In terms of the story line, I think there could be a bit more to go on, but for a 4 episode OVA, they rushed things a bit and introduced a bit too many characters to kill off. Overall I'd have to give this series a 7/10 as it is alright if you're looking for more gore and action rather than the storyline itself. And by the way, doesn't part of the opening song remind you of a certain American pop song?? Let me know if you notice it too! Anyway, this was a quick review, hope you enjoyed!

Corpse Party: Tortured Souls (OVA anime)
Finished watching Elfen Lied or Another and looking for another bloody anime title to watch? Corpse Party is an anime which includes lot of horror, blood, and gore, something which will satisfy your bloody anime tastes. A group of students and their teacher are trapped in an alternate dimension (just a school) and seem to be murdered one at a time in horrific deaths which will really make you squirm. This OVA even goes as far as showing the internal organs of the victims so yea, this OVA is not for the light hearted.

Mind Game 心迷 (Singaporean Drama Review)
Hey everyone, I will be quickly reviewing the 2015 Singaporean drama Mind Game. This drama actually consists of Singaporean and Malaysian actors and actresses, including quite a diverse range of characters. This drama is a thrilling crime type suspenseful drama. I guess you can call it sort of like an asian criminal minds with more drama compared to only crime focused.
I actually quite enjoyed this drama as it brings many diverse storylines. Although this is the case, there are places where you sort of expect what will happen (I myself having watched many dramas before), so the script-writers followed the usual drama antics. Although this is the case, there isn't many boring parts of this drama as it flows through quite nicely. You usually have one crime which gets resolved within around 3-6 episodes , and in the middle you follow a select number of characters.
Within the drama there are things which linger around which are slowly revealed within each episode. One of the characters got separated with his sister when they were only a child, and quite a huge chunk is about him finding his sister. All I can say is expect the unexpected ok :)
As the show progresses, you sort of realise why the drama is called Mind Game. Sometimes the episodes play tricks on you. There are hypnotists and people who have premonitions. Sometimes characters hide their true nature, and someone who might be good just may be a baddy and vice versa. All I can say is that this drama definitely plays with your mind a bit.
All in all I quite enjoyed this drama and would give it an 8.5/10. If you enjoy dramas heavily related to crime then why not give this drama a try? Until next time, bye!

Persevere, Goo Hae Ra (2015 Korean Drama)
Hey everyone, I started watching Persevere on Friday, and decided to do a review on this drama today(I'm up to episode 5 at the moment).
I have to say that this drama really reminds me of Glee, even though I have not watched Glee before, there seems to be a musical aspect which takes my mind back to Glee. The story revolves around 6 people whose dreams are to become singers. Each of these 6 members meet at a TV show which selects people based on their vocal skills rather than looks and age. Within the first few episodes, a tragedy strikes and destroys the lives of many. This blurb is just a little insight of the story without revealing too much.
I myself quite like this drama, and have enjoyed watching it. My cousin mentioned that it's a musical drama, but the drama I feel has a good balance of both music and drama. You cannot compare this drama to any of your usual American dramas compared to Glee or HSM. There are quite a bit of emotional scenes and quite funny scenes in this drama, so it really takes you on an emotional journey. I think maybe a negative on this drama is the length as it's over 1hr long, but there's only 12 episodes so I guess it's a pretty reasonable length in run time due to this.
Have not much else to say about this drama. You have this sort of love triangle thing happening, something which dramas are good for so you can say that this drama doesn't remove the usual K-Drama aspect of this show. There is also one more thing I really like which some people may not about this drama, and that is that the singers sing covers of already sung songs(similar to Glee). Yea anyway, let's keep this short, I'd give this series 7.5/10. I think it's a good drama to watch, even if you don't like K-Pop, you can just skip the singing bits, but the drama is quite worth while to watch, especially if you don't expect something yea??
