A glimpse of a couple's not-so-perfect love and their perfect breakup story

I started this film because I loved Carlo Aquino's acting in "Isa Pa With Feelings" and YouTube recommended me this, so why not! As I love contemporary stories filled with angst, quarrel, love, tears and realistic approach to life, this movie just fits well in the catagory.

In the beginning I wasn't sure whether to keep watching this or not but I did eventually and I don't regret that. To me the character Pia was not relatable at all but yes I came across people like her so I started putting her into a "mould" and was in favour with Nix. But from the mid of the movie my heart started to empathize with Pia and her character was so prominent and strong that she just won me over. She one independent, liberal, an honest person who loves with all her heart, mind and soul. On the other hand Nix is a simple, sweet, and caring person. He doesn't understand the complexity of character, just accepts as they are, which was his biggest issue. He's scared to love again because he still dwells on his past. When these two people met and fell in love, the insecurities got the best out of them. Going back and forth between the present and past made them forget about the future of their relationship.

What I liked about this movie was how realistic these two characters were. Like I felt I was peeking out of my balcony and watching daily life of these two on the opposite appartment. Their chemistry was out of the world. I swear the snuggle Nix gave to Pia was the most lovely and warmest ever!!! I could feel the warmth of the relationship from the screen. They both tried their hardest to cope up with their insecurities and move on but probably the honesty and sincerity wasn't enough to retain the the weightage of their love.

You're hearing, I'm deaf. We're different... Then I'll be deaf for you.

This is truly a wonderful movie!

I waited so long to watch this as it was not available for the international audience until two weeks ago when they released it on YouTube.

From the beginning to till the end you are going to feel a lot of things that you have never felt before. Because if I be honest I would say we, who can both hear and talk can never truly feel what a deaf/mute/ mute & deaf person really feels. We can try to understand but its far from being felt like one. The mature people can decode the silence but when that silence becomes your life then it's hard to understand spoken words. Which is why this film excels in portraying the message clear and loud. They made you feel those complicated emotions with silence and stares.

Now the most important thing that holds everything together is the leads acting and their insane chemistry. Oh my my I could feel the love from the screen! From hesitant gaze to slow stare I fell in love with the characters. Their chemistry was chemistring >.<

The OSTs and the music just hits the spot! I can definitely listen to them all day. They're so melodious and meaningful. From the trailer it's the first thing that made me want to watch the movie.

This movie is highly recommended if you want to let go of stress and those pent up emotions, then this is for you. It has fluff, a bit comedy, romance and a door to the wall of silence.

After finishing the movie now I can understand why is it named "One More Time. With Feelings"!

What is being motherly or fatherly feel, when the roles are reversed!

I started this drama just out of curiosity. But never expected it to leave a unimaginable message to the world. It's new, fresh and endearing journey of a man being a parent and his environment to his acceptance.

If you feel grossed about the idea of a man being pregnant, then definitely you should watch this. The story is not perfect but VERY realistic in the sense of humanity. It's a lifetime visual experience in this world where prejudice prevails and we let it happen intentionally. FYI- in this drama he's neither gay nor a transgender. Rest is upto your curiosity (˘ᵕ˘)

A Must watch!

I'll still be questioning myself if he's the mother or father of the child by definition. Amazing!

She's an enigma, she finds it difficult to understand.

Enigma= Dope series! 🔥

Win's appearance made this more enchanting and mesmerizing. Oth Prim is definitely one of the brightest actor of GMMTV! She's small in appearance but her presence was vividly trenchant. I'm rooting for her future.

Before this series I had very little idea of Win's capability of acting because Together series didn't met my expectations, but But after Enigma I became a fan of Win.

Just because it was a 4 episode series that doesn't mean it lack depth, they gave depth and purpose of the characters just the right amount. The visual, the suspence, the noir vibe made this series exceptionally remarkable and outstanding which will leave you wanting more.

Each memory has a soundtrack of its own. It takes 1 song to bring back 1000 of memories.

First love hatsukoi is a poem that you can read over and over again but still won't get bored. A love story full of heart breaks, mistakes and tragic turns.

I watched it in the past and now I came here again after rewatching this, made me realise that how many times I watch this, I'll cry the same. This story makes you feel nostalgic, happy and sad all at once.

Actors did their job very well. Music is good. Overall quite overwhelming. Cinematography was beautiful. Found a extremely delicious looking dish Napolitan, I have to make that for sure!

P.S.- Don't forget to bring tissues. You'll need that.

"You know Jonathan, if you add your marks with mine, we make a perfect 100!" said Shane

What a lovely movie!

I started watching this very randomly because I was bored and outside it was gloomy dark weather, somehow I ended up watching this movie. It's hard to explain in words how beautiful the whole story, cast, the acting and the cinematography was. It's an unspoken feeling that will linger on your mind for couple of days.

Teenage love is hard, beautiful and full of inexperienced unknown emotions which wa portrayed that pragmatically as possible. Love and friendship intertwined and presented longing, belonging and finally founding peace with one's own mind, which is the most exhausting journey in the world. Shane is longing for a lifelong friendship from Jonathan and he is bottling up his love for Shane.

What I loved about this movie is that they will not show you your pre-assumed happy ending but something more than that. The background music is very soothing, it just blends into the theme so well that it creates a nostalgic earthy aura around it.

