neng, pilih deh ikan yang mana
I'm so into JDorama and KDrama lately and I have been so much time in watching some series randomly and I found some of them are good and others are not so good, that I've regretly decided to hold it before finish it. Now, after put some reviews about film, I decide to put review about JDorama and it will be Sekai Ichi Muzukashii Koi. Yes, that dorama, the one with Satoshi Ohno in it. Well, aren't you excited? Because I am! 💃💃💃 I adore his acting in Kagi no Kakatta Heya and Maou; and I know for sure he will do a great job within the dorama. Aside him, the opposite lead character, Haru is not a bad one. I know her from Grasshopper and albeit, she just appear in the screen for some time, I'm impressed on how she can use her 'little' part to gain great impact for the other characters in Grasshopper. There are also some supporting actors and actress that always be my favorite, two of them are Eiko Koike and Kazuki Kitamura. They are superb and I never doubt their skills in acting. Thus, I find myself tempted in watching this dorama, even though I haven't spent much time in watching office romance dorama.
apaan.....apaan.....apaan......
cup cup wau wau
It begins with the story of a 34-year-old man named Samejima Reiji (Satoshi Ohno). He is the director of a first-class hotel. He is famous, handsome, rich, but, he is single; he have never succeeded in having relationship with woman. It's all thanks to his had personality. He have done several omiai with women of his criteria, but they all rejected him after meeting him for the first time, whereas Reiji urged himself to find a fiancee as soon as possible. His urge is caused by his rival in the business, Wada Hideo (Kazuki Kitamura). Wada is the president of the top hotel in Japan and he likes to tease Samejima. One day, Wada teased Samejima because he is single and Samejima decided that he has to a fiancee in the next Hotel Association Party. His pledge then brought him to meet Shibayama Misaki (Haru), a new worker in his hotel. He soon find himself attracted to her. However, his journey to get Shibayama's heart is not easy to do. Samejima has no experience in courting a girl and Shibayama is pretty much an airheaded girl. He got some supports from people around him, including his personal assistant, Muraoki Maiko (Eiko Koike), his driver, even from his rival, Wada. He gradually changed his eccentric personalities, only for Shibayama and Shibayama later understood that Samejima carried a special feeling. But, Shibayama does not think that a relationship between a boss and his underling is appropriate. That matter made Samejima broken and he almost give Shibayama up before got some encouragement from people around him. And now, what will he do to win Shibayama's heart? and will she accept Samejima's feeling? You people need to find the answer by yourself.
i love thiiiiiiiiiiis scene
Now, it;s time for my opinion and this is seriously a good drama. Well, romance is the most mainstream genre in dorama but, this one is a bit different than any romance dorama that I've watched (I admit that I only watched several romance dorama, lol 😄😄😄😄). The story is well-built and the characters had its own interesting past. While I feel that Samejima is quite a bit tsundere, but somehow Ohno can make its own version of tsundere. It's pretty different when I compared it with MatsuJun's version in HYD. I feel like Ohno's version is cuter because he portrayed Samejima as a childish person, but he cannot show it in front of Shibayama and put a brave and wise front. Somehow, I can feel how hard and difficult for him to change himself, to be the person who can show his love sincerely to the one that he loved. Well, this is really 'Sekai Ichi Muzukashii Koi' because I can see how hard Samejima's struggle in getting closer to Shibayama. He forced himself to drink milk, Shibayama's favorite drink albeit he didn't like it. He named his upcoming restaurant after the name that has been prepared by Shibayama; and many others. His struggle is amusing, though it's heart-wrecking in some points. There are also a story between Muraoki and Wada, that Wada confessed his love to her. However, Muraoki seemed hesitate to accept his feeling because she didn't want to betray his boss by having a relationship with his rival. Another story is about some quirky Samejima's underlings and their hidden agenda to make Samejima and Shibayama dating, so that Samejima will be in a good mood all the time. I really enjoy my time watching the dorama and I have no complaint in spending my time. I hope there will be another dorama with this interesting premise. I really love this 'Isanami-Suyao' and 'Isanami-Shiho' couple. Maybe I should search for another dorama which is written by Shigeki Kaneko. Well, I'm so excited!
