Adorable, wish it was longer
This was adorable and I loved the bright vibe of the entire film — it really looks and feels like a manga come to life. The friendships were really beautiful to see and the romance was pretty cute. Sometimes it's a little cringy but overall it was actually refreshing that there weren't any terrible villains in the entire film.This is a film I think would even be better as a drama or even an anime simply because my favorite parts were when everyone was spending time together and I wanted more of it. There are also these "transition" moments that I think were missing — sometimes the development of character relationships or times just felt a little jumpy and sudden. A longer runtime could've helped develop the main conflict more too because I felt like the lessons and growth were so rich.

Es una película que no asusta pero entretiene.
Primero, el casting fue lo que menos me molestó, creo que todos hicieron bien su trabajo y a pesar de que la historia era en un principio llamativa, habia ciertas cosas en los diálogos que no la hacían creíble. Por ejemplo: cuando ellos tenían que volver al sueño para encontrar los huesos de la niña, lo primero que pensé que se iban a volver locos, que no iban a querer dormir. Pero en cambio lo tomaron muy bien desde el principio e incluso hacían bromas mientras eran perseguidos y asesinados de formas horribles.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Was told to watch by a friend, mixed feelings
My friend for a while had been asking me to watch this Drama. I went into watching this having an understanding of how it was going to end and I still was utterly shocked by it. As well as being utterly in shock with the ending, this is not the normal Drama I would watch, and I STILL LIKED IT.The story was wonderful, I think that's what made it so sad. The Drama kept bringing back details from the past adding new depth to something you thought was just a simple plot tool. Think that's what made the ending so bittersweet. Poong Woon Ho VHS tape holds all of those sweet memories that you can remember watching as his and Na Bo Ra's romance slowly blossomed. As well as the very special VHS tape being held in a Drama that made continuous reappearances throughout the whole Drama. These small details are what I like to see in a Drama, they leave a lasting image on you after watching.
The acting was great not the best. The chemistry between Kim Yoo Jung and Byun Woo Suk was utterly beautiful. Their scenes had just the right amount of cuteness. They weren't too cute causing me to want to throw up but just the right amount to make you giggle to yourself. Even Kim Yoo Jung and Park Jung Woo scenes held this same cuteness. Though I did find some of the crying scenes a little weird to watch. The tears of the characters almost looked a little too forced, but I mainly only saw this when we were seeing Woon Ho and Bo Ra in their high school years. I do think it helped add a bit of youth to their tears but I still think they looked a bit odd. But the whole air of this Drama was great and I am completely willing to watch other Dramas with these actors.
The music didn't leave much of a lasting impression on me. When watching music can make or break a show/drama, but the music in this Drama didn't do either. After watching this drama I can't remember any of the music that was in it. Some Dramas I watched were greatly better because of the music. This Drama wasn't improved or made worse because of its music. I think its lack of music doesn't decrease how much I liked this drama, but I can't say that if it had a great soundtrack I would have thought it was the best Drama ever.
Due to this Drama being quite a sad one from my standpoint I wouldn't necessarily want to watch it again. Maybe after a bad break up with a nice pint of ice cream cuddling up in bed, but I not going to get home from school and put it on. From my standpoint, it was a wonderful 1st watch and I will always hold it dear to me but not so dear to suffer through that ending again.
Overall, this Drama I would 100% recommend anyone to watch this, but just watch with caution and have that box of tissues with you for the final line.

made me gush
Meeting the parents was so cute and actually made it all feel so real. I am happy I finally watched this because I had been putting it off. but this was a banger. The music is a banger. The plot was a little the same and average, but not bad. The acting is so good; I loved it a lot. The music gets a 10 again because this outro music that is blasting in my ears right now goes crazy. I probably wouldn't rewatch it, but it was good, and I definitely recommend it. great movie, great drama, great everything, really. okay bye.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Saudara? atau?
