The acting skill was brilliant. I'm familiar with some of the casts and I was struck of how they grow as an artist. Their emotions flow like a calm water in the river. Fantastic. I tried to hide my tears but I was defeated. I ended up crying in the end.
Truly indeed that no one knows how far you can go but only yourself.
Credits to that casts for the magnificent acting skills and to all the persons behind it.

In this mobie seems that the characters are new to the industry. The story does not need any kind of heavy drama so for me the acting skills is quite good.
MUSIC:
I was not able to observed the music in the movie maybe because there is no scene which requires a dramatic kind of background music.
PLOT/STORYLINE:
This area made me love the movie. I like how the story goes though I admit that it was not the first I heard such plot or story. The boy has a long time cruch to the man who saced him a long time ago. Maybe he was aware of the man's whereabouts or maybe the man was the reason why he went on that university. I just want to see more scenes with them together. I love the lesson that this movie wanted to show also, that when you feel like you don't have any reasons to live don't lose hope because somewhere out there somebody needs your presence.

CHARACTERS(RATING: 9/10)
I think you would agree with me if I would say that if you know the actor or the actress you would still like him or her even though he or she is not the main character. Am I right? Because in this series I like the guy who played as Wan Shicun than the male main lead. Well the characters were all fun to watch given the fact that this series was a comedy fantasy kind of series.
CINEMATOGRAPHY/EDITING:
(RATING: 9/10)
For me if the series or movie is a comedy, a perfect editing nor cinematography is not necessary. Because sometimes mistakes and errors makes the film more hilarious and interesting. I've noticed many lapses which made me laugh very much and I love it.
STORYLINE/PLOT/TWIST:
(RATING: 9/10)
It is seldom for us to see a comedy fantasy kind film or series and I am happy that I was able to discover this series. I am a fan of a fantasy kind of films and nowadays I was fascinated by some sitcoms that I've watched. And I start loving it. So in whole for me this series was a brilliant idea. I love the story especially the twist. I really like Wan Shicun's story here though **** spoiler **** (just watch it). I also love the fight scene, and the ending. Hehehe
LESSONS:
1. Don't let the norms influence your every decision. Learn to follow your heart.
2. Revengeful ideas are never good. ???? (I love stories which has revenge theme though ????)
3. Heroes don't become heroes just because they have super powers. They became heroes because they were able to protect their selves and others as well.
OVERALL
Let me give a 9/10 rating for this series. You might not found this series interesting but for a person who loves fantasy and is always happy, this series is but a perfect dish for your hungry imagination. For me I love this series it might look like corny for you though especially some jokes that they are trying to crack. Well different person has different views and opinion. I recommend this series though. A nice series to kill some time and boredom. ????

I can really feel the calmness in my mind while watching it. By the way, there was an answer that the woman main character wants to remember because when she was young upon hearing the answer to her question she cried so much which bothered her all her life. The answer was revealed at the end obviously. I don't know if upon knowing the answer it would affect you like what it did to me but honestly it made me cry not that much though. It made me cry cause the answer was so meaningful.
Regarding the acting skills, well it seems that the characters gave justice to their respective roles. They did what they are supposed to do and I am quite satisfied with it.
Some might see the movie as boring because there are only limited characters. Just see it for yourself. My rating for this movie is 7.5/10. If asked if I am going to recommend it, my answer is yes definitely. You must know the answer to the quest that the main character yearns to remember because it will give you realizations.
By the ways it gives emphasis on how you should live your high school life. It encourages every HS students to live a red-coloured HS life and not the gray-coloured one.
That's it for now.

STORY/PLOT:
Thailand Entertainment Industry spicifically the filming Industry as what I have observed was so fond of producing series with this kind of genre. A series which contains not just one love s tory but of multiple stories, like the ever popular Hormones, Room Alone, Together With Me, Bad Romance and many more. And one thing that I've observed as well is that everytime a series like this was produced there's always a BL part or story which I loved the most. As what I have said, I'll be honest in this review of mine. Actually I haven't finished watching all 14 episodes. The 14th episode don't have english subtitles yeta and I'm still waiting for it. And I'm still on Episode 9. But....I've already finished the BL part. I watched those part where Kao and Pete are present because I'm an honest BL supporter, Well I am not new to thiis kind of genre bacause as what I have said there were similar series produced before this. What I like about this series is the fact that all female leads where sisters and that there names starts with SAN... I found it interesting. I like the story as well aside from the BL part, the stories that I liked were the stories of R and Sanwan because I know them a long time ago since Hormones. :-)
ACTING/CAST:
I don't have any issues regardingh their acting skills in this series given the fact that most of them already appeared in so many series and films that I became so used of them regarding of what role they played. The chemistry between and Kao and Pete is totally insane though. I'll ship for them.
MUSIC:
I look forward on the stories in this series so I did not gave a damn attention to the music. Sorry for that.
REWATCH VALUE:
I keep on watching it from time to time especially the Pete and Kao scenes.
OVERALL:
Actually before I decided to watch this series I keep on debating if I should watch it first or Kiss: The Series first before this. But since the prequel was Kiss Me Again and the sequel story was Kiss:The Series I end up watching it though it was the latest series. I will be watching Kiss:The Series after I finished watching this sreies.

