My 2021 challenge (❛◡❛)

Thoughts before watching it !- 

Ok so I am confused about this one ! this fulfil two criteria - > favorite actor &  LGBTQ+ ! I have to see which expect of this movie was better , toma's acting or the portrayal of Gay relationships ! 

After-thoughts- 

how do i depict this movie , it's full of perplexing emotions , it doesn't show the full length struggle of a transgender but constantly point out the insecurities she have in her heart! I think motherhood is the second major theme of this drama , it shows 4 different mothers - accepting , irresponsible but loving, overbearing and deficient. Finally a transgender who's slowly becoming desperate ( not excessively tho) to prove or become a real women & mother. 

I will go  with LGBTQ+ tag !

Thoughts before watching it- 

Lol about my selected theme (Let's get physical ) , i am taking a shortcut and watching movies only lmao ! This movie will cover the "sexual content",  harem portion of the theme i guess , also the synopsis is legit crazy ! BUT THIS IS A TRUE SOTRY SO I AM MORE CURIOUS !

After-thoughts-

It scared the shit out of me , i watched this movie on random google suggestion without checking tags/ mdl comments, and now i believe that real monsters exists. 

1. Dramacool had the worst sub so i used kissasian which have the worst player so i had to watch it on normal speed i.e 1X
2. The acting is top top top notch , i believe after ranveer singh , the crazy king deserves legit appreciation , coz anyone will question their humanity after even acting like this . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aoUpCXY7uk (reference for ranveer singh )
3. Beautifully shot and the nudity portion is balanced well with intense music. STILL IT'S SO DISTURBING , I WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES TONIGHT!
4. If we avoid the crazy part , then this movie have a pretty decent story ,"every thing revolves around karma" , I saw a movie recently "ludo" which explained that karma is the key , bad or good , you have to do it no matter what , a teacher's karma is to teach , if he is walking around helping poors instead of teaching , it's not adding in his plus point for heaven ! lord krishna told arjuna to fight against his family since it's his karma as warrior! you can't escape it, therefore Lm song jae can't help it ! 
5. I liked the portrayal of ending but the fact that evil is still alive among kind people broke my heart .  

Thoughts before watching it-

I am not a very big fan of amnesia but since i opted for tags (misc dark ), i have to watch one , luckily i found one in my PTW, I added this movie since it have actors i like! i can watch a sad movie without knowing beforehand that it's sad , but i kinda now know what to expect ! 

After- thoughts- 

I am crying like a baby ! IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE MOVIE I HAVE SEEN. I was wrong about it earlier that there will me unnecessary melodrama coz it was full of calm pure emotions , and it's a true story so i felt more connected to their struggles . The last picture of real couple was screenshot worthy , both the actors damn , how can they be so perfect ! ufff ufff ! not all amnesia tags are bad i see . 

Thoughts before watching it

I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED ! But again i am in a dilemma since it fulfil two genres - Revenge and Tragic -past ! I am hooked by synopsis but i am not sure how will they end it, since he's a criminal , will he end up in jail or is it suicide ?   

After-thoughts

I avoid watching chaotic movies since the scenes become brutally disgusting (Atleast in bollywood movies) even when the story is interesting. But korean movies are so aesthetic even in crime genre ! I have now respect for male lead for playing this conflicted character( i hated his other works ) , What a ride !  i will mark it as tragic past coz revenge only overrule the sadness of the story for last 5 mins.

Thoughts before watching it -

ok so this is for my favorite actress, i initially wanted to watch park min young's movie but she have done only one in 2011, that too horror genre with animal abuse as a tag ! sadly song hye kyo don't have good movies. So i am going with our cutie haruna, i have kept this movie in my ptw for awhile. Lead actor have recently caught my attention so let's see how it goes !

