| Iwase Ken and Yoshida Rei have been friends since elementary school. Ken, is obstinate and unskilled in love, but he fell long ago for the lively and cheerful, Rei. But Rei is about to get married to another man. While Ken and other friends from high-school attend the wedding ceremony, a fairy appears and sends Ken back in time, giving him a second chance to win the girl he loves. From dramawikiIt's cute, it was the 2nd Pi drama to make me cry (Code Blu being the 1st when he cries). I can't decide if it's ACTUALLY good or if I'm just fangirl but whatever, my ovaries approve of ep 2! ^________~ And I don't like any pairings but in ep 5 HE WAKES UP KISSING A GUY! | |

| This story follows a young man named Makoto who lives in Ikebukuro West Gate Park, an area known for youth delinquency and gangs. In fact, one of Makoto's best friends from high school, Takeshi, is the "king" or leader, of one such gang, called the G-Boys. Makoto is known for being tough and smart, and while trying to solve the mystery of a friend's death, he finds himself a somewhat unwilling helper in many mysteries and problems of IWGP inhabitants. All the while, gang tension is mounting between his best friend's gang (which Makoto refuses to join) and a new gang, the "Black Angels." From dramawikiStupid writers, why you hafta kill Pi? ;___________; I actually don't much like this. The ep after I sobbed, my subs.................stopped. I had NO DESIRE to look for more. It's gross. I'd actually have given up watching if I didn't have inscentive | |

| Four schoolboys find themselves the last virgins left at school. During the summer holidays, a girl they knew as children 11 years ago, moves back to the neighborhood. Despite their childhood attraction to her, they realize she is a mere shadow of the "princess" they all thought they knew. This story of summer - love, friendship, school, family, the hypocrisy of adults, complications of life, experience and failure is set in an everyday shopping district and shows the clumsiness of children who have developed a little later than their peers. It's a bright romantic comedy that both young and old can appreciate. From dramawikiThis drama shoulda been named Stupid Girls. And Yamapi, you don't hafta be horny around me, I'll clear it right up ^________~ *ahem* To stop Pi spazzing, it's funny xD It's 1 of my fav Pi dramas. It's cute too :3 Although Kenken's mum is a little TMI, like when she's telling them about when she lost her virginity xD | |

| There are three kinds of swindlers in the world. White Swindlers (Shirosagi) prey on the innocent to steal their money. Red Swindlers (Akasagi) manipulate people's emotions to cheat their money. And then there is the Black Swindler (Kurosagi), the most powerful of them all, because he only cons other swindlers. NEWS member Yamashita Tomohisa makes his silver screen leading man debut in the theatrical spin-off of his hit TV drama Kurosagi. Based on the manga by Natsuhara Takeshi, TBS crime suspense drama Kurosagi was aired to high ratings and audience buzz in 2006, once again confirming Yamashita's superstar status among the younger generation. Released in March 2008, the big screen adaptation sees Yamashita reprising his role as Kurosaki, a Robin Hood-like conman with a tragic past who is on a mission to rid the world of swindlers. This time he encounters his strongest rival yet, Ishigaki (Takenaka Naoto), whose elaborate corporation fraud scheme puts Japan on the brink of financial crisis. Other than the addition of popular and prolific actor Takenaka Naoto (Nodame Cantabile, Catch a Wave), the drama's major cast members all return for the film. Actress Horikita Maki (Always - Sunset on Third Street) reprises as the law student torn between her faith in the legal system and her feelings for Kurosaki, while acclaimed actor Aikawa Sho (Dead or Alive) continues his pursuit as the police inspector forever chasing the Black Swindler
From yesasia
I'm HORRIBLY biased >__< If it wasn't for Yamapi, I'd think it's ok. With him, it's my fav movie EVER! If you plan to watch, you hafta see the drama 1st

| Deu is a well mannered man; more so than J, the self-confident, messy Thai-Australian girl who's always ready to belt out a karaoke number no matter how late the hour. This makes Deu hate her, causing an ongoing quarrel that seems to get more serious everyday. Once, when J was brokenhearted, a gay friend gave her the telephone number of the radio DJ of a talk show called "The Lonely Wave". But it just so happens that the night J chooses to call him, Deu, usually the DJ's assistant, is filling in while the usual DJ is on leave. Deu's unpracticed jerky vocal delivery makes J think she's talking with a madman or a simpleton, so she begins talking dirty with the stand-in DJ, completely forgetting that her sex talk is being broadcast live on air to the nation. From imdbBeam's a good actor. It's pretty obv Deur and Jay are gunna end up together, but I wondered HOW. The phone sex is funny xD There's a sad moment but spoilers. There's a bit where Beam's topless but stupid photographers only show his back D: Ray's a BASTARD! I want the OST! | |

