minato niyo pabebeng immature :((

Minato's Laundromat (2022)

• Japan | 12 eps
• it has a runtime of 26 min each
★ Starring Kusakawa Takuya and Nishigaki Sho

• about kay minato akira na may laundry and isang high school student, shintaro katsuki. for me, this season is not a love story at all.
• isa rin ito sa nai-drop ko last year bc i didn't find its ep 1 promising, pero dahil nasa mood na me panoorin ito nagustuhan ko naman na hanggang mag end
• altho naiintindihan ko naman si akira na pinipigilan niya sarili niya makipagcommit kay shin, naiinis pa rin ako sa kaniya kasi naaawa na ko kay shin hmp naging ship ko tuloy si shin at asuka HSHAHHAHSHAHS may spark kaya^^
• ako lang ba nakapansin na may hawig si Kusakawa Takuya kay Zhang Zhehan?
• i love shin's expression, kitang kita talaga sa face niya kung ano nararamdaman niya. hindi ba bumibigay si akira do'n? paano niya natitiis 'yon?!!
• sa last ep na inamin ni akira feelings niya towards shin, pero mag study muna si shin kaya hindi pa official label nila, ig. i can conclude na hindi talaga 'to love story kasi puro pagpapakipot lang ni akira nandito hahahhaha
• i think 10 yrs yata age gap nila pero okay naman sa'kin 'yon bc i believe in love, age is just a number ^__^
• i give it 6/10!

an apple to my eye

• Taiwan | movie
• it has 1 hr & 49 min runtime
★ Starring Kai Ko and Michelle Chen

• this movie reminded me of the taiwanese movie "Our Times"
• i bawled my eyes out. kinompose ko pa sarili ko for this review kasi i was devastated. ganito 'yung nafeel ko nung may nagreco din sa'kin ta's hindi ako nawarningan na nakakaiyak. It is also recommended to me, nakakainis kasi hindi ako prepared. i thought it's just a simple straight romance */nagcry at hinagis 'yung tv/
• ang dami kong naalala here na nagpaaalala sa'king masarap maging estudyante kapag may tropa kang puro kalokohan & masaya makipagkaibigan sa mga lalaki. ay beh iba rin magseryoso sa pag-aaral mga bartikal, proven and tested. way back in elem, nakipagbeat din sa'kin one classmate ko ta's unexpectedly nataasan pa score ko kaya hindi ko na inulit hahahaha he used to be a good friend of mine. tulad nila, naranasan ko rin mapalabas sa klase, magsquat, maging childish, ma-in love, mabroken at makuntento---pero hindi ako kuntento sa ending nito tnginuhh
• kaya malapit ang loob ko sa mga troublemaker kasi masarap sila magmahal, immature or childish man sila kung titignan, iba 'yung nabibigay nilang saya at comfort sa taong special sa kanila.
• do'n pa lang sa part na concern si chia yi sa grades ni ko teng, may good feelings na e. why does she bother abt sa grades eh hindi naman niya kaano ano diba? she likes him first, desisyon ako! she likes him first, but he fell harder gano'n
• kaya pala ako pinasaya nung una kasi babawiin sa bittersweet ending
• nakakainis, nakakainiss, supeeer nakakainisss!!????
• hindi mo na naman ako binigo, taiwan. a 9/10 for my shed tears T___T

don't buy a house.

• korean film with a runtime of 2hr & 11min that portrayed the life of the poor and the rich
• need din dito ng deep understanding kasi may mga scenario na mapapagasp ka muna bago mo magrasp
• ang galing umacting ng cast but since hindi naman ako lagi nanonood ng kdrama kaya hindi ko alam name nila ang tawag ko ay "si cinderella & the four knights" "si our beloved summer" ang sh0nget talaga ng thoughts ko madalas lol. sobrang hinahangaan ko talaga si Choi Woo Shik the way na eexpress niya 'yong emotions niya, kitang kita sa face and actions niya 'yong feelings na pinapahatid niya sa viewers. i think may sinisymbolize 'yong bato ro'n. btw, nakita ko pala na hawig ng pres namin si choi woo shik no'ng nasa madilim na scene siya hahahaha doon lang naman
• it's disturbing to watch, grabe 'yong plot twist hindi ko 'yon napredict
• open-ended, ano kayang mangyayari ro'n kay mr. kim sa basement? hanggang kailan siya magtatago? kailan siya mahuhuli? akala ko nakuha na no'ng anak niya 'yong bahay, imagination?? kumusta na 'yong lalaki na nagreco kay giwoo? inahas na bebe mo huyy.
• since sawa na ko sa happy ending at nagccrave ako ng tragedy, i'd rate it a 9/10!!

