The Perks of Being A Wallflower

both movie and novel are fantastic. absolute masterpiece.

I found out the trailer of the movie long time ago, and people in the comment section said that the novel is superb. I really like the trailer until it made me tear-up. so I decided to read the book before I watch the movie. I was depressed because the bookstores in Jakarta didn't have them(now they have). so I read the ebook version. but in the end I bought it online. so my novel is from Sydney. I screamed like crazy when the book finally arrived at my house.

so here's the synopsis.

it's about a teen boy named Charlie who enter the high school. he wants to "participate", like trying to make friends, going to party, etc etc. he has some kind of mental illness because he has a bad memories about his aunt Helen. he become socially awkward and rarely make friends, and in the novel her sister calls him freak.  sadly in his first day at school he only make friend with his English teacher. luckily, he meets Sam and Patrick, step-bro and sis who are really nice to Charlie since the very start they met. around them, Charlie feels comfortable and can talk many think. it's because Sam and Patrick knowledge him as their friend, or maybe best friend.

with Sam and Patrick, Charlie experience many think that he never experienced before. like partying, dating, performing in the theater, taking some kind of drugs. he's participating.

so that is the synopsis, I know that I didn't really good at making synopsis.

so anyway, I really love the novel and also the movie. the novel was so beautifully written with those poetry words. and the movie is absolutely amazing.

when I read the novel, I already know the cast for the movie. so when I read the novel I pictured them in my imagination and they are perfect. it means my imagination meets the author imagination hahaha.

they are the perfect actors to play the characters. especially the three lead characters.

omg Logan Lerman plays Charlie is the most perfect thing in the world. it's not about his looks, but Lerman plays it perfect like how awkward Charlie is. the most incredible performance of Charlie is when Sam goes to college. his panicked acting is amazing. it is impossible to not want to hug him for the entire movie. I'd love to have a little brother like him.

and for Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, they are the definition of perfection. I really love Patrick character personally, he is really funny and eccentric, despite the fact that he is gay and have a sad experience. he's charming you know. and Sam, I know definitely know why Charlie falls for her. she's beautiful(Emma all the way!), she's smart, I mean the way she talk is really smart I don't know why, she's funny but also really mature. she's the only one who can make Charlie calm I think.

I also Nina Dobrev plays as Candace, Charlie's sister. too bad the pregnant scene in the novel isn't in the movie too.

to conclude, this movie/novel are really really great.

I really want to use this movie/novel as my thesis. it's tie between Juno btw hahaha.

you guys should read or watch it! worth your time!

Review: Nice Guy

I won't write a review if the drama is not good.

I'm sure that this is one of the best drama for this year. I'm so glad I've watch this. Never regret it even once.

before I start, I want you to know that this review is a bit spoiling, and please bare with my fail grammar.

so let's start.

this drama's genre is angsty, romance, money, friendship, and family.

the main conflict of this drama is about money, actually about a company named taesan.

the story start with Kang Maroo(Song Joongki) who is a doctor-wannabe and has a girlfriend named Jaehee who a bit older than him. he really loved Jaehee until one night Jaehee called him, cried, and asked him to help her. Jaehee accidentally killed a man who was trying to seduce her(if i'm not mistaken). then Maroo took the fault for her, because he loved her too much. Maroo is jailed for 5 years.

in those 5 years, Jaehee rarely come to see Maroo in jail, until finally she never come at all. It makes Maroo holds a grudge on her. He's not an innocent and nice guy like before. he becomes a playboy and barely has emotions.

until one day, Maroo is on the plane then there is this girl who is actually Eungi(Moon Chaewon) who currently really sick and collapse in the plane. because Maroo is experienced to be a doctor, he help her. however, it turns out to be Eungi is a step-daughter of Jaehee. Maroo is really shock to know this, that Jaehee already married to a rich director of Taesan company. and Eungi is the daughter.

the story continue with Maroo's mix feeling toward Jaehee. many conflicts happen that make Maroo finally decide to make Eungi as his tool to have a revenge to Jaehee.

fortunately, Eungi is really interested in Maroo. they both are finally dating. when dating Eungi, Maroo never forget to make Jaehee's life miserable.

however, there is a real feeling developed for Eungi. in order to not bring Eungi too far for his revenge plan, he then break up with her with a really mean reason. he said to Eungi that he actually loves Jaehee.

Eungi feels really betrayed and angry to Maroo. plus the fact that her father just passed away when she's with Maroo. then, she crashes her car into Maroo's car.

the story continue 2 years later. Eungi is missing and Jaehee take care of the company as the replacing director because the real director, who is Eungi, is missing in action.

actually, because of the accident Eungi is having a brain damage that make her forget everything, including how to spell and how to write. she only remembers Maroo, but not the memory. she only remember that back the she really loves Maroo.

knowing that Eungi is still alive, Maroo first is hesitating, but the deep feeling he has for Eungi make him want to help her to fight for Taesan, to take the director position again.

in this time being, Maroo's feeling toward Eungi is really developing. I really can see the different between before and after just by seeing the way Maroo looking at Eungi. the stare is really different, and I give a big applause for Joongki for that.

