CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE
Tells of the efforts of a junior high school student who called Nam quietly handsome face shone like the guy (Mario Maurer). Liking an older grade level, not an obstacle for Nam to compete with other girls at her school.
Many behaviors and act funny Nam presented throughout the duration of the film. With the help of three of her classmates, Nam metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.
That's the core of the story in film romantic comedy genre that might be in the categories I mentioned adhani movie review blog. After a short time ago was addicted to the genre of this film, though initially resisted firmly friend's recommendation that the hobby of movie-romantic romantic genre.
Not unexpectedly, Thailand film type that seem simple romantic comedy with a predictable story and it is common in similar films able to leave a lasting impression for anyone who just watch it. Its strength lies in his character that was delivered by NAM with his friends and witty characters Teacher Inn.
Film based on a story based on true love story all people. Also supported by the selection of the soundtrack is ok-ok got. It could be making you mewek carried away. Sinematografinya also not heroics but seemed simple and elegant, which deserves a thumbs up make-upnya effects that can change a person from ordinary to extraordinary.

TAIWAN
THEY KISS AGAIN
It Started With a Kiss ended with odd couple Zhi Shu (Joe Cheng) and Xiang Qin (Ariel Lin) getting married in characteristically comical fashion, and the sequel picks up the story with their honeymoon and married life. Xiang Qin is as ham-fisted as ever, creating many funny situations as she learns the ropes of being a wife and tries hard to become a good nurse and work alongside her genius husband. Aspiring doctor Zhi Shu meets some obstacles at school when he encounters both academic and romantic rivals who are determined to over-rule him. As Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin struggle with their professional ambitions, they also struggle with their personal relationship. Many times, Zhi Shu's coldness and harshness drives Xiang Qin to tears and she tries to run away. Zhi Shu himself learns to understand and deal with his jealousy when Xiang Qin's nursing fellow student Yang Qi Tai (Figaro Ceng) becomes too close. He also tries to push Xiang Qin to higher ambition and independence. Zhi Shu soon learns to love Xiang Qin and forgive her bumbling ways, and Xiang Qin tries harder to become a better wife and nurse for her husband.
Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin are not the only ones having problems with their relationship. Xiang Qin's childhood friend Ah Jin (Jiro Wang) deals with the unwelcome affections of Christine, an English exchange student who latches onto him against his will. Xiang Qin's friend, Chun Mei (Petty Yang), gets pregnant by her boyfriend, Ah Bu (Aaron Yan), but his wealthy, highbrow mother is desperate to keep them apart. Zhi Shu's younger brother Yu Shu (Zhang Bo Han) deals with his own first love and their story remarkably resembles that of Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin.
