Movie Apps



 There are a few movie / drama channel  Apps at the Appstore that I've just came across. They offer mainly Chinese / Taiwan / Korean / Hong Kong, drama series & movies. They do have some English movies & dramas but the newer shows are not accessible. You've got to be a paid subscriber to access newer shows.

Anyway, for me, as long as the movies run on wifi, it's a bonus.

Randomly clicked on some posters and I came across this Taiwanese movie (2012 production).
Okay lah, Rom-com (romance comedy / comedy romance)

They story is about a chap, he had a girlfriend who left him one day, with a post it note, to say that she has left him for travelling. This chap has no direction in his life. He just lazes around, basically eat, sleep, girlfriend, like that. So anyway, he does not understand why his GF left him and he waited for her return. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. Eventually, he was kicked out from his rental room, and for a very long time, he tries to call his ex-GF until eventually her phone number was given up.

He found work at a copier shop, photocopying examination papers for a tuition centre nearby. As his job is rather mundane, one time, he spotted a doodle (of a Sheep) on one of the pages. Slowly, he discovers that there were more doodles, somewhat like a series of thoughts and quotes. One day, he "doodled back"  with a character of a Wolf. And so the doodling correspondences began.

He eventually discovers who this doodler is and they became friends. This girl, it seems like she was waiting for someone but he has no idea who. She tells him about the passing of her mother when she was young, and how she copes with "waiting" by counting to a hundred. If the person doesn't appear, then she lets it go. Like her mom did not wake up despite her counting to 100. This chap, he was afraid to count. Because he was afraid that when he reaches 100, his ex-GF may not reappear in his life and that might mean he has to move on with his life.

Anyway, there was a day, he realised that the Sheep lady was leaving. Where to he does not know. In his desperate attempt, he mobilized the student community to throw a paper plane at an appointed time, hoping that a paper plane would reach the Sheep lady.



 (their communications)



 mobilized paper plane throwing on the street but the the Sheep lady had no idea of the chaos behind her.
 THEN!!! THE EX-GIRLFRIEND APPEARS!!!

 GOSH!!!! his prayers are answered, but WHO DOES HE CHOOSE NOW?!!!

 Pretty Ex

 He stares in disbelief 

 Yes?  She asks. 

They exchanged greetings and he realizes he doesn't matter to her and she doesn't matter as much to him anymore. 

Finally, Sheep lady catches one.