Mengisahkan Golf yang biasa hidup sendiri karena Ayahnya sibuk bekerja, suatu waktu tiba-tiba Bank datang sebagai saudara angkat baru untuk Golf, itu membuatnya agak kesal dan seperti tidak menyukai situasi ini. Awalnya Golf agak acuh, cuek, dan bahkan membuly Golf seolah-olah dia seperti memberikan peringatan bahwa Bank tidak bisa diterima di dalam kehidupan Golf, namun seiring berjalannya waktu, sebagai saudara yang tinggal di atap yang sama ; perlahan mereka menjadi akur dan malah mempunyai perasaan yang spesial, akankan kisah mereka baik-baik saja?. Masalah dalam bL ini cukup unik dibanding bL sebelumnya yang aku tonton karena relasi antar main-role ini diikat oleh bentuk persaudaraan, memang benar mereka bukan saudara kandung, namun tetap saja kisah cinta spesial diantara saudara mungkin merupakan suatu hal yang sulit dimengerti. Scene dalam film ini menurutku cukup disajikan dengan epik dan cinematik, dengan perpaduan warna yang cukup serasi dan bersinambungan, ceritanya jga menurutku bagus untuk ditonton, makna cerita ini juga bagus terutama dibagian akhir film. Aku merekomendasikan bL ini untuk ditonton.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
One too many twists.
Honestly speaking, I don’t even think the story was bad. the directing though, missed a lot of basic elements.The scenes simply do not transition in a smooth way. Everything feels so out of place. Random private naked yoga classes turned into kamasutra scenes, a random detective story, which technically makes sense (people are dying after all), but never matches well with the main story. It honestly felt like they stitched scenes together without actually taking into consideration if they create a cohesive picture and explain the story well.
By the end of the movie they present one too many twists so rather than an interesting (though slightly overused) turn of events, it all becomes confusing.
The acting was bad. Lee Chae Young easily did the best, but all the rest of the cast was questionable at best. Felt like the actresses were cast for their bodies and not their acting skills.
Overall, skip, don’t bother watching.

Once you entered darkness, there's no turning back... No matter how hard you try.
If I were to sum it all up, this story is all about unconditional love and everything grim, dark and tragic all together. It's like a whole 4 tier cake that's fully-structured by prostitution, molestation, suicide, rape, cheating, murder and violence with same-sex romance as its cherry on top to attract its viewers. It may look interesting, exciting and delicious on the outside but once you take a bite you'll be shock on how awfully bad it actually tastes inside.It was a story of everything sinister and ludicrous intertwined to each other and depicts how multiple acts of such brutal action can result to a continuous, moreso, non-stop set of events that only leads to either tragedy or death.
Closely looking at the narrative, I'd say that they successfully made this story as dark and tragedic as they wanted it to be by mercilessly manipulating each and every piece like a puzzle that will only move in accordance to its players wish and desire.
This movie probably has the greatest facade I've ever watched in a long while. The way they've flawlessly hidden the true agenda of this piece by showing us same-sex love story felt like a whole fraud trick to me. It may seem promising and exciting at first but as it progresses you'll realize that it's starting to go deeper and darker... and by the end, you will be perplexed to know that you're only left with nothing but agony, disappointments, and regrets.
There are only 2 positive points I can clearly see from this movie; First is the familial love Mek has shown to his mother and brother. Second is the unconditional and unrestricted mutual love and affection Itt and Mek have for each other. Aside from these, I can't seem to point out anything else that's considerably good or nice.
Lastly, its ending!! I was so mad and heartbroken. I really thought they'd finally live a more peaceful and happy life after all the tragedy they've been through, yet, this story chose to go all out by giving us nothing but another heartache. They killed Mek like it was part of the plot... Expected to happen to conclude the story and pronounce it 'complete'. Where in fact! It was not! Probably the worst decision ever!
P.S. They really love to do the making out/sex scenes outdoor and I got no complains about that. I even love it a lot. Hahaha!
