Ballerina

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.

What is your top 10 hotties from dramaland?

Oh you know I will take any chance to thirst over dramaland hotties. Actually ranking them is so hard though. This is one situation where I would want to give participation prizes for everyone. Everyone is a winner because they're so hot hahaha. But if I really HAD to rank them...

Zhou Yiwei as Xiao Qi in The Rebel Princess

Omg the thirst WAS REAL early 2021 when I first laid eyes on Zhou Yiwei in The Rebel Princess. Wheeeew, there was no shame at all. It's not just the way he looks but also the character himself that makes him my number 1 hottie. Ugh, the way he wielded all his big weapons and his long locks flowing in the wind as he rode in on his horse to save the day. How calm he was in handling everything except whenever it came to Awu or his men. OMG and his chemistry with Awu was just outrageous. It felt voyeuristic watching those two fall in love. I can go on and on and on.

2. Jang Hyuk as Dae Gil in Chuno

Omg Dae Gil, Dae Gil, Dae Gil. Naïve noble young lord who fell in love with a slave turned jaded fucked up slave hunter with amazing pecs and abs obsessively looking for the girl he fell in love with when he was 16. I mean, what's not to love?! That intensity that Jang Hyuk brings to all his characters is especially delicious here. Ahh and all the angst and pain and sacrifice ILOVEHIMILOVEHIMILOVEHIM.

3. Darren Wang as Wolf Boy/Prince Bo in The Wolf

SEX ON LEGS. THE END. I may have been even more shameless in thirsting over Wolf Boy than I was with Xiao Qi. Why isn't he number 1 then? Well, whereas Xiao Qi is wonderful husband material while still being a competent as hell general/murder machine, Wolf Boy is the hot bastard you meet at a sketchy dive bar who you take home for an ill-advised night of great fun. I don't know if being husband material makes you hotter but I guess for this list it does. I don't know!

Cut to save you from all the gifs. More thirst awaits behind the cut!

4. Chen Kun as Ning Yi in The Rise of the Phoenixes

THIS MAN IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SMOLDERS ONSCREEN LIKE HIS LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.  So brilliant, so ruthless, so tragic.  And when he lets his hair down?!  Ugh, I can’t.  The only reason why he isn’t higher is because he’s TOO BEAUTIFUL in a very untouchable way.

5. Kimura Takuya as Haru in Pride

Teenage me took one look at Kimura Takuya as Haru and went YES.  He’s probably only this high because of nostalgia but WHATEVER. It doesn’t matter that Kimura Takuya is maybe 130 pounds max at any given moment.  The jdrama told me he was an ace hockey player and I went “Yes he is!”  This was peak jdrama romance for me. I mean a playboy who doesn’t believe in love falling in love with a traditional woman while fake dating according to the rules of his own game? Yes please!

6. Kim Moo Yeol as Hot Banker in My Beautiful Bride

I’m sure he has an actual name but I don’t know it because he’s always been Hot Banker to me.  I’ve been to many banks, seen many bankers, and never in my life have I ever seen one as hot as Hot Banker. Talk about setting unrealistic expectations. Ooooof I love his one track mindedness in his love for his bride and never stopping until he gets her back...IT FEEDS MY SOUL.  He also works out a lot and the drama makers were kind enough to show us his work out routine onscreen and bless them for that.

7. Ji Sung as Kang Yohan in The Devil Judge

Gay daddy Rochester does modern vengeance kdrama all while looking fucking hot and brooding in suits and loose blouses. Ji Sung is so daddy in this role, the state is looking for him to pay child support.

8. William Chan as hot masochist shifu in novoland pearl eclipse

Hot masochist shifu with a toxic homoerotic relationship with a psycho emperor whom you want to fuck. He’s THE hot shifu you want to fuck to top all hot shifus (or maybe in his case, bottom?).  His character was as hot as the drama was messy/bad.  OOF.

9. Jin Han as Feng Xi in Twisted Fate of Love

Hot bastard you want to fuck who only melts for his otp. My attraction to Jin Han is irrational and 100% hormone driven.  I have watched so many crap/questionable dramas for this man. SO MANY.

10. Kim Nam Gil as Bi Dam in Queen Seondeok

Kim Nam Gil on any given day is worth thirsting over but especially with that long hair as Bi Dam. I mean come on, abandoned son of the antagonist queen who falls for the new queen/rightful ruler? The dangerous and cutthroat man with questionable morals who throws it all away for his otp and literally fights through an entire army just to see her again?! His character was totally made to turn me on! I couldn’t find any gifs to do him justice so please enjoy this clip of his last scene where he cuts through an army to reach his lover and falls just short of touching her before he dies.

