Blurb: “I’m not really into ghost stories.. But the ending had a good moment when everyone was calling out. The ghost girl is really cute.. but nothing about this anime series caught my heart. Good thing it was only 11 episodes.. or else this anime really would had dragged on.”

Blurb: “The only thing I didn’t like about this movie was the lame girl with the dragonfly wings. The Red Teleporter is much more bad ass than X-2′s Nightcrawler. Xavier has a really cool house. If I had a mutant power, I’d want to be Hiro Nakamura but with infinite supply of mana.”

Blurb: “Trendiest and biggest Korean BBQ buffet ever. There’s a wine tasting dispenser which is really cool, slide credit card and taste dozens of different types of wine. It’s a great place for group of 4~6. It’s loud and festive. They blast KPOP music and project K MVs on the walls. The ventilation system is really nice. Everyone wears really interesting uniforms. The service is actually good for the size of the place, it’s just really busy so the food comes slower than I like it.”

Blurb: “My first complete Asian drama, so this sets the bar for all future Asian dramas. I got sucked into this series, stayed up until 4~5am in the morning couple times x_x. Perfect amount of episodes, 13 of them.. If anymore episodes, this would had caused me to quit my work and live inside the drama. I loved everything about it.. especially the character development, screenplay, and the music <3 "
