[J-Drama Review] Nagareboshi

Intro

Story
It is a really touching story, I felt like it had a unique atmosphere it was slow but not boring.

The drama really grows and develops well.

Acting/Cast
I like Aya Ueto's dramas a lot as I believe and |I have to say that this is her best one very different style of role compared to her previous ones. Acting was excellent overall which made the characters feel dynamic and made the drama work really well.

Music
Nothing special to comment regarding the music but it fitted in the drama nicely.

[K-Movie Review] My P.S. Partner

[K-Movie Review] On Your Wedding Day


Really clever film about from the guy's perspective

The 10 Best K-drama Couples of All Time

1. Weightlifting Fairy

[K-Movie Review] Parasite


Intro:
This movie had won many awards including the first foreign movie to win "Best Picture" at the Oscars. I was so excited to watch this movie and here is my review!

Story:
The story is really clever, it does do a good job on showing two sides of society the rich and poor.
It starts off as a like comedy / drama then slowly gets darker then becomes a thriller which it starts to explode. It was a very good build up for the most part.

My few issues where the film did not demonstrate/show where it was left to us to assume and even our own interpretations on certain things. The biggest issue was the transitions (especially later on) into each act as it did not feel smooth which sort of breaks the immersion.

Acting / Cast:
A great cast which was what made the film, all the characters felt right and well acted and kept to the tone of Parasite.

Music:


Overall:
It is a very good movie for sure but I would not call it the best K-Movie or a masterpiece.
Despite some of my feelings on the movie, it is a movie I would recommend to watch at some point.

My Score : 8.5/10 (I like it)

Seeing this being highly rated and being an ice hockey fan already had me excited but after watching it, wow. Considering that it is also based on a true story adds that extra level which this movie didn't even need. It will probably go into my top 10 favourite movies and I mean not just korean, the movie is that good!
