To see two of my favorite actor playing in the same movie is such heaven on earth. Both of them have an amazing skill. Ayano's acting was beyond my expectation, his bitterness looks very well.
This movie mostly talk about kendo philosophy, trauma and guilty feeling ... and how they're dealt with it. The best parts for me are when they're fighting in the middle of the rain, and when they're fighting at the dojo.
Honestly, maybe this movie is kinda boring for some people, but I love the martial arts movie, so this is fine with me (^_^)

I was waiting for this movie since I don't know when ... and actually I forgot the title (^o^;) I won't tell you the story of how I finally watch this, so let's move to the movie (^_^)
The movie is quite cheesy, actually ... but the story is fun. I love the role of Kurokawa, he is so funny with his awkward attitude. On the other side, Riko's passion towards her job is rather cute too. I still don't get it about the coup d'etat, but well ... at least that action make the good-rather-cheesy closure.
I love this movie, it will warmed your heart in Christmas day (^_^)

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]Well, what can I say about this movie? I laughed and cried in the middle of the night. This is a cute movie, but I hate Nagano Mei's role (>.<) It takes an effort to switch my mind to understand her role, because before I watched Hirunaka hahaha.
Ok, back to the movie. Hmm ... basically, the plot is similar with Hirunaka no Ryuusei, but with apple and apple comparison, which the heroine must choose between students, not teacher and student. The conflict is more pronounced, where the role of antagonist is really bad until the end.
I'm sad for those who left behind, but when I saw the after-credit, I'm glad that everyone is okay (^_^)

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]There's a times I get mad at Nobuyuki. I mean ... really? He reveals Rika's secret in front of everyone? That's really a big no no >.< Besides of that, this movie is really great. Not a tearjerker, but the story is really deep. How hard and how sad Rika to adapt in her environment are really punch you straight in the face to see and to know the reality. And when Rika finally have the self-esteem, that's when you really proud of her (I even screaming hahaha). Another sad but sweet story.

- "Revenge."
"What is the greatest injustice?"
- "Having things you don't deserve."
"Who really understands this world?"
- "Those who understand themselves."
"What is the secret of 'eternity'?"
- "Love."

I'll tell you a secret. At first I want to give 6.0 for this movie because of its slow progress and uncertain ending. But then I did some cheating, I read others comment for this movie (I never do that before) and then... "Aaah!!! So that's how it goes! I didn't see that coming!" LOL
After that, I start to have different perspective for this movie. Yes it slow, but it have a deep and (a little bit) dark meaning (^_^)
(Not to mention that Mukai Osamu is so handsome with glasses <3)

This movie split into 3 sections. The first one is Kanna's past and tragedy, the second one is Roku's past and tragedy, and the last one is their present. In my opinion, the divided of the storytelling portion of Kanna and Roku's past is not very fair, where Kanna's past is told long enough and in detail, whereas Roku's past is only told as a flashback several times. In addition, the storyline is also a little slow but flows well. To sum it up, this movie is Sad yet funny. Tragic yet heart warming.
Acting/Cast:
Nagasawa Masami and Okada Masaki both played great and got the chemistry.
Rewatch Value:
I think I will rewatch this movie again sometimes just to find if I miss some details before ^_^

Story :It’s such a good drama. Really. Not just because the actor is Kimura Takuya who I adore the most in my teenage day. LOL. It talks about the traumatic in the brain which caused Ieji lost his memory and saw his present wife and son in a mask. I don't know if that possible in a real world or not, but the idea is interesting enough for me. Well, the lack of detail for me is just that they don’t really explain why Ieji saw a mask on his wife and son face (even the silliest explanation). I know it's the side effect of the accident, but why mask? Why not something else? But after all, it’s good movie ^_^
Acting/Cast :
Kimura Takuya acting is not something for debated or questioned, he can be anyone he told to be ^_^ As for Ueto Aya, I can't clearly seen her acting in this drama because most of the time she wore a mask.. ^_^;

First, they don't explain WHY Azusa experience that condition. Second, the ending is just like whyyyy???? T^T
The lead male and female act great and the best thing about this movie is Murakami Nijiro's acting at the end of the movie.

The atmosphere of this movie is similar with Meet Me @ 1006. Or so the peoples say, thus I watched this movie. But besides that, there's Takahashi Issey and I can't resist not to watch (^_^;) The different tactic in this movie which differentiate it with other time travel movie/drama is that this movie start with the past time, not with the present time, so I don't really feel the time travel atmosphere.After I watch this, in my opinion the things that similar with Meet Me @ 1006 is the mission of male lead to save the female lead, and when the mission complete the merge/the portal/the miracle--or whatever they've named--ended. Sadly, in my opinion this movie is not too strong. Maybe because :
1. The category is movie, they must packed a lot of things in the short time
2. No side story, just romance
3. I put my hope too high because I watched Meet Me @ 1006 before this
But don't worry, the movie still watchable and the story still great. No plot hole and have a detail.
The male and female lead's act is not questionable. They have a good act, even though I didn't get the great chemistry between them in this movie.
My most favorite part is when Shiori and Hirano went to Shiori's college. Their interaction is really natural and heartwarming.

