Yuri On Ice is my very first sports manga and I have to say that I quite enjoyed it. I wasn’t expecting to be as invested in the show as I was but this show had a way of pulling at the heart strings when it mattered. That could very well be because I am a former athlete and even though I competed in a different sport, I could relate to a lot of the feelings that the characters went through. Yuri On Ice focuses on three main characters, Yuri (age 23, from Japan), Yuri (age 15, from Russia; we will call him Yurio for the sake of confusion), and…

[The Stranded] Episode 7 – The Finale
So I finally finished this darn series and this was my face by the time the ending credits rolled, What frikken type of ending was that?? It seriously feels like the series was cut in half just to see how well it will do, then call the second half “season 2”. I FEEL BAMBOOZLED! I’VE BEEN SWINDLED! Thats’s 7 episodes of 45-50 minutes a piece of my life that I won’t get back! I had a feeling this series was going to end on a cliffhanger and boy was I right. I should have stopped after the first few episodes. In this episode, absolutely everything goes to shit. Everyone turns…

[The Stranded] Episode 6
Okay, so what… the actual… frik… I have absolutely noooooo idea what the heck is going on anymore in this show. The past five episodes have been eerie but still interesting. There is a mystery about this island that I was trying to solve; there’s moral grayness among all the characters; And lastly, I’m hopful these kids will get the heck off this darn island. However! Episode 6 took a wild turn and now this show is just freakin weird. Nothing makes sense anymore and absolutely nothing is tying together. It seems like the writers tried to pump up the thriller aspect of the show because creepy and strange things…

[Review] EN of Love – Love Mechanics
Love Mechanics is the second mini series to come out of the EN of Love universe. This story follows Mark and Vee. Mark is a young engineering student who is finally getting over being rejected by a guy that he liked, named Bar (from the first series). One night at the club, he gets so wasted that he thinks one of his engineering seniors named Vee is Bar and starts whining at him to please like him and kiss him. Vee tries to tell him that he is not Bar and that he should just get over Bar and move on. But Mark is too drunk to think straight and…

[Review] EN of Love – Tossara
I won’t lie, I had no idea what this show was before watching it. I didn’t read a single summary online nor did I pay attention to any reviews. But wow, I sure wish I had lol. What intrigued me the most about the EN of love series is that these were all actors that I had never seen before (or at least, I just didn’t recognize them), and that this was a three-part series of four episodes each, focusing on different couples. It was giving me HIStory vibes so I decided to give it a try. Tossara is the first of three mini series to come out of En…

[The Stranded] Episode 5
Ohhhhh boy. As if things couldn’t get any more intense than they already are. Sheesh, where do I even start? It’s the same people from the last episode getting screen time in this episode. So, I guess I will just write in the same format I did for my last review. Ice Ice is doing so much better now after his little “exorcism” from Nahm. He is helping build the boat and sail and hasn’t gone back to drinking and smoking. Probably because he is no longer trying to drown out hidden guilt and torment. He’s smiling and interacting with the other students. I wouldn’t say he actually has any…

[Theory of Love] Episode 3
So just like I feared, things between Third and Khai were too good to be true. Third is all moved in with Khai and they have become very comfortable. I mean, they are already close friends, but now that they live together they are pretty much acting just like a married couple. Khai buys all the stuff for the apartment while Third does all the cooking and cleaning. Super domestic and whatnot. I new something was up when Khai said he wasn’t going to date around anymore. I mentioned that he kinda put all the blame on the types of girls he was dating but completely ignored the fact that…

[Dark Blue Kiss] Episode 12 – The Finale
So I have finally come to the end of this roller coaster of a drama and I am soooo happy lol! It is safe to say that Dark Blue Kiss has been THEE drama to get my freakin blood pressure high and make me want to punch a wall lollll. Whew! The entirety of episode 12 was one big ball of fluff and it was a much needed reprieve after everything that went down in the past four episodes. Seriously, ever since the end of episode 7, it has just been one big, crazy, messy storm! But this is the episode where everything came together and I can finally breathe…

[Dark Blue Kiss] Episode 10 & 11
OOOOOMMMGGGG!!! YOU GUYYSSS. When I say things have gotten waaaayyyyy out of hand, yikes they have completely gone way too far! It’s killing me to even be writing this review right now instead of watching episode 12. I didn’t think I could get any more pissed off than I already was, but I was wrong about myself. Let’s get into this. Pete & Kao Pete and Kao are still in Struggle Bus City. Apparently some months have passed since the big blow up between them in the last episode and things are getting worse and worse. Well, not for Pete. Aside from being sad and missing Kao but still being…

[MV Review] TỰ TÂM & CANH BA
This. THIIIISSSSSS. Omg. I just absolutely have to give these music videos a round of applause. These two videos have got to be the most beautifully filmed music videos I have ever seen. Even though they are music videos, they can be watched like short films, and that is the reason why I have this review in my ‘movies’ section. It’s so hard to try and summarize what these two videos are about because soooo much happens in such a short period of time. There’s lying, deception, cheating, romance, lust, marriage, backstabbing, death, shamanism, and just…DRAMA! Omg the drama is so real. The story is broken up into two parts…