The only reason why the Devil can win because of the negligence of the good guys
(Nam Hee-Joo)
Director: Mo Hong-Jin
Screenwriter: Mo Hong-Jin
Cast: Shim Eun-Kyung, Yoon Je-Moon, Kim Sung-Oh
Runtime: 108 minutes
Origin: South Korea
Synopsis: After 15 years, a young Nam Hee-Joo have to deal with the killer of her father
awas lho kalo ngga nonton!
I watched the movie after saw Shim
Eun-Kyung’s performance in Miss Granny and
it’s quite intriguing to see her in suspense-thriller movie. Yes, despite of
the title which suited for a romance movie, this one categorizes as a thriller one.
Thus, I spent no time in finding information about the movie and decided to
watch it in the near moment. Well, I find it quite shocking because the movie
is released in the early moment of 2016. This movie is definitely out of my
radar! Whereas, I’ll always try to spend some time for finding some Korean
thriller movies (you see, I favor Korean thriller movies). Plus, the cast of
the movie is quite good, with Shim Eun Kyung as the lead actress; I’m expecting
the movie will be a good one.
enak juga lantai dikoranin
The first scene of the movie is taken
place in a court. A perpetrator named Kim Gi-Beom (Kim Sung-Oh) had his 15-year-imprisonment
sentence as the result of his wrongdoing. Yet, the sentence was not the one
that the families of the victims want and all of them were complaining about
how unfair the result was. In the midst of the rage of the families’ victims,
there was a -young little girl named Nam Hee-Joo (Han Seo-Jin) who saw the
scene before her eyes in silence. She couldn’t say anything and didn’t know
what to do, except to flee from the court room. Later, it was explained that
Nam Hee-Joo was the family of the victim as her dad was killed by the offender.
Because of the murder, she began to live in solitary with the support of her
dad’s subordinates whom were policemen. She started to work in police office as
a janitor while the policemen gave her a great care, including Detective
Dae-Young (Yoon Je-Moon) and Section Chief Ban (Kim Won-Hae) who knew Hee-Joo’s
father a lot and wanted to give Kim Gi-Beom a great punishment. Eventually, Kim
Gi-Beom was out from the prison and ready to come back to the society. Yet, the
moment he came out from the society, there were some people murdered, rather in
the similar method as 15 years ago. The strange thing was the policemen already
had their eyes to Kim Gi-Beom right after he came out from the prison and they didn’t
find any proof if he was the one who committed the crime in this moment. Then,
who was the real murderer? And how Nam Hee-Joo (Shim Eun-Kyung) dealt with her
life when she knew Kim Gi-Beom was out from the prison?
tadinya kupikir ini film 'the Machinist'
As usual, Korean thriller movie usually
begins with a tragedy. This movie has the similar opening as many other movies
with the story of the lead character that loses her father due to unfortunate
circumstance. This fact leads to the complicated life of the lead character as
well-depicted by Shim Eun-Kyung. She lived alone, quite absorbed by Nietzsche’s
thought about the good and the bad guy, and secretly investigated about the
murder that Kim Gi-Beom did 15 years ago. Oddly, the movie is reminded me of I Saw the Devil which the lead character
had an intention to do revenge by himself. Yet, I also find it different
because Missing You is rather
melancholic than I Saw the Devil because
the movie is described from different perspective, it’s a movie of a young girl
who’d lost her father. The bittersweet life which is led by Nam Hee-Joo
sometimes seemed childish in its own way. On the other side, I can say that the
movie is like Monster without any
comical expression. It’s definitely darker and gloomier than Monster! Personally, I’m gonna say that
the movie might be unoriginal in theme but, the plot is quite good. It’s
confusing for the first glance (yes, I find some things that are better
explained; but, they aren’t) but, the moment it progressed, it becomes an
interesting development. Thumbs up to the final scene of Nam Hee-Joo and Kim Gi-Beom
because it is…impressive and it definitely captures the sadness of a little
girl who’d missed her parents. Last words, Missing
You is a movie that you don’t want to be missed.