Story - 7.5, Despite all the negative and dark messages this movie has. I'd still say they executed it quite well and it would've been even better only if it wasn't this problematic!! Still can't move on with the tragic ending ><
Acting/Cast - 9.5, I'm surprisingly satisfied with the leads. Specially with how 'A' look convincing, both appearance and acting wise. Same with 'Tob'. The only problem I've had is with Ying. In some instances her line deliberation felt weak and unstable
Music - 9.5, It's nice to hear early 2000s BGMs once in a while. It felt nostalgic and it truly brought me back to those times. Love the Thai song played too. It smoothly conveys and make you feel the raw emotions they all wanted you to experience and go through.
Rewatch Value - 8.5, Even when it ended tragically. I can still see myself watching it in the future. A year or so probably? For some reason, their bittersweet romance still makes me feel butterflies.
Overall - 8.5, No matter how dark and gloomy the whole vibe of the story, I still can't deny how good the delivery of the entire narrative is. It was foul tasting, traumatic yet kinda addicting. Something I can remember for a long time for sure.
IF you find my review helpful please let me know.

Confusing
My interpretation is that this film is about Seulgi's insecurities about Miso and her husband, because the guy was completely oblivious about her death, I believe if it happened he would've at least hear about it since the wedding was at the same day as the "funeral". I felt like she was jealous at every second of this short film. I can't really express what I'm thinking because I'm legitimately still confused, idk. I have to talk about Ahn Soyo real quick, she's really good, I watched this short film because I just saw her in The Glory, and seeing this short film that only a few people watched and knowing that she went on to act on such a big time show like The Glory is really cool, I hope she can get more opportunities, and the other 2 as well.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Al principio da un poco de cringe, pero lo cute te termina comprando.
¡Hola a todos! Hoy me paso por acá para hablarles de "Honey lemon soda" en nombre de Aldi y mío porque las dos opinamos lo mismo jaja.La historia sigue a Uka, una chica a la que le cuesta hacer amigos, en su camino hacia superar la timidez gracias a la ayuda de Kai, un chico con el pelo color limón que se ofrece a ayudarla.
Empezamos a ver esta película solo porque amamos a Raul, sí, el actor se llama Raul, y nos terminamos encontrando con una historia de amor súper disfrutable a pesar de lo cliché... Bueno, eso una vez que superamos el cringe inicial que fue bastante grande.
Lo bueno de la protagonista es que, aunque al principio puede pecar de ingenua y sumisa, con el tiempo va ganando confianza hasta convertirse en un personaje muy bonito (su evolución se da muy rápido, pero de vez en cuando no viene mal). Kai, en cambio, es más complicado porque, aunque lo amamos mucho, aceptamos que está muy alejado de la realidad (nos negamos a creer que personas así existen), por eso el cringe del principio. Eso sí, Raul actuando superó nuestras expectativas (fue rarísimo confirmar que puede no actuar como una diva y solo como una diva*). Y Ai (Uka) es muy buena as always.
Pasando al resto del cast, todos están súper bien y los personajes que interpretan nos gustaron mucho, sobre todo porque se escapan de lo esperable en este tipo de historias (que la mayoría no sean unos bullies o unos tsunderes es decir mucho).
Y volviendo a la historia, hay un conflicto central en toda la trama que termina por explotar al final y, aunque no sé bien como expresarlo, digamos que es medio una boludez y lo exageran mucho, pero le agarramos tanto cariño a los protagonistas que no nos importó. En esta cuenta creemos en la Kai Supremacy (o es que nos gusta mucho Raul y aceptamos cualquier cosa que haga, quién sabe).
En fin, una peli muy cute con vibes súper veraniegas (es que él es el verano) y un ritmo bastante dinámico que no aburre en ningún momento.
