Sunshine of My Life (2021) WeTV Chinese drama (with some comments about Love Scenery, an ongoing drama)

 Note: I was supposed to drop this because a lot of people did (plus I like HERE TO HEART more), but I decided to keep watching. I finally finished the 45th episode today, and I am glad I did. All's well that ends well, but I am requesting to the universe to whisper to those concerned that they would give Fang Xiaoyu( HONG YAO ) a spin-off. He deserves it. He needs to play the male lead one of these days.

I watched the whole series via  WeTV(VIP) .
You can also watch it via Rakuten Viki (but it's not available in the Philippines)  and KUKAN (also not available in the Philippines). 

(minor spoilers)
There were dragging parts, but the last few episodes were pretty exciting especially when Fang Qian, that "mysterious" sister of Fang Xiaoyu, returned, and her operation was successful. She turned out to be a lovable character. She was able to make Xiaoyu and Mingxuan to at least be civil to each other.  

During the last episodes, even if Xueling badmouths Mo Fei a lot, we learn that she really isn't bad, and she's not deprived of love, but the parents keep meddling. Heist.

I kept waiting for Mo Fei to remember that they met when they were young, and I thought they had forgotten about it. It turns out there was a special reason for not discussing it ever again after Tang MingXuan brought her to that special place. They did talk about The Little Prince a lot, but...

THINGS I LIKE:
Their valuing of their Chinese history, culture and heritage; MingXuan's love for Fei Fei; Xiaoyu's love for his sister (yes, he's seemingly unfair to Ming Xuan BEFORE, but...Anyway, I hope that handsome Hong Xiao would have lots of projects where he plays the ML), and the scenes in PARIS. It made me reminisce about my fond memories there. 

Wang Xuan
She plays the "mysterious" sister  of Fang Xiaoyu mentioned in the earlier episodes.  She appears before Xiaoyu in France, then requests him to bring her back to Shanghai. Honestly, compared to this photo she looks different in the series(as in like this is a wrong photo or something).  
I'm crushing on the guy who plays QianQian's doctor(the youngest and most handsome one, Dr. Xiao...
No worries... harmless only, hehehe) 

The business is side shown here is OK.  Not boring at all...well, I don't know if you'd agree with me, but I enjoyed the talks about business and fashion including stuff about batik, embroidery, ramie et cetera.

Oh, I love Xueling's outfits, and how elegant Mrs. You are.

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Bai Xiaoman(at least Qi Da loves her unconditionally... and she does have a redeeming factor) and her ex-boyfriend(well, he grows on you); meddling parents(Mingxuan's mother acts high and mighty, but I think she's nouveau riche through matrimony(implied only)---the nerve of her to look down on Mo Fei. I don't think she has any right to do so! I thought, since she knew Mo Fei's mom since Mingxuan was seven, she would have a change of heart, but...argh!); two-faced "friends" like Shen Jia Xi(she's worse than Bai Xiaoman because at least Bai Xiaoman never pretended to like Mo Fei---well, did she have a change of heart? Watch it to find out.), and many more. Oh, before I forget, I know I am not perfect, but she's the female lead that I just have to say(ask) this: Why is Mo Fei always "glistening" in a negative way? Doesn't anyone retouch her makeup? She's pretty, but it gets annoying because there are two handsome men who are in love with her.  Anyways, the makeup artists did her justice during her fashion show, and when she was wearing that beautiful red gown, but  her makeup is better in LOVE SCENERY ( I finished the 12th episode already )  where she is paired with that adorable young ML on PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER . Well, she's supposed to be a superstar, so... They have good chemistry, by the way (Lulu Xu and Lin Yi---in real life they only have less than a five-year age gap...I guess the age gap is the same  in the series because the first time they have crossed paths Liang Cheng was crying and was probably still studying) .

