  • The Invisible Guest

    1. The Invisible Guest

    Chinese Movie - 2023

    9.5

    Dec 8

    * I liked that it's not an exact replica of the original. The essence is the same but with changes to how the situation arises with the same conclusion. Enjoyable movie.

  • Ha Rak Duai Jai Thoe

    2. Ha Rak Duai Jai Thoe

    Thai Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    7.5

    Dec 18

    Positives: less episodes than original. Less time apart between main couple. Brother is less of a hypocrite. Negatives: 2ML is more annoying as is the 2FL. Chemistry between MC is less evident and not as enjoyable. ML is more immature than the original.

  • The Sand Flower

    * Good story and suspense. Was hoping for a redemption arc. End was unnecessarily drawn out.

  • Shining For One Thing: The Movie

    7. Shining For One Thing: The Movie

    * As a standalone movie, it is all right. I enjoyed it more after recapping the drama. Especially the bonus scene.

  • Marry My Husband

    8. Marry My Husband

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    8.0

    Jan 1 

    * slower build up compared to Perfect Marriage Revenge although ep 9 and 10 were the best as the revenge finally started. Slowed again and then picked up in the last 3 episodes. Conclusion was satisfying just felt like everything was way too complicated.

  • Love Song for Illusion

    9. Love Song for Illusion

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    7.0

    Jan 2nd

    *Interesting first 2 episodes. ML is supposed to have DID but they created a fantasy element where others can be pulled into the world created by the personalities which was a bit much. End was all right. If only it was executed a bit better and stuck to a historical fiction.

  • Le Jeu de la Mort Partie 2

    * First 2 episodes were great. Interesting mystery. Not really scary. Suspense was good but some aspects seem quite senseless with the final reveal.

    Jan 26th

    * FL is annoying but hopefully that will be sorted soon. ML is great. Looking forward to him doing well as well as being humbled beyond the first 2 episodes. Good series with different cases in each episode. Slightly predictable towards the end but makes for a fun watch and not very heavy.

  • The Wilderness

    23. The Wilderness

    Korean Movie - 2024

    Jan 26

  • Doctor Slump

    24. Doctor Slump

    Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

    9.5

    Jan 27

    * Might be the first slice of life series that I will be enjoying right off the bat. I like the humour and the realism. Good chemistry between the leads in first 2 episodes. Loving the friendship between the leads. Good topic - depression and PTSD. Plus I love the element of suspense so far. Strong series in the 6 episodes. Green flag ML and a wonderful ending. Every episode was worth the watch.

  • My Boyfriend x My Friend

    25. My Boyfriend x My Friend

    Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

  • Persist Until the End

    26. Persist Until the End

    Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    Jan 31st 

    * First 2 episodes were all right with most of the interest developing in the 2nd episode. 3rd and 4th are enjoyable with some interesting turns.

    * I enjoyed watching for the most part. ML was an unreal exaggerated character. FL's character was more realistic despite being unlikeable. A cliched ending which was disappointing. Good acting by the cast. OST was nice too.

    * It's concept isn't original but it still feels fresh. The comedy includes unexpected actiactions and dialogues and made me chuckle multiple times in the first 3 episodes. Love the comradery and teamwork. Didn't end as strongly as it started but definitely reminds you lots of Taxi Driver.

  • City ​​Hunter

    Best characters were the secondary ones. First you are annoyed by the FL and then the ML becomes super irritating. Couldn't enjoy the series because of that. Didn't care much for them.

    A mixed genre series - romcom with suspense/thriller. I'm enjoying the suspense aspect more than the chemistry between the leads. The older version of the FL is a pretty good actress. Lots of fun moments. Quite funny. Liked the ending. For once they didn't depict a helpless FL which is always a positive.
