Libro: TV Series Review

My favourite TV series is called 'Moon, the Mystery of Calenda' (Luna, el misterio de Calenda). It is a series full of mystery, love, and action. This series is broadcast on Wednesdays at 22:30 on Antena 3.

As almost every episode features a full moon, the protagonist turns into a werewolf. Meanwhile, the Civil Guard investigates the strange events that happen in Calenda.

My favourite characters are Joel and Leire because they are the main characters of the series, and I think that if they weren't in it, it wouldn't be the same. Joel is the werewolf and Leire is his girlfriend; they make a lovely couple.

All in all, I would recommend this series because it is aimed at young people and it is very interesting. Personally, I think it is a show that isn't boring at all because every time, something new happens. It is a series that makes you laugh, gets you excited, and at times leaves you on the edge of your seat. I recommend that you watch it and follow it; you will definitely enjoy it!

Workbook: Film Review

One of my favourite films is 'Un día inesperado' (If Only). I watched this film this past Saturday afternoon with my parents.

The film is about the true meaning of love; it is a romantic drama with comedic elements. The protagonist does not know how to express his feelings to his girlfriend. However, fate gives him a second chance to show his love to her after she tragically dies in a car accident. In the end, she realizes how deeply her boyfriend loves her, and the one who dies in the accident to save her is him.

My review of this movie is thoroughly positive because I really enjoyed it. Despite being a romantic drama, it teaches valuable life lessons that you can share with your partner. I recommend this movie to all my friends so they can watch it. I am sure that they will love the film!
