Na xie nian, wo men yi qi zhui de nu hai
(2011)

Same experience over and over again
Watched this 10 years ago and cried, re-watched this again after 10 years and still cried. Will always be my favorite romance movie of all time.

I always like school-romance movie because of this movie. I've watched this movie over and over again, listened to the music over and over again, and still remember the feelings over and over again. I never knew what's so beautiful about this movie that makes it my favorite romance movie, I guess I just like the emotional roller coaster the movies takes me over and over again.

This movie might not be everyone, but if you are like me - someone that craves a realistic romance story during teenage times, go give it a try.

Imperfect: Karir, Cinta, & Timbangan
(2019)

Critics that also give you a good relief
How should I start reviewing this movie? I will first want you to think one thing, movies always have objective, either sending messages, pure entertainment, or combination of both. I won't say one of them is better than the other, since it always goes back to how every movie touches the heart of its viewers.

Plot is nearly perfect. Following the life of a woman that has insecurities because of her physical appearance, I believe many of us relate to the story. You will understand many things about having imperfect physical appearance. Love life, career, friendships, and everybody's perception.

Conflicts are great. I think this aspect is what I love the most. Director has detailed scenes showing the contrast of having perfect versus imperfect body since the very first beginning until end of the movie. Movie is clearly showing about the privilege you can get by simply being more beautiful.

Characters are rich. I have to point out about this movie having perfect portioning of giving life to its characters. Nobody is over or underexposed. Everybody is playing very important role and contributing well to drive the plot.

Dialogues are beautiful. Yes! Please keep this in mind before you watch the movie. It contains a lot of critics to our society, sometimes wrapped by good jokes.

Messages are powerful. I think this aspect is what really giving us the messages. I love about this movie is not only saying that we love to ourselves more (changing insecurities to gratefulness), but also to stop judging and defining beauty of other people. This movie is standing exactly in the middle of social issue, both victims and doers, trying its best to infuse great lessons that we, as both victims and doers, can do much better than what we are doing right now.

I have to give it 1 point less because it lacks a little bit of emotional development. Some good side stories are not fully used to bring up emotions even more. However, this should not stop you to watch this wonderful piece of Ernest and his team. Do give this a chance to watch it now, before this movie gets re-recognized in the future for its beauty.

Nanti kita cerita tentang hari ini
(2020)

One day we will talk about this movie
First thing first, I really tried to understand the hatreds towards this movie. It could be because of its hype, thus people putting the bar very high. Other than that, I am pretty sure you will not hate the movie.

Technical aspects are great! You can notice some beautiful shots, mesmerized by the colors, perfect music, duration is okay.

Additionally, I think we have to give special credit to its characters. Yes plot is solid (I am saying solid because it is not extraordinary), acting is also great. However, one of the reasons why the characters are perfect relies on the beauty of its dialogue. This is one thing that you need to know before watching the movie. Please take a good attention when there are some important dialogues. That way, you will then understand, this movie is sooo simple but also deep enough to touch your soul.

I believe this movie will relate to many of us in our 20s, the very first moments we are facing a lot of serious problems. If you are having difficult times in your life right now, especially relating to family issues, this movie might be the perfect cure for you.

Before Sunrise
(1995)

Be ready to fall in love in real life!
Maybe you are tired of reading this movie is about simplicity of emotions? Well, I can assure you, yes, it is that simple to enjoy good movies. And, we never really needed complexity to make a movie more interesting, didn't we?

Watching this movie will bring you to a very beautiful journey. Not because of its settings, pictures, fancy scenes, or anything. This movie will reflect your romance life and clear your eyes a little bit more to be able to appreciate your loved ones. It will make you realize that you can fall in love anytime, anywhere, anyhow, and to anyone. Not only this movie is simple, but also love in general.

So go ahead! Watch this movie and be ready to fall in love again to the people you are in love already.

Klaus
(2019)

See you in a better world!
Watching Klaus (2019), to me, is not necessarily a completely unique experience. There are sooo many good movies out there telling stories about magical christmas. However, there are still too many things that you will miss by not watching this movie.

I won't talk a lot about those things, but basically you will then understand kindness a little deeper than before. You will realize how doing kind things will not just benefit others, but also, it is even more for you.

This movie is great to watch with family (especially in christmas eve), with friends, or just simply by yourself. So please, give this movie a chance and see you in a better world!

Eung-dab-ha-ra 1988
(2015)

Your friend told you to watch this right?
I can't stress it enough that watching a piece that is so simple will be the one that touches your soul very closely.

If you are doubting whether you should watch this show or not because one of your friend suggested you to, TRUST THEM COMPLETELY.

I will tell you how your days will go after watching this show. First, you have to trust all the good reviews in the world and start watching. Second, you will enjoy this show starting from the first episode. Third, nobody will tell you to continue watching further, but you will anyway. Then after finishing this show, you thank your friend. Or should I say you will thank yourself because you chose to finish this show? Doesn't really matter.

I find at least 3 reasons why people are doubting this show.

First. "Isn't this show just like any other friendships movie/series?". Short answer, it's NOT. Don't get me wrong, any kind of good friendships film will definitely warm your heart, I always love friendships films. However, there are too many other treasures to talk about that you can find in this show. Role of moms, dads, admirers, crushes, dreams, siblings, fate, boys gang, girls gang, exes, education, morals, marriages. And why are they even important? Because you will then REALLY understand to be in other people's shoes.

Second. "There are not much going on in 1988, is this even relevant? Isn't this extremely boring?". Well, definitely you won't find any fancy things here. No fancy fiction things just like any other korean dramas, no major plot twist or whatsoever. My question is, why is that even a problem? Really you don't have to worry all of those questions. The show will still feel very close to us that you really want to be one of the characters. Unfortunately, rewatching the show again and again will be the only way you can make your dream come true.

Third. "I can guess the plot. There is one girl in those friendships, so it will just be triangle or rectangle love story, just like any others." Again. Please do yourself a favor not to worry these things. There are sooo many things that you can talk about rather than worrying if there is good romance aspects or not.

Last thing I want to remind you because you have arrived to this review. PLEASE. THANK. YOUR. FRIEND.

Better Call Saul
(2015)

Saul definitely deserves love too from Breaking Bad fans.
One thing that stopped me from watching this movie is because I knew this show has nothing to do with Walter White, the man that makes Breaking Bad, Breaking Bad. I believe most people also think the same.

Personally, after rewatching Breaking Bad few times, I have come to the conclusion that there is nobody in the show that I love from the beginning until the last second. What I like the most is the character development for all the important characters.

Then? What does it have to do with Better Call Saul? I believe I love this show as much as Breaking Bad because of the exact reason. I REALLY love how every character behaves and develops in this show. What more fascinating is, this show has everything you like from Breaking Bad. Tension, emotions, atmosphere, character flaws, good antagonists, you name it. One other similarity this show has, this show gets better when it is closer to the end. (I know, it has not ended yet) You really don't want to miss every second of it.

I can assure you, all Breaking Bad fans, your love to this show will be AT LEAST as big as your love to Breaking Bad. Easiest 10/10 after Breaking Bad.

Keluarga Cemara
(2018)

Will Not Fail to Touch Your Heart
I believe this is the kind of movie that will be remembered by some people (me at least) for months or even years, only because of its simplicity. The best thing about this movie, for me, is how they redefine what a family is, and how a family should be, through all the very strong conflicts. This movie will touch your soul and make you grateful for having family that is always be there when you need them. Best to watch this with your loved ones, because you may be having the same feeling and be crying together, and hopefully, make your family even warmer then ever.
