Last Friends tackles issues that afflict the current generation. Michiru’s mother has brought a man back to their home and she is bullied at her workplace where she works as a beauty parlour assistant. She starts cohabiting with her boyfriend, a good young man who works at the Child Welfare Division and the only person who can give her emotional support, but ends up the victim of domestic violence and becomes fearful of love. The boyishly charming Ruka was a classmate of Michiru’s in junior high school. She has performed brilliantly as a motocross racer and aims to win the national championship, but as the story progresses, a deep worry that she can neither confide in her parents or close friends grows evident. Takeru is a hair and makeup artist acquainted with Ruka. He is a good confidant to females due to his kindness and perceptiveness, and finds himself attracted to Ruka but has a phobia of sex as a result of a past trauma. The three of them become house mates and through their associations with others, gain the capacity to be positive about life.

But what happens when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?

a 2003-released typical korean movie.. i think this is one of those that most teen-agers and young adults like to watch, a movie with a romantic comedy theme.. its funny although the storyline is commonly used in a lot of asian movies/drama.. not bad, it can still entertain the watchers!

                    puzzle

Synopsis:

a 30 year old woman, Misako Ayukawa, is an English teacher with ironically poor English skills. She values herself over her students, and money over love. She displays arrogance in front of her students, but acts pleasantly around her peers and family. However, Ayukawa possesses a brilliant mind for solving puzzles. She ends up tackling various cases around the school along with 3 of her top students.

so far so good.. i’m not yet done watching all the episodes since it was just produced recently and video uploads are not yet complete, i guess.. but this one has a really different plot compared to any other asian movies/drama, definitely not a typical storyline.. trick and trick and trick! the mysteries and riddles were really mind twister, it takes a genius to understand it all.. haha.. still looking forward to watch all the episodes..

sad movie

Synopsis:

The film focuses on the stories about four relationships and their trials, pains, heartaches, and subsequent separations. The plot lines eventually connect in some way, but they remain unrelated for the most part.

The passionate fire fighter, 30 years old, tries to propose to his lover but every time he misses the chance. In the meantime, she becomes anxious whenever she hears a siren.

Suk-hyeon intends to break up with her jobless lover, Ha-seok, and he begins an agency that helps other lovers to break up.

Juyeong is mad at her son’s troubles in school, but she realizes that she has little time to spend with him.

Su-eun, with a hearing impairment and a burn on her face, falls in her first love but she doesn’t have the courage to come out in his presence.

4 different stories packed in one movie.. though its a bit confusing story line because of the cut-and-continue-the-other-story way of scene organization, but over all, not bad, its good, very touching esp. the mother-son story.. all stories ended as how the title says, a sad movie indeed!
