Movie: For the First Time
For the Hearts Month, it is just apt to recommend a romantic story of an unlikely couple whose fates and lives where entwined by cupid’s arrow. A story of

the power of love that conquers all odds. This might be the first movie of Filipino actress KC Concepcion but her exemplar acting will touch everyone’s

hearts. Added to that will be the beauty of Greece, the setting for the momentous love affair.

Music, love and laughter all rolled in to one funny and romantic story. That is the charm of jdorama Nodame Cantabile. If you don’t like classical music, you

will learn to love it for Megumi Noda and Shinichi Chiaki have showcased the beauty of the music intertwined with their quirky love story. Added to that is

the over the top hilarious scenes that will unseat you and make you roll on the floor laughing!

Track: My Happiness (Wo De Kuai Le) by Chin Hsiu
The soothing tunes of the piano plus the heart-wrenching scenes of Fated To Love You every time this song is played makes one truly feels the love. This

might not be the main theme of the series, but this is my most loved song amongst the soundtrack. The sad scenes of Fated to Love You will not be the same if

not for this song!