This is not a typical love story where it is the boy who is making the first move. In this series it was the girl who ideally doing all the impressive acts for the boy to like her. The setting is in a typical high school campus with the senior high educational system.The girl is currently a senior high student and the boy is in a lower grade level so basically the girl is older than the boy. The girl did everything that she can do with the help of her two best friends, still the boy did not fall in love with her. Actually it was the boy who told her to stop hitting on him but the girl was so persistent, until one incident made the girl a decision to give up.
The girl graduated from middle school and tried to apply in the University far away from her hometown. During those times when the girl was not around the boy realized that he really miss the girl so much to the point that the faces of all the persons he met on his eyes were the girl's face. He tried to communicate with the girl but he was afraid of doing so.
One day on his way home while riding on a bus he bumped into somebody who happened to be the girl that he's been looking for. The girl told her that she did not made it to the University where she planned to apply so instead she enrolled in the nearest University in their place. The ending was, the boy asked the girl if they can still see each other and the girl said yes.
Time for Season 2! Yes there is a Season 2 where it was the boy's turn to impress the girl.
My rating is 6.5/10. Nice storyline but I was not so into it. Acting skills, mediocre I think but it's understandable because they were young artist. Still it was a good series, I guess it's still early to conclude for a Season 2 is still waiting for me to be watch.

Characters:
Honestly I both love the main characters especially Prikkang (Esther). Sorry I am not fond of using the character's real name because I totally suck with names. I call her Prikkang because of the series U Prince : The Handsome Cowboy where she played as the main female character. In this series her acting was quite remarkable, I like it. The main male character also did well I just don't like the way he laugh. Sorry. :-)
Story/Plot:
As what I have said, I haven't watched the series Fated To Love You do I cannot say if the plot were the same. But obviously I love how the story went and how it ended. I don't usually like watching series or movies which does not give me a good impression after reading the synopsis or watching the trailer. So since I've decided to watched the series, meaning the plot was impressive.
Music/Cinematography:
This is not the first Thai Series that I've watched so I am quite familiar of some traditions, culture, foods and cuisine. This series showed some aspects which were purely Thai. I am not a fan of Thai music but I do appreciate them though.
Over-all this series was wonderfully done. Since this was a romantic-comedy kind of series any errors or mistakes were very much forgivable. This was my honest review so if you would ask me is I would recommend it for you to watch my answer is yes. I highly recommend it for you to watch. This series is worth watching for. :-)

CREPPY in a SPECTACULAR WAY
I am not an avid fan of gore films and series but I already prepared myself of the possible things that I may see in the movie given the title since I already have an idea of what the title means. I will give my review in relation to the ratings that I have given above.STORY:
The story is quite interesting. An idea of an exclusive conservatory and somehow juvenile students and the thing they do. What's lacking on that part was the WHY of every character. Why they were sent or why they went there? Answering that question will help us understand the personality of the characters but in some way not answering that question added to the suspense value of the story since we don't know the backgrounds of each character and the things that they can. Another thing to be applauded with the story is the illusion it portrays. Since they are an acting club we can't deduct nor tell at first glance if what partakes in the story are all an act or reality.
ACTING/CAST:
To begin with, hahaha seems like I have a thing with Komiya, the one who played as Itsuki. After watching his series entitled ETERNAL YESTERDAY, I was so stars truck with him. From his looks to his acting skills but I'll try to be objective in this review. Acting with such topic or scenes is difficult. You should convinced the audience that you are terrified or afraid for them to believe you and that cast did a great job in that part. I so love the several touch of BL being a BL lover those scenes are like a breath of fresh air hehehe.
MUSIC:
Without a doubt the music has added to the suspense or thrill of the movie. That part should be understandable and agreeable.
REWATCH VALUE:
Will watch part of it especially the BL scenes but not the gore ones. I am not that person who easily lost his/her appetite while watching gore films, in fact I can eat while watching those gut slicing with exposures of intestines. I don't really mind but it's not my thing.
OVERALL:
As BL, a bit but not with the standards. I gave it a 10 because of the story quality, acting and cinematography. If you are someone who is not into gore films. You won't really like. For some who can tolerate but don't really love gore scenes you may come to appreciate it like me and for some who are into gore file this might be for you. In short, people will surely have different perspective with this films bit in order to like it you must prepare yourself for what you may see but don't set a particular standard in your mind before watching do. That way, you may get to enjoy the film.
In the end, this film made me love Komiya Rio better!!!

