Of course, I landed on Q10 because of Sato Takeru. I mean, didn't most of us did? And at first I was pretty startled at the title and thought that it'll be the typical "human-robot-love-story".
But its not that "same" cyborg story we've all once heard or seen. It is a story of a boy who didn't know what feeling love held until he met Kyuto (the girl robot). Learning to love through a robot who is solely made for you :) Well, that caught me.
The acting cast is good and I believe that Heita's character couldn't be played by anyone else other than Take-kun alone. Atsuko-chan's acting and delivering the dialogues in a "straight-frank-mechanical" tone was good (won't judge hard as it would've took her so much practice to speak like that!). And yeah, the side characters did good as well.
Music is really nice. Instruments such as using xylophone to create sound matching to that of a robot is a pretty good idea. My favorite is "Heartbreak" played completely on the guitar and "Love" played partly on the piano.
The drama made me feel the right amount of sadness without stretching further and keeping the fact that "Heita loved Kyuto as much as he loved the world". Although I do admit that it took me time to understand the ending but nonetheless if you talk about re-watching this, I have been re-watching its last episode since the day I finished watching it.
I like short melodramas. And this one was a cute one. :) Give it a try . read more

The best thing about this show is that it's only eleven 20 minute episodes, so it doesn't necessarily feel like a waste of your time. And i'm not saying it's bad, but it is very flawed. The editing is all over the place, and a lot of the time, it feels like they filmed a bunch of scenes that explained things, but then cut them out. So you have people appearing in places with no explanation, and characters who don't seem to have a point in being in the show at all, and quite a few jarring cuts between scenes. They also tried to make the main bad guy the comic relief, which didn't suit the show at all.

The acting is good, I really liked the soundtrack, and the basic storyline was fine. But I still found it hard to get emotionally invested in the characters.

There were some very cool fight sequences though. read more

Let's Watch The Meteor Shower Again

This drama is more or less closer to HYD or the F4 series. It carries the same idea of a rich guy falling in love with a poor student who was once his enemy. But the scenes were different from what we had seen in HYD and fortunately there was less of the Nostalgic feeling while watching it.
It stars Zhang Han who is totally cool in this one.The chemistry between the student-couples was awesome too :P . This drama has so many twists and turns which you would not have seen in the former series.It totally deserves to be watched.
Though the drama has the same plot, it was really nice to watch it and one would never regret having watched it.

The Perfect Couple

If you like worthless, annoying, pathetic, wimpy, bothersome, high-pitch voiced, blah female leads, THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU!

The main male lead - was good, did everything right in acting, action and character portrayal. He was also great looking.

Plot/story - It was inconsistent and unsure of whether or not it wanted to be a serious action flick with humor, or completely nonsensical parody mocking Korean police and film work. Unrealistic in it's entirety - but not in a good way. Made up drama to create tension.

Ugh - a waste of a good male lead, stunt-men, and action scenes for this movie. Not funny either.

Save yourself the annoyance and find another movie. This is one of my worst reviews ever. :P

The Great Seer

The Great Seer really started slow but moved decently. It was not a flashy and a gripping sageuk but it has a very easy to understand and to follow depiction. It was done fairly in story and directing, but I was expecting more considering the talent of the cast. Nevertheless it was consistent in its filial love, brotherhood, and patriotism life lessons. The resident sageuk elements of swaying loyalties, indecisive protagonist, misplaced love were all in full swing and though minimal humor was evident, it didn’t go dry as it switches in each arc of the story.

Ji Jin Hee has always won me over in almost all his historical portrayals and Ji Sung oppa just has to smile and show his charming ways and I would willingly comply to his bidding. *chuckles This drama I thought would be focusing on Ji Sang’s oracle abilities that was passed on from his father but he equally shared the limelight with Lee Sung Gye and towards the end they leaned to the founding of Joseon after a long and exhausting road battle. It was a passing closure but I wished Ji Sang’s soothsayer abilities have been more pronounced when he was acting on it in the series.

The romance sadly though was also most of the time gasping and flat. I got that period dramas were more on wars, politics, throne grabbing and all, but if the love stories would just appear weak then either don’t include it or insert a workable and memorable love scenes. The redemption for the villains was present so even if it was quick, I will buy it, at least they have made the balance of the upper hand in this drama equally challenging for both the protagonists and antagonists.

The story moved in a flowing pace evading bewilderness and explaining instigations. There was a lull on the onset to establish the eventual strife on the “who wants to be the crown-holder” contest but all throughout I was not lost in the progress of the plot. That was the most positive thing about this drama… I didn’t have head-scratching moments and I didn’t question why the character had to do this and that. So although not that much vibrancy and even if the screenplay was not refined at least the writers didn’t write nonsensically. It even made me ponder on that realization of how the monarchy’s belief in superstition has caused serious repercussions to their judgment in running the country.

