Hey! :D I was wondering if you have a DL link to your Yeon Seo & Kim Dan || Angels Last Mission video. I love it, but it's been blocked in my Country on YT. I just wanted to ask in case you did. :)

I don't but I could probably send it to you? I'm happy you liked my video 🤗😁😍

"You decide what to do and eat"...That's not what we want! What we want is someone to take the lead without us doing anything

The series primarily focuses on two characters, Naoki Kamiya (Tomohisa Yamashita), a professional basketball player, and Riko Shirakawa (Keiko Kitagawa), an aspiring violinist. Over the course of the series Naoki faces difficulties trying to succeed in the world of basketball, and Riko struggles to become a successful violinist. Eventually the two meet and the series chronicles their relationship and struggles, as well as those of their friends.

Episodes- 11

Plot- 05|10 Boy meets girl and they become friends. Boy has girlfriend who is cheating on him. Girl falls for boy but is seeing someone else who is connected to boy. That’s pretty much the whole plot. It doesn’t really do much apart from focus on the characters which in some aspects can really work and you really learn about each character individually. I’m not saying that this drama is boring as I thoroughly enjoyed watching it at the time and I quickly got through it not feeling bored or eager to finish, though whether that is thanks to the 11 episode only factor, I am not sure. What I did enjoy about the plot was the use of basketball as it’s fore front. I enjoyed watching a different aspect such as sports and music coming together into one drama thanks to the connections between the charterers. It was interesting to see how it played out though the plot was at high risk of dragging on as the series progressed as there is only so much characters and Good actors can do with limited plot to tie into each other. If I’m completely honest, sometimes the characters came across as either bland or annoying. The most interesting characters to me were Naoki’s girlfriend and the man she was cheating on him with. It added more drama and suspense and dare I say reality to the series. Overall the plot is average with moments you can thoroughly enjoy.

Acting- When it comes to the acting, I’m torn. Japanese dramas 90% of the time and if not more have such a high quality of acting. The same goes for this drama, however I only know this because I have seen the actors elsewhere. Tomohisa Yamashita is well known in Japan and has done many projects, which I have always enjoyed, but Naoki comes across as bland sometimes and perhaps that’s due to the writing or to help make it understandable that his girlfriend would cheat but it makes it hard to really feel for him, though due to Yamashita’s acting it wasn’t unbearable. Ahhh Keiko Kitagawa, let’s face it she is absolutely stunning but I’m going to be honest her character drove me mad within this series. She was just too annoying to wrap my head around. She came across as selfish and whiny. I wanted the main couple to come together but I was clueless as to why she was desirable to the male characters in the first place. I do recognize that this was mainly due to the writing and the plot of the series. The actors themselves did well, each character found its grounding within the scenes they appeared in, however there was no chemistry between the leads. None. Nada. As a couple, they were sweet and their kiss scenes are to die for but within scenes where they spoke, it was always just missing that extra umph that made you ship them. Classic example of good chemistry is Inoue Mao and Matsumoto Jun in hana yori dango. I felt more burning lust and desire from the leads girlfriend and the arrogant basketball player she was cheating with.

Oct- I’f i am honest, i can’t remember the soundtrack apart from the intro. The intro is pop rock and is relatively enjoyable, but let’s just say I won’t be spending money on having it on my spotify.

Rating-06|10-Not terrible but far from one of the best dramas I have seen. I would recommend this drama if you enjoy sport based shows and romance, of course but do not put it on top of your list, I have plenty more that deserve to go ahead of this one. Overall it was dun to pass the time with enough eye candy to keep me hooked.

Kill Me, Heal Me

Kill me Heal me

The human body is capable of all sorts of things to survive difficult situations. Cha Do Hyun (Ji Sung) is a third-generation business heir who developed dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder) in the aftermath of several life-threatening traumatic events. He tries to regain control over his life with the help of Oh Ri Jin (Hwang Jung Eum), a first-year psychiatric resident who helps him secretly. But Ri Jin’s twin brother, Oh Ri On (Park Seo Joon), is a writer who is determined to uncover the unscrupulous lives of the rich and starts following Do Hyun around. Can Do Hyun take control over his condition before one of his seven personalities takes control over him instead?