My eyes are spoiled by Sakaguchi Kentaro and Fujiki Naohito Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→
I like the scientific explanations in this film. I can learn a lot even though sometimes it's hard to follow the logic with my brain capacity XD Overall, this drama has an interesting story with an interesting presentation. It's just that, I still hope for a romantic story between Taku and Wakura XD

AWESOME!!! This drama not only talk about music (but I really love the music scenes), but they talk a lot too about the friendship which feels like family. They support each other when the troubles come. The conflicts outside the quartet are not too deep also not too shallow. The settlement somehow didn't feel like a settlement for me, maybe because it's go so smooth so I didn't realize that the problems are solved.My first thought after I read the synopsis is that somehow I will find any suspense theme in this dorama. My other first guess is that the three of them hired by Maki Maki’s mother-in-law to make friends and observes her. Refer to the synopsis, not only Beppu, but every member in the quartet have a secret either from their past or their present. At first, I think I can say a lot about this drama, but then I realize that I can't told the beauty of this drama with words. So maybe it's better for you all to watch and feel the warmth of this drama.
Two of my favorite actor/actress are here and I'm really pleased. Takahashi Issey is really funny in here! He had a lot of lines and he nailed it to say it with such a speed (⁀ᗢ⁀) The other casts played great too, but for me the outstanding acting goes to Takahashi Issey and Mitsushima Hikari.
Music :
I really love the ending song of this drama because it's the song sung by the four of them : Otonano Okite - Doughnuts Hole

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]The story, although it is talk about the illness and tragedy, but didn't loose touch of youth life, like its freshness, cuteness, and of course its romance (*^.^*) The one that really get into my mind is when Takuya follow Mamizu's instruction to atone his mistake of broke Mamizu's snow globe. The day he went to amusement park, wearing a bow hat, riding a roller coaster and eat 'First Love' parfait makes me laugh hard at my office desk, on my lunch hour (≧∇≦)
Kitamura Takumi's act is good, but for the most outstanding act is from Nagano Mei. She's doing very great in this movie ヽ(♡‿♡)ノ
In the end, even though this is a tragedy-kind-of movie, but in my opinion this is a heartwarming and sweet movie.

[WARNING: the rating and review I give have the possibility to be subjective due to my preference for the genres, scenes or casts]First time I saw this drama is on iQiyi. The synopsis seems funny and I'm bit surprised that the male lead named Jerry Yan. The only Jerry Yan I know is the one played Dao Ming Si in Meteor Garden 2001 (^o^;) So I try to watch this drama ... and I can't stop watching! (^_^)
At first, I'm a bit annoyed with Lin Lu's attitude, because she haven't act like a woman, somehow her tomboyish attitude feels exaggerated. But the longer, her attitude changed to be sweeter and cuter. The tomboyish attitude was still there, but it didn't feel excessive like in the beginning.
Shi Lian Shen is so childish and caring at the same time. His childish side makes me exasperated, on the other hand, his caring side makes me scream a scream of joy (^o^) As for Jerry Yan's act, sometimes I can't read his expression. His gesture showed that he annoyed with Lin Lu's attitude, but sometimes at that moment, he seems like he's smiling, not pouting. I don't know, maybe I miss interpreted the expression (^_^;)
But, the interaction between him and Lin Lu always makes me smile (^_^) Their height differences is so cute too! It seems so difficult and tiring to see they're kissing when standing (^o^;)
I love how mature the (should be) antagonist female is. Better than using tricks or hurt the female lead, she choose the more diplomatic and mature ways (like imitating the style and being friends). Those ways are more elegant in my eyes and gain some respects. But, it's a different story for the second male lead. I never thought that he will use a woman who love him and he loved--his best friend too--in order to reach his goal. His acting is really great I really hate him when he's on the screen.
The conflict is something between 'complicated' and 'why you make it so complicated?'. Until now I can't classified the conflict between those category. Following the conflict, the closure feels rushing too. In my opinion, it's better if they add 1 more episode to explain some things in those 3 years, or what makes Shi Lian Shen decided to fight for Lin Lu again. They have some of little hole to patch up, but I can make the conclusion that this is a sweet and heartwarming drama worth to watch.

I put 18+ warning here because the movie has a lot of bloody scene (well, what do you expect from a war? XD).
I'm waiting for this movie since I don't know when because of Yamaken, but when I'm watching it I'm captivated by Yoshizawa Ryo as Eisei (^o^)
For the movie itself, I feel like this movie is a fusion between Rurouni Kenshin and Lord of The Ring (^_^;) I didn't focused too much to the story, I'm more focused to the action scene, which for me great enough (except for some "fall down" or "thrown off" scene). The story was great as far as I remember, but the ending feels like it being forced to be ended, a.k.a a bit anti-climax and too simple for the closure of that big story.
The casts acting are superb, especially for Yoshizawa Ryo and Hongo Kanata. Yoshizawa Ryo's imperial expression and gesture are really dazzling (♡-_-♡), while Hongo Kanata's vicious expression really thrilling ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : ) Not forget to mention that Nagasawa Masami is really badass ♡ ～('▽^人) How about Yamaken? He's doing great too, so powerfull (ox strength, said Hyou XD), free-wheeling and passionate, but sometimes I feel like he force his "free-wheeling" and comical act so that they're becomes bit too much. But despite than that, he's doing great as usual (°◡°♡)
