[Drama Review] Walk With Me 谢谢你出现在我的行程里- A Local Youthful Drama To Revive The Drama Scene

A local version of Reply 1994? Sounds promising, doesn't it? For the past few weeks, I've been addicted to the Channel 8 9pm drama 谢谢你出现在我的行程里 Walk With Me. The drama has a title that's quite a mouthful but I'm glad to say the content is quite full as well. 😛 The drama first attracted me with its strong and emotional theme song "再见 My Love" before the start of every episode, showcasing its highlights. THE GOOD PLOT  The plot is reminiscent to Reply 1994, where they had a boarding house and people from all over Korea came to stay over. In 谢谢, people from China, Taiwan and Malaysia came to Singapore to stay over at Yuxiu(played by Fann Wong)'s house. In the show, Yuxiu has a daughter, Jiaqi(played by He Yingying) who came back from studying in the UK. The best part is that we the audience can relate to the plot and though similar to Reply 1994, it's not a ripoff! Haha 😂 They incorporated elements that we can relate to, especially since many ...

[Movie Review] 一吻定情 Fall in Love at First Kiss- A Heart-Fluttering Movie I Recommend To My Friends

Image
It starts off with a kiss. What a sweet start right? But no. Then it goes downhill for Xiangqin, the female protagonist, as she is harshly rejected by Zhishu, the male protagonist that she crushes hard on after the accidental kiss. And somehow or another she moves in and stays with his family after becoming homeless. As dramatic as it sounds, it's actually a satisfying movie to watch! The Good PLOT The plot pace is okay as it's not draggy. As it focuses on romance, it has 4 kiss scenes. Seems excessive? Not really, they seem appropriate and are not just there to make up the number so that the movie matches up to its name hahaha. Other than funny scenes, there were many tearjerking moments, like when Xiangqin thought that Zhishu was gonna marry Shahui and gave him her blessings, because if you love someone, you would wish for him or her to be happy. There are also some values behind the movie to have your own purpose in life rather than just following what your parents ...

[Movie Review] When Ghost Meets Zombie 女鬼爱上尸- A Heartwarming Romantic Comedy

14 February 2019 Happy Valentine's Day! It was a 单独约会 solo date between my grandma and me and the cinema hall seats were more than half filled. Probably because 1. It's Valentine's Day so many couples came for a movie date. 2. It's the first day of the movie release! Not bad hahahaha very comedic!! XD Nathan Hartono's only line was "I Love You" because he acted as a zombie. The plot was quite interesting and the most touching part was when the zombie played Ferlyn's speech(she plays as Zhen Zhen) at Miss Singapura during his speech after winning Mr Perfect and said "I love you" on behalf of the Ferlyn to her mother, Fann Wong. I almost shed some tears at that part and heard some sniffs from the audience. The funniest parts were Gurmit Singh's parts and the goat's tears procurement part also garnered a lot of loud laughs from the audience. And of course, Nathan himself acting as the zombie. If you're planning to watch thi...