Episodes- 20

Plot- 10|10

This was it. This was the best drama of 2015 in my opinion. It doesn’t get better than this. Whether that is a good thing or not i’m still deciding. The plot of the series was down right brilliant. I know that 2015 released a bunch of split personality drama’s, however this one captured me from the get go.

A fiercely bright and bubbly doctor chooses to help Cha Do Hyun with his issue of split personalities and as she does, she becomes close to each part of him and falls in love along the way. Brilliant. I love that idea, it wasn’t one I had seen before 2015 and the in which the plot developed it never dragged on too much. The writers knew where the strength of the series lied, with the two leads and the split personalities, hence the little screen time for the second leads. Which worked perfectly for the drama series.

Of course this is a Korean Drama, so it’s not all smooth sailing as family background and mixed childhoods play a major role in our protagonists life however thanks to the various personalities Ji Sung plays, it never feels boring or slow. One thing I can say about the use of the split personalities is the fact that the writers never randomly brought them up, they always played a purpose in moving the plot forward or helping us as an audience as well as Ri Jin a tad more about Do Hyun’s background and insecurities.

I love the fact that the main lead was in a love triangle with himself, as Shin Se-Ki, one of the personalities. It was a unique and interesting idea to bring to the table and it worked really well.

This series has everything you could possibly want, romance, comedy, fun, sadness and drama.

It is tricky with long dramas as there is a risk of the plot becoming tedious and boring but I must say the writers did so well with keeping it exciting and heart warming. Be prepared for tears, that’s all I can say!

Acting- Incredible. There is no other way to describe it. I have never been so impressed with an actor’s performance in a korean drama before than I have watching this series.

When it comes to Ji Sung, most people will already have high expectations as he delivers each time and in each role. However within this particular role he had to play 7. Each are executed to perfection.Each character distinctive yet true to his original character of Do Hyun. Ji Sung had the almost impossible task of making us believe in each different character and essentially had the role to make the audience love them, he succeed, with what seemed like little to no effort whatsoever. I was outraged he never won all the best actor awards for his solo performance within this series. He was absolutely incredible and I will stand by that and no doubt will many others.

Hwang Jung Eum, she was harder to get my head around before i started watching the series. If i’m honest, I was never a big fan of her work and actively avoided anything she was in. I had seen her on certain variety shows and she never seemed likable to me. After this series, I can tell you my opinion on her has changed and I have gone back to various series she has been in and have loved them! She blew me away with her performance within this drama.She had to react off Ji Sung and his change in character and she did so perfectly which in turn made Ji Sung shine. It’s a rare thing to find two actors bounce off each other in a scene and in turn make each other stand out. Perhaps it’s lasting chemistry from their previous drama Secret. Her crying scenes were simply stunningly realistic and gut wrenching. I guarantee it will make you choke up with emotion watching the story unfold for these two characters.

The chemistry the leads have is undeniable. Park Seo-joon is another person who shines in his role as Oh Ri-on. He plays Hwang Jung Eum’s brother with an unrequited love for her. He plays the dumb brother with a secret pass time amazingly well. His chemistry with Jung is also undeniable, so much in fact that they landed another drama series as the main leads in She was pretty.

Each actor within the series had their role to play and they are all portrayed perfectly, it’s hard to find fault with the actors within this series.

OST-10|10

I am normally quite harsh when it comes to music as it all comes down to personal preference and whether it fits in with what I am reviewing, however this one song: Jang Jae In- Auditory Hallucination, had me straight away. I love it and felt it fit in incredibly well with the series. It portrays the split personalities and desperation throughout the characters. It’s simply haunting and it works stunningly well.

