Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area (Part II)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2022

Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area (Part II, 2022, South Korea)

Director: Kim Hong Sun

Writers: Ryu Yong Jae, Kim Hwan Chae & Choe Sung Jun

Mini-review:

I feel like I was one of the few people that really enjoyed Part I and actually preferred it to the original. I hated the writing in the original show (I am a native Spanish speaker) and couldn't make it past the first few episodes, even though I found the story interesting. Now, thanks to this Korean remake, at least I can see how said story develops. Just like in the first part, this is a really fun and entertaining thriller with great acting, even if it requires you to suspend your disbelief a lot of the time. I'm really glad the writers wrapped up pretty much every plot thread, cause it makes the show a very satisfying watch. Like I said, the cast is amazing, but special kudos go to Park Hae Soo, who's clearly one of the best actors in the world.

Kill Boksoon

Kill Boksoon    [trailer]

A single mother who is a renowned hired killer finds it difficult to achieve a balance between her personal and work life.

The official summary is much more accurate than the action heavy trailer which can be considered misleading. This is slightly more social drama than action movie, even if Boksoon's indeed a contract killer and there are a number of fight scenes. Which explains the presence of character actress Jeon Do-yeon.

But because the movie spends considerable time with her problems of raising her kid it has the effect that it makes you think about the implications of Boksoon's profession. Movies like John Wick firmly take place in movie land, which makes it considerably easier to accept the violence. But once that illusion is broken, it gets more difficult to "enjoy" the killings. The opening sequence with the samurai still feels "cool". But then, for example, the later meetings of the killer organisation were difficult for me to take seriously in light of the social conflict.

Unlock My Boss episodes 5&6

The more I watch this show the more I fall for it. It doesn't happen to me often, to have a slow start and keep watching regardless. I honestly thought I was going to stop watching it after episode 2. Then I went back to it when I was bored and I was like "okay, this is getting somewhere". Even now, before I watching episodes 5&6 I didn't even feel like it. I just forced myself to start episode 5 because I don't want to have piled up unfinished drama.

And here I am, liking it more and more. It took 3 minutes of episode 5 to draw me back in. For some reason when there are new episodes out I don't feel immediately compelled to watch them, I sort of dread it. But then I watch and my comfort switch turns on. Granted, there is some angst in this, but for the most part it just takes my mind away from stressful daily issues. It doesn't require a huge amount of focus. It doesn't demand my attention like Reborn Rich does. It makes me feel at peace watching, the pace is easy-going. Despite the long episodes, it doesn't tire me out after watching two in a row.

I keep falling for all of the characters too. At first they felt so "default", just plain. But with time I keep discovering new things to like about them.

I don't know, I can't quite wrap my finger around it, but I like it. It's therapeutic.

Lovely runner makers saw the audience appreciating the loser behaviour and said, "Here, have two." 😩😩😩😩😩

[haomnyangz]

It must be hell. A hell you can never escape from. I know because I'm down there too. So if you have time to cry, make those bastards who did this burn in hell. That's the only way to survive it.

THE DEVIL JUDGE (2021) Director Choi Jung-kyu

[anotherfanaccount]

Lovely Runner had the perfect run. The whole premise of it being a fantasy romcom was perfectly written, perfectly executed with a beautiful cast.

Sunjae and Sol were fated to be each other's soulmate. Their love blooms from their soul. So deep the bond that fates intervened when evils of society cut their time short. And in all of this the grandma was their fairy godmother.

The writers really need to be applauded because this was the sweetest and in the same time such a simple story. Timeloop dramas get loopy because logic but there's nothing stopping this magic. It was so well done truly.

Every scene you will think you can predict the direction will surprise you. Sometimes it's just belly aching laughter, Sometimes pure angst, Sometimes happiness that is a smile from ear to ear.

Thank you to the actors too. Actors who really bring in a personality beyond the writing and make the works more valuable have my whole heart.

When A Man Loves

“I may not be a good man, but I’m still your brother.”

[my-drama-heart2406]

So I'm so excited about Death's game. I really am. I remember reading the manhwa and every chapter had me gripping my phone in excitement.

But the only thing strange is that they cast Seo In Guk as Choi Yijae.

(Yes I'm sure he's going to deliver like he always does. And have you seen the cast? Man this is an expensive show! And each actor is going to play at max 2 episodes.)

Like Choi Yijae, at the beginning of the manhwa, was shown to be the most average of average guys. Not exceptional in any field.

Average height. Average looks. Not tall and not good looking. This fact, was put a lot of importance on, because it was an important part of his character.

And, I don't know... it's kind of really wrong 😂 that they cast *Seo In Guk* to play a guy that is "not tall and not good looking".