The Great Seer slowly stimulated me until I finished it. I learned a few things about geomancy as well. It won’t definitely have a second serving for me, but if you are trying to educate yourself with Korean history, this would be a great help as the founding of Joseon era was the culmination of the storyline of this period TV story.

Windstruck

Windstruck will definitely leave you all struck all right. The story was great. I loved how it opened up with a narrator and how it ended with one. At first I thought the narrator was the main male lead, but the ending showed it was someone else (watch My Sassy Girl first, then you will know what i mean). My Sassy Girl and Windstruck are related movies... Windstruck is like a prequel to My Sassy Girl, but you should watch that before Windstruck or else you might not get the storyline and it will just confuse you. I love how they incorporated almost every genre into one movie, it had: romance, comedy, drama/melodrama a bit of action as well.. what more can you ask for right?

The cast's were amazing, I love Jun Ji Hyun, she is such an amazing actress. She portrayed her character sooo well. Really loved her character as a strong sassy police woman. Also Jang Hyuk was awesome too, I really liked his character, he was soo funny xD And like an all rounder of a main character, it seemed like he was good at ALMOST everything! The other cast members were good too.

I liked the music, it was nice and simple. Also one of the OST's was beautiful because it had a piano (and I love the piano). It didn't have too many songs just 2 but that was more than enough for this movie. It didn't need too many songs.

Rewatch value - 10/10. I gave it a high rewatch value because I think I can watch this movie over and over again and not get tired of it because this movie has sooo many different aspect that it will just draw you back in and make you watch it again. Some of the scenes were filmed soooo beautifully and I love how they included the wind (hence the title Windstruck). It was really beautifully portrayed, so for that I would definitely watch it again.

Over all - 10/10. I have nothing more to say about this movie, it had everything a good movie has. All you have to do now is watch it.
P.S. do keep a tissue box with you because some scenes might make you cry (I know I cried a lot). But don't worry about the ending, you will definitely love it. read more

Ok so I wasn't gonna write a review but well I have to include some other things.

This drama was not outstanding. However, it is still a good drama. It includes a lot of cliches (your typical asian drama cliches) but still in a very unique way. The story doesn't drag at any moment and the it flows perfectly. Acting wise it was very good.

You will like this if

- You don't mind asian drama cliches. (IMPORTANT)
- Poor Girl- Rich guys stories.
- You are interested in jewerly.

If you don't like one of the 2 first points then I don't recommend you watching this.

So this drama is not that drama that you MUST see. However, if you like the plot and you are interested in it. WATCH IT! The drama is complex with a lot of misunderstandings and cliches but I find the message in the drama really nice. You can view this drama as the mix of the most typical asian dramas.

I was gonna stop at ep 5-6 because it was really similar to lots of rich boy rich girl drama out there. I continued though and I am happy about it. So I tell you don't stop there because you will regret it after. read more

This is my first review. I just felt I had to talk about this movie. I literally just finished watching it. (the credits are rolling as we speak). Wow this movie was absolutely beautiful. The acting was very well done by everyone. There were moments when I laughed. And there were many moments when I cried. In fact, it seemed like I spent a majority of this movie crying. My mom was giving me weird looks because I kept pausing the movie to get more tissues. Usually, I don't like to watch movies that make me cry. However, I was so moved by this movie. At the end, I still managed to smile and feel satisfied with the ending.
I'm really glad that I watched this movie and I feel this is definitely one that you should watch. Don't be intimidated by the fact that I was crying a ton. I still really enjoyed the movie and will definitely watch it again. read more

Some many twists and turns. Don't blink and don't turn your head. Jung Jae Young as the tortured Lt Choi and Park Shi Hoo as Doo Suk were excellent. The supporting cast also did a great job in reeling you into the story. The action sequences like the car chase, the alley chase as well as the ending scenes were well done and choreographed. Like I said, don't turn your head or fast forward because you will miss some serious details. Park Shi Hoo should do more action. His scene in the elevator was great to watch. Here's hoping for a comeback in the movies. Still can't wrap around my head people saying this was boring! Never a dull moment to me. But be warned, this is NOT a romance!! read more

The movie is a direct adaptation of the manga. Nearly all the points in the plot are there, and more over are played really well. Not only the characters look like those in the book, but also portray their emotions very well.
Although the story seems quite depressing there's a lot of positive emotions. The plot therefore may appeal to many young people on who are to start an adult life. It's also about the importance of friendships and relations with others.
Obviously it revolves around music - which was really well matched to the overall feeling of the movie. It is very raw and full of emotions those bad and good, longing and happiness.
A something to come back to, definitely.
