I just finished 'nobody knows' and damn. That was rough. I have no words just emptiness. That one left me with an astonishing amount of sadness and bitterness. Watching this, it didn't feel like a movie but rather a documentary. The actors were on another level. Especially Akira. He looked so familiar so I googled him and turned out that Akira is Yuya Yagira known from Gannibal. Bro is literally a born actor.

The Movie is kinda old, so I had a hard time finding a good stream. In case any of yall wanna watch it too:

Movies/Dramas I'm gonna watch next.

Apparently 'Daydream' is just a short Movie on YouTube, so I'll start with it and tell y'all how it was :)

Update: it's not a short Movie on Yt and its not called 'Daydream'💀. The name is 'A little Romance' and is a BL. I have literally no idea where I've got that info from but I'm not interested in any Romance story, so I'll skip it for now and watch 'nobody knows' instead.

I watched the new Netflix series about Junji Ito called Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre.

I love it. It's horror but that pure kind of horror. No jumpscares or anything. Just many fcked up stories. The series consists of many short stories (2 Stories per EP). No episode is like the other and they're not building up to something, so it's in some way relaxing to watch. Some EP were scarier than the other ones but all in all, to me, they were all watchable.

Only 2 Stories caught me off guard and kept me up at night. The first one is called 'Hanging Heads' and is about huge balloons coming out of nowhere looking like actual people. These balloons have a rope attached to them, that they use to wrap that string around the neck of the person they represent to hang them. Out of all the stories, this one freaked me out the most.

The Second Story is called 'Vision in the Library' to me this was the best one - the most interesting one. No jumpscares or anything just pure horror and tension. In that EP you watch a man called Goro living in a huge mansion with a huge library. Knowing and counting every single Book in there. Guarding them with everything he got. When someday few books went missing. Throughout the whole EP, you watch a simple man slowly going insane by trying to memorize all the books in his library in fear of losing any of them ever again. So determined that he's even willing to erase all his lifetime memories to replace them with the information from his beloved books.

Stranger from Hell

So, I just finished it and I remember that during the last EP I recalled all the past events and concluded that the series is quite amusing and interesting but not overly thrilling. Pleasant to watch but not catchy. A series to watch while doing something else. But as the last EP came to an end and all the messed up pieces came together I was so shocked (in a positive way). Tbh, tho I read a lot of comments saying that the end ruined everything. In my opinion the ending was that missing piece to make that drama stand out more.

The whole drama felt like watching a silly and humble dude going through all sort of trouble. Step for step watching how miserable his life is getting. Feeling bad for him and being angry because everything seems so unfair.

It was around EP 6 when it all starts to change. Especially that one part:

cuz, its kinda true. Before that, Jong-woo rarely speaks up to anyone. Even if he speaks up, he gets shushed by everyone around him. Being all quiet even tho the people around were treating him extremely poor. For example the chef who always seemed to hit on Jong-woo's Girlfriend Ji-Eun right in front of him or his colleague who always bad-mouths him.

But after his encounterment with Moon-jo, Jong-woo starts to voice his thoughts. Not only that but even gets a knife. For me, thats the most interesting part because in that part he indeed looked like all the psychopath we met in that Studio.

Especially it reminded me of Nam-bok who always used to watch him with a knife behind his back.

Taking that scene and Moon-jo's words, it makes you ask: who are the real humans? The ones living up to who they really are, doing what they like, or the ones putting on a facade to please society. Every single Character in the Drama has some sort of inner conflict. For example, Byeong-min who seems to hold some grudges against Jong-woo for some trauma he's been through, or the chef having a hard time finding a girlfriend, and even Ji-Eun being overly stressed from all the backlashes she receives at work. Everyone seems to carry around some sort of baggage but never talks about it. Instead, they keep it within themselves or lash out at others if can't suppress it. To get back to the question, Considering all these aspects, isn't it better to simply voice out your thoughts and do what you want?

I'd like to say yes, but the short answer to this question is no. That's when society and law collide. According to the law. Everyone's free to do whatever they want as long as they don't bother others with their behavior or don't do anything illegal, but the truth here is that you might be allowed to do this by law but not by society.

