Movies watched in 2023

Ballerina (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Lee Chung Hyun

Mini-review:

I'm a huge fan of Jeon Jong Seo and I enjoyed The Call very much, so I was really looking forward to Ballerina, her second collaboration with director Lee Chung Hyun. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint. It's sleek and visually stunning, and Jeon Jong Seo more than rises up to the challenge. She definitely has what it takes to be an action movie star. Tbh, the script and the story are much weaker and unoriginal than in The Call, but Lee Chung Hyun clearly knows how to direct the hell out of an action scene. Also, the movie is pretty short, so it goes straight to the point and it never gets boring. Anyway, I hope these two keep collaborating, cause so far they've been on fire together.

P.S. There's quite a lot of triggering content, and I recommend looking up some warnings before watching.

The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call Review

Cast: Ju Ji Hoon, Choo Young Woo, Ha Young

Genre: Medical Drama, Action, Comedy Elements

The 8-episode short series is about a Trauma Center in a renowned university hospital. Baek Gang Hyeok is an expert surgeon newly appointed to head the trauma team in the hospital. He takes a younger doctor, Yang Jae Won, under his wing along with an experienced, spirited nurse, Cheon Jang Mi. Together, this team faces various challenges every day and develops a bond over time.

I was looking forward to this drama since it has Ju Ji Hoon in it, and watching him perform is always a pleasure. As expected, he delivered and devoured his role as a genius doctor who is spontaneous, confident and sincere. His matter-of-fact personality comes off as “rude” and irks many colleagues and seniors at work, but he always speaks with his craft. He radiates confidence and peculiar charm, and his one-liners about how much he believes in himself give comic relief to the audience. The performance of Baek Gang Hyeok truly leaves an impression and I wanted to see more of him.

The other actors also did really well. I have not seen much of Choo Young Woo, but him as Yang Jae Won was so memorable. His emotions and reactions to situations were so relatable and funny at times as well. Watching one of his interviews where he mentioned he studied for this role with a professor is reflected clearly in his dedicated performance. Ha Young as the cheerful yet serious senior nurse in the trauma center is the strength that holds the team together. Them, along with an anaesthesiologist who touches our hearts towards the end together become a formidable team headed by Baek Gang Hyeok.

The show also has a lot of other familiar faces as supporting characters, and each of them bring their own elements and plot devices to the show. The show is focused throughout the eight episodes, absolutely no-nonsense and made with high precision. The audience can clearly see the amount of effort that went into making the show and this realism enamours us. This has to be one of the best medical shows I have seen in a while. Whether you are new to kdramas, fans of the actors or not, if you need an entertaining show that will leave you satisfied in the end, 10/10 absolutely recommend The Trauma Code. And believe me when I say, you will fall in love with Ju Ji Hoon :)

Queen of Tears

This series is not perfect, but it is still good. It has a solid storyline, and great characters. Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo have been married for 3 years and the love that had united them at the beginning seems to have disappeared in their distance and silence after a miscarriage that broke their hearts. When Baek Hyun Woo finally has the courage to present the divorce papers to Hong Hae In, she tells him she has a tumor and doesn't have much time left. His decision to stay with her gives them an unexpected chance at finding that love that had united them once. Family interactions between their very different families questions dynamics and help characters grow.

I like the fact that they didn't take the easy way out with our main antagonist. The story in itself is really good and I loved it, however, production was a bit careless with details that were too big to miss: Hae In's operation - how can a person with a brain tumor have a surgery with her hair intact. Or Hyun Woo's neck injury suddenly disappearing in a second, ext. These kind of details show some careless oversight. But we can forgive them - we laugh it off and keep watching to see what happens next.

I liked it and recommend it.

Undercover High School

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2025

Undercover High School (2025, South Korea)

Director: Choi Jung In

Writer: Im Young Bin

Mini-review:

This was exactly as fun as I hoped it would be. The writing did rely a bit too much on coincidences and small plot holes, but the characters and the story itself were entertaining as hell. I particularly enjoyed the whole thing about the urban legends and how they play into the mission, which is an original twist on the undercover spy trope. But really, the best thing about the show might be its cast. Seo Kang Joon is finally back and proving he's the perfect action hero, while Jin Ki Joo brings a lot of energy and spunk. Oh, and Kim Shin Rok makes for a delightful villain as well. So, even if Undercover High School isn't perfect, it will offer you a superfun experience filled to the brim with laughs and thrills.

Save the Green Planet! (2003)

Movie #1,116 • TRUE RANDOM, VOL. LII

I don’t think there’s ever been a bigger tonal discrepancy between what a movie poster looks like and what the actually movie looks like.

And these other ones are even worse!...

This one (French DVD release) is probably the ‘best’ though I feel like it’s not a good design and is still off…

This is a damn good movie though. The color-grading and some of the editing choices reminded me that it was in 2003 in South Korea too, but I am gonna make a point moving forward not to keep harping on about my hatred of the mid-00s film aesthetic. I'm a broken record.

Writer-director Jang Joon-hwan has a fascinating though limited feature-length filmography. He's only made three pictures in the last 20 years and they all seem vastly different (although he's allegedly been tapped to helm the English-language remake of this, his debut). But he clearly has a sense of style...

As previously mentioned, this is way more gritty and gruesome than one would ever expect given the initial goofy hats and movie poster and title. The unveiling of this dark world is done with patience and I loved how more and more of the torture chamber is slowly revealed and the movie just keeps getting darker and darker, making you wonder why this green planet deserves to me saved at all. And while, sure, that point is made explicit by the film's ultra-convoluted batshit, 2001-aping, expo dump of an ending, it didn't dilute the experience for me. It's all too weird and unique to pick nits. It's an impactful and memorable movie. One that legitimately earns its cult status. A big win for TRUE RANDOM!

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