After-thoughts

B.O.R.I.N.G! since dramacool subs were so bad i again had to watch it on that freaky site kissasain , notice it's name first, kiss - asian , i am an asian but i don't wanna get kissed only because you are promoting it like this ah! Upgrade ur player dear , then maybe i can think of giving a flying kiss ! 

ok so the movie was sci-fi time travel kinda thing , it was slow and ml was a bit creepy , apart from it , i can say it was pretty decent !

i may choose another movie for my fav actress and leave it as it is ! btw i can watch ouran high school host club movie version but again i hate repeating stories !

Thoughts before watching this

Tag- murder/death , ok so tbh i have stolen this from @baekri's list (She have given it a perfect score ) and i trust her lol ( Am i makinng this a serious issue like , i trust her so i will invest my money in her self written drama starring chen feiyu? Nce deal tho - ) 

But i do like plot with revenge as a primary trope plus it's old and yk old is gold !

After-thoughts 

1. ME TO MYSELF - https://media.giphy.com/media/xT5LMFzytmJ07GmqkM/giphy.gif !
2. It's the mosttttt soul-stirring movie i have seen ! @baekri let's togther invest on chen feiyu coz your choice isn't wrong at all.
3. uff the plot, the execution , the twists , the acting , the music ! JUST WOW! 
4. - 0.5 points for confusing me at start lol, i mean after half hour i thought the movie was over and teacher got her revenge !

Thoughts - tag- age gap, there are no before thoughts coz i was having a meme fight while watching it (got a nice mello jello deal ) + it was recommended by a trustworthy person @hafsuh as i told her that i wasn't liking the drama i selected ealier ( nodoko no niwa) 

• SO IS THERE ANY MOVIE OF NANA KOTMASTU WHICH ISN'T AESTHETIC ? NO 
• WAS THERE A SINGLE CRINGY MOMENT ? NO
• DOES IT HAVE An IMPRATICAL ENDING ? NO
• WAS IT A SLOW BURN? YES , DO I LIKE SLOW BURN ? KINDA NO

So sometimes while going through a hard time you try to divert your mind in any available emotional field, maybe you get serious about it later but mostly those decisions are on impulse.so this movie was beautiful + the theme rain makes it perfect for a rainy day with light music but currently it's winter here but i still think it was a pretty decent watch in my socks ! :)

hafsuh yr japan m kitni aasaani se ye log part time krr lete h , humare desi parents bhai kabhi allow hi na krre !  

Thoughts before watching it 

tag- revenge ! Actually right now , my mind is empty, i will just watch it and then sleep ! But one thing is there, i love the male actor since very beginning of my drama watching years. 

After- thoughts 

THE MAJOR TWIST DAMN! I could have never imagined that! woaa how can i sleep now? I am a bit disappointed by ending but what could i expect from this drama with such dark theme. LOL i was imagining a bollywood remake of this coz indian directors love to copy korean thrillers, who can they cast as our two leads - rajkumar rao as bigger brother and ishan kattar as smaller ! yes 

but kudos to the writer and actors ! 

Thoughts before watching it -

By pure coincidence isbusybiging  told me about this movie and since the director of this film have made two of my fav dramas i will use it for the tag of favorite director !One of  My favorite drama shows about a rebellious boy who changes his ways and get into a top university so i am curious that how  same story will turn out for a girl, i am sucker for stories like "dumb student explores themselves and become a top one " since i want that miracle to happen in my own life lmao ! (sadly crying )

After-thoughts -

Well  tbh i have a soft corner for stories like this, it may be a normal one for someone else but it is the most incentive movie for me. thanks isbusybinging for introducing me to such a wonderful work ! I thought that this movie will have an insistent girl who denies to study but in turn it was very cheery from start, the teacher was adorable , the mother was lovable , the fatherwas  sooo cute ! aaahhhh i love this , can i say this again? I LOVEEEE THISSSSS ! 

before thoughts - tag (weak male lead) It's this lol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHqn8Shm2lg