10. Yoon Sang Hyun as Oska in Secret Garden

OG kdrama himbo with a heart of gold who turns out to be the best bro ever.  He was such a hot dummy, even Lee Jong Suk’s snooty hipster songwriter couldn’t help but fall for him.  Yoon Sang Hyun is such an underrated hottie, it’s a crime.

10. Cha Seung Won as Jo Kook in City Hall

Hot bastard you want to fuck who reforms himself for his otp and tries to be a better man for her. Cha Seung Won is already naturally so hot to me but add onto that his crazy hot chemistry with Kim Sun Ah? 🥵 They were so adult and it was so great. Special shout out to his role in Athena: Goddess of War for being the hottest evil bastard in that mess of a drama.

10. Jung Kyung Ho as Dr’s Son in Cruel City

Look, Jung Kyung Ho is as skinny as a bean pole but he was just so sexy and dangerous in this drama! Wheeeew and that love scene with Nam Gyuri.

Special Category: hottie not from an Asian drama - Uraz Kaygilaroglu as Kartal in Uc Kurus

Pictures don’t do him justice, his entire vibe as this character is so hot to me. You know you’re hot when you can make this monstrous bleach blond look sexy. I think Uc Kurus was my first foray into Turkish shows (it’s either this or Destan) and it was all because of Kartal. What’s not to like about a Romani mafioso who is perhaps on the wrong side of the law but is also someone who does everything he can to protect his loved ones and his community and is a bit damaged? He makes a very good case for slumming it!

Some special mentions that didn’t quite make the top 10:

Joo Won’s insane abs in Alice

Lee Dong Wook in anything and everything

Lee Soo Hyuk’s frequent flyer abs in The Scholar Who Walks the Night

Nam Goong Min’s everything in the first episode of The Veil

[pandawandagalaxy]

The ending of 'Behind your touch', agghhhh I think it was so prefect for them ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

ALSO, who would've thought that "that guy" would've been the killer??????? I was actually shocked 😳😳😳

It was such a good series, I honestly give it a 9/10, made me cry a few times, I loved the humor, and the plot twists were soooo good 🐂

Pairing: Established!An Jun-ho/Han Ho-yeol Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Warnings: internalized homophobia, homophobia A/N: Set in season 1. This is written from Hwang Jang-soo's point of view. Our boys are just in the background being observed. I kinda liked the idea of him catching our favorite duo doing something cute like watch the sunrise together.

Jang Geum, Oh My Grandma / Dae Jang Geum Is Watching. 7

Story: 6-7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10❤️

Comparable to: Let’s Eat (kdrama); Drinking Solo (kdrama)

What could’ve been a cute cheesy romcom became a hot mess romcom at the end. One word of advice, do not watch this drama before eating or if you’re trying to diet, cause oof this show makes you want to eat. The storyline at first is your typical cheese fest bordering on a toothache filled of cliches. It’s weirdly unique where they break out in songs sometimes, why? who knows but it’s funny. There’s multiple couples in this, main leads, then another couple which were pretty cute. When it comes to the mid to last way mark is where it all falls apart with the mains storyline. (Some mild spoilers) I guess the writers decided the wanted more angst and thought it would be fun to set the main female lead up in a fun love triangle with both brothers. It just gets weird, the writing felt off the way they wrote it, I don’t know, most of it i fast forward through then. It’s not he worst but wish it had a better last half since both main leads Shin Dong Wook and YuRi had excellent chemistry together. The other couple Lee Yeol Eum and Lee Min Hyuk were great together too.

BTS RM, 'plagiarism controversy' You Hee-yeol ⁇ Yoon Jong Shin

[kdrama-movies-more]

[intersectionalpraxis]

I've seen a lot of (usually white) feminists talk about how western/European women should also replicate/do '4B' as well just as Korean women have -without recognizing or understanding the context with which 4B arose.

The current very right-wing South Korean President, Yoon Suk Yeol, is very much responsible for continuing to put the health, well-being, as well as safety of Korean women at risk. Whether it be through him vehemently stating gender discrimination no longer exists to attempting to abolish the ONLY organizing that focuses on supporting women -the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

He has also only added a handful of women into his cabinet AFTER he was criticized for not having done so in the first place. When he was elected back in 2022, my solidarity has and will always remain with women and folks who experience marginalization in South Korea, such as those in the LGBTQIA+ and disability community, among many. I will, nor should NO ONE ever forget how this man campaigned/how he was elected in mass by misogynistic men.

President Yoon Suk Yeol also remarked about creating incentives for MEN by lowering their mandatory military service if they have more children with their wives... needless to say, 4B is specific to the lived experiences and realities of living under patriarchy in South Korea in many elements of her daily life. I stumbled on this video on my fyp, and this Creator gives SO much great context to 4B, and for those who can watch/listen I highly recommend this video as a start to understanding Korean feminism.
