Gyeongseong Creature (Spoiler Alert!!!!!)

Just seen episode one and two of Gyeongseong Creature and I have to say Han So Hee chooses her characters well. Love me a tough, independent woman with a splash of emotional darkness.

I haven't seen Taehyung's Hwarang co-star and Wooga Squad member Park Seo Joon act before but I like the way he is embodying his character.......

....and the dynamic with Han So Hee, especially in the initial fight scene, is excellent so far.

Pretty disturbing concept, with the Japanese equivalent of Josef Mengele subjecting hundreds of unsuspecting victims to certain and gruesome death in his quest to create a perfect monster.

Great supporting cast too.

Kim Hae-Sook also currently appearing in My Demon.

Park Ji Wan from Our Blues

Wi Ha Joon from Squid Game, Bad and Crazy and Little Women

ALONG WITH THE GODS: THE LAST 49 DAYS

GENRES: Supernatural, Drama

SUMMARY: We meet the Guardians again, this time diving deep into their own histories as they defend the wrongfully decesased.

THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING: Sacred pots, thugs, fraternal Goryeo strife, orphan saving, lava monsters, sea monsters, recycling, forgiveness, confessions, and tiger hunting.

HOT TAKE: This second movie in the series really lets Kim Hyang Gi acting chops shine, and I couldn't be happier because she is just the bestest.

We get a lot of Goryeo-era flashbacks, just as many (if not more) green screen scenes, and Ma Dong Seok tying everything together in a bow that only he is strong enough to create.

I didn't cry as much during this movie, but since it didn't have to worry about introducing the audience to the afterlife and all of its intricacies and quirks, I felt like this was the better of the two. it got right to business, spent its time well telling a story, and set up the next sequel for fans to look forward to.

D.P. (Season 2)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

D.P. (Season 2, 2023, South Korea)

Director: Han Jun Hee

Writers: Kim Bo Tong & Han Jun Hee

Mini-review:

The moment has finally come: Netflix's best Korean Original has made its return with a second season. And these two years of waiting have been more than worth it. It seemed impossible but, somehow, this new season is even better than the first one. It preserves all of its many strengths, and then it takes them to the next level. Both the directing and the writing are amazingly intense. I spent six whole hours on the edge of my seat, biting my nails to the quick, and the last two episodes left me breathless. I also loved the show's attempts at experimenting, like the musicality in episode 3 or the horror undertones in episode 4. As for the acting, is there anything left to say? This is a cast full of incredible actors, and all of them give career-best performances. This time round, Jung Hae In and Son Suk Ku are probably the MVPs, but everyone does a flawless job. To sum up, this second season blew away my sky-high expectations, and I really hope we get a third one, cause TV shows don't get better than this.

P.S. There's a lot of triggering content here, so please be careful with that. Those of you who watched the first season already know this, but I'm saying it just in case.

Reborn Rich the final episode

What an ending.

It's so bittersweet but I love it. Maybe it's my obsession with Jin Do Jun, but if you follow the actual chronology of things - Do Jun was reborn as Hyun Woo first. Because he died first. And if fate cannot be changed then he was meant to recover his memories as Jin Do Jun, which had alread been burried within him. Even before Hyun Woo "died" (for a week), it was meant to happen. So who is really who at the end? As Hyun Woo called it, you could think of it as repentance, but for me personally, Do Jun existed in Hyun Woo long before Hyun Woo got "reborn" as Do Jun.

All that being said, I do have some very smaaaaaall issues with the ending.

First, it felt rushed. Honestly the last 3 episodes or so felt really rushed compared to the rest of the drama's pace. Everything that needed to happen still happened, but it was just.... I don't wanna say half-baked but.....

Second, Hyun Woo got shot straight in the head point blank. You're telling me he miraculously survived that? Sure there are some miracles that happene even in real life, but it's a patter I hate with tv shows, nto just kdrama. At the very least, he would've needed years to recover. Although, if I really want to defend it, I could say the years he spent as Do Jun somehow changed Hyun Woo's brain's perception of time which afforded him just enough time to recover. Still, between Do Jun's and Hyun Woo's death, Do Jun would've had a much higher survival rate than Hyun Woo. Sure, Do Jun's car got slammed pretty hard, but it's not comparable to getting shot at point blank IN THE FREAKING HEAD, now is it? :/

Also I would've loved to see the actual process of Mr. Oh Se Hyun working with Do Jun's mother, instead of just hearing about all the things they're gonna do..... but we don't get to see them.

