101. Doctor Climax
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 58 min Total Duration: 7 hrs 44 min
Notes: Loved the time period & the acting/characters. ML spineless, but very empathetic so hard to hate him. Many sex scenes tastefully done & w/purpose. ML's wife's lover seemed a bit too old for her. Many messages of tolerance of a diverse social culture makes for a better society.
Ending - ML reveals he is Dr Climax, Tien fired from paper, ML's wife & lover both pregnant. No concrete scenes that show ML as father of either so left open for second season? In the last minutes - wife is in front of Abortion clinic & Linda meets Khomson.

-
104. City Hunter
Japanese Movie - 2024
(Netflix) Total Duration: 1 hrs 42 min
Notes: {English dubbed} ML acting super good. CGI & story on par w/American standards. Fav part was the ending where ML's partner's sister is cleaning ML's apt & chasing him around w/a cosplay hammer calling him a perv. ML has a great body.

-
105. Golden Kamuy
Japanese Movie - 2024
(Netflix) Total Duration: 2 hrs 7 min
Notes: Costumes really good looking. CGI a bit iffy. Cinematography beautiful. Kinda gorey. Liked white wolf. A few too many characters w/no back stories & a moderate amount of puffering. FL's blue eyes entrancing. ML's eyes a bit scary. Sequel coming in drama form.

Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Do Me When You Come Home
(De-FanSubs) Avg Dur: 30 min Total Duration: 5 hrs
Notes: Some spicy scenes, but ML did not appeal to me. Funny the cartoon drawing of him did. Kisses were full of munching that looked like fake acting. Liked the FL character except when her selfishness left ML feeling lonely. Liked the surprise that ML read her manga prior, that is why he helped her to begin with. FL actress did great job w/workaholic emotions. Not sure if dream sequences were FL actress? Icky feeling during FL & older cafe owner dream sequence.
Ending - FL & her ex call it quits for good. FL & ML work together to finish manga.
-
107. Legend of Mermaid: Human Love

-
108. Ao Haru Ride Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 25 min Total Duration: 2 hrs 30 min
Notes: Kinda boring & definitely irritating. ML treated FL like crap & she was still into him. Why? He keeps running to emotionally damaged girl, says mean things to FL & constantly tells FL he doesn't like her. FL dates a rival briefly, but her heart is never in it. UGHHH. If only rival looked more manly/less feminine. Obsessed student likes teacher so kisses him w/no regard to his future.
Ending - FL bumps into ML @ the spot they met in same rain scenario. Cold personality female classmate falls for the corky classmate & immature girl classmate has band guy ask her out.
-

-
110. Okay! Madam
Korean Movie - 2020
(Amazon Prime) Total Duration: 1 hrs 40 min
Notes: Lots of annoying ads. Should have watched on Viki.com. Not a fan of FL at all. Liked all other actors. Grandpa & safety vest scenes not a surprise but leader change & ML creating trip were. A few cute humor moments, but not hilarious.
Ending - Plane lands in Hawaii, bad guys taped to seats. Grandpa tossed out of plane w/ teddy bear bomb.
-
111. Our Love Triangle
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 11 min Total Duration: 1 hrs 50 min
Notes: Nothing to make it stand out. ML2 seemed gay. If this is a love triangle, I'm Santa. FL never into ML2 & his interest in FL luke warm at best. ML a red flag guy. 3 kissing scenes 1 w/ ML2 - pressed lips, 2 w/ ML - lots of munching. Bad girl acting good - bacause I totally hated her. ML's have faces that may become famous?

-
112. My Sibling's Romance
Korean TV Show - 2024, 16 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 2 hrs 15 min Total Duration: 36 hrs
Notes: Series & episodes too long. AI Engineer (trust issues) & Obsessed guy (yelling @ sister) gave me red flags. Pilot ended up being an egotist. Great bunch of females. Liked all of them except producer. 1 guy looked like Gong Yoo a lot. The theme song really grew on me. Loved the episode where siblings sang together.
Brother/Sister: [1] Cellist & AI Engineer [2] Consultant & Accountant [3] Nutionist & Model [4] Sister & Pilot [5] Producer & brother