There are plenty of other songs within the ost that also do a brilliant job of bringing out the feelings of our main characters, such as Park Seo-joon ’s OST called Letting you go.

The type of ost songs that do well are the ones that you can listen to and it brings you back to the drama series. This is why the Kill me Heal me OST is rated highly.

Rating-10|10

There was no denying that I was going to rate this drama so highly. It is the best drama from 2015 and arguably one of the best over the past recent years. I don’t think you can get better than this drama.

You find new love not to forget the past love. But you forget the past because of that new love

Bokura Ga Ita

Boku Ga Ita

"We Were There" follows the 10 year romance between Motoharu Yano (Toma Ikuta) & Nanami Takahashi (Yuriko Yoshitaka). During their high school days, Motoharu Yano was the most popular boy in school, but can't get over the death of his girlfriend from a car crash. Nanami Takahashi falls in love with Motoharu Yano and must deal with his inability to let go of the past.

Episodes- 2 Part Film- 121 minutes each

Plot- 8|10

I enjoy a soppy high school romance and therefore this rates highly. It has everything you would want from a shoujo manga turned film, which is where the plot originates from; romance, comedy and tragedy.

The plot centers around Nana-san, a young girl who falls for the popular boy at school who is dealing with his painful past. I enjoyed watching the main characters fall in love and find each other despite all the hardships they face around them over the years. And yes, I am a sucker for a love triangle however within the two films they use it to process the plot and make the plot move forward, which is always a good thing to see as it doesn’t allow for the films to drag on.

I would have rated the plot higher however I wasn’t a fan of the separation of the main protagonists or the idea of Yuri. Yuri’s character has the role of being a hurdle for out main couple and yes I understand she is in love with Yano and forcing him to be with you was because of her loneliness, however what baffles me is Yano allowing her to become such an issue for his budding relationship with Nana.

The plot of the films follow closely to the manga and anime and for that it is also rated highly in my list. If you like romance with a hint of sadness trailed throughout the story. This film is for you! Also it’s nice to see a continuation for those who finished the anime and were left wanting to see more.

Acting- The acting. What can I say. The main characters are two of my favorite actors out there in Japan. Toma Ikuta and Yuriko Yoshitaka. Both of which I adore individually and follow anything they are in. When i got wind of the fact they were playing a romantic pairing, I was on cloud 9. This does not mean I will be biased within my review but its good to know that two great actors were chosen for a popular story/manga pairing.

Toma Ikuta is a fabulous actor. He can steal the scene for any role he plays, even in minor roles such as within Hana Yori Dango or as a second lead in Hana Kimi. He brings such a majestic air to each character he plays, so it was no surprise he was chosen as the eye catching, youthful role of Yano.

Yuriko Yoshitaka, stunning beautiful and adorably cute all at the same time, is another perfect fit for the sweet, innocent yet honest role of Nana. She is an actress who I always anticipate her next role. The scenes in which she portrays heartbreak seem so genuine and heart wrenching to watch. It makes her perfect for this particular plot as it is underlined with sadness .

Now for the main question. Do they work well together? The answer is undoubtedly yes! Their chemistry oozes off the screen and they fit perfectly within their roles, it makes the love story believable. It’s important for any pair within a film to match otherwise it wouldn’t be interesting to watch and not even a good plot could save that. So all in all. The actors throughout the film do a decent job but as always Toma and Yuriko come out on top.

OST-4|10

The OST is sweet and fits int well with the story. Childlike, innocent with a hint of sadness. I really enjoy the OST however I couldn’t rate the OST any highter as there wasn’t a particular song throughout the films nor a song that can be associated with the film. Overall, sweet typical OST you’d find in most films.

Rating-9|10

I personally loved the films. Both were great and tugged at my heartstrings. Being a fan of the anime/manga, I was happy with how the films turned out and extremely happy with the casting. I would definitely recommend this two part film for anyone who appreciates a good plot with more twists than a typical high school romance.
