Romance In The Air ... And In China!

By Jasmine



Hey everyone, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite Asian films, particularly some of my favorite romantic movies :-) hope you enjoy.


A diary with tears (2005)



Not really a happy ending love story, but a true tragic story.  It is a diary written by a Japanese girl named Aya Kito, this diary was published soon after her death of a disease. A Japanese drama filmed her real life story, “A litre of tears” is the film version of the drama. Aya had written down all the things she went through as teenager with this disease, she also described in her diary that she still writes because it is the evidence that she is still alive. With the support of family and friends, she stood strong against her sickness as a very happy and positive person, in her last year to live at the age of 25, she can no longer cope with her body, she was unable to talk, walk or eat, but still insisted to write in any possible ways. This movie was an inspiration to many people, including me. It raises a lot of questions, but definitely a great movie to watch and learn from within.

200 Pounds Beauty (2006)



A Korean comedy love story of a 200-pound girl, Ha-na was overweight but had a beautiful voice. She sang for popular singers at the back, but always wished to become a singer, but she was told she does not have the appearance to become a singer. The company’s director didn’t look down on her because she wasn’t beautiful; Ha-na developed a crush on him as they work together. Ha-na knew she wasn’t good enough for him, so she went for a plastic surgery for a make over. Ha-na pretended to be someone else, went through awful things to become the popular singer. Soon, the company director had recognized her and distanced away from her…..

What’s next? See for yourself!