113. Under the Gun
Korean Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 22 min Total Duration: 2 hrs 12 min
Notes: Liked the characters. FL especially - Independent, strong, empathetic. Chemistry good. 3 kisses that looked realistic. Liked that ML was strong enough to turn FL down when they could have had sex at the hotel...he cherishes her. Dad's 1/2 size to ML a bit odd.
Ending - ML wins poker tournament & ML sits at piano w/FL.
-
114. The Atypical Family
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 70 min Total Duration: 14 hrs
Notes: Mezmorized by ML. A few times could see his acting was just that, acting. Chemistry not great. 5 or so kisses. A couple w/munchies. A lot of repetitious scenes...Ina being born. Grandma story arc not enjoyable. ML's sister turned slim all of a sudden, seemed like missing content. ML's daughter actress one of my favs. FL's sister & ML's sister almost a couple? I loved ML's sister w/ FL's uncle. Timeline of events left me confused. They are both alive so ML already saved her in past once right? Why again? Wasn't a fan of drama's music.
Ending - Accidental arsonist goes to jail. ML died in HS school fire saving FL (FL 18 / ML 23). ML dies again saving FL + his daughter in present day school fire. 5 years pass & ML+ FL's son retrieves his dad from the past. Loved the ending!

115. Hana Nochi Hare: HanaDan Next Season
Japanese Drama - 2018, 11 episodes
Boys Over Flowers Season 2
(Viki) Avg Dur: 56 min Total Duration: 10 hrs 16 min
Notes: ML had that corky charm like other versions. 3 cameos from F4 members. The agressive move on FL as joke still felt uncomfortable/awkward. Didn't like girl in group @ 1st but she shipped ML/FL ever after. Most of drama FL liked/choose ML2. Liked childhood friend 1st due to his protective nature, but then he didn't believe her so ML did, so I changed ships.
Ending - ML wins competition & FL/ML2 break up so FL runs to ML at their park statue to confess love.
-
116. Eye for an Eye 1
Chinese Movie - 2022
(Amazon Prime) Total Duration: 1 hrs 14 min

Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
The Princess Bodyguard's Love
(Viki) Avg Dur: 30 min Total Duration: 5 hrs
Notes: ML & his orphanage buddy creepy. Showing ML interested in FL at age 8 gave me the icky feeling. The revenge plot wasn't unexpected, but the kill FL plot was. Love interest 2 was cousin? Translation issue? 2 odd almost LGBT baiting moments. Love rival story arc weak.
Ending - ML is shot protecting FL. He disappears from hospital after divorce from FL. FL chases him & they reunite.
-
118. Hierarchy
Korean Drama - 2024, 7 episodes
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 65 min Total Duration: 7 hrs 35 min
Notes: Expectations were low due to MDL comments. Korean version of "ELITE." No gay couples this version. Disliked FL actress...very emotionless & ML2. All the support characters totally forgettable / added nothing except FL's dad. Was surprised teacher wasn't a student & she is the killer. Briefly thought FL got pregnant from ML's bro. Music fantastic.
Ending: Sequel? Had to read MDL comments to figure out who was dead on floor in classroom. FL's 1/2 bro. Not going to miss him & could care less who killed him. Everyone got their punishments. FL went to her mom's.
-
119. Frankly Speaking
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 60 min Total Duration: 12 hrs
Notes: No Chemistry between leads. 1 non-memorable kiss. Boss's son w/ML's brother who works at gym had a cute relationship. Humor at beginning good. Go Kyung Pyo's facial expressions endearing. Liked ML's mom actress. Odd...no story/plot to drama. Was disappointed since many actors had potential. ML2 as a love rival was weak...FL never considered him due to their past relationship.
Ending - The kids do a play about a lion & rabbit while cast watches. ML proposes to FL after the show.
-
120. Adult Trainee
Korean Drama - 2021, 7 episodes

Notes: 3 stories. 1-HS boy joins club to stop masturbating. 2- Longtime frenemies fake date to help FL deal w/BF & ex boyfriend dating. 3-Heavy girl becomes friends w/her boy crush. Good kissing in story 2 & surprisingly 3. Ryeoun had his shirt off a lot. Pretty HOT. Jo Yoo Jung looked like Hailee Steinfeld, Ryeoun looked like Park Bo Gum, Kim Min Ki looked like Kim Min Jae, & Jo Sung Joon looked like Lee Jong Suk. Jo Sung a love rival? What was up w/ the hand fetish thing..too weird.
-
121. Prior Convictions

(Dramacool) Avg Dur: 27 min Total Duration: 2 hrs 42 min

Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 70 min Total Duration: 18 hrs 40 min
Notes: Good chemistry/humor 10! Mixture of pecks & long kisses throughout. Kiss right inside front door apt my fav. 2nd couple good chemistry too - upside down kiss. ML had shirt off a lot. HOT ML good actor but needs more training/experience. FL phenomenal! She carried the show. FL shouting the married actors to freeze time funny. "I'M not guilty your collarbone is guilty." A bit heavy on the crying scenes. Music - Some songs totally enhanced scenes, others lackluster. ML2 rival story arc weak more like bromance. Unclear ML's 1st death...doorbell? 2) Lottery win? time didn't freeze? "True Beauty" & "Extraordinary You" vibes.

