The Moon

Movies watched in 2023

Director & Writer: Kim Yong Hwa

Mini-review:

I love space movies, especially when they're well-made, and The Moon pretty much ticks all the boxes for me. Tbh, the story is not original at all, and I feel like we've seen it in many other films over the last decade. Luckily, the director made sure to keep things as engaging and entertaining as possible. On top of that, the production values are fantastic. I have never seen better CGI in a Korean movie, and the sets are just stunning. That being said, the thing that truly carries this movie is the acting. This cast is full of top-notch actors, but the clear standout is Do Kyungsoo. He goes all in with his performance, and he's the main reason why you care about everything that happens. So, to sum up, The Moon offered me all that I wanted from it: a well-acted and enjoyable popcorn movie about space.

Title: #OhMyBaby

Main Cast: #JangNaRa #GOJUN #ParkByungEun #JungGunJoo

Episodes: 16

Platforrms: #Netflix #Viki

Pretty cute rom com though Jang Na Ra was definitely the star of the show. Some of the male characters were annoying, the third wheel character played by Park Byung Eun was especially annoying, I just couldn't stand him at all. The ML was okay though to me he tried to hard in acting emotional or emotionless. The story was decent but I guess I just don't get the stigma about artificial insemination and sperm donation in Korea because it's normalized here. Also the whole culture of marriage and family is really conservative in Korea which I find frustrating in their attitudes toward more unconventional family types. And the fact adoption wasn't even on the table like it's taboo or something I don't get at all. It really was an emotional rollercoaster for the characters but the main couple ended up being very loyal toward one another. It had a happy ending thank goodness. P.S. watch past the credits to get the real ending 🤫 I would definitely recommend as long as you can get past some of the cultural issues presented that are consservative compared to some cultures. Meaning a lot of the problems presented are non issues in a country like the US

Oh My Baby. 7

Story: 7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: Jo Jo’s World (twdrama ) Birthcare Center (kdrama)

As does a lot of dramas in this genre it starts out with a bang but then starts to fizzles out around midway. This is a cute romcom in a way that could’ve been much better if the writers didn’t stretch it out nor go that predictable cliche route that they did. Nonetheless it’s a Jang Na Ra series so for me she always brings her A game and in this she just as awesome.

SL characters as movie stars AU!

Sung Jin-woo

has been acting since he was a teenager. Though, he only gets lesser roles until he grows in the acting industry, thus earning the "glow up" as well the more he takes on roles. By the time he's in his twenties, Jin-woo receives lead roles and has never left ever since due to the impact of his performance that is hard to be seen as a supporting character. His movies range from drama, adventure, and action — though, he spend most of his time in the action genre. Jin-woo does his own stunts as he does martial arts and working out as his hobbies. Whenever he gets partnered up with someone, dating rumors always spark up, so he tends to avoid having a partner for the sake of protecting his zone. He improvises some of his lines and is very professional.

Cha Hae-in

a former athlete to one of the country's biggest stars. Due to her sweetheart persona, she often gets roles in soap operas, dramas, and romance, though she wants to take on the action genre to hone her skills. Her management got her stunt doubles, much to her dismay, until they trusted her enough to do her own stunts. Hae-in's skills are very realistic that every time she cries in her scenes, several of the production cry as well, thus allowing her to earn many awards. She gets along with her co-workers and is even said to be that some of her leading men develop a crush on her. However, she has not dated at least one of them, even outside her career, as she chooses to focus on her job.

Woo Jin-chul

a star who has been featured in international movies, hence becoming a multilingual because of his passion in learning new languages before his departure from South Korea. He is usually stern, but is very friendly to his co-workers, as well as his fans. Jin-chul takes on both protagonist and antagonist roles, although he secretly likes his villain roles more than his hero ones. He does his own stunts and is skillful with holding guns.

Choi Jong-in

most of his roles are those wherein he's the son of a millionaire or just a rich person who owns a big company. He hardly gets main roles, but the impact in his performances even as a supporting character are what made him prominent in the industry. Jong-in also has roles where he's an antagonist, which his fans prefer more; it is also said that some of his castmates or co-workers feel quite intimidated by him.

Baek Yoon-ho

a prominent action star who does his own stunts. Not once he has appeared in movies that are anything but action. Despite being in his twenties, Yoon-ho receive roles where he is a single father who will do anything to protect his family, thus capturing the hearts of the young actors and actresses he works with. He also helps his castmates in training for fighting scenes, thus forming a bond with them as well. Yoon-ho has his own charity that he donates a sufficient amount of money in for helping tigers and other wild animals.

