What's a recipe for a comedy? A group of detectives working undercover at the chicken stall and having to perfect the fried chicken recipe? Sure, why not? That was what I thought when I first watched the trailer for Extreme Job 극한직업 with my grandma at the cinema during the trailers before a movie started. The Chinese title 鸡不可失 is even more memorable as it plays on the idiom 机不可失 (meaning an opportunity not to be missed) but changing 机 to 鸡, which means chicken. This certainly relates directly to the movie's main plot. Despite not being able to read 100% of the  subtitles, my grandma's laughter made me decide to bring her to watch this movie. I certainly (die-die must watch this movie or in other words) could not miss this. The Good Content - Unique story plot: Plots revolving around detectives going undercover are relatively common. But opening a fried chicken stall? I think not.      - Comedic moments which funny trigger points people can relat...

My very first manga that made me binge read about 70 to 80 chapters over a few days at one go? That is Sensei Kunshu センセイ君主! I was extremely excited to watch Sensei Kunshu (My Teacher, My Love), the film adapted from the manga with the same title. I don't think it's that popular or famous because I only found 12 chapters in English online and had to find the rest of the chapters in Korean on another website. I came to know about it as it's the manga I read fully after watching the movie trailer last year. I watched the trailer because Twice's song "I Want You Back" was featured inside!! The Good - Very very funny moments, especially Ayuha/Samarun's funny facial expressions which make her very dorky. My mother and friends commented that Ayuha looked weird in long hair and when she changed to a short bob haircut one and a half years later, she looked like a completely different person. She looks so much better and has a totally different vibe with short ...

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 ...

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...