124. 15+ IQ Krachoot

-
125. Dangerous Liaisons
Chinese Movie - 2012
(Tubi) Total Duration: 1 hrs 53 min
Notes: Wanted a bit more emotions from ML expressing his journey to loving FL. FL has a stunning look, very pretty. ML seducing 16 year old gave me the creeps. No strong sex scenes.
Ending - ML shot by student artist & died. FL became a teacher to kids & manipulative widow devastated by ML's death but no reap what you sow consequences for her.
-
126. Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Teasing Master Takagi-san
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 23 min Total Duration: 3 hrs 4 min
Notes: Not as funny as I thought it would be. ML very endearing. He was funny when apologizing in class to teacher. FL bigger than ML. FL as ML's nemesis didn't transfer off screen but ML's journey to realizing how important she is to him was charming. Found her smiling constantly got on my nerves after awhile. Movie to show them reuniting as adults?
Ending - FL leaves for Paris w/ parents in Jr High School.
-
127. Autumn Tale
Korean Drama - 2000, 16 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 54 min Total Duration: 14 hrs 24 min
Notes: As a tearjerker it's a 10, but as an overall drama 5.5. Lots of overacting, melodrama & crying (actors & me). ML good looking but found him to be too much of a douchebag. ML2 forces himself on FL & she sluffs it off? The switched girl character was a total bitch, & ML's fiancée a total wench, disliked them immensely. FL's 1st mom annoyed me with her insaneness. Loved the ML & FL actors. Also loved the way FL young actress & adult talked the same way. 1 gentle quick kiss & 1 forehead kiss. The way ML liked FL when young was a bit odd. Incest theme not developed but line of sibling love vs partner love very blurry. Fav cinematography scene sky & water w/ thin land strip separating them. Piano music galore.
Ending - FL dies & funeral held. ML hit by truck, he goes flying & we see two shadowy figures in a light at the end of a tunnel playing w/each other. ML probably dies but as to fate or planned suicide is debatable. Her passing away seemed the appropriate ending w/how sick she was portrayed as.
-
128. The Warp Effect
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
(YouTube_GMMTV Official) Avg Dur: 50 min Total Duration: 10 hrs
Notes: ML so adorable. His shirt off scenes made me swoon. Multiple couples w/their own story arcs. All of them likable. Definitely on the naughty scale, but tastefully & maturely done. Maybe because actors in their late 20's? Polaroid camera takes pics that show HS kids 10 ys later was interesting concept. ML solving his erectile dysfunction by solving each person's relationship issue in the future is a bit weird. Saw plots of coach as dad & FL's unexpected pregnancy a mile away. A couple okay kisses with leads.
Ending - ML returns to past & corrects his mistakes. All actors standing in line at a red carpet event for FL. Everyone in healthy happy relationships/life choices.
-
129. One Dollar Lawyer
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
(DramaCool) Avg Dur: 1 hr 10 min Total Duration: 14 hrs
Notes: ML's acting phenomenal, writing of story superb. Loved that ML had only 1 true love & 2nd lady to come into his life wasn't a love interest. Did not like FL at first but she won me over. ML's ex I liked immediately. Cute humor was enjoyable, not forced or overdone. ML picking FL up when drunk & him putting 1000 won in jar crying my fav scenes of acting. A couple ofpeacocking scenes too many. Wasn't a fan of ML's laundry buddy asst. Not sure if it was the character or actor? Mystery of who killed ML's dad & fiancée seemed realistic...drawn out like in real life. Only music I liked was "Ah AH a AH." Originally 16 episodes. I liked the 12.
Ending - ML & prosecution office work together to put abetting murdering CEO in prison. Still unclear about what side snitch was on. (Both?)
-