| Directed by 23-year-old Yin-jung Chen (AKA DJ Chen), FORMULA 17 puts a lighthearted, humorous spin on gay life in Taiwan, painting an idealized portrait that contains no mention of the difficulties associated with the gay community. Ponderous topics like AIDS, societal pressures, or coming-out issues are absent, and there are no women or straight people--only beautiful young men with hearts more or less made of gold. This candy-coated depiction comes off as a refreshing celebration of the simple joy of being young, gay, and in love. Tien is a 17-year-old country boy who has just arrived in Taipei to meet an internet friend he has been corresponding with. It soon becomes clear, however, that the prospective man of Tien's dreams--whose online handle is "Beast Man"--is only out for one thing, so Tien flees to a nightclub where his childhood friend, the flamboyant Yu, slings drinks with enthusiasm. Yu takes his naïve friend under his wing, scoffing at Tien's dogged insistence on waiting for love before he loses his virginity, and attempting to educate him in the ways of urban existence. Tien persists in his virtue, resisting the advances of a hunky plumber hired by Yu and his crew of queens for the purposes of deflowering the boy. Meanwhile, it seems Tien has caught the eye of the local playboy, Bai, whose reputation for loving and leaving is well-established. Tien is likewise drawn to Bai but is justly wary of his past, and the two enact a halting courtship fraught with misunderstanding that stems from Bai's fear of intimacy. The entirety of the film takes on the structure of a Greek comedy, complete with a chorus--Yu and his friends, who provide humorous commentary on the action--and a deux ex machina that pretty much saves the day. There is never any real doubt as to how this love story will end, but the pleasure of the story lies in the telling. From yesasiaThe guy who plays Bai's hot *points to icon* I think the director is a woman which is funny xD It's corny but good. Alan's funny. He reminds me of the 1 in NEWS I can't remember the name of but he left and you only see him in the NEWS Nippon PV | |

| Sumin is an orphan trying to balance work in a factory with study at art college and an evening job. One night a rich young businessman tries to proposition him during one of his driving jobs. They meet again the next day: it is during a round of redundancy cuts at the factory where Sumin refuses an attempt by a man (who is in fact the boss' son Jaemin) to save his job. Eventually Sumin is seduced into working as a male prostitute in an upmarket boy-brothel as Jaemin's obsession with him grows, leaving Jaemin helpless in the face of his overwhelming desire. This is a film of bold sexuality, where unexpected passion, desire and misunderstandings wreak havoc of an operatic intensity. From imdbIt was nice to see a gay movie by an actually gay director.The end's wierd o____O but it's a good film. I'm convinced the writer was a DBSK fan. Jaemin, Sumin and there's a guy who's Yoochun's DOUBLE! And coz of Meghan and Lou, this film'll never be the same xD | |

| Famous for his offbeat character in SBS's popular sitcom Soonpoong Clinic, veteran actor Oh Ji Myung makes his directorial debut with the black comedy Shit Up! (a.k.a. Non of Your Cheek !) about three aging gangsters seeking revenge on another gangster responsible for putting them in jail fifteen years ago. An unexpected turn of events puts them in the awkward situation of working as bodyguards for their enemy's young aspiring singer daughter and her boyfriend. Oh co-stars with two other seasoned television comics, Choi Bul Am ( She's On Duty) and Noh Joo Hyun ( Unhindered Highkick), along with Im Yoo Jin ( Haan), Lee Jin Sung ( He Was Cool), and Kim Jung Hoon ( Palace).

But when they find Dong Pal, they end up taking on a reluctant job as bodyguards for Dong Pal's daughter Eun Ji (Im Yoo Jin) and her boyfriend Myung Suk (Kim Jung Hoon).

| In the year 2014, Japan has collapsed economically and thus its people emigrated in large numbers and settled in other parts of the world. In a corner in Asia, there is a little street called Mallepa, a big melting pot where Asians such as Hongkongers, Taiwanese and Japanese live together. It was a place where people fought for order, food and freedom. It was there where Shou (Gackt), raised as an orphan and Kei (Hyde), who could live forever, met and became the best of friends. However, they were unable to escape from the fight for power involving gangs of different ethnicity on the street of Mallepa... From imdbI would watch this film once and think it wasn't a total waste of time but not obsessively if it weren't for Hyde. Gackt can't act for shit *shot* but Hyde's good. It's really sad ;__; but sad bits are spoilers. I'd say if you aint a fangirl, it's only good once | |
