[midnight--sadness]

idk if you have noticed this but it strikes me so funny how lmj interviews will have lbh in the thumbnails and guess whose kr interviews will have jws in the thumbnails?? 🤭 the parallels is so funny bc WIFE

hm wonder why that is 🤭

the korean entertainment industry knows who woosung's wife is and they will make sure everyone else knows it too!

i mean....

eye-

this one abt couples donating to wildfire relief

in an interview, ws described his bond with jj and then hwang jungmin was asked if he felt as close to someone as ws did to jj and he said "not as much as that, but my wife" (not a literal translation btw) - literally saying that he isnt as close to his wife as ws and jj are to each other 🥹

and also during ws' scandal, everyone was saying that they thought jj was ws's actual wife and if he was going to get anyone pregnant it would be jj dofkvndkdjf 😭😭 i was pissed at the time but looking back it's really funny

"for a long time I’ve wanted to give you a gift. it’s quite humble, but if you don’t dislike it, please accept it." - Ri Myong-un

Park Seok-young (Hwang Jung-min), a.k.a Black Venus is a South Korean spy who is sent on a covert mission to infiltrate North Korea’s inner circle during the 1990s, a time of heightened tensions and political manoeuvring between the two Koreas.

read my review below (may contain spoilers):

watched November 27th, 2024 on netflix

this is prolly the best political movie I’ve ever watched, hands down. I was kinda expecting some kind of action-packed James Bond-esque spy thriller, but nope - Gongjak is completely different. and I mean that in the best way possible. it doesn’t try to wow us with explosions or death-defying stunts. instead, it’s all about the quiet tension, the slow burn of strategy, and the insane layers of deceit and double-dealing. what’s fascinating is how it captures the 1990's so well, during South Korea’s election period, with such authenticity. it feels so real, like I’ve actually gone back into that time (although I wasn't born yet when the movie takes place ahaha). the long shots and wide lenses let me soak in every detail. the backgrounds, props, and even the tiniest objects are like characters themselves, telling stories without saying a word. every shot is so stunning, I struggled a bit to pick screenshots for this review ahaha. I’m not joking when I say this entire movie could be framed and hung in a gallery. it’s really that photogenic. the aesthetic? on point. seriously, everything just looks good. from the sets to the costumes, and yes, even the people. and well, I actually watched this moive for Ju Ji-hoon. he looks so different from his usual roles that I almost missed him, but let’s just say, no complaints here. he’s sleek and polished here, but there’s this rawness to his character that totally fits the tone of the movie. but I also love other actors, especially Hwang Jung-min who is the main lead here.

I gotta say, there’s something deeply human about this film.. even with all the big political stuff going on. sure, it doesn’t really hit me in the gut emotionally, apart from a few moments here and there that feel a bit flat, but the final scene? oh-em-gee. I don’t know how anyone could laugh at that. I sobbed like a fool. it’s such a small, quiet moment, but it’s packed with so much emotion. I actually had to pause the movie for several seconds and collect myself before I finished the movie. the story shows how politics is such a messy, manipulative game. I learn quickly that no one’s truly innocent here. everyone’s got their own agenda. and trust? forget about it. by the end, I feel so bad for the spy, used and discarded like he’s nothing. it’s tragic and frustrating, but it also makes me think; can this cold war between North and South Korea ever end when it’s all about propaganda and power struggles? watching this, I can’t help but wish these two countries would put their differences aside; like siblings fighting over nonsense when they’re clearly meant to be on the same side. this film is a masterpiece. it’s quiet but powerful, subtle yet inspiring. this movie leaves me with this strange mix of hope and sadness. hope that someday, North and South Korea can find their way back to each other.

final verdict: I totally loved it!!

"I, The Executioner"

A predictable but solid detective thriller wrapped inside stylish visuals and intense action.

Director Ryoo Seung-wan’s “I, The Executioner” emerges as a gripping yet uneven detective thriller that attempts to balance high-octane action with a nuanced critique of vigilantism and the corrosive effects of social media. The film dives into the dark world of crime and justice with stylish visuals and intense action, though it sometimes stumbles in its narrative execution. Detective Seo…