'Weird' describes something unnatural or strange. But we as human beings love similarities: the more someone acts and thinks like you, the more you tend to like them. That's called the chameleon effect. We naturally exclude people who don't are like us, that's when they become 'weird' to us. And because no one in society is showing up as themselves or is putting on a character they'd like to be, the ones that do, stand out even more and have a harder time connecting to others. So instead they suppress it (like everyone else) or become the so-called outcasts. In the Drama that's the Eden Studio.

But the Eden Studio is a bad place full of bad people, right? So actually it's a good thing to not 'stand out', right? From here on it gets complicated. The Movie shows a humble, sweet character who turns into a reckless murderer, but that doesn't happen from one day to another. Jong-woo went through a horrible time with no one listening to him, no one caring for his concerns, and no end in sight. A process of slowly and painfully giving up on others and then on himself. He needed a helping hand that no one was able to give because everyone seemed to worry about their own misfortune. That's when he slowly turned into that 'weirdo', bringing back that scenario where he held a knife behind his back. "Monsters are not born, they're made".

Stranger from Hell is not necessarily an unknown person but rather an unknown side of human beings. Something everyone has within themselves.

There're a lot of other things in SFH that I'd like to mention but that would make the post way too long. The last thing I thought is pretty interesting is that the last EP was called 'Gaslighting'

'using psychological methods into questioning their own sanity or powers of reasoning.' Recalling the ending, this might be the most suitable name not only for that EP but for the whole series. Due to the restless nights and the unhealthy environment Jong-woo slowly loses touch of is own sanity and becomes a whole mess. Falling completely into Moon-jo hands.

As I just mentioned, there’s a lot about SFH that should be mentioned. Especially about Moon-jo. If some of y'all are interested I'm gonna link you a great Reddit post about the moral of SFH and the mindset of Moon-jo.

[mysblog]

Not kdk wondering why yjk is always out for his neck. Bro like you just woke up, let that man breathe.

[mysblog]

[Spoiler]

In terms of Uni, I'm about to fail so I watched Sweet Home and I'm not okay.

I once watched the first EP when newly released but didn't like all the CGI effects. They looked way too cheap but now that I rewatched, damn...

It broke my heart. I loved all the characters and their development towards each other. Even the OST was so good. Tho the CGI effects are still bad but the plot made up for this.

Especially Eun-hyuk, I feel like my men was mishandled the whole damn series. He literally took care of all the people in there and cared so much for their survival. Bro broke my heart. Seeing Eun-yoo crying for her brother... idk like I love her character but she was soooo rude to him. It made me so mad. Maybe it's just her growing up but still. He's such an amazing person who deserves some gratitude.

I'm so excited knowing that on 1st Dec there's gonna be a season 2. Bro perfect timing.

[mysblog]

I need help and you surely have something to recommend to me🤨🤨

I added this real quick cuz Tumblr is gettin on my last nerves

[mysblog]

NO ONE can tell me this ain't true

[mysblog]

No comment on that one

[mysblog]

Still thinking about Bloodhounds but I don't wanna watch it again. I'm literally not ready for that Rollercoaster. So I'm gonna watch another Do-hwan Movie.

Pray for me

Update:

It's okay ig. Not the best thing I've ever watched. It's all about exorcism, a dude who used to be a believer but quit, then again falling back into God's way, and uk some evil dude having a contract with the Devil. You do you but I'm not really into these types of things. Still, it was not poorly made/written so it's worth a shot when you have nothing else to watch. But I should mention that throughout the whole movie, there gonna be some gore scenes.

[mysblog]

This is your sign to go read omniscient reader. Either you get addicted to drugs or to this Webtoon. Your choice.

[mysblog]

For those who are looking for a thriller, non-romance, lowkey psychological drama to watch.

Bros just trust me.

Recently I've watched the drama Bloodhounds. Great plot, great characters as well as chemistry between the characters. Escalates real quick and you'll fall head first into it. Literary watched it within a day.

I could literally rant a whole ass year about Weak hero class 1. Similar to Bloodhound its full of action and mostly about fighting but you fall deep for it. The characters and their development are amazing. Tho the end might kill you.

Blind is a must-watch. No words to waste. Just watch it to find your inner peace. Thank you.

Taejun's really out there thinking that these scenes were a good idea
