The Crucible (2011)
The crucible (English title : Silenced) is the movie adaptation of a Korean novel that describes the true events that happened at a local school for impaired children in the city of Moojin. The Crucible describes the corruption that this school had. To put it bluntly, it is about child molestation and rape.
This is by far the saddest movie I’ve watch this...

The movie is very crude, full of mistery and big twist plots. It can be gruesome to watch but it is so endearing and interesting. It is truly a work of cinema art.
The film has been a...

Norwegian Wood (2010)
First off, I am a big Murakami fan. I read the book before watching the movie and I was glad to see it didn’t disappoint. This movie is flawless. Of course no movie will ever be as good as the book, but I was glad that I could feel the essence of what this amazing Murakami tale is about.
Every single character was true to the novel originals. Matsumaya Keinchi...

The story takes place in a hot summer and nine year old Masao has no one to play with, he finds an old photo of her mother with her address witten on it and...

The cast is terrific, with KAT-TUN’S Kame as the male lead.He plays Hiroto, a guy who had a rough life and has to care for his little brother and mother. Ayase Haruka as...

Coffee Prince will always be my favorite drama. It surpasssed the limits of story telling and denied to go with the usual drama plots that kdramas usually have. Thus, this drama is refreshing, sincere, and at the end I was truly touched.
The story is about Eun Chan (played by Yoon Eun Hye), a tomboy girl who has to care for her mother and youngest sister. Choi Han Kyul...
