how to use guys with secret tips | namja sayongseolmyungseo (korean) 2016

Assistant TV commercial director Choi Bo-Na (Lee Si-Young) is tasked with doing anything and everything at work. Due to working so many hours, her appearance is always a complete mess. Choi Bo-Na also hasn't dated in years.

One day, her company shoots a commercial on location at the beach. Famous actor Lee Seung-Jae (Oh Jung-Se) appears for the filming, but he immediately complains about the tall height of the woman he is shooting the commercial with. Because of this, the whole concept behind the commercial has to be changed. Choi Bo-Na complains about Lee Seung-Jae's attitude, which makes Lee Seung-Jae dislike her even more.

BV's review | interesting story plot. love the concept, romantic comedy genre. this kind of movie makes me not to skip any scenes. laugh and smile a lot. somehow, i wished the movie was longer. XD

heroine disqualified | no longer heroine | heroine shikkaku (japanese) 2015
Hatori Matsuzaki (Mirei Kiritani) is a female high school student. She has a crush on her childhood friend Rita Terasaka (Kento Yamazaki) and believes he will eventually choose her as her heroine, but Rita Terasaka begins dating Miho Adachi. Meanwhile, the most popular male student, Kosuke Hiromitsu (Kentaro Sakaguchi) takes an interest in Hatori Matsuzaki.

BV's review | if im not mistaken this story is from a manga. i loved school-life drama, but i kinda feel this movie must be like typical shoujo manga (manga for a girl). and yeah, i'm right. i love how funny the special effects (CGI) and how cute the heroine's personality. OMG fangirling over KENTO YAMAZAKIIIIIII, his Pokerface is on the new level. hahahahhaha and KENTAROOOOO, OMGGGGG such a fine ikemen (handsome guy). there are something i hate and i love about this movie. hmm. will watch it again since i skipped some scenes XD

flying colours | biri gyaru (japanese) 2015
Sayaka Kudo (Kasumi Arimura) is a 2nd grade high school student. She is a gal who wears miniskirts and has her hair dyed blonde. Even though she is a high school student, her actual academic grade level is on par with 4th grade elementary school students. During the summer, Sayaka attends a private institution (ala2 kelas tusyen gitu). There, she meets Teacher Tsubota. Besides her mother, Teacher Tsubota is the first adult to praise her. Sayaka begins to change. She studies hard and eventually passes an entrance exam for Keio University.

BV's review | oyaaa oyaaaa, i really loved this movie! based on true story. the story plot is about STUDYINGGGG and the stressed from studying with a little bit drama about life. i love how Tsubota Sensei teach his students. how he praised his students, and how he believed in sayaka. i think, they should make a special movie for Tsubota Sensei. XD and i really adore sayaka spirit to success. this movie is totally suitable for students whenever you feel like wanna give up in studying. WATCH IT!!!

because i love you (korean) 2017
Jin Lee-Hyung (Cha Tae-Hyun) is a talented songwriter. He happens to connect people who are not good in love by taking over someone's body. (because he was in coma after involved in car's accident)

Those include Lee Hyun-Kyung (Seo Hyun-Jin) who wants to become a singer, but she suffers from stage fright. Scully (Kim You-Jung) is a high school student. She helps Jin Lee-Hyung's spirit. Chan-Young (Lim Ju-Hwan) is a colleague of Jin Lee-Hyung and he likes Lee Hyun-Kyung, but in vain.

BV's review | another interesting story plot. i loved the movies. but something seems incomplete. i don't know what but something is missing. LOL. or it just me. but it is a good movie though. if you like comedy, love and drama. watch it.


chihayafuru kami no ku | part 1 (japanese) 2016

When Chihaya Ayase was in the 6th grade of elementary school, she met Arata Wataya. Arata Wataya transferred from Fukui Prefecture. Taichi Mashima was Chihaya Ayase’s friend since they were little. Arata got close to Chihaya and Taichi from the card game karuta.

Four years later, Chihaya is a high school student. Chihaya learns that Arata, who went back to Fukui Prefecture, doesn't play karuta  anymore. Believing they will meet Arata again, Chihaya and Taichi starts a karuta club at their high school.

BV's review | this is a really interesting movie. about Karuta (japanese's card game and poems). seriously interesting, never knew a game can be this serious. and, Fukui's accent are so cuteeeeee! (Arata is using fukui's accent and he such a ikemen too, totally my type. HAHAHHAHAHAH).

BV's review | same story plot but this part quite intense since Chihaya finally have a chance to meet her rival, Queen (Queen of Karuta). i can't wait for part 3. i don't know if they out yet XD
