House of Memory

Whenever I get the feeling of watching something again, there's always a tinge of uncertainty that comes along the same moment. Like last month, I felt like I had been a bum for wandering up aimlessly on Netflix for almost some time. I was literally doing nothing but scrolling here and there on the platform and always ended up lost in the long run of searching. I was not exactly planning to consume another Korean drama series since I already did it with One Spring Night   which I never intended but just so happened that it was followed not long after then by Once in a Summer . I actually considered the thought of exploring some other Asian films especially a Taiwanese film, however, I could not find any among the bunch that could match my mood well at that time of drought.  Basically, I was like on a trial-and-error phase for days. This could also mean that for days I was sleeping my worries away for hardly settling on something to watch. I was not sure if I was just extra picky at

Last night, I watched Once in a Summer . I had no expectations as soon as I started watching it. I had not heard this film before from anyone I know of, that’s why I might be just right on a comfortable spot.   Since the preview of this film was not available on Netflix and I was too lazy to search it on YouTube , I just jumped at it right away.

The characters that opened the film were nowhere to be seen as soon as the story progressed, they had their fair share of moments especially with Byung-Hun but I think they have not had any meaningful exchanges of conversation.  I was looking for his perspective, possibly wi

I finished watching One Spring Night three days ago. And earlier today, while having my breakfast with a cup of coffee, I remembered it again. One Spring Night Official Trailer I started watching this series maybe around late November last year. However, after some time, midway through it, I decided to stop. I could not really tell exactly how long did I took the break, not until during last Christmas Eve when I resumed watching its next three episodes…only for me to stop once again. Weirdly enough, I did not feel like it’s been ages whenever I continue watching it again from where I left it off the last time; however, it does not always mean that I jump at it right away. Sometimes, I have to re-watch the whole thing from the beginning until I could finally take it in and recall what’s going on in the current episode. With One Spring Night , I was having an inner conflict with my conscience. I was not sure if I would push through it because I did not have the energy to finish the w