Highly recommendable and it's better to watch it alone, so that you can feel the characters like I did.

But one spoiler, don't expect "happy ending". It's not your normal fluffy BL but a LGBTQ themed queer awakening movie.

The cinematography made me feel like I'm watching my sweetest dream in 1280p!

Before this, I watched Unintentional Love Story and was disappointed with the mediocre storyline; I only watched for the second leads. But seeing their own story get portrayed this skilfully warmed my heart.
 
To be honest, this storyline is also very common; I could literally predict what's going to happen, but I couldn't let go because of the beautiful, aesthetic, mesmerising cinematography! I was watching a series, but I felt like I was reading a poem. Although after all these interactions we still didn't get our answer. It's definitely complicated.
 
The best part of the series is its short yet resourceful runtime, and there weren't any annoying side characters to waste time on doing dumb shit. 
 
If you're looking for something wholesome and cinematographically pleasing, then this one is perfect for you! It wasn't anything phenomenal or groundbreaking but a quick fix sweet candy to uplift your mood.

Mindlessly Funny With No Cliffhangers!!!

THIS story is a pure mess with lots of flaws but I still watch it.
WHY?
because I would rather watch something stupid and funny than CRINGY romance. you don't have to feel guilty watching cringy storylines just because you like the ML or FL. it's mindlessly funny and full of chaos with no cliffhangers 😹😹😹

the characters are VERY bad at dancing that's what makes it more funny. and stripping skills? undoubtedly hilarious. they tried but I'm sorry they're actors not dancers 😹

if you are tired don't want to pain your brain just watch this, your brain will come back to it's initial stage lol 😹

Good luck!

I went to find love but I didn't know how and where to find this "love" in this big city.

But, do I know what "love" is?
 
This is a story of a flawed person finding love and happiness in things that motivates him to write an award winning novel.
 
After a long time I had invested myself in something that makes me "think" of the consequences of the choices I make. It touched my heart in every episode as it felt like I was watching a person live through their ups and downs infront of my eyes.
 
✓What I appreciated:
 
• I loved how flawed, raw and realistic each and every character was. While watching them I was sure I know such people who would act this way.
• Supportive friends that everyone deserves! They were with him in thick and thin. Their bond was unbreakable!
• The pacing of the storyline was perfectly synced with characters. Each and every character was given equal importance to show their potential.
• Nam Yoon Su is the perfect cast this story can get! He made Go Young alive!
• This story shows, life is not a fairytale as you see in the kdramas. Sometimes it's fulfilling; sometimes you're barely making it through the day. You cry, fight, and curse your destiny, but you don't give up; you live on, even if this big, cold city fails you a hundred times.
• I can't believe how much power this story holds that a nation was trying to take this down.

✓Room for improvement:
 
• I was dying to know about Gyu. But the story didn't allow us to know more about him after his departure.
 
✓Thoughts on the ML:
 
Go Young didn't want to settle for normal and always wanted that "fluttering" feeling. That's why he's been reckless all his youth. He's looking for something he doesn't know. He wanted love, but when he got that, he overlooked that for something else he doesn't have. From my pov, he only loved one guy; others just made him "grow" in life. They were his mistakes and life lessons as well. When he said, "I want to cry, but I can't squeeze tears," I felt that. I swear I'm not a crybaby, but up until episode 4, I couldn't stop tearing up. But after a while, just like ML, I got used to the sorrows.
 
Overall, it's a realistic queer story that will make you realise if you found love, then you're the luckiest person because someone in the world is still searching for that but hasn't found it yet.

When the one is back but is not the one who is used to be...

This is the story of a century-old man wating for his long-lost love to return before he dies. The problem arises when the indication of his reincarnated lady-love shows it's not a she but he. Will he die before finding the love for whom he waited for a century? Now it's for you to discover the truth.
 
Honestly, very honestly, I doubted the series. Not a big fan of lakorn but I wanted to give this a try. So I started this on a whim and I wanted to see one more episode of how the story would unfold. AND to my surprise, I was hooked! I'm glad I didn't watch while it was airing because if I had, then I would have lost my mind waiting for next episodes.
 
Not everything is perfect. Things were a little cringey, awkward, and childish, but entertaining AF! There wasn't a second I felt bored. The chemistry of DaoOffroad is just the cherry on top. And I have to confess, Offroad's eye smile has become my weak point. "Having a bad day?" Just look at the picture of Offroad laughing; your worries will fade in the air like *poof*. 
 
What I liked:
-compelling storytelling 
-No bullshit time waste 
- smooth like butter chemistry of the leads
-The suspense it builds from the beginning and the way they had me seated till the last minute is commendable. 
- most importantly, the VFX was top-notch! It wasn't sloppy at all but well balanced and visually appealing. 
 
What I didn't like:
- calling your 1/3rd-aged man great-great grandfather 24 times an episode, was awkward AF. 
- it was cringey at times, so I face palmed myself quite a few times ngl.
- fighting scenes could be better, but as he was a master of martial arts, I expected a clean-cut action scene
 
Overall, it was a great watch. I can see myself rewatching this not because of the thrill but for the leads chemistry, as it was swoonworthy.