Jin Sung Jun's character deserved more too. Sure he was greedy, but he was not guilty of ordering Do Jun's murder. Both times he was innocent. He knew everyone would've suspected him, which is was exactly what his father wanted. It's the reason why he got the company in the first place. Sung Jun deserves some justice too. I feel like it would've been that more epic if the show had gone back to the conversation between Hyun Woo and Sung Jun from episode 1 and committed to the bond that was forming. Imagine if we had Hyun Woo and Sung Jun working together in the final episodes. Hyun Woo gets to finish Do Jun's deed and Sung Jun finally has a change of heart and pays tribute to his grandfather and runs the company with the same heart his grandfather had.

On a more positive note (says anticupid), Hyun Woo did not end up in a relationship with Min Young! Which makes logical sense, for once. I'm not saying I'm happy that they didn't get together, I'm saying it happened for the right reasons. But I'm sure most of the ship's fans will be satisfied that she seemed to recognize Do Jun in Hyun Woo in the end. One could imagine they did end up meeting up and like.... making babies. Idk.

I liked the future Min Young a lot more. Although for her to become the Soonyang Grim Reapper and wear only black because she was mourning for Do Jun, I really would have loved to see more of their relationship developing at least? As it was all based on only a few times they talked? Briefly? But I guess human emotiones are unpredictable, so it's possible. Anyways, there's that.

A little sad the endings of the rest of the characters were rushed by too, but I didn't see anything that made me think "hmm this doesn't make sense". Honestly, is there not going to be a season 2? Now I'm kinda disappointed, because I wish we had spent more time with how the other characters' life continued. As well as more to see of Do Jun with his family. But I get it, it was never the focus of the show.

All my other thoughts about this drama flew out the window.

I can say it was a lovely experience. I enjoyed this so much despite constantly finding something to nag about. I loved following Jin Do Jun's life, and that particular era in South Korea's history. The real footage they used. I loved Jin Yang Cheol's character, I loved Lee Sung Min's acting (as well as Joong Ki's, always).

It made me cry a couple of times and any drama that invokes real emotion in me keeps a spot in my heart. Especially when Ha In Seok went to testify and thought Hyun Woo was Do Jun (was he wrong though?) and wanted to protect him. The unspoken hero of this show. It was a fantastic story, even if we look at it only from Do Jun's perspective, it makes for an amazing story. Had Hyun Woo not even been a part of this drama, I would've still loved just watching Do Jun and his grandpa. Hyun Woo's growth at the end was the bonus for me. I get to exprience something which unlocked his cage and his heart. The boy who grew up in poverty and had many hardships because of it, the boy who willingly walked into a cage because of his trauma caused by poverty. He put his emotions aside, thinking that money was more important than them. Finally, he was freed from it all.

With a new look on life, a new heart and a new dream, he was able to leave all of his hurt behind and live in a way that not only fits him better, as a human, but also a life that Do Jun would be proud to see him live.

Ugh. I'm gonna miss Do Jun's smile though. I know Joong Ki plays both, but that smile is now Do Jun's until the day I die and there's no changing my mind.

Alright, time to go cry in a dark corner. I love-hate this ending.

2023 (59th) BaekSang Arts Awards - April 28, 2023

Best Actor (Lee Sung-Min)

Song Joong-Ki’nin Türkiye de dizi çekiyor olması haberi kore severlerde bir heyecan patlaması yaşatsa da ülkemizde dizi; ilk bölümde Türkiye de öldürülmesi ile gündem oldu. Yapımcı ve yönetmenin Türkiye’yi kara para aklanan, korkutucu insanların olduğu 3.sınıf bir Ortadoğu ülkesi olarak resmetmesi birçok kişinin tepkisini çekti. Uzunca bir süre sadece Türkiye sahnelerinin sarartılmış olmasını, gelen turisti sokaktaki çocukların bile hırpalaması konuşuldu. Seçilen müzikler daha oryantal, etraftaki tabelaların da Arapça ağırlıklı olması da tuz biber oldu. Gel gelelim bu şahane dizinin eleştirilen bu tü kaka kısımları hepi topu 3dk sürüyor olmasına… Gözünüzü seveyim, senaryoda böyle bir kurgu varmış çekmişler. Her ülkenin kötü yanı, her mesleğin iyisi kötü, insanın niyeti bozuk olanı var. 3 dakikalık bir gösteriyi ne kadar kişiselleştiriyorsunuz.

