C-Drama “The Centimeter of Love” Not Winning Fans (I included this because of the comments)

The Centimeter of Love (Chinese Drama Review & Summary)-Global Granary






 

Watch on Youtube (read the comments of the viewers if you like)

There are minor spoilers below:

The above links say it all.  The saving grace of this series is the main couple/OTP, and they are the only reason why I was able to finish this series. Well, there are some likable characters, but most of the others made my blood boil. Grrrrrrr.  

Some viewers questioned the dramatic flying through volcanic ash and the pilot, our female lead, still looked so gorgeous, with her hair still fabulously in place, during the first episode. 

Then there's that medical malpractice/suspension of a great doctor who is also kind and generous.  I don't know if the rules are different in China(I don't think so, because I watched other dramas---so I checked...

LAW OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS), 

There's always a waiver before any operation, but since the said operation was rejected by other hospitals and doctors before that scheming person approached the mother, it was really bound to happen... death on the table.  The thing happened to the kind soul, Dr. Xu, because his mother couldn't accept his son's choice.  She wanted her son to accept her choice.  I don't know how Lan QiaoQiao/Lan XiaoXiao fooled his mother.  She witnessed what she did to the eldest son-in-law, but...Argh. Then there's that darn soup that caused the operation to fail.  Argh! (Come on guys, there's a reason why we have to follow certain instructions before going under the knife!). 


 Yes, I know we all want it to be as realistic as possible, but as far as TV dramas go, this series is realistic as realistic could be.  The problems are VERY relatable, and the people who claim to be victims are actually, as one commenter stated, the garbage of this series.

I almost dropped this myself, but I am glad I didn't.  The toxic people one-by-one, at least those that mattered to the OTP, learned their lessons.  How? If you have patience, just watch it up to the end.
Yes, maybe this is not for everyone, but for the OTP alone, this is worth watching.  I just felt my heart being wrenched when the doctor momentarily forgot he was suspended, but all's well that ends well, but not before all those travails and trials.  Thankfully, he is a sensible one, and thought of serving the people from away before being reinstated.

There were some heart-stopping events in South Africa(episodes 30 and 31)

...and the ending was soooo realistic that I cried and cried even when they said  加油 Jiā yóu! (literally Add oil!...an expression of encouragement like "you can do it!") with thumbs up! Maybe they wanted to keep up with the times.

#CoronaVirusAndFriendsGoAwayAndPleaseNeverReturn

I pray that this series would have a second season.  Please.  

I am praying for better times ahead.  We Asians are not Kung Flu.  We are not "the virus".


I love the background music!

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

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 ...
