An elderly woman (Na Moon Hee) regains her youthful appearance, changes her name and embarks on a quest for happiness. Director :  Hwang Dong-hyuk Featured song :  Raindrop Revised Romanization :  Susanghan gunyeo Adaptations :  Sweet 20  (2017),  Sweet 20  (2015),  Miss Granny  (2018) Writers(from imdb ): Dong-ik Shin Yoon-jeong Hong Hee-seon Dong Dong-hyuk Hwang ... (adaptation) Miss Granny 2014 The Filipino version is almost exactly the same as the South Korean version.  The songs are different, the fruits are different, but it is practically the same.  It's like watching the same musical two different nights, the same script, but with different actors. Both are equally beautiful.  Of course, nothing beats the original, but the Filipino version adds a little Filipino touch to the story.  There are many montages, and instead of a Fomentation House a...

Or if you read a book and love it, the effect is so different than that when sit b...

Image
The movie's tagline:  "The greatest luckiest love story ever told." A young gambler named Joma Labayen believes in lucky charms that would help him win big in casinos. He crosses paths with Diane who seems to bring him luck whenever they are close to each other. However, Diane refuses to believe that she has anything to do with this so called “life charm” at first but after a while, she eventually gave in to Joma’s wishes. As they grow closer together, they develop romantic feelings for each other, but this kind of closeness might ruin the luck they’ve been enjoying together. - Fandango Directed by: Dan Villegas  Category: Romance/Comedy/Drama Theme Song composed by: Rico Blanco Theme Song sung by: Zia Quizon in a nutshell: We did not imagine that we would find ourselves watching and enjoying this movie, but we did.   Stephanie Mayo described this movie as well-acted, but flimsy, and I somehow agree with her .  As a sister of "special" people,...

#WalangForever (2015)

Image
From: One Minute Movie Review: ‘#WalangForever’   Everybody has a story.  Even the most monstrous person in the world has at least one person who loves him or her.  We are all unique, but we all have similarities too.  Since we have cable/satellite feeds nowadays you would find out that people do undergo the same thing, one way or another. Mia and Ethan's story is not exactly new, but the way it was(is) told, acted and executed is(was/are/were) very beautiful and almost seamless, if not seamless.  I have described other stories as such too. I share Mia and Ethan's joys and pains.  I admire their friends and family.  Their friends and family truly care for them.  I also related to most parts of this story. Like one critic, I thought of comparing this movie to a Nicholas Sparks story, but like that same person, I agree, it's not.  The story was weaved well and became a beautiful comforter or duvet in the end. My dad's reaction w...