Japanese Drama - 2013, 8 episodes
Yamada & the 7 Witches
(DramaCool) Avg Dur: 35 min Total Duration: 4 hrs 40 min
Notes: In the 90's ML would have been called a Spaz at our school. There are a few naughty bits commentary/cursing. Kissing all over. ML w/ 7 girls, a few guys & an old woman. maybe about 10 w/FL. There was quantity not quality. Understated humor...like the accidental wish for wearing panties.
Ending - All witches gave their powers to ML & he got rid of them by kissing the witch killer. Someone takes witch books out of safe....a small crack for a sequel season.
-
131. Asako I & II
Japanese Movie - 2018
(Amazon Prime) Total Duration: 1 hrs 59 min
Notes: Thought movie more interesting due to mains having 3 yr affair. First kiss heat 2nd kiss no heat. I just don't get it...they seem like an odd pair. Loved the cat. Fav scene all of them lounging on floor. Hated the 180 degree emotions scenes. FL...throw all my stuff away I am not coming back.... seconds later I love you stable guy. What was with subtitles... "Guys don't like girls when they know another dick has been in her."
Ending - FL fights to reclaim relationship w/stable guy.
-
132. Alienoid: Return to the Future
Korean Movie - 2024
(DramaCool) Total Duration: 2 hrs 2 min
Notes: Rewatched Alienoid 1 on Tubi first. Lots of content from movie 1 with tiny tidbits of new info. Thought ML had villian leader in him, but surprise it was FL. FL very good w/ portraying good girl then bad girl. Enjoyed dosan couple. Loved ML's acting & his dancing, Cinematography amazing.
Ending - Thunder takes prisoners to space to explode. Dosan couple & ML return to historical time. ML then shortly after goes thru portal to present day. Detination & ML + FL reunion not shown so small crack left open for movie 3...which there is no intentions to make.

Japanese Drama - 2024, 9 episodes
Ripe for the Picking
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 30 min Total Duration: 4 hrs 30 min
Notes: ML a pop singer from band Exhile. Very good acting, great kissing & very nice upper body (1 shirt off scene). Felt the heat. Communication during bed scene a bit frustrating. Too many I am sorries just like so many JP dramas/movies. Disliked angry co-worker. Married & ugly co-worker not impressionable.

