Series Spree

After few "buhsan and serious" entry, i will post something much lighter. People tend to get boring over serious and buhsan thingy. So, better give it a break for a while.

Lately, i been so hooked up with my uTorrent. i had been downloading like crazy horse for the past 4 weeks and i start to lose control over my bed time. At certain point, i used to be once in UTP; staying over night just to finish watching series. After some self-reflection, thank GOD i managed to get grip over myself back. If not, i might screwed up my future.

So, here's the list of series and dorama i been downloading and watching for past 4 weeks. Call me crazy but i just love watching dorama and series:

Series:

House Season 3 (Episode 1 - 8) - still running - rating: 10/10

Comment:
As usual, House giving me the best humor of all. House already manage to overcome his disablities (after the shot incident). He's had been in kematine coma treatment to cure his limb. This season's cases much interesting with much more twist. I really keen to watch this series. And frankly speak, this series is the only one i'm really watching from end to end, and rerun for thousand times.

Heroes Season 1 (Episode 1 - 6) - still running - rating: 8/10

Comment:
This new series quite interesting but i only managed to watch 3 episode only. Not for after dinner cause i tend to get boring with this series. A bit slow pace, just like PB. Currently, the plot is quite nice. Currently available until episode 11 (as per time this entry written). For people don't have internet but have Astro, you might want to wait for January since Astro gonna broadcast this series by January next year.

Dorama:

Only You
(Episode 1 - 16) - Complete episode, 4 episode waiting for download - rating: 7/10

Comment:
This is korean dorama so the plot varies a little. Love story bout a cook and a millionare heir whose lack his mother's love. They meet in Vicenza when the lady want to find that heir's mom in order to learn pasta recipe. End up, both lady and heir felt in love and sleep together and then they go each other way. The lady have an offspring from his relationship with the heir but the heir never knew bout it. They meet back after 6 years and love blooming back between them. But things never gone easy. Seriously, i love the actress. She's so damn cute. You might want to browse the link given to read more bout the cast members. I accidentally (what a word) watching this dorama at 8TV and it's haunting me to watch it all over again.

Attention Please (Episode 1 - 11) - Complete - rating: 8/10

Comment:
I must thank Amar Yusof for introducing me to this dorama. I'm watching this dorama in one-go. I stayed up all night to finish watching this dorama. 'Luckily', the day after that i need to go to office and after not getting any sleep at all the night before (not to mention i just get back from my hometown after Raya Celebration), i nearly collapsed in LRT due to diziness. hahaha. This dorama bout a punk rock vocalist who going for flight attendant course cause her crush said that he love to see women in flight attendant uniform. How pervert. Naively, she's going to the course with a reputation as a bad girl with Yankee style. She's transform to be polite, soft-spoken flight attendant with lots of hurdle. The ending is obvious but the transformation and twist still make me stay for whole night to finish this. Btw, Aya Ueto is the main role so you could imagine how funny this dorama turn out to be.

Hana Yori Dango I (Episode 1 - 9) - Complete - rating: 8/10

Comment:
I never watch Meteor Garden but i love this series. Japanese style Meteor Garden really give me something i miss since i last watching Gokusen. It's really nice to watch rude girl/lady fighting over proud boy/man. It's just both side is damn stubborn and lots of thing happened along the way. A really funny series with fashion spree shows in this movie. For Jun and Shun fans, this is a must watch series. They really cool in Gokusen, this series they performed much better. The story is about a poor girl enter into elite richy bitchy high school. This school have 4 super-power-richy-heirs who rules the school using their own terms. So, tragedies happened and the girl get Red Note (declaration of war) from the 4 heirs (they called themselves F4 which stands for flower 4). And high school puppy love get into picture. Nice series that make me laugh alot. owh..they have season 2 for this dorama, so just wait and see the end of Tsukushi and Domyouji relationship. :)

Dragon Zakura (Episode 1 - 11) - Complete - rating: 9/10

Comment:
This dorama is about a lawyer who once race gang member trying to find out his way out from his poor life. He got an assignment to close down a private school due to financial crisis but he's going other way round by promise to save the school by making 5 student that year to enter Todai (Tokyo University); the most prestigous university in Japan. The school is so damn bad cause since its establishment, the school never get their student to enter Todai and the average grade amongst the student are 34%. His methods is special cause he's tackling the difficulties in subject by teaching it in fun way. This series reminds me of Gokusen but much better than that. He's saving both attitude and grade of those student. Btw, the main role plays by Abe Hiroshi thus make this series a really fun to watch.

Last Christmas
(Episode 1 - 11) - Complete episode, 5 episode waiting for download - rating:7/10

Comment:
This dorama is just like '1 Litre of Tears' and 'A Song to the Sun'. A dying lady who meet a guy which love blooming between them. One solid reason to watch this dorama because Yada Akiko in there. I just love her cute face. After 2 episode, this dorama different from those sad dorama. At least, this dorama not really emphasize on the disease and death of the main character but instead how they living their life. I so hate sad love story which have dragging plot. Seriously, i can't stand it. This dorama is quite different and Yada Akiko's cute face make me love this movie much more.

Movies:

Nana - rating: 9/10

Comment:
At last, i managed to watch this movie. After thousand rumors fly towards my head, this movie deserved the hype. This movie brilliantly put by its director and writer. This movie sometimes make me confuse whether Nana and 'Hachi' Nana felt in love with each other. But at last i realize, true love between friends are much pure. I'm so moved by this movie. This movie is about a punk rock singer want to make appearance in Tokyo while she meet a girl who also going to Tokyo in order to live with her boyfriend. Fate make them meet together and live together. Along the journey, they pretty much have lots of commonality instead of their obvious difference in appearance. People that get connected by heart; that's the right thing to say bout this movie. Btw, this movie based on manga and also have anime series.

Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut Version
- rating: 10/10

Comment:
I watch this movie at cinema and watching it back never get me bored. I hate Orlando Bloom but this movie is nice to watch and he nailed the role. The director's cut version contain lot more scene that not available to public in cinema. This movie start as a good movie and end also as a good movie and scene that being cut make quite significant emotionally. The pace of this movie balance because the cinema version pace quite fast due to many emotional moment cut down. This movie definately worth lots and watching the director's cut version help me digest some misunderstanding along the way. One thing that i really impressed with this movie is it's script which written carefully and have lots of quote that moved your heart.
