Kakafukaka play by 1 and 2

 The times are a changin and now with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics underway JDramas finally have a place too go online. I had a blast with my mom bonding while we watched all the bright colors. The bright pink the actresses wore was so fun! My mom and I had a blast watching the show as the lead actresses and actor struggle too deal with the difficult situations she struggled with her social awkwardness around the bright and cheerful co-star was amusing too watch as the Kawaii pair who I'm so totes shipping is just starting their journey together as friends meanwhile her and her lover who will so totes I'm calling it now will backstab her down the road is ACTUALLY kind of cute but his acting is so awful at the start. I had a blast watching it with my mom. As her gay son I am so proud too have something Japanese too watch wih her in addition to KDramas. But no

The Big Bang Theory Season 8 Episodes 1-10 review

The Big Bang Theory Season 8 Episodes 1-10 Review

                This series has grown stale with time. It does not help that I am constantly squirming in my seat. It seems to be nothing but recycled ideas at this point. These ideas are not even just derived from other sources but from the show itself. Even the touching romances between the characters seem to be growing sour. The only other notable aspect of these episodes is Howards startling antipathy towards Stewart. If anything the cast grows nastier with each passing episode. With last season there was at the very least character development. This season seems to be just standard sitcom fare. In conclusion I would say this series is trying to the patience of even loyal fans.

The Big Bang Theory seasons 1-7 review

Seeing as I have not updated this blog in ages and father day has just passed. What better way to celebrate than with a review of something with absolutely nothing to do with any of that.

The Big Bang Theory Seasons 1-7 directed by Mark Cendrowski, produced by Chuck Lorre Productions  & Warner Bros. Television Review

Leonard and his friends went about their rather ordinary lives until a beautiful neighbor moves in across the hall. Penny winds up turning their lives upside down. Insanity ensues as their lives move forward.

In its earlier seasons, Big bang Theory is actually quite entertaining. That being said, as the shows goes on the cast becomes increasingly unlikeable and the story lines begin recycling elements from previous episodes. As of the end of season 7 the most likeable character is, ironically the most loathed by the other characters, Sheldon. Sheldon’s role in the series seems to be to act as deadpan comic relief.

The actor of Sheldon, Jim Parsons, seems to steal the show with an incredible performance. The other male leads occasionally do despicable things and come across as total hypocrites at times. I kind of wish the show followed the female leads more often as they are by far more entertaining than their male counterparts. It might be recommended to simply to watch the earlier seasons but there is far worse  fare out there if you choose watch it in its entirety.

Rating: 7/10

1000 Kisses Episodes 37-40 Review

                                 

It is becoming increasingly apparent that 1000 Kisses is a one trick pony. The novelty has long since worn off. The plot has effectively ground to a halt for several episodes and the series other main plot is retreading old territory dragging the series on. The show did not need to be the length that it is and it really seems to have no clue what to do anymore.

1000 Kisses started off as a fun guilty pleasure show and is a decent gateway drug to Korean dramas. However, its quality gradually decays over time to the point it starts to become a chore to watch. To be fair the series had a few interesting developments but these were in the form of subplots and were not even close to being as interesting as earlier developments. In conclusion, 1000 Kisses probably is not worth the commitment a 50+ hour series needs to be.

1000 Kisses Episodes 16-31 Review

1000 Kisses continues to be a guilty pleasure in this set of episodes. That being said the series starts to lose a little steam near the end of the set as the plot unravels predictably. Emotions run high yet at times the series begins to feel dull.

At this point beyond pre-existing plot threads there’s very little new content being injected into a series that desperately needs it. The length of the series is beginning to become a concern as the plot is beginning to feel stale. In conclusion, this set of episodes is simply decent as a whole. 1000 Kisses will need more if it wishes to maintain viewer interest in the remainder of its run.

1000 Kisses Episodes 11-15 Review

1000 Kisses begins to suffer from its glacial pacing in this set of episodes. At times the show can be interesting enough to watch. At others however, the protagonist’s wishy-washy nature starts to get on the viewer’s nerves.

The show continues to be decent quality in terms of production values, acting, etcetera. But it is starting to appears as if the writers have started to run low on ideas. The plot is moving at such a slow pace at this point that it’s actually moving backwards. In conclusion 1000 Kisses needs to step things up if it hopes to keep the viewer’s interest; especially since it runs for 50 episodes.

1000 Kisses Episodes 4-10 review

1000 Kisses Episodes 4-10 Directed by Yoon Jae Moon Review

See the first review of the series for the summary.

The plot finally starts moving in this set of episodes. The pacing near the end of this fragment of the series has quickened considerably. The production values are decent for the most part though there is the odd moment. The colorful cast of characters are particularly animated.

The acting has been solid thus far with the protagonist’s aunt and husband churning out stellar over the top performances. The show is very much a guilty pleasure that is highly addictive. One thing I am not sure I mentioned in the last review is the myriad of other plots transpiring on-screen. In the beginning it made the show difficult to follow but as time went on the pieces of the puzzle came together.  In conclusion, this chunk of episodes makes for a fun series which is easy to dig into.
