1. A Perfect Fit

Indonesian film that really captures the atmosphere of Bali. For KLovers who really want to go to Bali or miss vacationing in Bali, this film is perfect for your watchlist. Every character in the film really has the Bali accent, so when you watch it, you will definitely wonder if the actors are from Bali. They are so good at speaking (well, they are actors after all, they must really immerse themselves in the characters, right KLovers?).

A PERFECT FIT is indeed a perfect recommendation, especially for those who are unsure about their love life. The story is really fresh. Saskia, played by Nadya Arina, is the partner of Deni, played by Giorgino Abraham, who will get married soon. Saskia can patiently handle Deni's temperamental character, probably because she loves him, right KLovers? At one point, Saskia meets a fortune teller who says she will find a new path in her life, and it turns out that it doesn't take long for Saskia to meet a shoe businessman named Rio, played by Refal Hady. Their unplanned meeting becomes the start of their journey together, which is not free from obstacles.

Here, we will see how confused Saskia is in her love story. According to Rio, 'In life, we will always face big waves, and we must be able to surf on them to find beauty.' Watching A PERFECT FIT will teach us many things about love. We will know that as we grow older and build romantic relationships, what we need is someone who can make us comfortable when talking, someone with a mindset in seeing the world. It's not about physical appearance or material things that determine the quality of a relationship, right KLovers?! So, hurry up and watch it, it will be fun to watch it on a Saturday night with your partner. Oh, and even if you're single, you can still watch it and learn about choosing a partner and not getting trapped in a toxic relationship.

2. The Kissing Both 3

A film that has been widely discussed lately, some people like and some people don't like the ending of the film, it's all a matter of taste so it's understandable if it's different. As for me, I really like the realistic ending. 'THE KISSING BOTH 3' is the final installment of 'THE KISSING BOTH' film series. It's okay to watch the last installment, but I recommend watching from season 1 and 2 to fully understand the story. This film is a romantic-comedy genre, so it won't be boring. Every film in this trilogy tells the story of Elle, who is friends with Lee but also dating Lee's brother named Noah. In each season, Elle tries to balance between friendship and romance. Who would date their friend's sibling or have a crush on their friend's brother? By seeing Elle, we know that it's not as easy as it seems. In the first film, the conflict is not too complicated, we are presented with a romantic relationship between Elle and Noah who are just starting to date. In the second film, their relationship becomes complicated because when Noah goes to Harvard after graduating from high school, they have a long-distance relationship. Elle is also torn between two choices, whether to study at Harvard with her beloved or at Berkeley with Lee, which they have planned in advance. The third film is the culmination of 'THE KISSING BOTH' trilogy and also the final installment. The summer vacation atmosphere in 'THE KISSING BOTH 3' is strongly felt, so when you're stressed with assignments, watching season 3 feels like going on a vacation too. During the vacation, Elle, Noah, and Lee of course experience many problems, whether they fight and make up again. Their story is very relatable to young people nowadays. Anyway, what makes it interesting and highly recommended to watch is not only because of the conflicts depicted in the film, which many people experience in reality, but also because KLovers can learn from Elle's character. In season 3, Elle appears to be very mature compared to the previous seasons. She dares to make big decisions for her life, and this is something that should be emulated when it comes to making decisions. Exciting, right? Hurry up and watch the movie, if you don't want to be alone, invite me, it's totally fine.

3. Move To Heaven

KLovers have you ever heard of a job cleaning and organizing the belongings of deceased people?! If not, it's perfect to watch this movie, or rather a series consisting of 10 episodes that will definitely make anyone who watches it cry in every episode, so don't forget to prepare tissues.

The characters in this movie include Geun-Ru, who has Asperger's syndrome but is very intelligent. His acting, which looks so natural, successfully touches the audience and makes them aware of the syndrome. In addition, there is his uncle named Sang-Gu who is very cold. Imagine, KLovers, a child with Asperger's syndrome having to live alone with a cold uncle who has just been released from prison. Each episode of MOVE TO HEAVEN has a different story, and many people love this movie because it is very realistic (honestly, I cried a lot when watching it, even watched it twice).

Watching MOVE TO HEAVEN will make us love our family more and not waste time. There are many facts that will surprise us and make us cry about the relationship between the uncle and nephew, as well as the character development of Sang-Gu from being cold to caring deeply for Geu-Ru, which is very touching. No need to be confused about what to do on weekends, just watch it with your family. But if you're embarrassed to cry in front of many people, watch it alone and prepare tissues so that you don't end up with a runny nose when crying.

4. Our Times

If this film will make me invite KLovers to reminisce about high school days, it will definitely make me smile and remember puppy love. OUR TIMES is a Mandarin film with a romantic comedy genre. The main characters in this film are Hsu Tai-Yu as the leader of a school gang who loves to fight and is feared, and Lin Truly, an ordinary girl who appears naive. Their story is very funny, as Lin Truly sends chain letters that bring them closer.

I'm sure KLovers have experienced liking someone but can only keep it to themselves or have experienced a love triangle in high school, right?! Their love story is somewhat similar to that, and it made me smile while watching. The character that made me fall in love with this film is Hsu Tai-Yu, a figure who looks intimidating but has trauma, and when it comes to love, he is extraordinary. KLovers, love doesn't have to be possessive, and I'll give you a little spoiler, Hsu Tai-Yu has a crush on Lin Truly. The ending is completely unexpected, even though it's a romantic comedy genre, it can also make you cry, KLovers. So, watch it quickly, maybe you can reminisce about your love story with him during high school.

5. Miracle In Cell No 7

This is a sad family film of all time, it's very old-fashioned but I want to recommend it to KLovers. It's a lie if you don't cry, this film is literally a family film without any love story. It tells the story of a father named Lee Yong Goo who has mental retardation and has a daughter named Ye-Sung.

At first, Ye-sung has a desire to have a Sailor Moon bag, her father works hard to fulfill her little daughter's wish, in short, when he has the money, it turns out that the bag has been bought by the child of a police commissioner. Lee Yong Go was told by the commissioner's child that he knows a store that sells Sailor Moon bags and wants to take the father there. Unexpectedly, on the way, something unexpected happens, the father is accused of sexual harassment and murder, honestly, this scene is very tearful.

Our emotions can really be stirred up by MIRACLE IN CELL NO 7, the comedy in this film is also there and the sense of family in prison is strongly felt, suddenly laughing, touched, crying, everything mixed into one.

How the story continues, it's better to watch it, you can really imagine what it's like to be in Ye Sung's position, still young but already experiencing such a heavy problem, I'm writing this while tearing up, you can feel the vibrations by watching it, KLovers.
