updates — Mermaid Melody and Playful Kiss

Published by

My exams are coming! So this website will be pretty cold for a while, but I promise I will try and put short updates when I have time, like now:D SO I’ve decided to sorta ditch Mermaid Melody after watching 13 episodes at one go. I think I got sick of it, especially since I watched so many episodes at once. I felt like I was watching a kindergarden show! I mean it’s fine to have a young target audience, but I was more perplex that the person who recommended it to me is 20 years old and told me it’s fabulous. [she just watched it mind you]. Basically, a mermaid Lucia saves human Kaito’s life. So one day Lucia became a human to find Kaito [and to get sth of hers back] but Kaito didn’t realise it’s her because her human form and her mermaid form are drastically different. [supposedly]. That much is still very sweet. So she works hard to remind Kaito who she is; she can’t reveal her own identity by herself because then she …

LIAR GAME The Final Stage Review

Published by

O my gosh this is one of the best movies I have ever watched! It's really fantastic and brilliant, and it's easier to understand the plot and the schemings as compared to the dramas.All right, I know it's out quite a few months ago but what can I doD: I refuse to watch it online and my country's only showing it now. Gomen ne~ The movie opened with the familiar Liar Game music and I was captivated from the start ALL the way till the end. [ Yes, putting aside the fact that I was momentarily distracted by my urge to…. answer some. ahem. call]  So, after all obstacles and determination, Kanzaki Nao [ Toda Erika ] and Shinichi Akiyama [ Matsuda Shota ] finally arrived at the Final Stage. Even though Nao didn't want to attend this stage, it was orchestrated such that she believed Akiyama needed her help and so she turned up at the island where the last game was to be held. The final stage is titled ' Garden Of Eden' where players had …

What you think you can find in a Korean Drama… and you probably would.

Published by

Previous post, I said that I will post an entry on the cliches of Korean Dramas and I was so inspired to write, I decided that no time is better than now. So let’s get started! What you think you can find in a Korean Drama and you probably would: 1.       Korean drama characters get sick in the rain very easily. Characters here fall sick so easily. They run in the rain, they walk in the rain, they get emotional in the rain, heck, they SING in the rain, what awaits them? Fever. Well, and also a very caring other lead, be it male or female, who will take care of him/her. If it’s not the rain that makes them sick then it is (refer to point number 2)  2.       Korean drama characters have poor immune systems. This means that they get sick from working overtime or even a broken heart. Does that sound better?  3.       The male characters are superb at making u-turns. Is it just me, or have you ever notice how the …

Personal Preference Review

Published by

Personal Preference! The first thing I have to say is — if you hated Lee Min Ho from BOF because of his hair, his character and everything else, don’t let that stop you from watching Personal Preference! All right, on with the synopsis of the story. Jeon Jin Ho ( Lee Min Ho) is an aspiring architect who is really good but is always defeated by Chang Ryul (Kim Ji Suk) and his evil father. As Jin Ho did not want to go down without a fight, he decided to partake in the competition to see who gets to build the upcoming mega project — the Dam Art Gallery. He heard rumours that this gallery was supposed to be based on the concept of Sanggojae, a traditional korean house. He could not understand why and he grabbed the opportunity to move into Sanggojae when the chance arrived. However, he was misunderstood to be gay by Kae In (So Ye Jin), the landlady of the house. Kae In was just recently hurt by her relationship with Chang Ryul, who, …

Nodame Cantabile Live Action Drama + Movie Review

Published by

  NODAMEEEEE! Okay sorry:P That was the fangirl side of me going slightly crazy over this fantastic live action drama. I absolutely love the characters in here and the music as well! I actually watched the drama a long time ago but I decided that I would only blog a review about it when I finally watched the Movie. Which I did. FINALLY. YES. So. Nodame (Ueno Juri) is a really innocent and sweet girl who is a really really talented pianist. She loves playing by the ear and because of this, she cannot sightread well. She is really messy and dirty. In fact, her appartment is recognised by the heaps and heaps of soft toys and don’t-know-what-else junk. Enters the handsome guy of the story, Chiaki ( Tamaki Hiroshi. AHHH) who is also a very talented pianist. In fact he’s talented at everything. He can play the violin, he can play the piano, but the thing that he wants to do the most is to go to Vienna ( I think) and be a famous …

Dance In The Vampire Bund Review

Published by

I was trying to look for animes that are ongoing and quite recent and I was hooked on DANCE IN THE VAMPIRE BUND! There’s just something interesting about vampires. Think Vampire Knight. However, Dance in the Vampire Bund is nothing like Vampire Knight! Well, if you want to talk about the most obvious things, DITVB is created for ecchi purposes which means that most characters can’t help but succumb to the urge to strip or show some body parts. To me anyway. It was relatively disturbing for me as I am quite new to the anime and manga world, seeing as I have been previously swimming in the drama ocean. Nevertheless, I kept on because of the story plot which really draws me in. Princess Mina is the Vampire Queen and she strives to keep a healthy relationship between the vampires and the humans. She sets out to achieve this by manipulating the Japan’s economy so that they have no chance but to allow her and her vampires to settle down in a piece of land that is in Japan. …

Special A Review

Published by

I was watching Kaichou Wa Maid Sama anime recently but since I have finished watching the existing episodes, I decided to watch another anime that was very popular and that is -drumrolllll- SPECIAL A! tadahh. I’ve heard that Kaichou Wa Maid Sama is highly similar to Special A, and so out of curiosity I checked it out! Indeed, the characters, at least the two main ones, share a lot of similarities. The girls are both strong, hardworking and equally a dunce when it comes to love and feelings. The guys are perfect, handsome and cool, though I have yet to find out if the one in Kaichou is as rich as the one in Special A. So, what do I think of this anime? It is quite funny and sweet! The pairing may be a little cliche and all, but I think what really touches me is the friendship. Somehow, friendships to me are the sweetest things ever and in Special A, there’s a lot of friendships forged and strengthened! Kei, Hikari, Jun, Megumi, Ryuu, Akira and …

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge Review

Published by

                                                   The only reason why I started watching this was because I realised that it was based on The Wallflower, ( a manga that my friend loves but I never got to read it). Basically, the plot is about how these four ikemen ( handsome guys)who live together in a boarding house and the landlord wants them to turn her niece into a lady. Her niece, Sanoko ( Oomasa Aya) is… weird. She is somone who loves horror too much, who squeals at the sight of blood, who sleeps in a confin-like bed ( I wonder how she breathes in there?) and etc. The landlord promises that if the four of them manage to turn her into a lady, they will not need to pay their rent ever. EVER. This sure sounded good to Kyohei, ( the supposedly-most-handsome guy among the four, acted by Kamenashi Kazuya) and so he works hard to turn her normal. Soon, however, the four of them get to love Sanoko as who she is and they begin to wonder what really is ‘normal’ …
