another post on monkey reviews from the renown critic in thedelinquentone.blogspot.com, mr caleb poon! i shall be touching on 1 review each on every segments - anime, drama & movie.
anime.Nodame Cantabile (Japanese)
i caught hold of this anime when i saw the title. yes, cantabile, a music term which simply means songlike. and as what i expected, this anime is based on orchestry and music. this anime is rather similar to
La Corda d'Oro (LCdO) except that this was based solely on orchestras, while
LCdO has a bit of emphasis on bands.
i particularly love the lame-ness of the female character,
Noda Megumi who utters out meaningless words like "Gyabooo" and "Mukyaaa" randomly and also the love-hate relationship that the main characters have, which finally blossomed into a loving one. loved the mongoose (a costume that nodame wore) and the music too! <3
Caleb's Rating:
(3 monkeys /5)
drama.Nodame Cantabile Live Action (Japanese)
looking at how
honey and clover failing miserably in the remake into a drama, i never had high hopes for this drama. however, i'm glad that i decided to watch this in the end. although some of the lame stuff are still.. lame, most of them are cute and funny, which kinda gives the drama more depth in the comedy aspect. love the music, love the actors/actresses, love the acting and the storyline isn't boring even though i watched this drama right after finishing the anime - this is just a superb drama.
ohh, and the 2 special episodes after the drama series were amazing! why do i say that? because most OVAs that i've watched are boring and shitty, but, the storyline of this drama's OVA is just simply gratifying!
A Must Watch! for all music lovers <3 it's one of the best, or rather the best drama remake if you ask me =)

movie.Legend of the 7 Cutters (Korean)
i remember watching like 5 minutes of this movie during my poly days, when me and some of my friends were still crazy over the
Yoon Eun Hye (Goong - a.k.a. Princess Hours) Fever. and since i didnt have a chance to watch the entire movie then, i decided to watch it now.
this movie was one of those lame ass romance movie with a bit of action. even though im a fan to cute lame-ness, i didn't really find the storyline appealing. so heres my verdict..
