Of all the people i met, i chased after you

I've been watching quite a number of shows recently...

1. sungkyunkwan scandal
I started this since a month ago?! But i have not finish it because i put it on hiatus for weeks already. The first few episodes were good. The middle was so-so. I only watched it because got one cute guy. Then i stopped at episode 16 and have not continue since. I dont plan to continue it anyway. The last few episodes are really draggy. So yup. Im gonna give up.


2. Gloomy Salad Days
The title bugs me. I initially thought that the title was Gloomy Saturdays because it sounds more logical... But what is Salad Days?! The show doesnt even feature any salads =.= In fact, the title and the show are waaaaaaay off. Anyway, because my friend says its good (maybe she's biased cause she's crazy over some of the actors in it) so i decided to trust her. Er, its a really slow-paced show. I mean, the story ideas are good but its seriously draggy. It was so boring that i stopped at episode 3. New record leh. And i dont think i will continue watching it anymore. Sorry XX, its too slow for me to take.



3. All My Love
Its supposedly a sitcom but its not that funny. I only watch it because of JoIn. Well, at least its not very slow-paced.



4. Breakout
One of Mediacorp's better shows. The beginning is really awesome. The characters are great with many back stories and stuff. However, i feel that its starting to get draggy. Hmm, i think i have the stamina to watch the whole show though. See how first (:
PS, while searching for the picture (which google does not have), i came across this forum discussing if Breakout should be rated R21. Ehhh, personally, i think no need R21 la. Though there are some scenes which are gruesome. Like forcefully extracting tooth and using fire extinguisher to hit someone. And there i heard that there is a naked sex scene? Hmm, not sure though.


5. How I Met Your Mother
Awesome show except that its very on-off for me. I can watch 5 episodes at one go and then stop for 2 weeks. Not that it is not good but because you dont have to watch every episode of a sitcom to know the plot, you know? Besides, most of the episodes are not linked so it doesnt matter if you forgot what happened on the previous episode.



6. Hell's Kitchen/Dating Game
Opps. I have totally forgotten them :/ Will watch it real soon because THEY ARE AWESOMEZXZXZ! Ok la, Dating Game not that epic cause its only exciting at the ending. Hell's Kitchen is exciting all the way :D



7. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
I only watched this because i heard that the live-action movie is coming soon. As usual, Japanese have great anime movies. Though the starting is quite boring, the ending has an unexpected twist. Plus it ended with "I'll be waiting for you"
NOOOOOOOOOO ): Japanese people always do this. The couples always never FOR SURE end up together. Like Spirited Away. Haku is supposedly freed from the agreement but we dont know if Chihiro and him ends up together. Liar Game too. ):




8. Spirited Away
I watched this once when i was young but i didnt really get the whole thing. I watched it for the visual stuff like the gods etc. I watched it again yesterday and it was still nice. Spirited Away is one show that even 10 or 20 years down the road, it will still be as good. After watching it, i went to wiki cause there were some parts which i didnt get. And i had a few revelations, lol. Btw, Japanese animes always have such great soundtracks! :D

From The Girl Who Leapt Through Time:


Aiya, i actually wanted to watch 5 cm per second because i heard it was one of the saddest animated movie from Japan. But its so hard to find videos ): Btw, dont ever watch dubbed versions. Its seriously terrible... especially when you compare to the original one.

And and, im all up if anyone wants to watch this upcoming movie!