Lurking in the dark is but a story of LOVE and TRAGEDY
I don't really know where to start but let me start this review by saying, "this movie was beautifully and wonderfully sewed in the dark"The beginning of the movie bears lots of promises. A promise of a wild yet perfect cinematography, a promise to touch your innocence with an invitation to enjoy the darkness and a promise of a BL story. Because for all I know if not all there's someone who decided to watch this movie because of the BL ingredient on it.
Anyways let's go down to the business...
MUSICALITY. Obviously as what the title implies this movie will surely involves singing or music in general. For those who enjoys rap, free speech composition with a raw touch of feeling and emotions surely this movie is for you. You'll come to appreciate the unbounded power of music but for those who are not into such kind of genre you'll surely find yourself trying to understand and enjoy it. For me, I'll give it a pass. I'm not so fond of rap but I love writing thus the compositions strike me the most in those scenes than the rap.
CINEMATOGRAPHY. The movie is more likely produced with an indie film touch on it which contains the raw beauty of reality. The color grading is true to its natural form. The settings, location are well thought of except the forest scene. That's the last place for me to do such act. 😉
CASTING. The main leads nailed it all. Their roles are really suitable to their visuals, get up and background. The main leads are drop dead gorgeous especially sensie. I would fall for him if I were there for sure. They're just too perfect.
STORY. This made the movie worth a penny. The storyline. The movie tackled issues that do not usually happen but do happen and how someone's life could change because of it. The story of survival, slavery - on a different level, story of motivations, inspirations and brotherhood. In all honesty I could say lots of good things about the movie when it comes to the story because for me this is the cream of the crop of this film.
BL? Uhmmm. It depends on how you see BL. If you see BL as a lovey dovey story of both men then this movie is not BL. If you see BL as love between both men regardless of how the story goes and ended well this could be BL. So it is really up to you.
NOT SO FAVOURITE PARTS. I don't like the scene before it ended. Don't really like such ending because the story started dark. I do understand that the story mirrors the cruel reality of our world but I'm this kind of person who see films, movies and dramas as an escape to what I am used to. Thus, I don't fantasized such direction for the finale other than that some parts are quite acceptable.
This is but a great movie. 🙂

Warning ⚠!
This film can be rated already as a porn movie, the only difference is the absence of genitals in the sex scenes. So if you are the innocent type of person, this movie is not for you. I'm already telling you ahead of time.
Details regarding the movie:
The film gave a different perspective regarding prostitutes/call boy and the women who seeks pleasure by hiring those paid for pleasure persons to satisfy their various desires. The movie showed how different every woman from each other and it also showed the sad reality of life, the existence of this pleasure seeking addiction.
No matter how I tried to understand their situation, I still can't comprehend why they keep on doing such act. But I've learned some lessons as well while watching the film. One of them is CONTROL, which is easier to say than being done.
For once in a while we should at least watch this kind of film because avoiding such topic will not change the fact that such thing is already happening in our world today.

