Now here is everything I watched for the month of September:

- The contents of this post are arranged by order of when I finished watching said show or film. - 

This movie came in as a surprise watch for me. I never really planned on watching it(never will), but because of my sister's recent obsession with the JOSHLIA pairing and so... this happened. 

It's not phenomenal. At most times I really want to erase the James character in this for being annoying(don't even get me started on the fact that he doesn't know how to act). For me, what made this work is the little moments including the main pair. Which brings us to JOSHLIA's chemistry, which saved this movie in a sense (it's still not that great, though.). But I guess if you have time to waste and adoration towards both Joshua and Julia, you'll find the motivation to enjoy the movie. 

Taishi has so much stuff out, that I even had to watch his earlier works just to warm up to him. But funny enough, he doesn't really get my attention to his projects. My attention goes to the people around him in said projects and the story itself. That's what happene with me in Kyou no Kira-kun.


Marie Iityo was such a surprise to me. She's adorable in this movie. Everything she does in this movie is just the cutest - I never really paid attention to others. The story was decent, I guess - a big ball of shoujo cliches rolled into one. And Marie Iitoyo I believe is the saving grace of this movie. She nailed Ninon in every way possible. And if it's not for her - I might've stopped watching the movie altogether.












The first time I tried to watch this movie, I actually gave up after the first 2 minutes. It felt so slow and it's rare for me to like slow movies. And in second viewing - since I was honestly bored at that time, I was able to finally finish it.


The food shots were great, the story is nice. Overall it was nice, but I honestly wasn't really into it. The pace ruined it for me, but hey... it looks damn pretty.












The only Korean drama to date that I finished and tuned in to(along with the web drama Love Playlist Season 2). As part of the school series, it goes with the typical school formula of love, friendship, school corruption and crazy parents. And to be honest with you, I'm getting sick of it.


The only factor as to why I even tuned in is because I liked the people in this. They had cute moments. But most of the time, there were moments where I just want to skip scenes because I'm getting sick of the frustrating situations this show was giving. Let's not forget to acknowledge the fact that the show is pretty, most of the time I get really happy with how the shots were coordinated. But after 5-6 episodes, I started to see the pattern in how the show was edited, so it kind of got a bit repetitive and lazy for me. But I guess, the overall it all comes down to the "kids", who has issues and got me invested in rooting for them. They played their part well, and that should be appreciated.












Another discovery thanks to a fanmade video. Nigakute Amai took a lot of effort from me since I never saw an easy link where to find it, I had to like the search for it as well as the subs (though I'm also fine with watching it raw).


Though I kind of am supposed to be familiar with the scenes since I've watched it through a fan vid first. I liked that I was still able to experience the bittersweetness of it despite that. I loved how it was shot, there were some cheesy moments, Mackenyu is here as well! Though the ending felt kind of short - I was alright with that.











I decided to check this show out because my sister liked the new kid called Daniel. And so here I am, watching a variety show I am not sure of. And I must say, this show could probably be the definition of clickbait in korean variety in terms of marketing.


It started out alright. the first four boys were what I felt like the right mix. But then the show keeps on adding missions, other stuff, and other people that it seemed kind of a desperate move. The messy editing is not helping either. It has its moments, and I could see the idea blossoming. But at times I never liked how the captions seem so stereotypical of homebodies. Not to mention the all-out exploitation of Highlight's Junhyung, EXO's Xiumin and Daniel to make people watch it.
