Well, better late than never, as the saying goes…
I love this movie so damn much! Korea just rules, when it comes to movies! Then again, my favourite Drama is from them too so…eh!

My Ten Commandments – Part 1
AKA My Top 10 Favourite Yuri Movies Of All Time!
I know a few have been waiting for this list since forever as I have gotten this question quite a lot, and I apologise but that is how hard it was for me to settle on this final verdict!
No, I have not seen Ahgassi/The Handmaiden yet but dear Lord my lovely Readers, I have seen things! Oh have I seen things! Let me tell you this now, Fingersmith is tame, way tame compared to The Handmaiden! If we are going by the yuri, if the book yuri is a 50/100 then the movie yuri is a solid 96/100!
I kid you not!
And so just I presumed would be the outcome, The Handmaiden is going to be my all time favourite movie and all this before I have even watched it! I have never waited for something so hard in my life.
This list is labelled Part 1 because I am planning on posting an in-depth post about this list, explaining each movie and why it is where it is on the list. The delay is of course that I am waiting for The Handmaiden to drop. So do look forward to a deeper post explaining the list.
For now, these are my Ten Commandments, as I like to call them!
But just to be clear, this is not my Top 10 Movies of All Time List! That list contains none yuri/subtext movies like A Tale of two Sisters, The Dark Knight, Martyrs etc…
Anyway, yeah, that is that…for now.
Happy Holidays Wonderful Readers
I hope that you are having a wonderful time like I am right now. While others got more meaningful gifts, yours truly just got €400 worth of Japanese Goodness! I bought 18 products this Christmas which included;
- My Girl/A Girl at my Door
- Grey Crow/Haiiro no Karasu
- Noushou Sakuretsu Girl
- Jinroh Game
- Shibuya Maruyama Story
- Tokyo Girls’ Style 5th Anni Live
- Four Mooks
- More Movies
- A couple of CD
Yeah, Japan will be the death of me! And yes, I have already watched Jinro Game, Shibuya Maruyama Story, Grey Crow and A Girl at my Door but I just had to get my own copies, you know in the case that the world goes to hell and I have to be stuck underground I need to take my yuri BDs and DVDs with me, as well that those fics I printed out because they were so good! Hey, you can never be to careful!
The reason why I did not buy that new movie with Aonami Jun and Nakayama (Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku – Hey, that’s three girls in movies this past year from Ebichu!!!) is because I was lied to! The trailer was so misleading! I was so mad while watching that movie you don’t even have a clue! Forget cute girls, I deleted that movie so fast my PC almost crashed!
And also as usual, this purchase also has TGS in it! Of course there would be! You know, right now I can’t argue that TGS is my favourite Idol Group! Well, was seeing as they are no longer ‘Idols’. With AKB going down the drain I need to find another group and sadly it seems that I am returning back to the roots that is H!P. Isn’t it funny? H!P got me into the Idol world and it looks like they are taking me back. I am just so in love with Kobushi, Country Girls and MM15. Angerme was my favourite after Berryz but seeing as my favourite girl there has just announced her graduation (Why MeiMei, why?!!!) I guess Angerme is off the list! But if Haruna leaves, I am done with H!P as well.
Yes, I am still with the 48G but only where Mayuki are concerned! No Mayuki, no AKB full stop! And while Yukirin has been a Goddess for all these freakin years, I just have a feeling that she is about had enough of being raped by AKS so all I am waiting for is the over-due announcement. I wish she does it together with Mayuyu. AKS needs a middle finger for their faggotory!
Okay, right here and right now, I am announcing that I give up on AKS! I don’t care what they do anymore from now on! I am not ever mentioning anything of them ever again! I swear this to you all my my witnesses dear Readers!
Anyway, jump over for some more scans…
Yes Yes! YES! OMG Japan!

A Girl at my Door 私の少女
Thank you Japan, thank you so very much!
This right here is what life is made of! My patience has been rewarded! You all have no idea how hard it has been fighting the temptation to post about this movie with low quality caps! My mind even played tricks on me whispering in my ear that Japan will only release DVDs and not BluRays!
Well take that me! I fought myself and actually won! We are getting the BluRays courtesy of Japan and while they won’t be here until October, they are so worth the wait! This is the one movie I want in my BluRay Collection no matter what and I am getting it!!!
Thank you Japan!
Oh ye blessed Japan!
I seriously have no idea where my life would be without Japan! I can honestly say that 70% of the happiness I am feeling in my life currently is because of this blessed country! There isn’t even any doubt about it! Ireland is to thank for the other percentage because without it’s awesome ISPs I would be less off! Seriously, a country that provides 200mb/s speeds for under 100 bucks is one to be proud of!
Back to the post, Japan just went and released some behind the scenes footage of what is turning out to be my favourite Korean movie at the rate things are going titled ‘A Girl at My Door’ or in Korean, where it is actually named after Ron-chan’s character – ‘Do-hee’. I was this close to biting the bait and get the Korean 2-Disc version of the DVD because the wait for Bluray is just murder but then I found out that Japan was going to release it in their theatres which gave me hope for a Bluray, even though it won’t have subs like the DVDs actually have but I am sure I will be able to find those with very little looking. If a DVD exists with the subs then they are on the internet for sure.
And so I held on, and then just as I was about to cave in again and get the DVDs ( hey, what can I say, the temptations is increasing by the passing month!) Japan goes and places even more hope in my heart by releasing this very short sneak peek at the BTS of the movie and by the jolly, such a small amount of scenes and yet I felt like re-watching this movie, again!!! Actually I am going to do just that after this! I don’t think I have ever watched a movie so many times in such a small amount of space like I have this movie! And it has no subs!!! This is not Japanese we are taking about here where my yuri powers give me the ability to understand what is being said, I only know less than 10 words of Korean that I can understand when spoken and these words include just titles, JUST TITLES!!!
So you can imagine how much this movie means to me if I am willing to put up with not understanding a thing all these times I watch it and yet every watch I fall in love with it even more! Actually now that I think about it, even if the Japanese DVD (BD hopefully) doesn’t have subs, if it has dubbed audio, then there is no need for subs because if my yuri powers increase with the amount of love I have for what I am watching then I will turn into a fluent Japanese speaker watching a Japanese version of ‘A Girl at My Door’!
Oh man, I just went and hyped myself up even more for this movie, didn’t I! Please Japan, do the same thing you did with ‘Wonderful World End’ and release this Bluray like next month or something! I beg of you! But while we wait for that, jump over for the vid and some cute scenes from it…