Lee Ju-hee

one of the industry's dearest sweethearts. Her movies are mostly in the slice of life genre, specifically romance. Regardless of what she believes, Ju-hee never fails to create chemistry with the ones she works with, especially to those who have partnered up with her. She receives both main and supporting roles. Lee Ju-hee may have appeared in horror and action films, but she prefers to stay in the slice of life genre despite not minding to step out of her comfort zone.

Lim Tae-gyu

a actor whose roles are primarily supporting, yet has many main roles as well. His skill ranges from drama, comedy, and action. Tae-gyu mostly does his own stunts, always allotting his time in training once he receives the script. He's charismatic, yet isn't necessarily great when it comes to romantic chemistry because of the vibe he frequently gives out. He's friends with many famous stars such as Baek Yoon-ho, Choi Jong-in, Ma Dong-wook, Min Byung-gyu, Sung Jin-woo, and Cha Hae-in, and has revealed of his wish of being able to be in the same film as them together.

Min Byung-gyu

an actor who has shown up in various genres. When it comes to slice of life, Byung-gyu mostly gets leading roles, and sometimes, he gets the "second male lead" roles, which brings more impact to the viewers. But as for other genres like action and horror, Byung-gyu takes on supporting roles; he is one of the actors who has a stunt double and still gets to do certain stunts depending on his capability. And when it comes to the historical genre, that is when Byung-gyu gets most excited and believes he does his roles better in period dramas than the rest, partly because he is a big fan of historical dramas which he views his other roles differently. Byung-gyu is great at improvising his lines that the director only has to tell him the background of the scene and Byung-gyu knows what to do next, which somehow makes some actors feel challenged as they are not sure if they can go along with Byung-gyu's improvised lines. But, Byung-gyu always does his best to help his co-stars and not make them feel pressured.

Eun-seok

one of the country's lesser known actors who is known for getting background roles. Eun-seok hardly appears in films, yet is friends with a lot of big stars in the industry. The reason being that he got severely injured in set once, which has scarred him and chose to no longer show up in filming unless he feels like doing so.

Yoo Jin-ho

a supporting actor who is well-known for being Sung Jin-woo's "sidekick" as he had been acting alongside him for years. Yoo Jin-ho specializes in roles that are comedic relief — he doesn't mind it since that means he doesn't have a lot of lines to memorize. Despite being an actor himself, Jin-ho is not afraid to unleash his inner "fanboy" when it comes to expressing his support in actors and actresses he admires.

Park Hee-jin

an actress who is known for her background or supporting roles. Hee-jin excels from soap operas to action movies. Her roles are usually helping the main character and defending them from the antagonist(s).

Ma Dong-wook

a versatile actor in his fifties who has different roles in various genres, whether it be a father or someone the main characters seek help from. He shares his experiences to his fellow stars as his way of helping them in filming and has a lot of actors/actresses wishing to act in the same movie as him; not because of his talent, but also his kind nature that he treats everyone younger than him as his children.

Liu Zhigang

China's rising action star. A likeable and charming actor whose roles are both protagonist and antagonist. Zhigang does his own stunts and likes to go to the extreme where no editing shall be involved. He's one of the faces in the industry whose management cannot simply allow to be part of a film unless the paycheck is immense and does not tarnish Zhigang's talent. In every film he is in, it receives many awards that reach up to internationals. Zhigang has acted in international films, which makes him fluent in English after being casted alongside stars in different countries.

Thomas Andre

a powerful actor in the USA who is popular for his antagonistic roles. Thomas enjoys playing the bad guy. And what makes him likeable is that he donates half of his money to charities and has his own foundation for children with special needs and disabilities. He is funny and tends to joke around in set, along in conventions where he gets to communicate with fans and gives them the best time in their lives.

Laura

an actress who excels most in the action genre. She films her scenes effortlessly and smoothly without needing a second take. Laura learns martial arts off-screen and knows how to hold a gun; she is also sassy and has the kind of humor that makes her co-stars adore working with her despite her stern and cold demeanor.

Goto Ryuji

a versatile actor in Japan who appears in dramas and action. His roles are mostly in the villain side, which what makes him intimidating to other actors. Goto prefers to work with those who are professional and hardly messes up more than twice otherwise he thinks they are wasting his time. However, he is usually gently to those who are younger and new to the acting industry, he looks out for them and won't hesitate to scold the production if the first time actors ever get hurt in set.

BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST LIFE // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı: 8,1 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Because This Is My First Life / This Life Is Our First

Hangul: 이번 생은 처음이라

Director: Park Joon-Hwa

Writer: Yoon Nan-Joong

Date: 2017

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Lee Min-Ki, Jung So-Min, Kim Min-Kyu

Tam bir “Slice of life “diyebileceğimiz sakin bir dizi. Konusunu kısaca anlatayım: Yoon Ji Ho (Jung So Min) 30lu yaşlarında Seul'e hayallerini gerçekleştirmek için gelmiş genç bir kadındır. Dizi yazarlığı yapmaya çalışırken, işini ve düzenini oturtma çabasındadır. Ucuz kalacak bir yere ihtiyacı vardır. Üç kişilik kız arkadaş grubu etrafında dönen hikayemizde kızlardan birinin tanıdığının tanıdığı ev arkadaşı aramaktadır.  Nam Se Hee'nin (Lee Min Ki) ise bir şirkette çalışan gelecekten tek beklentisi 'hayatında hiçbir şey olmaması' olan bir adamdır. Bankadan uzun yıllar ödemesi gereken ev kredi çekerek, ev sahibi olmuştur. Hem faturalarını hemde kredisini ödeyebilmesi için ev arkadaşı alması gerekmektedir. Ama son derece sinir bozucu olan tavrı nedeni ile gelen kiracıları çok geçmeden kovmaktadır. Kiracılarını bir süre gözlemleyip, puanlama sisteminden geçirmektedir. Bütün hayatı dakik yaşarken bütün planlarını evdeki isim bile vermediği kedisinin beslenme saatine göre ayarlar. Son kiracısını kovduktan sonra hem patronu hem de arkadaşı olan Ma Sang-Goo (Park Byung-Eun) ona ev arkadaşı bulmak zorunda kalır. Böylece iki tarafta ikinci kişilerle iletişime geçtiği için ev sahibi erkek birinin geleceğini, kiracı ise ev sahibinin kadın olduğunu düşünür. Aslında aracılarında haberi yoktur. Klişe ama tesadüf diyelim.

Yoon Ji-Ho, daha önceki bütün kiracılardan yüksek not alarak, adeta mükemmel kiracı olunca, Nam Se-Hee onunla olan bu anlaşmasını sürdürmeye karar verir. Böylece hikayeye giriş yapmış oluruz. Dizi boyunca klişelerin etrafında dolaşan ama o klişenin içine düşmeyen bir hikaye örgüsü vardı. Erkek karakterimiz kızla tanıştıktan sonra hiç değişmedi. Burada fikrimi söyleyecek olursam, değişmemesi her ne kadar güzel bir yan olsa da, en baştan oluşturulan karakteri biraz zorlama buldum. Sanki sosyal bozukluğu olan, psikolojik rahatsızlıklar içinde yüzen bir adam gibi resmetmişler ama böyle bir rol vermemişler. Mükemmel erkek tipi yaratılmamış olsa da yaratılan da çok normal bir tip değildi. Realisttik yaklaşmaya çalışıp, daha çok uzaklaşmışlar gibiydi.

Dizi ilişkiler üzerine tam bir inceleme tadında olmuş. Bu diziyi izlemek ilişki ve evlilik üzerine yazılmış bir kitabı okumak gibiydi. Evlilik, ailelerin evlilik üzerine çiftlere etkisi, ilişkilerdeki ince çizgiler, evliliğin zorlukları gibi bir çok alt başlık açıyor ve sorguluyor. Ji-Ho nun kız arkadaşı grubu, 3 farklı ilişki izlememize vesile oluyor. Üç çift üzerinden farkları, ortak noktaları önümüze seriyor. Özellikle herkesin kendine ait bir alanı olması gerektiğini vurgulayan “19 numaralı oda” hikayesi dizinin en hoşuma giden kısmı oldu.

Dizide ana çifti anlatan en doğru kelime “garip” olabilir. Bu garipliği de erkek karakteri çok abartılı yazmış olmalarına bağlıyorum. İnsanlara havadan bakan, sosyal becerisi olmayan, mesai saati bitince sadece kedisini beslemek için eve giden. Belli bir saat televizyon izleyip yatan, ertesi günü aynı şekilde tekrar tekrar yaşan bir adam. Bu bağlamda bana karakterle ilgili hiçbir duygu geçmedi diyebilirim. Kore dizilerin büyük birçoğunda hep çok güzel seven adamlar izliyoruz. Bizi bir yerde tutup diziye bağlamayı başaran da bu olabilir. Ama bu dizide çok güzel seven taraf kız tarafıydı. Diğer dizilerden ayıran belki de bu olabilir.

