Bull Fighting (Drama)


Synopsis:
Genre: Romance, Comedy

It started as a 3-on-3 basketball competition between two rival schools; an annual event in which the winner would control the 13th Street basketball court for the following year. To everybody's surprise, the 9-year reigning champion, East Sun University, lost this year... and it was all because of one girl. Yi Sheng Xue (Hebe) is the successor of the 13th street and is East Sun's biggest supporter. After a run in with ES's Shen Ruo He (Mike He), who was on his way to the game, was sabotaged by Sheng Xue's gangster troop (Lee Wei is SX's personal bodyguard). After the loss, Sheng Xue blames Ruo He for losing the court and ruining East Sun's name. Now, this game has a new purpose.



Ok... I have finished this one, and it was just an ok, story. Is it a wow factor? No. Is it worth watching? Yes. Try it, then if you can't handle it, it's ok, there are a lot of things to watch here on my list...hehehe...>_<

It Started With A Kiss 2 (Drama)


Synopsis:

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Everything that happens after marriage will happen to the newly married couple, Zhi Shu (Joe Cheng) and Xiang Qin (Ariel Lin). A lot of laughs and tears and more casts join the lovable family. What will happen when these two encounter such troubles?


Edit: Aaaaaahhh!!!... It's done!!! I miss them already!!! I can't believe it!!!... I want more!!... I was depressed for like the day after I finished watching it!... I wish ArJoe would do some more things together coz they definitely have a LOT of chemistry together! I love it!
BTW, to those who have seen it and thought the ending could be better, it is all due to the copyright of the manga. The mangaka (the artist Tada Kaoru) died before she could finish the manga. So in respect to the mangaka and for copyright reasons, the director of TKA followed the story and how it was left off... I know, it feels so short but it leaves things to the imagination (perhaps too much...) But anywayz, I still love it!!!... I'll live Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin forever!!

I didn't think that this movie would be that good! I was like 'whow'... 'aaahh'...and the like. Writing the synopsis was a little mind boggling 'coz I wanted to tell a few details without actually giving away the whole movie...but heck, I tried. Maybe some tears, here and there. If you liked The Classic, then I think you'll like this.

Wow, an action movie in here! Yay. I was actually scared of watching this beacuse of the battle scenes and all, but it was, overall, a good movie. There were a lot of familiar faces in here, even though they appear for a short while. Hmm...maybe that's why I was attracted to watch this movie...

One of my favorite movies! It is a very touching movie! Have some tissues handy ok! Oh, when watching the music video, please listen to the lyrics of the song (one of my favorites). The song really brings forward the emotions that are in the movie, so please listen closely. Don't worry, the song is in English by the filipino singer Gary Valenciano (if anyone is wondering >_<). Hehehe...

I'm one of the millions of people who love this drama!!! Yes!! It's so cool! I love it! I'm gonna be mean hee for a second, but truthfully, It Started With a Kiss is better than Itazura na Kiss (the Japanese Version). Sorry! I know that I have been saying that comparison should stop, but really!!!! Sorry!! I'm gonna crawl up in a ball now and watch ISWAK 2 (They Kiss Again). Yes people! Season 2!!!!

Sounds familiar? Because this is what the American movie, The Lake House, was based on. But still, we must not compare and contrast both movies. Let us all be open to anything.

Andrea catches the eye of the rich son, while the daughter fancies Daniel, too. This will set in motion a series of events that will test how deep the two's love goes.







YES! Something from the mother land!!! I'm surprised that this movie made a move on me. Wow, that rarely happens with a Filipino movie. But anywayz, this was based on Ellis Bell's, a.k.a Emily Bronte, book Wuthering Heights. I've read the other sister's book, now I'm intruiged with this. Wahahaha.... 'Promise?'...naks...

My Girl and I

This is the Korean remake of the Japanese movie, Crying out Love, in the Center of the World. Try not to compare both movies, for I think each movie has it's own "oomph", so just a tip, so you wouldn't ruin it for yourself. Oh, and Song Hye Gyo in the movie!...weee!