137. Just Spoil You
Chinese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
(YouTube) Avg Dur: 20 min Total Duration: 3 hrs 20 min
Notes: FL selfish but understand her thought process. What's up w/ ML trying to strangle & berate FL...while in wheelchair too? That was a bit unnerving/odd + he makes her undress in public WTH. Wanted to see a wrap up scene w/obsessed girl in jail. Dialogue kept dropping out. Child actor very endearing, loved his story arc & lines.
Ending - ML leaves her & then catches her on plane. Proposes to her on set of drama wrap up.
-
138. Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru
Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Cursed in Love
(DramaCool) Avg Dur: 60 min Total Duration: 8 hrs
Notes: Murder mystery that I thought would be boring but was surprised. A few twists. FL's benefactor is ML's 1/2 brother (same dad), the matron had an affair due to her husband stepping out w/HS sweetheart (FL's mom) that grandpa split up, 1/2 bro is murderer, & matron dies giving her corneas to son. 3 kisses, 2 bed scenes - 1 a bit longer/ more passionate than 2nd. The heat wasn't on between these actors...ML seemed to try harder than FL. Bothersome..the whole show FL says she can't be w/ML...but always is. The selective amnesia made think "are you serious" writers. Love rival (too strong of a term) asks FL to marry him, but story arc never developed. ML looked like Chae Eun Wo & FL's benefactor looked like Rain.
Ending - FL returns to family bakery as it's inheritor & she asks ML to return. FL's benefactor in jail/takes responsibility for FL's father's death. Matron & grandpa dead.
-
139. Love at First Taste
Chinese Drama - 2022, 26 episodes
(YouTube_Tencent Video) Avg Dur: 3 min Total Duration: 1 hrs 18 min
Notes: Storyline too choppy, made it hard to follow, but still very good. Chemistry good. Bedd scene 2 min in. Pet peeve when girl behaves like she is saving her virginity after they have already done it. About 6 kisses & ML w/ his shirt off a few times. Felt like ML2 was in love w/ ML, not just a BF. Cinematography okay. Teleporting looked like Harry Potter style.
Ending - FL collapses from cancer. A few minutes later...FL then has bracelet w/2 gold balls (200 yrs of life to counteract cancer) & ML has 1 silver ball. His BF most likely donated 100 yrs of life to ML
-
140. Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang
Korean Drama - 2005, 17 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 70 min Total Duration: 19 hrs 50 min
Notes: ML2 looks like Lee Ji Hoon. Rooted for him until he went bat crazy. ML never seemed to appreciate FL. Even at end FL says she wants to go abroad to study. ML says marriage & 3 kids then she can go.... WTH. Bickering chemistry. 2 kisses, both wide mouth pressed lips. Music same as Fated to Love You (Taiwanese). Loved all the music. FL's $ stealing mom irritating & disappeared from drama oddly.
Ending - ML & FL at their wedding. ML2 works w/ML to take down thug financial backers to ML2's movie. ML2 comes to his senses.
Parody - Pretty woman trying on clothes + Romeo & Juliet. Movie store had references to Everybody has a Little Secret, Untold Scandal & Gone with the Wind.
-
141. The Midnight Studio
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 60 min Total Duration: 16 hrs
Notes: Really liked all the characters & stories were interesting. Cried quite a bit. ML had a great expressive face & eyes. His expression after SHE KISSES HIM priceless & his crying after killing his ghost friend heartwrenchingly good. FL very pretty. Annoyed by her confidence then a 180 degree turn to totally helpless. Subtle chemistry w/ positive relationship (no shenanigans). 9 kisses starting from pressed lips (kinda awkward) to a few munchies. None had heat but still okay/good. Cinematography good (liked safety zone), but ghosts more like zombies & make-up sometimes appeared hokie. Music okay. Surprises: [1] police ghost's wife cheated/lonely [2] pastor wanted girl group videos deleted...not porn [3] Twins [4] Policeman as killer & son of politician. [5] A stalker. FL as ML's young friend n/a surprise. Why was evil spirit after camera? Liked white fluffy dog. Favorite thing...no overacting by all actors...all even temperaments.
Ending - ML returns camera to Netherworld & twin boy leads him out (my fav surprise). 1 yr passes in world. FL's BF & office ghost dating (totally unrealistic). If she passed from cancer & they ended up together that would be more believable.
Parodies - Crash landing on you (candle scene) & Beauty Inside (date w/several people & ghost inside). Hotel Del Luna & May I Help You vibes.
-
142. Princess Jellyfish
Japanese Movie - 2014
(AsianCrush) Total Duration: 2 hrs 6 min
Notes: Loved the FL...her smile adorable. ML's cross-dressing was fun. ML interested in FL, but at times it seemed like he was letting her be w/his brother...like he was a gay BF. The love interst story arc not carried to end of movie. ML in his black boxer briefs only a couple of times.
Ending - FL & friends successful w/clothing line. Neither boy gets the girl, but it looks like FL sees ML in a more romantic light & not the older brother?
-
143. Idol Recipe
Korean Movie - 2022
(DramaCool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 42 min
Notes: Same old story. Corrupt idol agency, troubled Mgr, & falling apart band. troubled Mgr needing to recount his drunken day/night thru a journey to figure out what happened to all that $ was also super cliche, but kinda liked. Music & dancing didn't grip me.
Ending - All Mgr's $ that it looked like got wasted actually paid off. Group won contest.
-
144. My Name is Love
Thai Movie - 2012
(DramaCool) Total Duration: 2 hrs 9 min

146. xxxHolic
Japanese Drama - 2013, 8 episodes
(Dramacool) Avg Dur: 26 min Total Duration: 3 hrs 28 min
Notes: Preferred the storyline better especially since there was time to develop characters & their relationships to each other. Liked the acting of dimensional witch but her looks weren't witchy enough for me. The witch eroding away to butterflies was my fav cgi scene. All other cgi a bit amateurish. Music was good.
Ending - different from movie. ML doesn't take over shop. All 3 go to school together happy.
-
147. August Never Ends
Chinese Movie - 2021
(Viki) Total Duration: 1 hrs 36 min

Ending - Cheery FL2 commits suicide, to give FL her freedom to love romantically? FL pregnant & diagnosed w/heart disease. FL dies in childbirth I think. ML & daughter playing outside. What was silence on phone call when FL tells ML about her life?

Notes: Actually, wished this was no romance & that ML character was a bit more corky or had more personality plus. Not sure if Song Joong Ki or writers were issue. The fight scenes w/ ML & many attackers didn't make ML look bad ass. 1 shirt off scene that did make him look hot! Disliked the actress & character of older female lawyer...why was she so bossy? & The snack shop lady who was way too touchy w/ML for no reason. 2 pretty good kisses w/leads. The one at end had a bit of munching. Their chemistry.... as friends... was enjoyable. Ok Taec Yeon & Kwak Dong Yeon acting was phenomenal.
Ending - ML2 shoots brother & brother dies. ML2 hires thugs to stab lawyer & he dies. Vincenzo kills ML2 & his corrupt lawyer. The gold was saved at FL's house & USB of info given to detective. Vincenzo escaped to an island but briefly returns to kiss FL after a year of post cards.

