Family By Choice

This series hooked me from episode 1. They family dynamics, the relations between the children felt real. The circumstances that bring these people together, are heartbreaking, but they love they feel for each other is uplifting. I liked how the children became teens and later young adults. Their relationship with each other and their paths. The ending is not an ending, it's just another day in their lives. And we hope that Hae Joon and Dal have a great relationship, a strong one that will stand against her mother. We hope that San Ha's mother will finally find peace and leave the young man be. This family by choice is sweet and I enjoyed witnessing the story unfold.

Rampant (2018)

I keep track of every movie I watch and make a point to write a review for it to grow my library but also to see how my feelings and tastes change over time. When I saw Rampant four years ago, I gave it 3.5/5. I saw that it received mixed critical reviews and couldn’t understand why. Now, I do.

Set during the Joseon dynasty, a plot to overthrow King Lee Jo (Kim Rui-Sung) accidentally releases a plague in a nearby village. The infected turn into highly contagious, flesh-eating 'night demons'. As their numbers grow, Crown Prince Lee Chung (Hyun Bin) and his companion Hak-soo (Jeong Man-sik) must contain this threat while schemers attempt to topple the throne.

I will grant Rampant that the production is first-rate. A lot of zombie films are made on the cheap but not this one. There are A LOT of zombies, with fairly elaborate makeup (no memorable designs, but they’re also not that kind of zombies). The action is set hundreds of years ago, so they couldn’t use any modern costumes or locations. Everything had to be built. The setting automatically makes this film different from most of the ones you’ve seen before. There are primitive guns, but this is not a movie where “Go for the head!” applies. There are bows and arrows but those aren’t as effective either; most combat involves edge weapons. The stakes are also different. A good chunk of the film has the palace overrun with “night demons”, with Prince Lee Chung and his allies trying to keep them contained so they cannot attack the surrounding city and spread to the entire country. Then, there’s the political stuff, which adds some human villains that don’t feel superfluous to the plot - they’re the ones who caused the plague. Even when things get apocalyptic, Minister Kim (Jang Dong-gun) and his cronies aren’t giving up their quest for more power.

I saw all that the first time I viewed Rampant and somehow, it made me overlook the characters. There’s no one to like in this movie. You might think that’s deliberate when we meet Prince Lee Chung, who’s been convinced to leave his womanizing over in Qing (China) to come over. At first, he only cares about someone if he can lure them into his bedroom (don’t get excited, there’s no sex or nudity in this film whatsoever) but over time readies himself to take on the responsibilities he’ll inherit with the throne. No. What I mean is that you won’t like anyone because they’re all boring. Even our protagonist. He essentially turns into a completely different person once he sees the zombies and while his skirt-chasing was annoying, at least it made him stand out. The same can’t be said for the badass survivors he meets when he lands in Jemulpo. You won’t be able to remember a thing about them the second they walk off-camera. That might be better than the worst character in the entire film, Prince Lee Chung’s companion, Hak-Su. Why director Kim Sung-hoon or writer Hwang Jo-yoon decided to include a comedic sidekick in this horror/action/thriller, I have no idea. At one point, he’s being attacked by zombies. It would take a miracle for him to make it out alive, and one of the last things he says to his companion is “Watch out for dog shit on the street”. If the character doesn’t care about his situation, why should we? As for the villains, they're important in theory, but once the plague gets out of control, all of them get wiped out and Minister Kim doesn't matter anymore. The things that interested us at first are all get taken away.

As a zombie movie, Rampant fails because it never does the thing you expect zombie movies to do, the thing that makes them effective: It never has someone meaningful to the main character turn or get bitten so they can feel conflicted about what's about to happen. In theory, the film has high stakes but in execution, everything feels low-key. One of the main reasons being that there are only about three scares in the whole movie and none of them appear past the halfway mark. The pieces to make a great, memorable and unique zombie movie were here but you couldn’t tell by the end result.

And now, I find myself in a strange position. The first time I viewed Rampant, I had a good time. During this second viewing, I just kept getting madder and madder at Prince Lee Chung and Hak-Su. I suddenly noticed all of the movie’s flaws. It just shows that moods and tastes change but can I recommend the film, or can’t I? I'm not sure but let me put it this way: I’m not watching Rampant a third time to get a tie-breaker review. (Original Korean with English subtitles, September 6, 2024)

LOVE ALL PLAY// KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı : 7,7 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Love All Play / Going to You at a Speed of 493km (literal title)

Hangul: 너에게 가는 속도 493km

Director: Jo Woong

Writer: Heo Sung-Hye

Date: 2022

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Park Ju-Hyun, Chae Jong-Hyeop, Park Ji-Hyun, Kim Mu-Jun, Seo Ji-Hye, Jo Han-Chul, Jeon Bae-Su, Lee Ji-Hyun

Webtoon uyarlaması olan bu dizi direk beklentilerin üzerinde başlıyor. Spor konulu dizilere göre biraz daha karanlık bir yapıya sahip olmasıyla benzerlerinden de ayrılıyor. Yine de bir “Weightlifting fairy kim book joo” olamamış olsa da bağımsız olarak beklediğimden daha iyi bir diziydi.

Park Tae-Joon (Chae Jong-Hyeop) badminton malzemeleri mağazası olan bir ailenin oğludur. Spor onun için sadece bir iştir. Bir takıma, spor kulübüne girmek ve düzenli para almak. Dümdüz beklentisiz, sadece yapabildiği için yaptığı bir şeydir. Park Tae-Yang(Park Ju-Hyun) ise olimpiyatlarda oynamış ancak kişisel sebeplerle bir anda ortadan kaybolup takımı yüzüstü bırakmış bir badminton öğrencisidir. Bir yıl aradan sonra okula geri döner. Herkesi yar�� yolda bırakmış olmasından dolayı hiç kimse onu hoş karşılamaz. Gidişinin üzerine çıkan rüşvet skandalı da tuz biber olmuştur.

