Checking out a few Japanese dramas this season because you know I love variety. Up first is The Mysterious Thief Yamaneko. I first came because I saw Hiroki Narimiya name in the cast list and then the synopsis caught my attention – about a thief who robs the rich for the poor? Sounds like an …

Movie Date with Kap (32): The Snow White Murder Case
Wow. What a though-provoking movie. It’s not about romance, superpowers, or horror. It is a social commentary, addressing the power and manipulation of social media and internet bullying. The medium used in the film is the big blue bird most of us have – Twitter. Many use it to tweet about their daily life, others …
The Last Cinderella: Episode 4 “Candid Conversations.”
A much better episode, in that we have many genuine character interactions and less teeny-popper Sakura pining after Hiroto.

I want it to be different but it’s been hanging in that safe zone up til now. Regardless …
The Last Cinderella: Episode 2 “Never know until you try.”
Not a lot of action happens in this episode because our girl is hovering between 2 options. 1) She could try and date the younger guy or 2) Stay away from the ‘child’. She does make a decision by the end of episode 2, thanks to the encouragement of many. As for the whole drama, …
The Last Cinderella: Episode 1 “Oyaji-gal is here!”
Our Cinderella is not your typical beautiful flower cast to the side of the road by her selfish, greedy relatives. As a matter of fact, we aren’t introduced to her family at all (yay!). Stressed-out by the naysayers, she’s literally harvesting a beard, comparable to that of Justice Bao. Episode 1 is fast-paced and beautifully …
