Hello hello, I just finished another famous drama of 2015 in a week.

Then, I become more interested to watch this drama since I have watched Hwang Jung Eum & Park Seo Joon's great acting in Kill Me Heal Me first.


Ahem... A story about ugly duckling that transforms into a beautiful swan is such a boring story, and actually this drama presented the opposite version.

Anime Review: Shigatsu no Kimi wa Uso (2014-2015)

I forgot to post a review about anime that I watched last 2015. This anime is titled Shigatsu no Kimi wa Uso (Your Lie in April). My younger brother even recommended this anime and I eventually watched it :P

After his mother, who was also his instructor, died, he had a mental breakdown while performing at a piano recital at the age of twelve. As a result, he is no longer able to hear the sound of his piano even though his hearing is perfectly fine. Two years later, Kōsei hasn't touched the piano and views the world in monochrome, without any flair or color. He has resigned himself to living out his life with his good friends, Tsubaki and Watari, until, one day, a girl changes everything. Kaori Miyazono, a fourteen-year old audacious, free-spirited violinist whose playing style reflects her manic personality, helps Kōsei return to the music world and shows that it should be free and mold breaking unlike the structured and rigid style Kōsei was used to.

Makiko has told him something embarrassing about Yoko, and Yoko can no longer stand it.