swift moves as its finest

• This is a film with a running time of 135 minutes. As I said, my expectations for Japanese adaptations are high. Altho hindi ko napanood anime nito since hindi nga ako mahilig sa anime, sobrang nakuha ako nito. Kung may irerecommend akong medyo ka-same vibes ng movie na 'to, i would recommend the "Word of Honor" & "The Untamed" series.

• Pinanood ko 'to kasi nakita ko nareco sa fb na ang sabi mas maganda raw 'to compared sa One Piece LA, and hindi naman ako nabigo. thnx!!

• The story centers on a former assassin who quit murdering, but his pledge was put to the ultimate test.

• For me, mas hawig siya ng Word of Honor, this is one of my favorite series. Nakita ko si Zhou Xu kay Himura Kenshin. They have a lot in common, since nagdecide sila both magstop sa pagiging murderer naging both lowkey wanderer sila, same sila ng pananamit, same na may unique sword (i think hindi nabanggit kung saan galing sakabato sword ni kenshin), both protector, & the damn swift moves!!!! Btw, i like the details of where Kenshin's scars came from.

• Maganda fighting stance ni Kenshin, well executed ang mga fighting scenes (this is the reason why i love historical drama). He's not Hitokiri Battousai without the stance of battoujutsu >>>

• Battousai vs. mask guy & battousai vs. fake battousai are my favorite fighting scenes.

• Sa scene bandang 94:25 - 94:30 pinakita 'yong swift moves at do'n ako napasabi na hawig talaga sila ng WOH. Napasigaw ako d'yan no'ng nakita ko 'yong familiar na moves, kuhang kuha ako ng mga gano'ng skills, Hitokiri Battousai luluhuran?‍♀️

• If i had to choose between battousai and zhou xu, potah saksakin n'yo na lang aq T____T

• Jin-e said to kenshin "No matter what hitokiri is hitokiri. You won't be able to pretend to be just a rurouni forever." siya 'yong kumuha ng old katana ni kenshin, that's why he was called fake battousai.

• "When someone is killed, hatred is born. The hatred brings another murder. To break this chain, is a purpose of this sword which does not kill." (Kenshin)

How long will Kenshin be able to maintain his word? Will he truly never murder again, even if innocent people are in danger? I have one more question, who is Kaoru in Kenshin's life?

• I liked the plot, camera angle, transition, and intense ost. Kaya gusto ko rin ng mga japanese adaptation kasi iba atake ng visuals nila!! For me, Kenshin resembles Boun, whereas in Kaoru, i see Kathryn. Altho nakulangan ako sa background stories ng mga characters as if i was still looking for smth but this is all goods.

• Baka sa sequel super masatisfy ako, pero binibigyan ko pa rin 'to ng solid 10/10!!!

not that promising

• Inabangan ko talaga 'to mula nang nailabas ang trailer (pero hindi naman pinanood 'yon ew). Ngayon ko lang natapos kasi tinamad pa ko kahit 1 last ep na lang papanoorin ko lol.

Panoorin niyo 'to if nagustuhan niyo ang The Gifted/TGG, Blacklist, & Girl From Nowhere since pare-pareho silang mystery/thriller na may sinosolve na issue sa school, those are also non-bl.

For me, hindi ito gano'n kaganda like sa mga nabanggit kong ka-same vibes nito. Hindi gano'n kapromising 'yong story na feeling ko wala ng bago kasi parang nakita ko na lahat, maybe gano'n na siya kacommon sa'kin. But superb ang camera angle, transition, cast/acting, cinematography, and visuals.

