Tatta Hitotsu no Koi [2006]

Synopsis :

A story of pure love between the son of a man who runs a ship repair factory beset with financial troubles and the well-bred daughter of a national jewelry chain store owner. The backdrop of the story is Yokohama. 
If you feel you have lost the purity of your soul by watching stories about womanizers seducing impudent women, or by carrying out calculated maneuvers in your own love life, here is a story for you. A boy and a girl from highly different social backgrounds meet and fall in love. Their love, of course, faces a lot of obstacles. The setting is in Yokohama, a modern port city known for its romantic atmosphere. Hiroto Kanzaki (Kazuya Kamenashi) works hard every day and night for the survival of a small ship repair factory (inherited from his father) as well as the survival of his mother and younger brother, who are suffering from health problems. Living such an underprivileged life, Hiroto has forgotten how to smile. In contrast to him, Nao (Haruka Ayase) is the daughter of a popular jewelry shop owner in a fashionable street in Yokohama. She attends a prestigious exclusive women's college and grew up cheerful and blessed with affluent love. From the moment Hiroto meets her, his closed mind slowly opens up to Nao, who is so innocent that she utters whatever she thinks. Their three close friends, who are also 20 year old's, play an important role in their developing relationship.
The scriptwriter is Eriko Kitagawa, who earned the nickname "The Goddess of Love Stories." This classic love story enables those who are in the same generation to feel empathy, or be envious of the characters' lives; and the rest, who were once 20 years old's, to reminisce about their own "Love of My Life."

My review... So I think this kind of drama is not for me.. It get really boring at the beginning, in the middle and I only looking forward to it when it beginning to reach the end. So yeah , I think the storyline is good.. Kinda typical but still good.. One thing annoys me is the heroin is kinda childish at some point..

So anyway.. A good drama to watch if you like to watch love stories.. With that I rate this drama 3 out of 5.. :D

Synopsis :

Taking place after the events of Kamen Rider Decade episode 15, under the impression that they saved the World of Den-O, Tsukasa Kadoya and company begin their journey to the World of Kabuto when they are halted by Sieg who presents them a manuscript that detailed the legendary Oni Conquest with Momotaros' image on it. As this occurred, the Tarōs mysteriously vanish from the DenLiner as they are about to help Kotaro Nogami out with the true threat to their world.

Yay another Den-O movie. Just fun to see more Momotaros tachi.. Anyway.. The storyline is interesting... This movie have more child actor than other Kamen Rider that I have watch before.. Pity that I can't see the adult Ryotarou again :( .. The child actor didn't really portray the clumsy Ryotarou, he looks cooler than the adult Ryotarou..

Anyway... It just interesting to see characters in Kiva in here.. Wish there are more scene with them :3 .. Yeah Decade in here too but I guess I'm hoping to see more Decade other than 2 scene only.. Well it funny seeing Imagin possessing Decade in the fight..

So yeah this movie is interesting but I just hope there is more interaction with others Decade or even tribe's member (Kiva's characters). I end this review with 3 and half out of 5.. Haha this movie is funny and really make my day.. :D

With his fake identity and new name, he prowls the back alleys of Bangkok...

Synopsis source : asianwiki

Hah ok old drama but at least I finally finish this drama.. It takes forever for me.. So anyway.. Let me start with the opening of this drama.. The opening show some really awesome action scene that I don't really care about.. I don't know why but every single Korean's action drama always show an action scene that will be show later on the drama.. Some scene that I don't really understand or even care about.. Honestly if that action scene is not even there I don't even bother...

The romance is boring =.=;

My opinion on this drama? Well I decided to watch this drama when some of my friends recommended to me and I want to see Lee Jun Ki.. So I watch it and for me I regret that I watch it.. The storyline is actually quite good but what I don't like is this drama is so slow and too boring.. The first episode I take almost 5 days to finish it.. It funny when I need 5 days to finish this one episode but I take almost 5 days to finish watching Full House TAKE 2 (click here for review).. So anyway.. This drama is so slow and I'm not really looking forward to the next episode... It becoming more and more draggy until episode 10 or so.. Started from there I actually looking forward to the next episode but I still need around 2 days or so to finish 1 episode... However towards the end it actually becoming less boring and I actually looking forward to the next episode...

Storyline is actually quite good, but there is too much plot hole.. Towards the ending there are too many information that not important have come out and actually more questions such as who the hell is Giraffe? At the ends he look like an undercover/assassin or something that haven't clearly being explained.. There are some unrealistic scene such as when NIS meet again with Soo-hyun why they are not showing any shocking emotion when they saw him.. Is it common to have someone to have the identical face??. They don't even assuming perhaps he have an identical twin or bother to push more on the DNA test..



Other than that.. I hate everyone else in this drama beside Soo-hyun.. Min Gi is annoying and too rash and doesn't want to hear what other have to say... He is ok at beginning but after Soo-hyun die.. He just becoming more and more annoying.. Haha Ji Woo even more annoying.. I have nothing against her but towards the end she becoming more and more annoying. She spoil the plan, keeps on interfering in everything.. I even want her to die actually.. She save Soo-hyun couple of times but she is too clingy and just can't stay quiet...

This is the scene where her stupidity being show clearly.. You already know he is in undercover stop calling him Soo-hyun!