Synopsis: A boy magically changed the lives of a father and a mother who lost their son.
jadi gini lho, kakak....
Lagi, sebuah film horor thriler dari
Mike Flanagan dan the bonus part is Jacob
Tremblay is on the movie. Tau kan, anak kecil yang sempet bikin geger di Room karena aktingnya yang bikin
beberapa orang terharu dan nangis bombay cuman gara-gara dia mau potong
rambutnya (lol). Nah, disini dia kembali adu akting, bukan dengan Brie Larson,
tapi dengan mbak Blue Surfer Kate
Bosworth. Dilihat dari posternya sih, pasti bakalan ada kupu-kupunya di film
ini. Sebelumnya, aku sempet liat trailer
film ini juga sih dan dugaanku sih film ini akan lebih daripada film horor
thriler, ada bumbu drama-dramanya dikit pastinya. Nah, aku coba kupas film ini
sebelum sharing my opinion about it.
yuk neng, dah dateng tuh
Diawali dengan sebuah ketegangan seorang
laki-laki, film ini dari awalnya sudah mengungkapkan sebuah kegetiran yang
menunjukkan seorang ayah yang harus mengambil keputusan berat menyangkut nyawa
seorang anak. Kemudian, cerita berlanjut dengan sepasang suami istri Hobsen,
Mark (Thomas Jane) dan Jessie (Kate Bosworth) yang berniat untuk mengadopsi
seorang anak dan seorang pekerja sosial, Natalie (Annabeth Gish) memilihkan Cody
(Jacob Tremblay) sebagai anak asuhan mereka. Datanglah Cody ke keluarga
barunya, lalu sedikit demi sedikit terungkap alasan kenapa pasangan tersebut
mengadopsi Cody dimana mereka berharap Cody bisa menjadi pengganti anak mereka
yang sudah meninggal. Semuanya berjalan sangat baik sampai di titik ketika
pasangan suami istri ini mengetahui sebuah kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh Cody.
Kemampuan yang membuat Jessie terlena karena dia bisa bertemu kembali dengan
anaknya yang telah meninggal, Sean (Antonio Romero). Namun, berbeda dengan
Jessie, Mark tidak melihat kemampuan Cody tersebut sebagai sesuatu yang harus
dimanfaatkan. Lama kelamaan terdapat sedikit cekcok antara Mark dan Jessie,
tanpa mereka ketahui kalau kemampuan Cody ini datang dengan sesuatu yang
mengerikan. Nah, apakah Mark dan Jessie berhasil menghadapi hal yang mengerikan
tersebut dan bagaimana dengan nasib Cody sesudahnya?
ealah, kok apik kie...
Bisa dibilang, aku suka dengan film ini.
Ada beberapa detil kecil yang membuatku bisa membayangkan keterpurukan
emosional yang dimiliki karakter Mark dan Jessie, begitupun dengan sikap innocent yang ditunjukkan oleh Jacob
Tremblay sebagai anak kecil yatim piatu yang memiliki masa kecil dimana dia
harus berpindah-pindah dari satu orang asuh ke orang tua lainnya. Belum lagi
visual cantik di sepanjang film yang digambarkan dengan sekumpulan kupu-kupu
berwarna-warni. Mungkin bagi orang-orang yang tidak menyukai kupu-kupu, adegan
ini bisa jadi sebuah adegan yang menyiksa tapi bagi orang-orang yang mengakui
kupu-kupu sebagai makhluk cantik, adegan ini bisa dibilang…..magical. Bayangkan saja di salah satu
ruangan rumahmu, ada banyak kupu-kupu yang terbang dan mengelilingimu. Well,
sebagai sebuah film horor, film ini malahan tidak menampilkan sesuatu yang
menyeramkan, tapi sedikit dramatis. Aku ingat, salah satu temenku menyebut
kalau film ini sama sekali tidak menyeramkan. Aku setuju sih dengan pendapatnya
karena film ini sama tidak membuatku takut. Hanya saja, film ini memberikan
sesuatu yang lebih dengan adanya kesan bahwa hubungan antara Ibu dan anak
adalah sesuatu yang kuat. In a way, aku berpikir kalau film ini seperti Room dengan adanya sedikit bumbu misteri
disana dan disini. Akhir kata, film ini surprisingly cukup menarik untuk
ditonton, apalagi dengan chemistry yang
baik antar para pemain membuat film ini tidak sekedar menjadi film horor yang
bikin deg-degan.
