Rookie detective Natsuki Sawara joins the Ginza Police Station as the top student from his class, and finds himself face-to-face with his father Akimura Shimao, a top detective in the same station who left Sawara when he was just a child. Will father and son be able to set aside their bitter past – and different personalities when it comes to dating – and work together?

Finished watching the series of Bitter Blood. Personally, I felt that the plot was pretty good! The story flow well with different cases for the detectives to solve in each episode. I enjoyed watching the process of how the detectives solved the cases not only through evidence but also logical thinking. Also, there were humor elements in this entire series as well.

Both the father and son were put together as partner working on various cases. Though they had family dispute in the past, they were rather cooperative when it comes to work. Through each cases they been through, it strengthen their kinship to another level. Thus, it injected the importance of kinship and kept viewers reminded of that.

Watabe Atsuro, Sato Takeru and Kutsuna Shiori acted well with their given roles. The other characters did good also. As usual, I am impressed by Japanese celebrities expressive acting capabilities.

Bitter Blood theme song - Do you ever shine?

The finale was exciting yet heart-warming. Overall, a well-package drama not to be missed!

Hazel and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them - and us - on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, based upon the number-one bestselling novel by John Green, explores the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love. 

Personally, I felt that the story was good and compact though certain scenes were pretty slow-paced. It has interesting plot in the beginning which went slightly dull after which. The story flow well with some humor elements was injected which lighten this film up. 

This film caught more of my attention towards the end where she found out something that she was not aware of. I felt that was the moment which hit me and I felt touched by the gesture. The gesture which portrayed what true love is about.

I guess the book is better since many said so though I never read it. Overall, I think it is a good romance film. Catch it if you enjoy watching romance show.

The film tells the female agent Ameera after a failed mission, private life crisis, conspiracy, and attempt to create organizational struggle Resident Evil dark story found during the processing of personal crisis.

Watched Ameera 特工艾米拉 recently online. Ambrose Hui was the leading actor in the show thus it was one of the reason why I wanted to catch it. And yep, He used to be my favourite actor in Taiwan dramas. It has been awhile since I see him on screen.

Personally, I thought that this film was good though it could have been better. Initially, the story was seems predictable without much climax. However, as it continue on, it gets better with an unexpected twist. Nice fighting scenes which bring this show to another level. 

I felt that certain scenes for the solved mystery ended quite abruptly. It ended with a 'To be continued' so I guessed there will be a sequel for this film?

Had this chicken java curry sauce pasta at Creative Cafe. The portion of this dish was decent and appetizing. The curry sauce was flavourful and yet not... strong for my taste bud. The sauce goes pretty well with the pasta, mushroom and chicken. 

I thought that this dish was pretty appetizing. This will be the dish that I would recommend if you patronize this eatery.

Adore the conceptual design and layout of this bakery.

This was my first time inside a bakery kitchen! As you can see, the baker started off with the dough thus it started from everything from scratch. The process was not easy I felt but the satisfaction of the end product will certainly score a achievement. It was an eye opener and rare experience for me to see the heavy duty equipment and certain processes before of an end product of the bread.

The delicious bread that you only get to purchase here!

Basically, these were some of the bread and pastries that I have tasted.  

1. White Chocolate Bun
2. Brioche
3. Raisin Roll
4. Croissant
5. Lemon meringue 
6. Salted Caramel Tarte

I  also tasted their almond pastry and Matcha Orange Bun. Basically, the listed bread and pastries tasted hearty and decent with good texture. Most importantly, it was served warm.

Personally, I prefer the Raisin Roll, Croissant and Salted Caramel Tarte!

Croissant was fluffy with crispy crust! You can just eat this on its own without any spread on it! Salted Caramel Tarte was yummy! It could be quite sweet for some thus it will be better to eat it together with the hazelnut!

My cup of cute latte (:

A murder case took place in a theatre with the lead actor being killed. A detective was tasked to investigate the case. The theatre group is determined to go ahead with the performance as their survival is hinged on it and the detective is trying to find the killer whom he believes is among the theatre group.

Some of the characters acting in this detective series. 

Finished watching 《侦凶》who killed the lead. Personally, the plot was good though I felt that it could have been expanded further. A good suspenseful film which kept viewers to analysis each character as a suspect.

I have to agree that the story flow well with the clues gathered from each episodes. Each episode is crucial in finding out the killer of the lead. Towards the end, you get to realise how everything was linked to the murderer. However, I guess it was suppose to be another intended killer but circumstances changes everything. 

Personally, I felt that Jessica Liu acted well with her given role. She bring out her character well with expressive emotion. I could see a slight improvement in Elvin Ng's acting though I felt that he could be more expressive and bring forth more emotions to his character. Despite being the new actor, I thought that James Seah acted well even though his given role was small. The other cast did quite good too. 

If you enjoy watching thriller series and have not watch it, you may wish to catch this detective web series here!

Basically, This cafe has a cosy ambiance which appeal to me pretty much. Went there on a weekend afternoon with a group of friends and I thought it was a good chill-out place. Though the concept and design was simple, I felt that the place seems to be another home.

Personally, I thought that food tasted pretty decent. The appropriate amount of dish served were decent for one. My favourite will be the scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and banana cake! 

Scrambled eggs was nicely done and was appetizing though I felt that the mayonnaise was slightly too much for my taste bud. Smoked salmon was fresh and the seasoning was not too.. salty. Also, they are not stingy with the amount given. 

Banana Cake was served warm! Amazingly, it goes well with the peanut butter sauce which was a creative creation. This will be one of the dish you must have if you visit this cafe! However, this dessert can be pretty sweet for some thus you may wish to share it with another person.