Japanese Movie - 2014
(Asian Crush) Total Duration: 1 hrs 3 min

-
151. One in a Hundred Thousand
Japanese Movie - 2020
(Viki) Total Duration: 1 hrs 52 min
Notes: Wasn't feeling the main lead's chemistry which made emotions seem a bit over done. Like ML screaming in the gym. 2 kisses - ML 1 step above pressed lips on a deadpan FL. Did get a bit teary eyed at end. ML plans to stay w/ FL & is a positive influence for her. Loved that. Lots of dead space dialog like the Japanese do.
Ending - FL has a surprise graduation ceremony held by classmates.
-
152. Q10
Japanese Drama - 2010, 9 episodes
(DramaCool) Avg Dur: 54 min Total Duration: 8 hrs 6 min
Notes: FL's robot voice was irritating to me. Robot behavior was robot like so much so I wondered how classmates didn't see it. Too serious of topics with no comic relief and no chemistry w/leads. Only episode 6 was not viewable (kept buffering/freezing). Music was pretty good.
Ending - Robot turned out to be copy of ML's wife in the future, that he ordered so robot could time travel to past for wife to see husband as teen. ML meets teen that is going to be his wife in the future at the park. Robot reset/turned off returned to 2080 w/agent.
-
153. xxxHOLiC
Japanese Movie - 2022
(Dramacool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 50 min
Notes: Concept interesting, but really hard for me to follow the story at beginning. Opening scene was like Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them with the "obscurest" chasing ML. Cinematography/CGI was pleasing to the eye. One blue eye, blue arrows, & wisteria grotto.
Ending - ML new owner of wish shop.
-
154. Boku no Itoshii Youkai Girlfriend
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
My Undead Girlfriend
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 35 min Total Duration: 4 hrs 40 min
Notes: FL's fighting scenes good. A couple sexy scenes w/ FL tackling ML & ML w/his shirt off. Super cute. Felt like a westernized story from the get-go. Interestingly MDL comments say writers are American. CGI was pretty good & the right amount (not too little not too much). Good American music. Loved the firefly fest by waterfall. Are Yukai bad people? Clans bad people? What is this power?
Ending - Cliffhangers = ML remembers he is 5th clan rep. FL banished back to the nothing/did not free her people. ML's Grandma's involvement? ML's mom's secret she was going to tell ML's dad? Libiran's story now that she knows Yukai did not kill her parents?
-
155. Eye Love You
Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
(Netflix) Avg Dur: 57 min Total Duration: 9 hrs 30 min
Notes: Viki has ML's thoughts translated...Netflix doesn't. Frustrating for me to miss this crucial piece of story arc. Struggled to watch this. ML looked like so many different actors which kept distracting me. FL pretty, acting questionable & her long fingers beautiful. Storyline a mess. Chemistry meh. Leads - 5 or so pressed lip kisses....last one a series of 3 but last one had the beginnings of munchies. 1 almost Sexy scene w/ML shirt off near beginning. 2nd couple had 2 pressed lip kisses. Liked this couple's quirky chemistry. ML's actions seemed a bit stalker/creepy to me...even with a warm cute smile. ML a lot taller than FL. FL character 30 & ML character 26...not cringy at all.
Ending - FL breaks up w/ ML to avoid warning of death to ML. They reunite to remove power, but ML stops it. FL's work partner finds that death of college guy was heart disease & tells book writer.
-
156. Lovely Complex
Japanese Movie - 2006