Anyways, I'm watching Love Scenery because of Hu Bing . If not for him, I don't think I would be interested in it, but I'm rooting for Mr. adorable! Even if his role is kind there, Mr. Adorable should really get the girl here, or else, a lot of young fans would have a revolution. Maybe the higher-ups are intending to pair Lulu Xu and Hu Bing one day, so they are checking if they have chemistry, but basing on the reaction of the viewers on WeTV, they are calling him grandpa(grandpa)...They loved the chemistry of Rosy Zhao with Lin Yu Shen even if they are calling him Sugar Daddy(LOL) in Dating in the Kitchen, but as for Hu Bing and Lulu Xu,  I guess because of his role, Ding Jia Yun, he was not so appealing to the audience of WeTV so they might think he should get off her case or something...well, maybe there's a good project for them somewhere out there someday.  I really hope and pray Hu Bing's role would NEVER be evil.  Pretty please!

Back to SOML...
Yup. As aforementioned, I almost dropped this drama(SOML), but I'm glad I continued watching. Thank you I am watching  Hello, Mr. Gu ,  and I watched  I Hear You , among others, before this one, or else I would also think that there are no rich Chinese mothers-in-law who would want their children to be happy.

VOLTES V LEGACY CINEMATIC experience

Both photos are from GMA 7 FAIR USE (above and below) I'm the one with the kind of skewed mask From Amazon Fair Use Super Electromagnetic Machine V It's about time to show the world that yes, the Filipinos can make world class phenomenal epic hits that we can be proud of, and so what if it's based on a Japanese Mecha Robot Anime series? I am quite sure that after this we can create our own, maybe after showing Mazinger Z, Daimos, and a whole lot more...  (🙏🙏🙏) Or maybe the other way around.  Make our own first then... 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡 There were lots of bashing coming from Filipinos when this was still on the drawing board. A lot of people could not fathom that the Philippines could produce something that could be compared to Transformers(also from TOEI Animation) or any Marvel MCU franchises. People were saying things like "paasa" "hype" "don't do it if you would just disappoint us" and lots of unmentionable things that are not worth our ti...

THE READER(2008) via NETFLIX

Image
It was the year 2009 when I first heard about this film, most probably during The Academy Awards or a little after that. My mom and dad watched it and loved it then, but I wasn't really interested in watching it. Well, during that time my movie experiences were limited to films my brother RJ could be interested in watching or things my movie buddies were interested in watching. At least that was what I knew then, none of them wanted to watch it... or maybe I didn't have the gall to ask. Now, more than ten years later, I found myself watching a movie about a man (played by RALPH FIENNES) about my age looking back on his teenage years (played by eighteen-year-old DAVID KROSS). Oh boy, what an experience he had. Or should I say experiences? A woman in her 30s seduces a young boy of fifteen. Her foreplay was, if one could call it that, was making the lad dig coal so that when he was done with it, she would run a bath then... well, their affair would begin. Why is it called THE RE...

Bu Iste Bir Yalnizlik(literal translation: This is a Solicity) A.K.A. WAY OF LONELINESS or THERE IS A LONELINESS IN IT-2013

Image
  SOURCE Directed by  Ketche Writing Credits  (in alphabetical order)    Burak Göral ... (screenplay) Burak Göral Tuna Kiremitçi ... (novel) CAST from youtube : Mehmet ( Engin Altan Düzyatan ), who played in a rock band a few years ago, is a lonely man who divorced his wife and left music. The only thing that connects her to life is her daughter Ezgi, whom she can see once a week. Mehmet has been living in the same apartment with his friends Ayşe ( Özgü Namal ) and his wife for years. One night, there was a violent fight between Ayşe and her husband and his wife left the house. Mehmet knocks on Ayşe's door to learn the situation. The fates of Mehmet and Ayşe have changed after that second. I'll keep this short and simple: This is a very enjoyable movie, at least for me. I love the little girl who plays Ezgi(Merve Ates) and of course, I love the lead actor, even if he's not my Turkish crush(it's Ozcan Deniz). I love how he depicted how Mehmet was struggling to ...
