Review: Secrets In The Hot Spring (切小金家的旅館)

I really enjoyed this film a lot as well. I had zero expectations going into the film and it brought me so much laughter. In fact, I watched this in a cinema on a weekend and there were less than ten people in the theatre. I was pretty convinced it would be bad… but I ended up loving it. The key to enjoying this movie is to not take it too seriously and you will find that it does bring you a lot of joy 🙂

Xiao Jin is a 20 year old delinquent high schooler who gets a call from his grandparents and returns to the old family spa hotel with his friends, Lu Qun and Little Princess, only to find out that the hotel is haunted.

Review:

Taiwan seems to be on a roll for “youth films” with films like Boyfriend, GirlfriendYou’re The Apple of My Eye and Our Times that every time I see a “youth movie” from Taiwan I’m almost tempted to lap it up. Of course, I’ve experienced many, MANY disappointments where I cringed at another dumb slapstick classroom humour and shallow characters dangling their legs as while looking out into the far off horizon.

[Translation] Quotes from drama, Back In Time

9

Happy Valentines, my lovely readers! Would like to share some quotes from one of the most beautiful drama I have watched. (And no, it’s not a BL even though the cover photo seems misleading.) It wasn’t the best drama but it was one that touched me deeply. Maybe not every love has a happy ending, but it is in the bittersweet that we grow.

It provided me with quite a bit of insights and a lot of amusement. So I picked some of my favourite comments that I either found really funny or agreed with to translate. Enjoy!

Asian Entertainment Streaming Updates – August 14, 2017

Yes, I’m back to drama watching! Just gonna reblog this post so I can pick an on-going kdrama to watch and remind myself to watch The King’s Woman. (As for novel translation… I’m sorry but you might have to wait a bit more…)

I know. I didn’t do any updates last week because I was on vacation. The first half of the week was spending time with my sister’s family and dealing with horribly sluggish internet. The second half I was watching and recapping dramas which I hope to continue on a more regular basis. Don’t expect any simulcast recaps from me for awhile. I won’t apologize for that. It can be really hard sometimes.

Okay, so let’s get on to the new releases in anime, Asian dramas, and Asian movies. YouTube updates to come when I have the time (I’m going back down to my sister’s again this weekend…sigh).
