ANNOUNCEMENTS

I am sorry to announce that I have made a decision to officially close Cypsis' Blog.

All the reviews stay up as they are, but I will not write more reviews. Cypsis' Blog had many ups-and-downs during those 7 years and I have tried to give the best I could, but unfortunately my life has moved on so much that finding time for reviewing has become more and more difficult. Closing the blog is breaking my heart, but I have thought a lot about it and understood that it is for the best. I am very thankful to everybody who have enjoyed reading my reviews.
(PS. I am still continuing to watch Asian dramas and you can always find me on Mydramalist.com)

Thank you for all these 7 years. I hope that those 240 reviews made you happy. I truly had unforgettable time writing them!

Sincerely, Cypsis

The Billionaire (2011)


Also known as: Top Secret

Genre: true life events
Cast: Pachara Chirativat, Walanlak Kumsuwan, Somboonsuk Niyomsiri, 
Synopsis: The movie tells the success story of Aitthipat Kulapongvanich (Tob) who became one of the youngest billionaires in Thailand after dropping out of university and failing several businesses.
Rating: 5/5
If this movie does not make you get up from your bed and work for your success then I do not know what would. It is one of the most inspiring movies I have seen and to think, that it is the actual story of Tob's life, it is insane. Of course, there are some things added to the movie to make it more interesting for viewers.

Woah! It has been a long time since I made a marathon! Okey, in reality I watched first episode in late May, but I watched all other episodes now in a row. It is definitely one drama you should not drop just after watching first episode.

Despite that Yanne's opinion on it was "lousy story and built-up on action scenes", I really enjoyed watching it. Of course, after all these weeks of watching "low-quality" horror movies, it was delightful to watch something not depressing.