Waktu film ini mau rilis, banyak banget yang bilang kalau film ini tentang adiknya "Annabelle" which makes me laugh. Come on, mentang-mentang film ini sama-sama tentang boneka, langsung disama-samain sama "Annabelle". Tapi, ya karena banyak yang bilang kayak gitu juga, aku jadi penasaran sama film ini. Belum lagi, film ini dibintangi sama Lauren Cohan yang memerankan Maggie di TWD. Oh, baiklah kalau begitu, aku jadinya lumayan sedikit penasaran sama film ini.
A portrait of Hershel, Heelshire family
Film yang disutradai oleh William Brent Bell (i love his Stay Alive) ini ngga berbeda jauh sama film-filmnya sebelumnya, film horor. Yang bikin istimewa, katanya nih, filmnya tentang boneka (samaan kayak The Conjuring) dan karena Lauren Cohen itu. Tapi, apa bener yak kalau film ini sebegitu istimewanya? Well, let's see! Film ini tentang seorang perempuan bernama Greta yang nerima kerjaan sebagai seorang pengasuh demi ngehindarin mantannya dia yang abusive. Nah, dari sini kita tahu, kalau Greta sudah punya masalah tersendiri sebelum dia datang ke rumah keluarga Heelshire (lol, Hershel, Heelshire, ini sengaja apa ngga yak?). Terus betapa kagetnya dia, waktu ngerti kalau dia ternyata harus mengasuh sebuah boneka (whut, seriously?). Awalnya sih dia ngerasa aneh aja kalau dia harus bener-bener ngasuh boneka itu sesuai dengan apa yang diminta Mrs. Heelshire karena dia yakin seratus persen kalau boneka tersebut can't feel a thing, jadi buat apa dia ngurusin tu boneka. Tapi, apakah emang kayak gitu? si boneka beneran ngga ngerasain apapun? Nah, disini deh tensionnya mulai naik sedikit demi sedikit.
The real Brahms whom reminded me of The Omen boy
Kalau buatku sih, ide cerita dari film ini sedikit klise. Seorang pengasuh yang disuruh ngasuh sebuah boneka. Kayaknya aku pernah tahu kalau ada cerita yang mirip-mirip kayak gini. Ada sebuah boneka yang dapetin harta warisan paling gede dan mau ngga mau, anggota keluarga yang aslinya punya hubungan darah dengan si pewaris, harus rela-relain ngurus tu boneka, supaya bisa dapet bagian. Aku lupa judulnya, tapi adalah. Nah, film ini kurang lebih kayak gitu. Si boneka laki-laki keluarga Heelshire ini bisa dibilang tergolong kaya dan pasangan Heelshire sendiri percaya kalau boneka ini adalah anak laki-laki mereka. Makanya boneka ini diperlakukan seperti anak mereka sendiri. Dan, somehow, boneka ini bisa nunjukkin kalau dia emang anak laki-laki pasangan Heelshire walaupun wujudnya adalah seorang boneka.
Greta began to believe that Brahms' alive
Buat beberapa orang sih, film ini ngga bagus, medioker lah. Tapi, buatku, film ini lumayan entertaining. Keanehan-keanehan yang ditunjukkan oleh boneka ini ternyata bukan satu-satunya hal yang bikin The Boy ini menarik buat ditonton. There's more than that and it's kinda worthy to be waited. Cuman ya beberapa orang sih bilang kalau konsep yang ditawarkan itu kurang fantastis, eksekusinya kurang menggebrak, dll tapi ya buatku, cukup lah. Ngga sia-sia mantengin film ini sampe akhir. Oiya, surprisingly, film ini kolaborasi American-Chinese production lho.