• Nagustuhan ko visuals nilang lahat lalo na sina jane at film (my gf). Bet na bet ko red highlights sa hair ni maki, kung ikukumpara sa unang trailer mas maganda visual niya sa pangalawa. Nagkaroon kasi ng changes sa cast kaya kung mapapansin niyo wala 'yong iba sa naunang trailer sa mismong series dahil may conflict sa sched. (baka magtaka kayo kung bakit ko 'yon alam even tho hindi ko pinanood ang trailer, nakita ko kasi sa tiktok 555555)

• About chemistry naman, tinawag kong f4 sina tibet, maki, white, & nai since lagi silang magkakasama. I love their chemistry, pero fav ship ko sina pennhung & pheng sobrang cuteee nila, ang sarap maging inosente hindi complicated <333

• Master Prasath's character really impressed me. Nakakainis siya sa galing magmanipulate, his expression creeps me out. Thumbs up for Chalad Na Songkhla!!

• Other things I noticed are:
- Naalala ko The Eclipse sa uniform nila.
- Setting ng school nila may vibes ng Hell University ng watty.
- Gun top-tier acting skills >>>
- Master Amin young version, archen's my bf?
- Father & son relationship nina Master Amin at Run
- Character development esp jingjai and hugo

• With the appearance of Zero naging cliffhanger ang ending nito kaya expected na may season 2. Khaotung, the finest. POGI SO MUCH SA BAD BOY LOOK!!

• Home School taught me to cherish others, to see the importance of love, and to avoid letting rage or hatred turn you into a monster. Overall, home school taught me the value of friendship. An 8/10!!

OSUMmer

• Mabilis lang ako manood ng series, but I watched this for one week bc it was draining for me. Bakit ko 'to pinanood? Matagal ko na 'to nakita sa tiktok (oo, tiktok na naman lol) nakita ko kasi 'yong edited clips na "what if your greatest what if" eneme and that got my interest. May summer pati ang title kaya nakuha ako. As a masokista, mahilig talaga ako sa mga mapanakit na drama (wala po akong pake sa mental health ko yes po hahaha) itong kdrama na 'to ang hinahanap ko sa isang drama, gusto ko 'yong solid na pain. Mula ep 3 hanggang ep 11 umiiyak ako, relate kasi yata ako.

• Familiar na 'to sa'kin si Choi Woo Shik dahil napanood ko na 'yong drama niya na "Boy Next Door" na mistaken as bl lang pala. Hindi siya gano'n kaattractive sa'kin kasi hindi siya matangkad pero ang nagustuhan ko sa kaniya is 'yong sexy eyes niya, & magaling siya mag-express ng emotions even tho walang words--his facial expressions >>>

• Tungkol 'to sa isang top student at worst student na ginawa'n ng documentary no'ng summer high school pa sila, and nagkadevelopan sila. Naging sila no'ng last shoot then nagtagal ang rs nila, if I'm not mistaken naging sila mga 5 years ta's nagbreak.

• Since mapaglaro ang destiny ay nagkita ulit ang mag-ex lovers unexpectedly (work-related). Binigyan ako ng idea ni Choi Ung kung anong gagawin ko kapag nakita ko ulit ex ko HAHAHAHA chz, gusto ko kasi 'yong ginawa niya. For me, hindi 'yon harsh walang-wala pa 'yon sa sakit na nakuha niya. Deserve 'yon ni Yeon Su bc mapride siya, medyo magkalevel kami ng pride kaya hindi ko rin siya magawang i-hate lol.

• Ji Ung said "Choi Ung is the kind of person who isn't afraid to be in pain if he can make others suffer," ako 'to last year kaya nakarelate ako sa line na 'to at idc kung pareho kaming nasaktan basta hindi ako magsosorry sa ginawa ko hahaha sinasadya ko 'yon.

'Yong sinabi naman ni Choi "Attack is the secret of defense", gaguu ginawa ko rin 'to last year HAHAHAHAHAHA kaya proud na proud ako kay Choi Ung napakastrong.

For me lang ha, unique mag-isip 'tong si Choi Ung natuwa ako sa sinabi niyang "I'm buying time for them so we can have a calm conversation". Imagine lagi niyang tinatakbuhan kapag nag-aaway or may prob sila kasi para mabawasan 'yong emotions at makapag-usap sila nang maayos, very clever huh.