¿La vieron? ¿Tienen ganas de verla? ¿Conocen a Raul? ¿Escuchan Snow Man? ¿Conocen a Meguro Ren? ¿Lo aman? ¿Sakuma no es una cosita muy tierna? ¿Acaso nos volvimos fans de una banda de Jpop? Ampliaremos.

Buena para pasar el rato y no pensar mucho.
No Call no Life gira en torno al romance entre Umi Sakura, quien vive con su primo debido a que sus padres no pueden encargarse de ella, y Mahiro Harukawa, a quien todos perciben como "problemático". Aunque esta pareja no debería funcionar y todos le dicen a Umi que se aleje del chico, a ellos los une el haber vivido situaciones difíciles provocadas por adultos cuando eran pequeños.Miren, voy a ser honesta, vi esta película porque tenía ganas de ver algo con un romance medio tóxico y personajes actuando de forma edgy... y medio que cumplió, eh jaja. A ver, no me lo tomen a mal, en cierta forma pude entender el comportamiento de los personajes y la atracción que sienten el uno por el otro, pero eso no quiere decir que estemos viendo una hermosa relación o que no haya dicho "mmmm no" en más de una ocasión con el comportamiento de Harukawa (que igual es un personaje sólido y Yuki Inoue le da vida bastante bien). En definitiva: es una historia problemática protagonizada por chicos con problemas que se apoyan entre sí aunque a veces tengan deslices, solo hay que ser conscientes de que no muestran una relación a la que aspirar.
Ahora bien, en la película también meten un misterio: la prota recibe correos de voz de un niño que parece hablarle a su madre, pero el teléfono del que provienen esos mensajes técnicamente no funciona. Esos mensajes sirven para que nuestros protagonistas se conozcan mejor, pero no me gustó que prácticamente no tuvieran explicación alguna. Entiendo que es un detonante para cuestiones de la trama, pero quedó tan en "porque sí" que me molestó.
En cuanto al final, me resultó un poco predecible y en sí no llegó a impactarme de ninguna manera porque nunca terminé de conectar bien con la trama ni con los personajes, solo me pareció una película entretenida y ya.
Eso sí, visualmente está muy buena y la banda sonora me gustó bastante. Además los actores en general no están mal. No la súper recomiendo, pero no pierden nada al verla si es que les llama la atención.

No fue lo que esperaba y me encantó.
La vida de la maestra de secundaria Moriguchi Yoko se derrumba después del asesinato de su hija de 4 años. Eventualmente, ella descubre que los culpables fueron dos de sus estudiantes, por lo que decide poner en práctica un elaborado plan para vengarse.Esta es una de las películas japonesas más aplaudidas de los últimos tiempos y no es para menos, porque realmente me pareció muy buena.
Desde el principio se puede sentir un aura de opresión, sobre todo gracias a las tomas con filtros grises y a los cielos nublados. Básicamente se nota que el aire está denso, que lo que está pasando tiene un peso muy grande, y la forma en la que la película está filmada es excelente para transmitir eso.
Me sorprendió mucho que el filme ya empezara con la profesora culpando a los responsables del asesinato de su hija, ya que supuse que eso pasaría más o menos por la mitad, pero no, la historia en sí va por otro lado. Se tratan muchos temas y los personajes encarnan diferentes problemáticas que tocan muy de cerca a la sociedad japonesa: sobreprotección vs padres ausentes, querer destacar vs pasar desapercibido, etc. Esto sin contar las múltiples críticas sociales presentes en la película, sobre todo en cuanto a lo problemática que resulta la ley en algunos casos.
Por otro lado, la película no se llama "confesiones" solo porque sí, acá hay varios personajes importantes y vemos las cosas desde sus diferentes puntos de vista, lo que va entretejiendo una trama que, a pesar de resultar un poquito compleja, se entiende a la perfección, sobre todo gracias a lo bien enlazado que está todo.
