my eyes were bawling and my heart was weak watching the ending. I love how japanese anime closely relates to reality. The emotions depicted in some scenes were so intense, I was wheezing my lungs out from crying - doraemon and nobita have been a huge part of my childhood and watching the story play out; it felt like I was losing somebody of my own. Nobita has taught me a lot on being a good human and has influenced my personality to be warm, kind and giving in a world that moves fast, expects perfectionism and good on paper people, similar to his world. Please never stop making these. Humanity needs more of such content in the entertainment segment.

Queen of Tears isn't your average Korean Romance Drama. It doesn't dwell a lot on courtship to feel love in the early dating phases. It doesn't have adorable food wars between the lead and his woman. Queen of Tears incorporates involving ego, pride and hatred into the structure of marriage until it crumbles - until they can't stand each other, until the promises once made with love are seen as a burden and when silent treatments are the only active form of communication. Abandonment, betrayal, loss, loneliness are prominent themes of the drama. And yet- It shows you the route out; of accepting all the quirks, shortcomings and idiosyncrasies of the persons involved in the commitment and still wanting to go by life with them. It depicts how marriage isn't a linear progression of love but rather an everyday attempt of filling in your glass jar with happy moments so you have something to anchor you in the moments when your partner feels like your enemy. Queen of Tears dwells on the comeback - repairing after conflicts, talking about the tough stuff instead of choosing to let it slide fostering resentments about it, choosing love over ego even when there is a possibility of rejection, engaging in healthy communication and everything in between. Love is not fancy, love is not grand, love is not boastful. Love is kind, love is calm, love is grounded, love is reassuring. Love is not blind. Love is accepting

Best bro best !!! Making, emotions, feel, story, oru rekshaeum ilaa. I feel like the hero 😂😂. Everybody needs a friend like Siju David. Best.

I've watched all mainstream Kdramas but Welcome to Samdalri felt close to home. The warmth and the lightheartedness of the drama just snuggles you in instantly. I love that it lacks intense drama and is mostly relatable and funny. It takes you through the emotions of the characters expecially the haenyoes; a unique take on women empowerment that is often underlooked. The characters were written out in precision and the best element I found in this drama is that everybody comes together seamlessly ; i.e the focus is not only on the lead cast. What felt like a breath of fresh air was Yong- pil's character - incredibly reassuring, validating and in general, showing up as a secure healthy partner is an attribute that I can embody in my personal relationships. The actress that played Samdal is insanely underrated. When I first clicked the drama, I thought to myself how the directors should have picked a more glamorous female lead. It takes an incredible level of acting and audience connecting to change someone's mind like that. I love her on screen presence and her minute expressions. But best of All, I love Gangtae and his mother 🤣🤣❤️

I really don't know why it has got such a low review base. As an empath, my heart shattered and swelled up seeing Natsume suck in everything up like that and pretend to be happy. It tore me. As a kid, I was never understood back home. I had to feel all these big emotions and navigate through it all alone whilst not letting the outside world be suspicious. Maybe that is why when I laugh or cry, I only let out air. Because I've never allowed myself to make sound. I've always been so quite trying to figure what's wrong with me because I always seemed to be the odd kid, I never had friends, used to sit alone, had parents that saw me as an achieving machine that would help them shine in front of others. I used to suck up all the nasty comments, accusations, other's blame even if it was completely their fault. I used to just stay silent and hear it all. Nobody ever wanted to ask me what was wrong. Nobody wanted to hear me. Was it because I never made any sound. I don't know. I was never treated as a kid that just wanted some extra love. I was in a a dark isolated space all my life. I never understood myself until I got to my late teens where I understood I have only myself in this world. These kids risking their lives for each other while still arguing, and feeling stuck really made me emotional. When Kosuke came in a bright, large ferris wheel to save Natsume, I lost it. It resonated with my trauma because nobody was there for me to pull me out of my dark space. I felt natural that Natsume would blame him for trying to come save her because she worried more about his safety than herself. But when Kosuke lashed out screaming he was tired of her lying she was fine all the time and shouted out loud how much she meant to him, it allayed me. It gave a closure to my scars. It felt personal. It felt like those lines were made for me to hear. This movie is what I needed to really find peace within myself and stitch my past to my present. I could feel the healing energy penetrate through me after all the ugly crying from my undeserved past. Remembering those events jolted me and deeply distressed me. It feels a lot more peaceful now. I thank the movie from the deepest end of human gratitude for bringing out these trapped remains in me and shining some light in me. Much love.