Kızımızın sporu bırakmasının nedeni çok uzun süre gizemini korurken bir miktar sıkılıyorsunuz. Ama geri dönüşü, tekrar aynı performansına kavuşmaya çalışması ve arkadaşları ile arasını düzeltme çabası dizinin konusunu oluşturuyor. Bu süre zarfında Park Tae-Joon da kendini keşfedip, yaptığı sporu kişiselleştirmeye kendini keşfetmeye başlıyor. İkilinin arasındaki etkileşim göz dolduruyordu. Ayrıca oldukça yakıştıklarını da söylemeliyim.

Uzun uzadıya anlatabilecek bir konusu yok, hayattan bir kesit ve gençlerin kendini bulma yolculuğu olarak düşünebilirsiniz. Takım koçu Lee Tae-Sang karakteri ile başarılı oyuncu Jo Han-Chul’u izliyoruz. Oldukça renkli ve eğlenceli bir karaktere hayat veriyor. Oyuncuyu severim, karakterini de sevdiğimi söyleyebilirim. Koçun kızı Lee Yoo-Min (Seo Ji-Hye)’de farklı bir takımda aynı şekilde badminton oyuncusu.

Park Joon-Young rolü ile Park Ji-Hyun’u izliyoruz. Dizinin bir diğer gizemli karakteri. Gizemli olduğu kadar sevimsiz olduğunu söylemeliyim. Yumi's Cells dizisinde de oldukça sinir bozucu bir roldeydi. Sanırım bu tarz roller ona yapışıp kalacak gibi görünüyor. Ve Park Joon-Young ‘un eski sevgilisi Yook Jung-Hwan(Kim Mu-Jun) olimpiyatlarda oynayan şımarık bir genç. Tıpkı Park Tae-Yang gibi tam zirvedeyken ortadan kaybolan Park Joon-Young etrafındakilerle ilişkisini bir anda kesmiş. Onun kaybolma nedeni o kadarda gizemli değil ama izlerken görün diye detaya inmeyeceğim. İlişkisini kestiği insanlar arasında sevgilisi de olunca, bu kabul etmesi zor bir durum halini almış.

Sonuç olarak dizinin farkındalık adına duyar kasması biraz abartılmış olsa da ben beğendim. Vicdan azabı ve gizem temaları beni de bir süre darladı. Yine de izlemeye değer bir hikayeydi. Tabi bu ne kadar bir süre akılda kalıcı olur bilmiyorum. Bazı diziler izlerken keyif verse de bir süre sonra insanın hafızasından siliniyor, çok yer etmiyor.

I am so glad the new kdramas are bringing back the specific brand of loser men. You know which brand I'm talking about. The Ahn "min min" Minhyuk brand of loser men and I'm loving it. The "I worship this goddess and I'm so in love with her and I can't believe I get to love her. Oh my gods I love her so much" brand of loser men. And we're being fed so well with lovely runner, love next door, no gain no love, my demon, Cinderella at 2am, Hierarchy, Midnight Romance in Hagwon, doctor slump, Queen of tears, welcome to samdal-ri and even good partner (yes it's one sided but the dedication and yuri's couple too).

We need more fictional loser men who worship women to satiate our eldest independent daughter desires.

Rampant (2018)

If you’re interested in a period piece zombie film set in Korea but you don’t have the time to sit down and watch an entire season of Netflix’s The Kingdom, then Rampant is the movie for you. Movies about legions of undead terrorizing hapless citizens have been done countless times but this take offers something fresh.

Set during the Joseon dynasty, a plot to overthrow King Lee Jo (Kim Rui-Sung) accidentally releases a plague in a nearby village that turns people into highly contagious, flesh-eating 'night demons'. As their numbers grows, the crown prince Lee Chung (Hyun Bin) and his companion Hak-soo (Jeong Man-sik) must face this threat while schemers move ever closer to toppling the throne.

While many zombie films are made on the cheap, Rampant has a sizeable budget. The period setting is a nice way to mix things up visually and provides some spice to the formula. These zombies can be taken out with a blow to the head or heart and unlike most other stories, firearms are extremely rare. What does that mean? Swordsmen vs. zombies. That’s pretty cool. The excitement doesn't stop there. Escape is out of the question. Communication with the outside is nothing like what we have today. The infected are also given a couple of rules/weaknesses to keep your hopes up and things interesting. Movies of the zombie genre usually have a fairly standard plot and ultimately, it comes down to whether the conclusion is satisfying. Without giving too much away, this picture's is.

What sets Rampant apart is the stuff outside of the zombie apocalypse, however. To the backstabbing officials, this disaster is merely another opportunity. Even that’s not entirely novel. Many zombie stories reveal that humans are much worse than the flesh-eaters who rise from their graves. This won't even cross your mind while watching. You’ll just be concerned about whether Lee Chung will realize the real enemy is Ki Ja-joon (Jang Dong-gun) before it’s too late.

At 121 minutes, Rampant is too long. Some characters could’ve been combined to give their deaths (or survival) more meaning. The action scenes also tend to overstay their welcome. If you cut down zombies left and right it’s awesome at first but the more you cut down, the less of a threat they become.

Rampant offers a nice breath of fresh air while delivering what you want to see in a zombie movie. The ghouls are threatening, the swordplay and sieges keep you on edge and the political scheming bridges the gaps nicely - you may even find it more interesting than the monsters. It runs long and some of its time could’ve been better spent expanding on the characters. Though the sequel it wants to tell isn’t going to happen thanks to disappointing box-office results, Rampant still work as a standalone piece. (Original Korean with English subtitles, May 29, 2020)