 It funny that the final battle is look so much like the final battle in the RPG game.. Trying to show an epic final battle I guess.. Well it doesn't really work.. Even this drama have many emotional scene, I don't actually fell bad or sad.. It just like.. "Ohh he die?? Ok that stupid move ha made" something like that..

So anyway.. This review becoming longer than I have expected.. Well I guess I rate this drama 2  out of 5... Watch it again? Well I have better things to do..

Sorry for anyone who like this drama.. I guess I'm not the person who actually like Korean's action/thriller drama..

~Kei~

There is no decent synopsis so I'm gonna make my own... Anyway..

Synopsis :
This movie is a movie that combining Kamen Rider Den-O and Kamen Rider Kiva. This movie focus on Ryoutaro and the Den-Liner gang setting up an investigation regarding with missing pass.

Settle with the synopsis.. Now for the review.. My review.. Well I think this movie suppose to show more Kiva and Den-O. Instead this movie focus more on Ryoutaro and the gang.. Kinda disappointed actually.. I'm hoping to see more Wataru and Ryoutaro together.. I see Wataru like 2 or 3 scene only.. =.=;

Other than that.. The storyline is quite good... Well it can be much better but still enjoyable... I like the ending when there are Otoya in the last scene :D

Anyway.. This movie is enjoyable.. Actually I'm hoping more.. :( .. Well with that I rate this movie 3 out of 5... :D

p/s: I'm hoping to see an adult Hana.. I guess Hana will be a child throughout the show..

Grimm Season 1

Synopsis :

Portland detective, Nick Burkhardt, has seen some gruesome crime scenes, but nothing prepares him for the strange visions he begins seeing: seemingly regular people momentarily transforming into hideous monsters. A visit from his only living relative reveals the truth. Nick has inherited the ability to see supernatural creatures, and as a "Grimm," he is tasked with keeping the balance between mankind and the mythological. A reformed "Big Bad Wolf" becomes his greatest (and also reluctant) ally and confidant. It's not long before his work as a policeman leads Nick to the criminals he once thought were only found in fairy tales. Written by L. Hamre

Synopsis source : iMDb

Grimm is a detective story with supernatural elements.. So my opinion.. This tv-series is obviously made a references from the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm.. The first episode obviously from the Red riding hood.. Interesting on how they are making a references of the fairytales to this tv series...

From my opinion.. This tv-series is just ok.. Well I'm a big fan of Supernatural and watching this tv series is just ok.. So why I say so.. Compare to Supernatural, Grimm is more light horror/thriller story.. It doesn't make me scared or anything.. Each episode is entertaining but doesn't make me looking forward to the next episode.. This story is more like a detective story but having monsters as the culprit.. Something like that..


So what I don't like about this tv-series.. First of all.. His aunt, at the first or second episode there are some scene that indicate his aunt gonna tell a big secret and that is why the monster is aiming at her.. However at the end, even when she do wake up she doesn't say anything aside lie down and be sick.. What happen to the big secret?? Anyway.. This tv series have many potential to be a great tv series but it have too many plot hole regarding with the Grimm's background story.. Saying there are a big thing gonna happen but in the whole season nothing happen that indicate something serious is happening.. So each episode having the same formula.. Someone die, investigate, culprit is the monster and save the day.. It kinda boring actually..

What else, I like the idea of using the German term in this tv series like Blutbad.. But there is too many terms and I don't even remember any of them aside from Blutbad.. Haha.. Anyway nice concept but the terms make me confuse which one they are talking about...

So finally what I don't like is Juliet.. Is it just me or she kinda annoying towards the end?? Anyway.. I think hunter is better off alone..



With Manroe alongside Nick, this tv series becoming more funnier. I just hope they kept Monroe forever.. 


With that.. I think Grimm is another ok tv series that have a potential to be a great story... Great for people who wants to try to watch this horror/thriller kinda story.. Not scary at all haha.. Yeah with that I rate this tv series 3 out of 5.. :D

Synopsis :

Nobita requests of Doraemon the Moshimo-box and wishes for the world to become a place where the use of magic is possible. Witchcraft replaces science and technology and everyone makes use of it on their daily lives, except for Nobita, who, like usual, isn't very good at conjuring spells. Frustrated, he plans on returning things to their past state, but his mother threw the Moshimo-box away.
One day, Doraemon and his friends meet Professor Mangetsu, who studies magic and magical beings such as goblins, and his daughter Miyoko, and are warned of the dangerous approximation of the "star of the Underworld" to the Earth's orbit.
With the future of the planet at stake, the group must travel to the Underworld and pierce the heart of the Underworld King with a silver dart, as detailed in the ancient texts of "The Chronicles of the Underworld". Their attempts are, however, thwarted and Miyoko captured.
Doraemon and his friends then decided to use the Time Machine to return to the past and, using Dorami's Moshimo-box, they manage to restore the Earth. The events on the Underworld continue, however, to take place in a Parallel Universe, where Miyoko is still captive. As a result, the group is once again forced to travel to the Underworld and defeat its tyrannical ruler once and for all.

Synopsis source : myanimelist

So this movie is remake the 1984's movie.. This movie is a bit different from the manga.. For me it is a great difference.. The differences show more in depth characters and I feel more emotionally affected with this movie.. This movie have added Miyoko's mother in here...

However what I don't understand is what is the role of Miyoko and her father at the opening of movie... What they are researching anyway in the real world??

So anyway.. The storyline is good.. It is more adventurous than the original one.. I like it.. With that I rate this movie 4 out of 5...
