I'd never get tired of rewatching these movies :(

One of my hidden comfort movies!

It's gonna be difficult to find a movie about a character having a terminal illness as impacting and touching as this one. While reading the reviews I was suprised as most people commented it wasn't a new plot. I may kinda agree in someway, but I still believe that what this movie portrayed was unique in its own way and the interactions between the main characters ended up making this movie very special to me.

Main cast: Sato Takeru, Miyazaki Aoi

Release Date: May 14, 2016

I decided to buy the book as soon as I finished and one of my greatest decisions, I loved it as much as the movie or even more.

One of my all time favourite movies along with To Each His Own and Shoot My Heart. It was also one of my first japanese movies I watched in early 2017.

I would always recommend this movie if you are interested in a tragic story that shows you in a beautiful way how even the little things must be valued, as each one of those have an story to tell about you.

Main cast: Lee Min Ki, Yeo Jin Goo

What an experience.

One of the films that portrays an incredible friendship who is built in one of the most steriotyped places: a psychiatric hospital. This movie knew how to show their growth and how they faced every issue in a memorable way. Props to Jingoo and Minki who created such beautiful yet unique chemistry between the main characters

This movie's pace is truly great as it never feels like they are rushing yet you'll never think any scene is boring. As my favourite movie endings are films that leave you satisfied though they don't necessarily tell you everything that happens to the main in the end, this one is definitely one of these. 

If you're thinking about watching this, stop and simply watch it. It's one of those movies I would always recommend to everyone.

Well, stop with the sad stories, let's go into some action movies. 

The ruroken movies have it all. I only added one here but I absolutely recommend anyone who likes this kind of action + samurai movies to check this out. 

Sato Takeru won me here. As much as I loved his acting in If Cats Disappeared from the world,  this is were I could see how much of a talented actor he is. No one could have portrayed Kenshin as amazingly as him and no one will. Such a memorable movie which I would not hesitate to rewatch everytime I have a chance.

Main cast: Kudo Asuka, Fukushi Sota

I wish this had lasted forever.

I remember how as soon as this started I couldn't stop taking screenshots of most of the main characters dialogue. I watched this randomly, while not knowing how much I needed to experience such well done movie. 

Main cast: Yamazaki Kento, Tsuchiya Tao

Release Date: Dec 12, 2015

Duration: 2 hr. 19 min.

My very first japanese movie! 

I would always be thankful to this one as the fact that I enjoyed this a lot dragged me into more amazing movies. Honestly, I cannot leave this one behind when I feel like rewatching something. 

As a fan of the anime and the manga, I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, it became one of my favourite movies ever as soon as I finished. It was truly a beautiful adaptation, Kento and Tao portrayed their characters so well that I can't imagine another people being Kakeru and Naho.

Main cast: Suda Masaki

Release Date: Apr 29, 2017

Duration: 1 hr. 58 min.

If you can't find anything to watch, this movie deserves your time. 

While the premise might look ridiculous and spoiler (/j) everything from the beginning till the end probably is, you must not take anyone seriously on this and probably watch it without the hopes of having something to analyse. 

Every character is so eccentric and has such a unique personality which is the main point of this, as it'll be the main reason why there will be such entertaining interactions between them. This makes the entire movie a work you can't probably pause till suddenly you realise it has finished and now you must return to your boring and monotonous life.

Main cast: Suda Masaki, Tsuchiya Tao

Release Date: Apr 27, 2018

While some fans of this anime might feel they rushed everything, I believe it will be a great romance movie to recommend to someone who wants an unique yet easy and anxiety-free romance.

I couldn't stop thinking how Suda was incredible as Haru. While I rarely watch romance dramas from him, he surprised me here and Tao did such a great job portraying a Shizuku! 

While I loved everything in this movie, nothing could have ever prepared me to that ending lmao (yeah tao I'm looking at you)

Main cast: Han Hyojoo

Release Date: Aug 20, 2015

Duration: 2 hr. 7 min.

Only Han Hyojoo can create such chemistry with +15 people in a +2h movie. 

One of my first korean movies! I can't tell how much I loved everything here. Though its pace might feel slow for some people (and this is what I felt at first), as soon as different characters began to appear, you'll get more into it. It's a pretty calm experience that I would recommend you to watch on a day you're looking for some complicated romance with the perfect amount of delicate scenes and no unnecessary dramatic ones.

Main cast: Mackenyu, Kitamura Takumi

Release Date: Jan 24, 2020

This was a memorable one. Those who are into the music genre, this one's definitely for you!

While we've seen the body possession theme in some dramas and movies, the fact that they united it with music is what made it a extraordinary one. You gotta love the Introvert ML x Cheerful ML interactions but now they share one body. 

The OST is amazing and it totally fits with the aesthetics and pace of the movie. I'll never get tired of watching this.
