mao's last dancer (2009) 1hr 57mins

i watched this film last week in my history class and we all reallyyy liked it!! it was one of the first films we watched in class that didn't put us to sleep and was quite interesting. we got a small look at life under communist china, however, several of us were unsatisfied with the final romance. overall, it was a great film. 8/10.

heated rivalry (2025) 6 episodes

okay so not gonna lie, i only get into heated rivalry bc all my friends were talking about how gay and smutty it was so i was soo inclined to watch it. i ended up actually getting into it, despite how i oftentimes take recommendation for films and television, but never go through with watching them. i enjoyed the angst as well as the romance so far but i actually have not finished the show yet...i will return after i finally watch the last two episodes.

nana (2006)

this show had me in freaking agony. like, halfway through the show, it deadass hurt my stomach to watch this, bro. i watched it at first bc i thought it was about cute lesbians but bro it's actually soul crushing and it destroyed my joy...anyways, its a 10/10.