Dizi “biz” kelimesinin insana çok şey anlatabileceğini vurgularken, verdiği mesaj ise; “Hayatı bir kere yaşıyorsunuz. Kendiniz olun kendiniz için yaşayın ve tadını çıkartın.”

Movies watched in 2023

Dream (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Lee Byeong Heon

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be very honest: I hate football/soccer and, initially, I only wanted to watch this because I adore IU. So, color me surprised, cause I enjoyed it a lot. I should have seen it coming tbh, cause I've always liked this type of inspirational-underdog storylines. Anyway, the characters were engaging, the script was really funny and witty, and the whole cast was great. IU does steal the show, proving that she has a natural knack for fast-paced comedy and one-liners (I swear I'm not being biased here). But all the other actors do an amazing job too! My only real complain is that the movie felt a tad too long, and the final act dragged a bit. But, besides that, I had a lot of fun watching it and I would definitely recommend it!

Solo Leveling Next Gen AU Headcanons

These are mostly personal headcanons to explain a few things about the AU of the next gen OC's, including some timelines for the kids and their parents (just want to give some kind of logic to it)

Open to questions/suggestions for anything not mentioned

The adopted children who are awakened (Choibaek's kids and Hoshino Taiyo) absorb some of the mana from their parents over time, so their powers tend to resemble the powers of their parents (All three of Choibaek's kids are some sort of control over fire while Hoshino Taiyo is a ranger like Lim Tae-Gyu)

Timeline of when each kid was introduced to the others (this is mostly for me since I've lost track a few times-)

- Eun-Seok and Park Hee-Jin have their first child (Guen Tae-Il) - Sung Jin-Woo and Cha Hae-In have their child (Sung Su-Ho) - Baek Yoon-Ho and Choi Jong-In adopt Baek Seok-Jin and Choi Je-ni - Hoshino Minoru and Lim Tae-Gyu adopt Hoshino Taiyo and Hoshino Kira - Baek Yoon-Ho and Choi Jong-In adopt Baek Mi-Ho - Eun-Seok and Park Hee-Jin have their second child (Guen Jae-Kyung) - Min Byung-Gyu and Lee Ju-Hee have their child (Min Beom-Ryu)

Order of when the couples started dating: Minlee, Jinhae, Choibaek, Taenoru, Heeseok

Order the couples got married in: Jinhae, Choibaek, Taenoru, Minlee, Heeseok

(The order of the couples may be changed later, but that's what I have in mind for now)

[femme11fatale]

*Contains spoilers. 

I binge-watched Eve recently, and I just want to take a moment to say how incredibly stunning I found the main FL, Lee Rael, played by Seo Yea-ji. She looked beautiful in almost every scene, and in every outfit she was in (I had wardrobe envy!) I just couldn’t keep my eyes off her every time she was on screen! 

Onto the show itself, I know a lot of people weren’t feeling the ending and if I’m honest, it could have been better. BUT…. I enjoyed the watch. I thought the FL was excellent in her acting, although it was a little predictable that she was going to fall for the ML, but I was quite riveted to the plot and Lee Rael's journey towards getting her revenge, cheering her on. She also makes a number of quite memorable, dramatic entrances which I totally loved! 

The chaebol ML, Kang Yoon-geum played by Park Byung-Eun, is another matter altogether, and I really do not know how he allowed himself to get so whipped by a woman who screamed ‘red flag’ from the offset. I mean, I get her agenda, but I don’t know how a married man allows himself to get drawn in by someone who clearly didn’t give a fuck about anyone seeing her screwing her husband! I was eye-rolling throughout all the scenes watching the ML eyeing her up and getting jealous!

Whilst the FL oozed sex appeal, intelligence and sass, and had me gawking at her through 16 episodes in awe, the ML (aside from his moments with the bandoneon where the show tries to give him some depth), seemed to have the personality and charm of a damp squib. I could not understand how the FL ever fell for him for real, because for me, the guy was punching well above his weight!

Quick mentions to one of the ‘villains’ of the show, our ML’s actual wife, Han So-ra, played by Yoo-Sun, who does an incredible job in her role and it was highly entertaining to watch her smash up furniture, having meltdowns at almost every episode, and also to the second ML, Seo Eun-pyung, played by Lee Sang-Yeob, who has an absolute heart of gold, being there on the sidelines for the FL from start to end, and would have been a worthy choice for Lee Rael’s heart. 

All in all, this show gets an 7/10 from me, as despite wanting the FL to get her revenge (which she does), I couldn’t help but want her to have a happy ending with the ML, simply because I am partial to romantic happy endings, especially one against the odds…
