I came across My Happy Marriage anime on Netflix on New Year's Eve. I absolutely loved the story. I found out yesterday that there's a live action movie. I saw some clips online and was blown away by how the actors and their costumes brought the anime to life. The casting for Miyo, Kiyoka and Akata were all on point.

I love the movie. The actors who played Miyo & Kiyoka perfectly played their parts so well, and really brought these characters to life. They have great chemistry.

Though the anime gives more details about the story, the movie is able to portray more emotions. The movie showed the relationship of the main leads better because there are subtle facial expressions and tone of voice that can't be portrayed or captured by an anime.

I love the movie version of how Kiyoka had to make the tough decision to leave Miyo with her grandfather. Ren Maguro's expression and tone really tells you how Kiyoka felt at that moment. It broke my heart! It's one of my favourite scenes in the movie.

The anime shows more of how powerful they are with their gifts but the movie shows how they really felt for one another.

I would rewatch it again. Heck, I would watch a dozen seasons of the live action of it was a series.

I've watched this movie twice and I'm absolutely entranced by the main leads.

I highly recommend this movie!

This show is captivating from the very first episode. The costumes and cinematography are excellent. The actors I believe were cast perfectly for their roles and did an amazing job portraying their characters. Also it's a very good looking cast! The acting is top notch. The story is beautifully written.

The action scenes made me catch my breath and cheer. The bromance made me smile. The comedic scenes had me laughing out loud, and the sweet moments made my heart flutter and gave me butterflies. When Ruyi and Chief Ning gaze and smile at each other, it made me smile too! Their chemistry is great!

Their individual stories and character development made me root for them and love them. That's the main reason why these characters had the power to break my heart into tiny little pieces and cry over them.

The ending is not what I expected and I know a lot of people are mad and disappointed. I really wanted a different ending for these lovely characters but I guess the writer had different ideas. Even though the ending didn't go the way I'd hoped, for me, it was still a very good CDrama.

I don't want to spoil anything so this is all I can say, I wanted it to end differently than the way it did, but after everything, the last scene still showed their brotherhood and love for one another is still there.

It is a journey to love because the love and brotherhood didn't end.

That made me like the ending and lessened the sting of the scenes leading up to it.

I highly recommend this series. It's definitely one of my favourites.

It was hard to enjoy the first half of this show after just watching New Life Begins. On that show, despite being forced into an arranged marriage, the main leads were amicable and supportive of each other even if the romance was a very slow burn.

On this one, there's just so much scheming and manipulation between the two leads. They are a good looking couple and had good chemistry but I wish they didn't drag the distrusting each other part for so many episodes.

Sure there were some comedic moments, but it wasn't until the couple were on the same page and are completely honest with each other that I really appreciated watching the series more.

The last 7-8 episodes were really good because the couple actually worked as a team.

I enjoyed the action scenes throughout the series as well.

I really liked the ending because they tied everything up neatly and all the villains got what they deserved.
