Lovely, Sweet, I cried, I smiled. Beautiful

I don't know if it's the pacing, production, acting, music or that I just watched this at the right time but it was so sweet I cried. It put me in my feels more than once which is hard enough to do so I'm really impressed and happy with this movie.
It has a very nice context and a good character development on the protagonists. I love the supporting characters with all my heart because they are the sweetest souls.
It has little elements of everything, with a little bjt of action, little comedy, etc etc...... its all subtle but blended in together so nicely to creste such a beautiful atmosphere through out the movie. The pacing was so beautiful, a little drowned on the climax but in this story's case it felt like it didnt need too much of a climax anyways. The pacing from start to finish was my favorite kind of vibe. So its worth while. Consistency in the story is much appreciated.
I loved love loved the music especially because every track was directly suited and somewhat tailored for each and every scence a background song was played for. The atmosphere created by the music is immaculate and as a sucker for good music and a music nerd all in one such as myself my connection with the musical element was very strong here and it helped a lot to bring out the essence of the story as a whole. That being said it was technical enough for real musicians but put simply enough for the average Joe to be able to understand and relate to as well. A difficult thing to pull off be done so very well in this movie.
The acting itself is on a whole nother level and i just want to say bug round of applause to eavh character who could make you feel as if you were in the same room as them. For the acting there's not much j can say other than amazing, and the best way to really witness it is to watch it for yourself because its a movie element that cant say enough through mere words. You'll guaranteed fall in love with the characters.
Production team gets a full on medals for visuals and audio quality because gosh it was amazing i must say. Anthoer round of applause please. Great audio and visual mixing... something i greatly appreciate in anything that i watch because i do tend to be picky when it comes to production quality and i have a low tolerance for poor production quality, lol. But for this one i had a smile on my face the whole time. Amazing!

It was such a nice ending as well, I loved it.....i simply love it.

Beautifuly twisted psychological bowl of soup

I have no idea why this movie took so long to watch, lol. But all in all its twisted but i liked it. Its like a soup full of teen mental cases that dont work together but somehow do. Some of the presentations of ideas were actually surprising and the story was so not predictable so i can safely say that i wasn't disappointed. It shows you just how many issues go on in our heads and tells it as it is without any sugar coatings which i really appreciate. The director needs a medal simply put. Its twisted and very psychological so if youre looking for something that will make your brain do a doubke take this is for you.
The movie doesnt really have character developement but im thinking that was the point because majority of the characters are shown merely with the results of their own self absorbed toxicity and if there was any character development at all it was morr of a lesson to them all to chill the heck down especially for Konnanzaki. He had the most development and that was it. The rest of the characters merely move on with living, and it makes sense because no matter what trauma you go through when the sun goes down and comes back up you just keep living by default.
Its a very meaningful and deep psychological movie that im very sure can be relatable to anyone who wants to watvh this. In a sense in these messed up characters you can actually seen yourself or some of youyour own habits in these characters.

Sweet, soft and fluffy with major turns

So I watched HIStory 3: Make our days count, which by the way was really heart warming and sweet until they decided to break me on the last step...right in the last gosh darn episode, which left me bloody devastated i must say. Overall I loved the story, except the sad ending, that was quite traumatizing for me.
Rating for this one for me is 8/10, literally -1 for the ultimate sadness dumped at the ending which I feel didn't give me as a viewer enough time to not only enjoy their newly found happiness but it also didnt give enough time to mourn or see enough of the changes Xiang Hao Ting went through which I think had the potential of adding more depth into the story, despite its devastating twist. Also -1 because I literally was able to predict what most of the major events were going to be and as much as I hate to admit it I saw the death coming at the end of the 9th episode as much as i didn'twant it to.
But nonetheless if you are looking for a sweet story which will leave a hole in your heart this one is it. A great story for when you want a story to cry your eyes out, but personally i hate sad endings which is why i did not give much of a rewatch value, i would only come back to it when i want something to cry about .
I like the series overally; not too many out of the blue surprise scenarios and a really down to earth romance.
I'm definitely a major fan of the HIStory series and i really enjoy watching them. And with make our days count i think they just went the extra mile making its title quite literal.
I hate and love this series. I love it for its story and beloved characters but really hated the ending so that made it lose a lot of points with me.
Let me just end this with i really did like it, but tragedy is certainky not my cup of tea.

balanace of sweet, steamy and emotional well done.

I watched this series before and i rewatched it again to review it, this is what i think...
This is written in sequence to how i was watching it.... yes im the one who watched while taking notes and making comments. Lol.....
Anywhooo on to the review .....
Starting off with a classic case of "I'm afraid you're gonna hate me" the other goes "Hate you?! How many times should i say I don't. Fine I'm gonna love you!"
Antagonists (Tin) show up like the avengers. Literally like "Antagonism ! Assemble!"
The tension is killing me, it's perfect. Super drawing and intense. Overwhelming sweet that you cant get enough of.
Like how assddkfklskslsldjksla.
Bath montage is nothing short of amazing showing a wholesome bond and relationship between Ae and Pete.
Ep7 let me just say Ae gives the best kabedon I've ever seen!!!!!!
I love how Can and Ae can throw a freaking punch its amazing and well executed, even the emotion behind it.
I love Pete's mom, she is just the sweetest soul supporter of her son like (^-^)
I love Tins Characters development, it keeps the arrogant snobbiness but makes him change from an antagonist to a protagonist (Bad turned good) without breaking his character's core. Tin is the most emotinally honest charater in this whole series. Props to him for that.
When Can said "one more time please" amd for that moment opened up to Tin it was GLORIOUS!!!!
Been going on about so many charaters except for Tar and Tum because i feel their story is quite disconnected from the main one a lot, that'sthe down side and why i I wouldn't give it a full 10. I feel like its just an add on and not necessarily needed for the main plot so it seemed out of place. Would've suggested they make a separate series focused on Tar and Tum (which i think they did if I'm not mistaken) and just focused on the main plot. Unlike Tin and Can's story they (Tar and Tum) don't really have an strong connection with the main plot so it's standing out of place like a sore thumb.
I don't know what to say about Kal and Oh i honestly think it was an all too simple take advantage taken out of someone and the subject of the joke doesn't even mind cause he's hella dense so everything was left hanging like that so I've literally got nothing to say cause it just felt so left in the air, connected but disconnected to the main plot. But still more more connected than Tar and Tum who decided to be dealing with experience and trauma in a series based on confusion and first love.
I don't like how Tin and Can ended up because i was really hoping for a good eneding between them. I was hopeful for them. Why producer, do you not give them a happy ending. I hope to see them in season 2 and i hope its a different situation this time and they can actually progress with their relationship. As for Ae and Pete i have no complaints.
All in all the series was a mix of sweet, steamy and emotional all well balanced and wrapped into one.
A series well done.♡♡♡
