A Review: Bu Bu Jing Xin



I've been planning to watch this drama since early last year but I just couldn't find time to watch. So it took me almost a year until I finally got to see this drama. Most of the knowledge I had about BBJX was from Koala. I could see how much she loved it that got me curious and interested. Okay, here we go, gotta start my introduction.

Movie Review: You are the apple of my eye


First Love, the common theme for romantic films these days. If Thailand has Crazy little thing called love, and Korea has Architecture 101, Taiwan has You are the apple of my eye. Films of this kind  are always a hit because they give a sense of nostalgia to the audience. 

You are the apple of my eye is a combination of CLTCL and Architecture 101. It has the sweet and fun high school days like in CLTCL and the bittersweet ending of Architecture 101 (spoiler!). And like Architecture 101, the story is mainly about the male lead.

The plot —The story begins in 1994 when Ko Ching-teng is in senior high school. Ko Ching-teng and Shen Chia-yi have been classmates since junior high school. Ko Ching-teng is good for nothing, happy go lucky guy, while Shen Chia-yi is an honor student and teachers' favorite. One day, Ko Teng is caught masturbating inside their classroom with another classmate (Yup, you read it right, he masturbates in public. Plus he walks naked inside their house even when his parents are around. Wtf! Maybe this is to add humor, but I think it's more disturbing than funny. Our hero is an exhibitionist?! Who will fall for that kind of guy? Oh well, anyway, that's the only part I hate in the movie.) After punishing him, the teacher moves Ko Teng's seat in front of Chia-yi and asks her to keep an eye on Ko Teng.

Shadows of Love opens in 4000 theaters in China


Kwon Sang-woo's Chinese movie premiered last May 11, 2012, and was released in 4000 theaters in China.

I'm neither a fan of Kwon Sang-woo nor Cecilia Cheung but the premise of this film looks interesting. Kwon Sang-woo plays the boyfriend of a rich heiress, played by Cecilia Cheung, who suddenly disappears, he then asks a poor florist who resembles his girlfriend, also played by Cheung, to act as his girlfriend for a week.

Movie Review: Secret


Secret is a romance film directed by Taiwanese singer-heartthrob Jay Chou. Chou is also the male lead in the movie, he co-wrote the story, and most of the songs used in the movie are his compositions. (Yes, he is a mutant genius gifted guy.)

Okay, I'm not gonna tell you what exactly the movie is all about for you to enjoy your viewing experience. From the movie title itself, you should know that there is a secret, but of course, that's for you to find out. No spoiler.