STORY/PLOT:
I've already watched Princess Hours years ago and I was so impressed by the said series. I've beend ebating if I will give this series a shotor not so I've been checking reviws from different sites and reading comments regarding this series as well. Until somebody told me that it was worth watching for. So I decided to download the first 10 Episodes and after watching the first Episode I decided to download all 20 episodes. Why? Because I liked it. As simple as that. Honestly this series is not that extravagant as compared to Princess Hours but why compare them both? Prince Hours had its own story and has its own taste which I liked. The Revenge part, the victories by the lead, the downfall of the antagonist. I love them all. But I think more attention should have been given on the later part. The early epsiodes where done intricately but on the last 3-4 episodes the story rocketed to its end. I know that korean series usually has 20 episodes and the directors just tried to put in everything in those 20 episodes but I just want more... Hahahaha. And by the way I have this great passion in terms of Dramas which settings were of the old times, back when the kings and queens existed that is what made me love the series more. :-)
ACTING/CASTS:
It was the first for me to encounter Se7ev in this series the male lead. I am not aware of how he acts but I am aware of how he performs in the stage. So sad, I think he was on hiatus now but he did great on this series. He was able to portray a super bubbly but at the same time humble person. Given the face that he has he was able to pull through the acting that was needed on his role. Same as with the femle lead. This was the first time I saw her and I am really not familiar with her. Well se did well in this series to. But I just don't like her facial expressions because everytime she speaks it looks like she overdoing it. Evrything she is trowing those lines it looks like she'sgoing to cry though the scene is not a scene where she is soppused to cry. To get what I wanted to say better watch the series. Park Shin Hye! I think among all of the casts she was the most popular up until now. The first I saw her I thought she was the female lead but she wasn't cause she was the second female lead. :-) There's no question on how well her acting skills though, I bet you all know her. She's an actress since 2003 and the film was filmed last 2006 so she already has an experience in acting. The Second male lead did great also. I just don't like him. Well, you can't push a person to like somebody right? I just don't like him. Sorry for that.
MUSIC:
For the music, the music they've used is somehow similar with the music that was used in Princess Hours most especially the on the welcoming part. That's what I've missed on that series. As what i have mentioned earlier ago, I love stories which settings was the old times. And that includes the music of that time. As simple as that.
REWATCH VALUE:
Guys, this series has 20 episodes and per hour was an hour long. And that's a total of 20 hours so it watshing it again was really not a good joke, maybe if I have the will to do so I will watch it again.
OVERALL:
This was an amazing series. And if asked if I will recommendit, yes of course I will. If you liked the Princess Hours series I guessed you would learn to love it too. :-)

STORY/PLOT:
The story line was good. Who would have thought that he could be a star but with the face that he has it wouldn't be impossible. I love the revenge part also though its quite overrated, sorry for the term. I don't like the part where the main antagonist has the same reason over and over for having his revenge where in fact it was alll his plan to begin with. I don't like that part also where they consumed more than 15 minutes just discussing the reason why the male main lead was fired. I love the chemistry between the two of them I just want to see more of them though.
ACTING/CASTS:
The acting skills was quite mediocre. If I would ask who among the cast did very well it would be the antagonist of the story because at least he should genuine emotions in his scenes. Ther are some instances where some actors and actresses are like talking to a statue, they were not able to convey the message of the every lines they threw. It's like they are reciting a poem and not acting at all. But they are good looking though, most especially the two male leads. :-) I'll ship them..
MUSIC:
I only appreciate the music on the last part. The 7 minutes scene where what the 2 male leads did was enjoy the moment together. I appreciate the music there because they never had a conversation. :-) So it was the music who made the scenes special.
REWATCH VALUE:
I think I would watch it one more time.
OVERALL:
AS what I said this was a good movie but ofcourse it was not perfect. There are some parts which need improvement. It's quite hanging in the ened as well. I hope the both of them had a longer exposure. But I was satisfied. :-)

LESSON OF THE EVIL (Japanese Movie)
PLOT:
First of all I was not expecting for a movie like this. This film was so brutal. Not advisable for those persons who have weak heart. I was angered by this film and I was expecting for the killer's most tragic death. I want to see him die but unfortunately until the end he did not die. He's even smiling and the odds was still with him. I don't know what I should feel with the movie but I felt heaviness within me after watching it. I want to do the revenge in behalf of all his victims. He even killed those actors and actresses that I've known and like... Huhuhu. What's hilarious about this movie was the ending. The girl was thrown from the rooftop and fortunately she did not died. :-)
ACTING/CASTS
This kind of acting is very hard to pull through. And all casts did a good job. I just don't like how they all ended like that. Huhuhu
MUSIC
Some of the most weird music I've ever heard and was used as background music was in this film. It reminds me of some films with the same genre like The Purge and I don't like it.
OVERALL
I really don't know why I was able to finish the film. Actually I'm still angry while writing this review.grrrrr.... Well I'll be giving a 8/10 rating for this. I don't want to give a low rating just because I hate it. I just want to appreciate the cinematography, the acting and the casts effort because they are suerb. I just don't like the genre, it was not what I've expected. :-)
