Movie: Summer Time Machine Blues

Just watched Summer Time Machine Blues. WOW. Now that’s what I call a movie. It’s funny, got great actors (Ueno Juri and Eita) and pretty damn clever plot to boot. Definitely something you need and want to watch twice immediately, not because it’s confusing but because you want to catch everything you missed the first time round. Oh, I love this little movie.
Basically, it’s about one seriously hot summer at this club house kind of thing. A group of friends break the remote to the air con. Out of nowhere, …

Jdramas 2: Reviews and Ratings

Shock horror! Major update alert. I want to really make use of this website so I thought might as well make the effort and write regularly about something I really love! And so I’ve tweaked the layout (well I snagged a template) which makes it so much prettier and more like a magazine of sorts.
So here’s a continuation of my Jdramas: Reviews and Ratings. You can see the first part here. Now I’ll continue with Ryusei No Kizuna, Oh My Girl!, Bloody Monday, Innocent Love, Hakei, Chichiue sama, Nobuta Wo …

Drama Round Ups for November

It’s a bit of a catch up this month. I finished watching Honey and Clover! You can scroll down to read my brief thoughts on it here.
I’ve got quite a few dramas on the go now. I’m really enjoying Oh My Girl! and Ryuusei No Kizuna. I’ve also got Innocent Love and The World We Live In sitting in my computer waiting to be watched.
I watched both Kizarazu Cat’s Eye movies. I really forgot how much I adored that series. It was great to see all the characters again. Now …

My Lovely Sam Soon American Remake!

Yes the title is pretty self explanatory. I heard it first on ohnotheydidnt! Been looking around for official news but can’t find the source. Apparently an NBC American remake of My Lovely Sam Soon is in the works!

I think it’s a storyline that has real potential to work for a Western audience. It would make a wonderful fluffy drama.
The thing is, I really don’t want it to be a success. I’m sort of scared of what it might start! What next? Hana Yori Dango? Hana Kimi? Nodame Cantabile? (those are …

Dramas I’m watching at the moment

I usually update this in my ‘currently’ page but I actually want to keep a record of my thoughts instead of re editing the page. So I’m posting here too.
Right now I’m wading through the drama, Honey and Clover. I’ve heard it’s quite bad but I’m going to watch it anyway. So far the visuals are stunning. It’s not as bad as I had thought but I think I may be hitting the area where some characters are starting to annoy me. But hey, four episodes in and I’m still …

The Korean Makino

As you may know there’s going to be a Korean remake of Hani Yori Dango. They’ve finally found Makino! She’s going to be played by Gu Hye-sun.

I’m just happy the role didn’t go to Eun Hye (just because she seems to be in everything). As for Gu Hye-sun, I don’t actually know anything about her. There’s some internet hoo ha about her being too old to play the role of a high school student but honestly it’s nothing new. I’m pretty sure everyone in The OC, bar Mishca Barton, were in …