157. I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK
Korean Movie - 2006
(Dramacool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 45 min
Notes: Very Indie type movie. The acting was amazing & story unique. I appreciate the oddity of it, but still did not like the movie. Kinda like Sucker punch where the viewer sees the FL's non-reality. The romance was super heartwarming from Rain's performance.
Ending - After seeking lighting in a thunderstorm all night they get busy on a blanket.
-
158. Bangkok Traffic Love Story
Thai Movie - 2009
(Viki) Total Duration: 2 hrs 5 min
Notes: The story wasn't fun. He knew he was leaving & didn't tell her upfront??? Father talking about FL's breasts @ dinner table w/ guests totally inappropriate. FL2 losing her phone then pulling it out of bag w/ 100 tassels too funny.
Ending - ML studies abroad & FL gives up on him. 2 years later they bump into each other on train & rekindle their relationship.
-
159. Wildest Days
Thai Movie - 1998
(AsianCrush) Total Duration: 1 hrs 56 min
Notes: The acting was soo bad & the weird facial expressions totally threw me off. Teacher touching student creeped me out even if it is not meant to be. Cried a lot at ending. Only 7 people have watched this movie including me. 9.5 rating is skewed.
Ending - kids compose a song for teacher who was got shot/died trying to break up a fight.
-
160. Failing in Love
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 48 min Total Duration: 5 hrs 50 min
Notes: FL's friend only character that added nothing. Appreciated the twist. We see the ML as the lonely one, but the 2 other mains are lonely too. 1 kiss - pressed lips w/ the feelz. Liked both MLs for her, but ML2 a skoosh better.
Ending - No one ended up together. Immature boy @ college, eating instant rice & calls ML2 saying he has no friends. Scene Proves he can be alone or that being friends is a two way street, not just one like FL's perspective was until immature boy brought to light. Sequel maybe?
-
161. I'm Tee, Me Too
Thai Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
(Dramacool) Avg Dur: 35 min Total Duration: 4 hrs 40 min

Ending - house owner pranks guys saying they have to move out, but 1/2 bro gives them a heads up so they prank him back. Father pays off house debt.
-
162. Neechan no Koibito
Japanese Drama - 2020, 9 episodes
(Dramacool) Avg Dur: 46 min Total Duration: 6 hrs 54 min
Notes: Slow start & slow romance. FL smart, a leader, well adjusted, empathetic, strong, etc. Not a usual. Dialogue flowed. No dead space. ML's flashback story a total surprise. Whole drama like a G rating then BAM a small, rated R scene (rape & assault). ML's acting w/ his facial expressions was fantastic. Leads 2 face plant kisses @ end & 2nd couple behind a scarf.
Ending - Warehouse manager is new president & asks co-worker to marry him. Leads on beach & ML says to FL he is the kinda guy she should marry.
-
163. Quill
Japanese Movie - 2004

Ending - dog dies @ around 12 years old being held by his 1 yr old owners.
-
164. Ugly Beauty
Chinese Movie - 2019
(YouTube) Total Duration: 1 hrs 12 min
Notes: Concept good - ugly girl gets pretty 6 am - 6 pm for 30 days. Liked the actors. Didn't like the waste of a story arc for the guy she bumps into & that FL's nemesis never gets what she is due.
Ending - FL transfers schools & ML tracks her down / transfers to her school too.
-
165. Virgin Snow
Japanese Movie - 2007
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 41 min

166. Kingdom 3: Flame of Destiny
Japanese Movie - 2023
(Netflix) Total Duration: 2 hrs 14 min

-
168. Kingdom
Japanese Movie - 2019
(Netflix) Total Duration: 2 hrs 14 min
Notes: Assembling the team & establishing the goal to unify 7 states of China. ML reminds me of Song Joong Ki in Arthdal Chronicles. Slight gore and slight fantasy (ogre). Sword fighting from ML exceptional, but can see lulls in some side characters, especially in the large group fighting. Cinematography amazing. Loved pagoda by waterfall & mountain peoples home in cliff.
Ending - Benevolent ex king joins w/mountain warriors & regains his throne.
-
169. Josee, the Tiger and the Fish
Japanese Movie - 2003
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 56 min
Notes: Liked Korean version better as it seemed classier. This version many female nude scenes, tame sex scenes & mature content. Reality was ML left FL & FL had already prepared herself for this from the start so no heartbreak shown on her side. ML loves her, but can't find the courage to face all the difficulties (family, aging, ridicule, protection, etc.). ML a playboy that is the catalyst for FL's growth. In Korean version FL is the star & her sanity is the question.
Ending - ML back together w/his ex "normal" girlfriend, but cries at random. FL independent & looking healthy.
-
170. Jenny & Juno
Korean Movie - 2005
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 42 min
Notes: Loved the Rainbows & Roses version of teen love/pregnancy....although totally unrealistic. Fav scene FL trying to drown in water bowl & dog comes in. FL shown in underwear a few more times than necessary. ML's devotion to FL totally swoonworthy. Scene of actual abortion on microscopic level definitely a pro-life plug. Music noticeably good.
Ending - leads marry @ school. Baby is born. Grandparents doating over boy. All classmates singing holding hands as set design pulls away.
-
171. From Me to You
Japanese Movie - 2010
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 2 hrs 8 min
Notes: Liked the actors in this version better. FL character was still excruciating to watch due to how naive she is. Story arcs too overdramatic/melodratic. Liked that the popular guy noticed all the little good things FL did.
Ending - FL runs to Ml to tell him how she feels.
-