Ater-thoughts- lol , i mean it felt like a B-grade low budget comedy movie but okay the ending was quite funny! the trailer i mentioned above have a nicer story but bad ending ! 

tag- poor lead ! Before thoughts - Hmm time travel? it is giving me someday or oneday vibes but i am sure that drama is irreplaceable

after- thoughts!-  

she didn't went back to change past but to fall in love :) A pretty normal storyline but it teaches us a very important thing, hangout with yourself , you are your best friend lol. 

 tag - eccentric lead, Before thoughts - uff both my favorite leads and seems like a disney fairytale ! 

after-thoughts - Very retro feel to it,  talks about the typical fancy  dreamy love  which i am not a very big fan of but the small twist at end made it worthwhile. 

fav screenwriter - Kosawa ryota ( He wrote the screen-play for "the confidence man jp" 

before thoughts- Ok so  i admit that i have major crush on yui and i just wanna watch her smile as much i can. I don't know the ml + i am not a very big fan of court-room dramas , i can watch the police catching thief but discussion about the mysteries  in a closed room is big no no. 

after-thoughts- hahahaha! what an epic ending, i loved the theme of the drama that "lawyers are not god, they are not in business of justice but in work of law", Hattori-san was a refreshing & well planned character and i loved that over the top  rivalry.  I rated it 7.5 for few reason - I didn't saw any progress in yui's character, her values weren't given enough importance for even 1 episode so idk why she kept on hanging it. plus she left ml's chamber and came back after one loss ? wtf , also ml speaks way too fast, i had a hard time reading subs. :) 

tag- aggressive lead , before thoughts-  ok so ik what i am getting myself into, not a lovey-dovey story but two psychopaths clashing with each other! Now that's my type lol ! i have huge expectations tbh .  

After-thoughts- WOAA! i mean YESSS, that's what i call some solid stuff, the story is raw, it do not explains many things to you, the fl is an interesting character, maybe she's a psycho too coz her emotional state is imbalanced. idk if it was good for the little girl to stay with her but atleast she don't kill people for fun. Damn the ml , can i say a secret , men like these are my guilty pleasure. i want more movies like this ! 

tag- Watch a drama/movie by a director/writer you haven't seen anything from before. 

before thoughts - ok so i dropped marmalade boy , coz it was slow and weird af, maybe someday when i am in mood to watch something horrible i will pick it up ! now this movie looks fun , it reminds of this film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Hle83Plpo

after- thoughts - OMG ! I must say, this was some good stuff i was missing ,i already like the actor (his voice is super sexy) and now i am in love. This movie have mildly sexual content with aa fun quirky story, i mean YES, long calls are the key, you can say whatever you want, any embarrassing secret, the songs of this movie are super fun , now about the trailer i mentioned above , it does have similarities with this movie, but it was about how commitment make everything so stressed up, now i think this one was more like -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7X7mwcEJ-w woaa i have seen a lot of movies i guess lol

tag - obsession ! "already added this to my fav jdrama list so no comments here " oh well but yes one thing i forgot to write there, ml is sexy lol !

tag- reverse harem ! This was okayish! i didn't paid much attention to what was going on and watched it in 2X ! my only motivation to watch this movie was takumi ! why is he so cute ?

mental health ! not finding decent subs tho :(

Found it ! Woaaa what an inspiring movie , i felt very sad and depressed at start but smiled like a fool at the ending. Movies like this tells you the bitter truth of society! Not everyone gets an angel like "yu" tho ~ 

Fav actor- lee jong suk

already added it to my happy drama collection , and it's top on the list !!!

tag- cold lead 

Hmm okayish ! i liked the songs but the story was very dramatic and they didn't even told us why they love each other !!

tag- betrayal 

Woaaa, watching this i suddenly want to make another custom list with favorite movies. I mean it's just too nonsensical but so fun. I am humming the death song now and i think i will not stop for few days. 

corruption 

added to other custom list !

sexual content ! 

damn very clever , smart and disturbing !
