My Lecturer, My Husband(2020)

Image
watch on WeTV watch on iFlix MY LECTURER, MY HUSBAND is an Indonesian RomCom that stars  Reza Rahadian as Sadewa Bentara Arya (Arya) and  Prilly Latuconsina  as Inggita Almira Arundati (Inggit) In Filipino inggit means envy, but I was so sure that's not what the name is in Indonesian so I tried searching for it, and thankfully I learned that it means encouragement. At the very least I guess she was named by her parents after the late former wife of President Sukarno, Inggit Garnasih, who was married to him, the great leader for Indonesian Independence, for twenty long years(1923-1943).  She died in 1984. What do I feel about the RomCom series? I did not expect to love this series, but I do.  I think the main characters have great chemistry. Prilly, the lady who plays Inggit, is not the typical leading lady, and I am very happy that they chose her to play the leading role.  She is beautiful and graceful(watch her pole dancing  during the ...

Also Known As:   Ni He Wo De Qing Cheng Shi Guang  ,  你和我的傾城時光  ,  You and Me in Time Source Halfway Point Review: Our Glamorous Time (2018) If you want a REAL review, just click the link above(It tackles the first 25 episodes or so).  I am just sending (some of) my thoughts to the universe. WATCH OUR GLAMOROUS TIME ON WeTV Zhao Li Ying/Zanilla Zhao is a very versatile actor/actress.  Although I am not certain, I think this is only second time I have seen her in a Chinese TV Drama, but I have already observed her chameleon like traits.   If in SHAN SHAN COMES TO EAT  ZLY plays a carefree spirit with child like innocence, here she plays Lin Qian or Qian Qian(Chen Chen) who is the opposite of Shan Shan.  Lin Qian is very bright and talented, but she's almost always a damsel in distress waiting for her knight/prince or Army Special Forces Major to save her.  Who could blame her? She was so blessed to have been rescued by him befo...