• May pagka Yeon Su nga ang behavior ko kaya sobrang sakit no'ng pinaliwanag ni Choi Ung 'yong nararamdaman niya tuwing sinasabi ni Yeon Su na ok lang siya gan'to ganiyan kahit hindi naman, na walang magawa si Choi Ung kundi tanggapin kasi feeling niya wala naman siyang magagawa, and it hit me hard na nagkaroon ako ng reflection sa sarili ko (tama na po masakit na hahaha ems). Maraming nagsabi na boring daw 'to, but I think kaya lang nila nasasabi 'yon is hindi lang sila relate. Although slow paced 'to, nakuha ako. Maganda ang drama na 'to lalo na kung heartbroken ka ta's ito pinapanood mo ay nako ilang beses ka magrerelapse kasi gano'n ito karelatable.

• I like that Ji-Ung and NJ had a POV.

• Ji Ung and Choi Ung friendship >>>

• Choi Ung didn't draw people even his parents, but Yeon Su was the only exception <33

• Parang medyo rushed ang ending, anong itsura na ng drawing ni Choi Ung? Kumusta na si grandma? Bakit nakahiwalay sa series 'yong ginawang documentary tinatamad tuloy ako panoorin 'yon hmp.

• Being abandon is scary, but I really like that Choi Ung confronted it in the end.

• Gumagana ba ang s2 sa kdrama? gusto ko sequel ta's about kay Ji Ung naman (meron ba?), interested po ako sa kaniya dahil siya ang aking fav character sa series na 'to.

• I really believe in second chances kaya binibigyan ko ito ng solid 10/10!!

not your typical bl

• napanood ko agad ep 1 nito when it was just airing no'ng march, pero may smt sa'kin na sinasabing hindi pa ko ready sa plot nito dahil alam ko kung saan papunta ang story, and i'm glad na ngayon ko lang tinuloy para mas magrasp at hindi ko dibdibin masyado ang flow. this is not new to me dahil nakaencounter na rin naman ako ng ibang polygamous series like "3 will be free" ng gmm but this MMHMHBF is different from it. so i thought that would be the setup of their relationship, but i was wrong!!

• it's stated na there are various form of likings at pwede kang magmahal ng more than one at the same time. medyo naintindihan ko ang concept nito pero masasabi kong hindi ako para sa ganitong situation. maganda ang pinaparating na message ng series na 'to dahil may kaniya-kaniya silang point na masasabi kong tama at hindi ko naman 'yon basta majjudge since magkakaiba talaga tayo ng preferences when it comes to the idea of love.

• maganda script, color grading, acting, transition, ost, & the storyline is heavy like mapapaisip na lang ako kung ano kayang susunod na mangyayari or paano nila masosolve 'yong conflict to achieve the happiness they want? my baby kyoya honda and furukawa never disappoint me!! ganda rin visual ni akane parang may dugong barretto gano'n^^

• i give it a 9/10 since naiba nito ang mindset ko in different types of love at rs na pwede magkaroon ang isang tao.

ghost x human

• obvious naman sa title kung ano magiging storyline nito, & yes tungkol 'to sa isang police na nakapulot ng red envelope not knowing that will lead to him marrying a ghost.
• i can say na maganda ang flow ng story since magaganda talaga mostly ang napproduce ng taiwan. this is not a love story at all, but it's still a good way to waste time. nag-expect nga lang ako ng isang kiss pero wala bEh, lumbay.
• halata naman na may edited na mga scenes but the editing skills are good. also, casts are good. maraming scenes na natawa ako, and sa part na nagtanong 'yong co-worker "who are you talking to?" ta's teary eyed aq sa sagot ni wu ming han na "my husband" T___T
• overall, ito 'yong movie na kareco-reco kasi masasabi kong may quality, maganda ang twist, and hindi gano'n kalumbay ang ending unlike sa MODC (ang layo hane pero naisip ko kasi modc lol). want ko ng sequel nito ta's magmeet ulit sila pls pls pls!!