173. Knight Flower
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 70 min Total Duration: 14 hrs
Notes: ML soooo hot! 1 scene w/his shirt off. No kissing thank god! Mains - Older FL w/ younger ML bothered me (actors = 12 year difference). 2nd couple - Older ML w/ younger FL also bothered me (actors = 17 year difference). Hearts floating around the leads scene was cute. FL's martial artistry did seem a bit weak sometimes.
Ending - FL's marriage voided. FL leaves for 1 yr & returns. ML embraces her as she continues her ninja robin hood persona.
-
174. One Week Friends
Chinese Movie - 2022
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 46 min
Notes: Totally different vibe than Japanese version. Preferred Japanese version a bit more due to ML. Death of FL's ex BF a bit sad. We were led to believe FL had amnesia but twist was ML did. FL2 & ML2 love interests w/very small story arc. ML & FL2 bickering kinda cute.
Ending - ML gets his memory back, ex BF & ML were always talking about FL, so he was into FL.
-

-
177. Don't Cry, Mommy
Korean Movie - 2012
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 32 min
Notes: Movie quality bad so couldn't see the more mature content which I was kinda glad about. The perspective was from the mother. Moms over acting did cheapen the film a bit, but her willingness to kill the bad guys felt rewarding. Friend found on the video sent chills down my spine & the boys' parents wanted me to reach into the screen & choke them myself. The young FL actress was really good.
Ending - Mom kills 2 of the boy rapists & 3rd maybe. Cop kills the mother.
-
178. Till We Meet Again
Taiwanese Movie - 2021
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 2 hrs 18 min
Notes: Movie of many tags - Horror, fantasy, romance, reincarnation, animal role, historical, adult video etc. Story a bit hard to follow. Message of movie we can have more than 1 soulmate & each reincarnation could show this? A soulmate pairing is stronger than a red string that is why no string would stay on FL. Loved the twist FL could see & hear ML. Needs Sequel.
Ending - ML gives his red string to Pinky & she ties it to vet & ML ties other end to girlfriend to save her. Old Elevator couple ML & Mi I think. Kids @ vets office Pinky & ML reincarnated. I preferred Mi & ML to be together all reincarnations. Thought Pinky a bit selfish to not respect ML's love for his girlfriend.
-
179. Wedding Impossible
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
(Viki) Avg Dur: 70 min Total Duration: 14 hrs
Notes: ML showed some chemistry, but FL did not. FL had only one face, crabby face. FL & ML2 were dragging this drama down. Needed humor and the emotions seemed odd between brothers & love leads. Enjoyed ML's asst w/ FL's friend.
Ending - Leads broke up for 1 year & then get back together.
-

(Viki) Avg Dur: 35 min Total Duration: 7 hrs
Notes: ML great smile. Chemistry pretty good. Alot of kissing. Most pecks on cheek & 1 step above the pressed lips kiss. Enjoyed twist where we learned leads had prior history. I was okay if FL ended up w/ either ML as long as ML2 cleaned up his bad boy nature for her. The cat cartoon a bit ugly/scary looking. Loved the lotus flower candles in water scene. Cute behind the scenes clips after each episode. Music got old.
Ending - FL returns home to give birth to twins, ML cured of poison. ML's ex fiancée & younger sister dead. FL returns to ML after 10 years.

-
191. As Long as We Both Shall Live
Japanese Movie - 2023
(Dramaccool) Total Duration: 1 hrs 54 min
Notes: Too much packed into 1 movie/hard to follow. [Story arcs - Cinderella, zombies, parasite, martial arts, sci-fi, historical power struggle) MDL comments helpful. Too much apologizing (like most Japanese movie/drama). Why girl's maternal family not help FL? Was Emperor bad? If yeas then the family that poisoned him bad? Why did scar disappear from guys wrist? Cinematography/CGI was amazing! Loved the tap-dancing intro. Wished was okay but wanted it to be at the quality of the CGI.
Ending - Hint to sequel: Poisoning guy reports back to his leader & leader mentions he is going to pick FL this time.