Maroo really loves Eungi that it finally make him afraid that Eungi will regain her memory about him, about the bad him.

I think I cannot go any further from this. it will be a really spoiler if I do that.

so,

will Eungi regain her memory? will Taesan company back to Eungi? and will Maroo and Eungi be together in the end?

watch it!

I tell you that the ending is really really good. you won't dissapointed.

BIG

for the past two months, I've been watching this Korean drama, titled "BIG"

I realllllllyyyyyyyyy love this drama. they have beautiful and unpredictable plot. I guess that's why I can't stop watching this drama.

let's start with the brief synopsis, shall we?

the story start with a high school teacher named Gil Daran. she's engaged with a doctor named Seo Yoonjae. they met because Yoonjae made Daran injured, by unintentionally made her fall from stairs.

ok they engaged. so, Daran met her new exchange student, named Kang Kyungjoon, who seems giving her much care, he also interested in her. hmm hellooo? Daran is his teacher and more than 25 something, she also already engaged. that's what I think when I watched the first episode. Kyungjoon is only 16 btw.

but then, the story continue with Daran's unsteady feeling toward her fiance. she has this feeling that Yoonjae doesn't love her, and only want to marry her because he felt guilty. so, seeing Daran is so sad, crying, sobbing and anything, Kyungjoon takes her to a lake and calming her a little. I feel giddy when I saw the scene when Daran and Kyungjoon ride the motorcycle together.

it turns out that Yoonjae call her and want to meet her so he can tell the truth about his feeling to Daran. so, Yoonjae go to that lake with car, and Kyungjoong go home by motor leaving Daran who waiting for Yoonjae.

In their way, unfortunately they get accident. the two of them, both Yoonjae and Kyungjoon, same accident. they avoid a big truck, both fall to a big lake and drown. 

I don't know, but when Yoonjae is trying to safe Kyungjoon who drown and unconscious, suddenly they...................................change. what I mean is, Yoonjae's soul goes to Kyungjoon body, and Kyungjoon's soul goes to Yoonjae's body.

when Kyungjoon wake up at the hospital, he's freaked out because he's not in his own body, but Yoonjae's!!! body of his teacher's fiance and literally 30 something man body!

well if someday I woke up in a body of someone else like that I'll also freaked out. so now Kyungjoon is in Yoonjae's body, and apparently, Yoonjae's in Kyungjoon's body is not waking up, he's in coma or something idk.

the story continue with Kyungjoon tells Daran that he IS Kyungjoon. and although it's impossible, Daran believe it because Kyungjoon show something that inly Kyungjoon and Daran who knows about it, sort of bbuing bbuing move.

ok that's the brief synopsis..........................of episode 1...............

should I go on? cause if I go on, it means spoiler................

ok but let me give you some point of this drama.

it turns out that Yoonjae is cheating on Daran, and Kyungjoon is so sweet because he keep accompany Daran. and the story goes on with both Daran and kyungjoon have feeling for each other. and tell you what it's so sweet and I even forget that Kyungjoon is a teenager. 

are you curious with the ending? will Kyungjoon and Yoonjae back to their own body? who's Daran will end up with?

hohohoooooo you should watch it because it's soooooooo unpredictable!

though the ending is a bit disappointing, I really hope this drama can win the best drama of the year wohoooo!!

p.s: the ost also good, you should hear it: Davicihi-Because it's you (neorasso)

Hunger Games

Been awhile since the last time I wrote book review. Well after some thoughts, I think all my book/movie reviews are not actually a review, right? hahaha It's like my 'thought' about the story. Ok, so let's start this so-called-book-review.

I finish this book right after I watched the movies. In fact, I knew this novel since a loooong time ago but I didn't know that this novel is great. So it's like I ignored this. After I had known that this book turned into a movie, I was like O.O *oh God what have I done?* hahahaha I should have read this amazing novel earlier.

anyway, I read this novel like months ago but I just made the review now -___- *stupid me!*

500 Days of Summer

have you seen this movie? I've watched this movie for more than 10 times. I incredibly love this movie. as at the start the narrator said, this is not a love story. but it's a story about love.
I also wouldn't say this is a romantic story. it shows you how a someone who really meant something to you, someone you once thought she's the one, someone who you think you won't can live without her, but in the end...she's not the one. how hard you tried to get her back or want her.
in the other movie, perhaps the couple will ended up together again as the boy really tried to get his love, but that's not how life works sometimes. no matter how perfect couple you are.

"some people are meant to fall in love with each other, but not meant to be together"
