30 min        Total = 5 hrs         
    Notes:  Right off the bat ML has shirt off & creating sexual tension w/FL.  His body is HOT, "ABSolutely."  A few kisses that looked steamy good. ML's acting from domineering leader to at the end naïve boyish soldier showed great acting ability.  ML 2 also switches personality.  Didn't like FL actress, she didn't seem to go w/ML.  

    Open Ending - Sister & nephew killed, ML looks like he dies but returns 5 yrs later as common solider w/ different name & no memory of past or he died & soldier is doppelganger. Cig lighter on ground that FL picks up is MLs.

    Notes:   1940's during Japanese occupation of Korea & end scenes are in 2011. Girls would be in there 90's but looked in their 70's. Music was mesmerizing. Hee nor ML did anything to apologize for their betrayal/affair. Hee & ML were totally in love. As young adults Hee is killed & ML commits suicide after a goodbye letter to his ex. Ending - Yul steels Hee's name to sing but realizes the goodbye song ML gave her showed she was just as good as Hee, so revenge was senseless.

    Notes:  Characters were interesting & had depth, not cookie cutter. The actress that played an actress looks like Park Shin Hye. ML character & actor I didn't care for. 3 grab your face kisses, 1 playful & other 2 shoulder view angles. Liked other 2 couple pairings more interesting.  Liked director w/FL alot, but w/actress was really good too.

    (Tubi)        Total = 1 hr 28 min            
    Notes:   Completely silent except for crying, moaning & the like. Artistic twisted. Better than 3-Iron. Gang rape of shop girl was avenged by prison time & leader losing his penis, movie direction made her seem promiscuous. When son got dad's penis why was son only aroused by mom? Dad was a cheater so dad liked more than mom, so why did son opt to get rid of transplant? Maybe another girl in future would cure him. Actor who played son only 15 (17 in Korean yrs).

    Notes:   FL super tall, & pretty good actress. Don't like character when showing spoiled & entitled behavior.  Clothes are a bit too flashy for my taste, it draws away attention from the story. ML not sold on character or actor...not sure why.  ML2, Cha Eun Woo started out w/some not likable acting but he got better as scenes focused on his storyline. Cinematography & music are amazing.  Eerily similar to Bulgasal. Season 2 coming in 2023.

    Notes:  Rival band real, INI.  8LOOM temp band during drama.  A few songs were really good.   Acting was so-so for newbies.  Last few episodes only about saying sorry a million times. Lead characters 10 ys apart, so a strong love story would have been cringy especially due to age gap & maturity levels (FL very adult, ML immature). Glad they stayed @ interest only. Ambiguous ending -  Band reunites after 3 yr hiatus, ML seeks FL out @ her teaching school. Sequel?

    (Viki)          Avg Dur:  40 min        Total = 16 hrs       
    Notes:  The acting was good but didn't care for ML & FL's faces. 1 sweet non-memorable kiss. The last few episodes were a mess, the story fell apart.  What happened to Maizi? He was the most interesting character.  FL treated ML like dirt on last travel back trip & then all of a sudden she wanted to be close w/him...made no sense.  

    Ending - FL manages to save ML & becomes a vet (same goal as ML, so has she really learned anything? Just following a man, like her ex-fiancée) ML returns to her after a 2 yr hiatus we think (umbrella w/no face covers FL). I was wondering if he was still dead in future (Coma?). ML time travels too? Chatter says Movie sequel to come.

    Notes:   FL was smart, strong & kind, but not pretty. Acting was very good, especially ML.  ML2 was a strong contender but i knew the King would be the victor from the start. Kissing was just lips on lips. Palace politics minimal, focus was on love story.

    5.0

    (Viki)          Avg Dur: 30 min        Total = 16 hrs       
    Notes:  It reminded me of "Descendants of the Sun". The sci-fi element was a bit of a surprise & felt like it should have been a different movie altogether. Quite a bit of over dramatization/unrealistic. Slept thru a few episodes & didn't feel like I needed to go back to watch. Fav scene Lee Ji Hoon reaction to getting caught w/lipstick smudges. A few pretty good kisses. Liked the main lead pairing. 

    Ending was like "The Last Empress." (Actor's face never shown).  ML chose death over wheelchair life so after he leaves for a year & returns not looking for FL, what is his situation? Lee Je Hoon is an amazing actor.

I am not familiar w/books so not sure.  Yang Yang was totally AWESOME & wished for a lot more scenes w/him although his lack of film time added to his allure/mystery. Fatty character was quite annoying. An 8 part series gone wrong?

My fav, the hunk acted like an idiot trying to create a drama series w/the cute corky little girl & lost the beautiful smart girl, Lana who he had an awesome chemistry with.