Creo que lo que más destaco es que logré entender bien a todos los personajes independientemente de que compartiera o no sus formas de pensar, algunos incluso me dieron un poco de pena llegando al final.
En fin, una película interesante, bien escrita, con actores que trabajan muy bien (todo el elenco joven es realmente muy bueno), mensajes claros y bien transmitidos, una buena banda sonora y un ritmo lento pero entretenido que se mantiene hasta el final. Amé.

Poignant and beautiful; it's an artistic (as opposed to mainstream) film
Spoiler alert: This is a touching and intimate character study of Chihiro, a lost individual, and the people who temporarily enter her life. The pacing is slow, and the action and dialogue is minimal. But it’s beautifully filmed, with the landscapes and vistas of her seaside community nicely conveying Chihiro’s sense of isolation and loneliness as she struggles to bond with those around her. The hook, that Chihiro is a former sex worker, is probably a metaphor for her struggles to connect emotionally with others. By the end of the film, we understand what she meant when she imagined that earth is populated by aliens, each of whom came from a different planet. For those who enjoy an artistic-leaning films, this movie is worth checking out.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Worse than I was expecting.
I wanted to like this more than I did, and I just had to give it a watch, considering it had Kim Nam-gil which is my favorite actor. I will say, he is a phenomenal actor, but this movie lacked much real depth to me. It was a very pushed connection, and or chemistry that actually didn't seem present in any of the characters, with any of each other or really themself all that much. Definitely not present between Kim and Park, but a complete facade of one, I understand she was incredibly naive, and you have sympathy for her, but it was more annoying than sad to me. A constant sacrifice to those dumb men, when it was not returned, comes off as "idiotic", rather than sweet or sad. I absolutely hated her character and everything she was. The ending was the absolute worse, and she deserved much worse at the end. I ended up losing any of the sympathy I had for at the end. There was no chemistry between Jeong and Kim either, even though it was trying so desperately hard to build that, but it was pretty empty. Their interactions were surface layer, and lacked real meaning. I had trouble finishing this movie, and was going to stop watching it about 30 minutes in, but said I'll continue to watch because of Kim Nam-gil. It's not terrible per say, it's just not all that around that Interesting and nearly bored me to death. My biggest and one issue with this film, was the nudity, vulgar language, and sex scenes. You can betray all these dark things of humans, and the nature of us, and society without showing nudity and sex. It doesn't add any substance, and that isn't bought by people who are actually looking for films and shows with real substance and meaning. The whole movie was depressing, everything felt dark even in the daylight. Which is clearly obvious because of how depressing this movie was meant to bem The only good thing this film had going for it was casting Kim Nam-gil, which his character lacked much of really anything, was uninteresting, and you didn't have a clue what he was truly thinking and or feeling throughout the whole movie, so, no I don't suggest this movie, but only to those who are die hard fans of Kim Nam-gil, otherwise if you decide to not watch it, you aren't missing much.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Singto?
Sebagian orang mungkin akan menonton short film ini karena ada Singto di dalamnya, namun menurutku kalian tidak perlu menontonnya. Mengisahkan Benz (yang diperankan oleh Singto) yang menyukai Riw (pria), di mana Riw sedang mempunyai hubungan dengan Meen (wanita). Ceritanya terlalu singkat dan padat membuat alurnya tidak begitu jelas, selain itu penonton mungkin dianggap sudah mengetahui alur cerita film pendek ini sebelumnya seperti "menerka" kejadian masa lalu mereka, hal ini menjadi sulit karena cerita ini terlalu pendek sehingga kehilangan orientasi cerita. Film ini hanya menampilkan Benz yang menjadi orang ketiga dan membuat Riw selingkuh dari kekasihnya Meen. Cerita selesai dengan ending yang tidak bermakna, ini merupakan opini pribadi. Jika anda berminat untuk menontonnya, saya kira film pendek ini ada di YouTube. Namun saya tidak merekomendasikan anda untuk menontonnya.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