cute & fluffy yet i was unable to make it my favorite

• it concerns Kawi's life and how it changed after he got the crystal ball
• malaki talaga expectation ko sa bl ng gmm since napanood ko na lahat ng narelease nilang bl at nakikita ko 'yong improvement sa production ng mga proj. nila, and hindi naman ako nabigo rito bc maganda ang production, pati music and cast are good.
• once again, i am peraya fan pero aaminin ko na iba rin ang chemistry ni gawin at krist. ngayon ko lang naappreciate visual ni gawin unlike sa enchanté era na wala me pake sa kaniya hehe.
• hindi naman gano'n ka-unique ang storyline nito, but bc mahilig ako sa time travel naintriga ako kaya pinanood ko agad 'to no'ng airing pa lang. but in the middle of the story nawala ang spark namin ng series na 'to, dagdag pa 'yong twist kay pisaeng no'ng nagconfine si kawi napa "lah nuyun?" ako. shuta hindi ko inexpect 'yon kasi inikot na dati ni pisaeng 'yong crystal ball wala namang nangyari, how come na sa pag-ikot niya uli ng crystal ball, something happened?? pakiexplain!!
• it's cute and i also noticed that their faculty is humanities, hindi kasi siya masyadong common knowing na puro engineering, archi, & law ang sakop na program ng mga typical na bl. how 'bout educ naman po?
• i like pisaeng's line "don't let anything that was already through affect you in the present", kasi lahat ng nangyari sa past ay part ng buhay mo na nakapagpagrow sa'yo. you must live to the fullest. don't worry about the future; instead, focus on today and be grateful for the things you have now rather than regretting them later^^

so-so

• a film from strongberry with a duration of 27 min
• so here's the story, nagbike si Dong Soo ta's nasemplang siya and nakarating siya sa farm nina In Pyo at Sang Bae. Nando'n lang siya hanggang gumaling sugat niya, and Dong Soo found out na gay si In Pyo dahil sa box na may lamang condom (??) tsaka poster ng "Long Time No See" (series from strongberry, top 1 fav ko na prinoduce ng sb). So do'n na nagsimula na magkaroon sila ng feelings at makabuo ng rs.
• btw, natawa ko sa entrance ni In Pyo do'n sa intro, ang shala ng pasok with maangas na bg music hahahalol. gusto ko lang din i-note 'yong pagsneak peek ni in pyo sa bike short/cycling ni dongsoo, pansin ko 'yon ikaw ha 0_o??
• i found epic sa pagbagsak ni Dong Soo sa farm. And i loved it that he came back in the end!
• 5/10

rain makes me lonely as well

• first of all, i have no expectations for this series. mostly kasi na narrelease last month na thai bl ay hindi nakukuha 'yong interest ko, but this series ay masasabi kong may potential. it's all about soulmate stuff na kapag umulan ay magkakaroon ng hearing loss (which is rare stated in the story) at ang maririnig lang ay ang "soulmate".
• second, sobrang lss ko sa intro nito na "is this the real love" by boy sompob?‍♀️ parang ang sarap ma-in love sa song na 'yan. halos 6 eps yata hindi ko naskip ang intro f na f ba naman ihh lol.
• third, all goods naman ako sa acting nakuha emotions ko lalo na sa break up thing. maraming umayaw kay lomfon maybe nasira image niya sa ginawa niya, but naintindihan ko 'yon. goods din ang visuals ng cast masyadong pogi kaya siguro kay lomfon ako since hindi siya sobrang pogi pero ang tangkad bEh! fav character ko yata si lomfon, idk, attracted lang siguro 'ko sa matalino ta's introvert & may confidence >>>
• fourth, may ep na lumagapak 'to. maybe we got lost in translation maybe i ask for too much? ang eme hane. may ep kasi na parang sobra na 'yong paulit ulit na flashback kahit hindi naman need, sayang kaya oras. hindi ko rin maintindihan bakit naging tatlo 'yong mag soulmate, ang landi ng destiny gano'n?? HUYY SOBRANG DAMING SCENE ANG NAHULAAN KO & YES GANO'N ITO KAPREDICTABLE or baka ako lang 'to ?‍♀️
• lastly, gusto ko pa ng lomfon & sangtien moments (bias ako kaya lakong pake kay patts at tai basta ok na ko na happy sila hahaha). i love enemies to lovers trope kaya kahit eye contacts lang nagwawala mga lamang loob ko sa kilig. btw, kinarma raw si lomfon sa ending, bet ko reaction ni tien "tay laew" HAHAHAHA lahat na may hearing loss shuta akala ko ba rare?!
• la pluie is a french word that means "the rain"