Diğer yandan dizinin bir diğer dedikodusu ise Samsung şirketinin gerçek hayattaki skandallarına çok benzemesi üzerineydi. Bizim çok aşina olduğumuz bir mevzu değil ama Kore’de böyle de bir durum var. Dizi ise; Kore’nin en büyük Chaebol ailesine ait Soonyang Group’u konu alıyor. En tepedeki isim Jin Yang-Cheol(Lee Sung-Min) çocukları arasında bir halef seçmediği için bütün aile halefi olmak için yarışa girmiştir. Her büyük şirket hikayesinde olduğu gibi bu dizininde ana konusu aile üyeleri arasındaki iç savaşı anlatıyor. Yoon Hyeon-Woo(Song Joong-Ki) ise bu koca şirkette haleflerden birinin altında rütbeli çalışandır. Bir gün şahit olduğu bir yolsuzluğu patronuna söylemesi sonucu mevzu büyür ve başrolümüzü götürüp Türkiye’de kafasına sıkmak sureti ile öldürürler. Kafasına sıkılan karakterimiz uçurumdan düşer ve gözünü açtığında 17 yıl önce Chaebol ailesinin 10 yaşlarındaki küçük torunu Jin Do-Jun’undur.

Artık amacı aile içinde sağlam bir yer edinmek ve onun ölümünü planlayan kişiyi bulmaktır. Tekrar yaşaması gereken önünde 17 yıl vardır. Ülkede olacakların yanı sıra dünya da olacakları da bilen benliği ile 17 yıllık planını izliyoruz. Hani herkesin geçmişe gitsem sayısal numarasını kendime veririm diye yaptığı geyik var ya, geçmişe gittiğinizi ama sayısal vermenize gerek olmayacak kadar zengin bir ailede doğduğunuzu hayal edin. Çöküşleri, yatırım imkanlarını, piyasa değeri fırlayacak markaların bilgilerini bildiğinizi düşünün. İşte dizi bu ekonomist bakış açısı üzerinden ilerleniyordu.

Oyuncular ve oyunculukları… Benim fikrim, şahane olduğu yönündeydi. Büyük patron Chaebol’ün başı Jin Yang-Cheol rolündeki Lee Sung-Min yıkmış geçmişti. Zaten tecrübeli olan oyuncu, yıllarını boşa harcamadığını herkeslere kanıtladı. Song Joong-Ki’nin oyunculuğuna ise donuk diyenler olmuş, çarpılırsınız. Başarılı oyuncu tek kelime ile efsaneydi. Hem 17 yaşında ergen oldu, hem 25 yaşında genç hem de 40 yaşında adam. Dizi çekilirken 37 yaşında olan oyuncu, 3 jenerasyonunda içinden geçti bana mısın demedi. Bu kadar zor bir şeyi seyirciyi koparmadan başarmak yetenektir, emektir. Kimsede kalkıp donuktu diyemez. Sen neyi başardın haspam derler adama.

Dizide elle tutulur bir romantizm yoktu. Birinci bölümde Yoon Hyeon-Woo’nun peşindeki soğuk savcı Seo Min-Yeong (Shin Hyun-Bin), ilerleyen zamanlarda Jin Do-Jun ile romantik yakınlaşmalar yaşasa da, doyurucu bir hikaye değildi. Asıl donuk olan bence Shin Hyun-Bin’di. Kadronun geri kalanına baktığımızda biraz soft bir oyuncu olarak kalıyordu.

Ben zaman atlaması, zamanda yolculuk gibi kavramları kavramakta çok zorlanan bir insan olarak, dizinin sonu benim için bir tık puslu kaldı. Bunun sorumlusu benim, o yüzden kimseye bir yorum yapamam. Ama onu da havada bırakıp kalbimizi kırmadılar. Bağlandı, toplandı. Benim için 2022 yılının en iyi 2 dizisinden biri oldu. Diğeri Big Mouth, onu konuşmuştuk. Tavsiye ederim ama gözünüzün ucuyla ön yargıyla değil, hakkıyla izleyin isterim.

My guess? Young Ki is responsible for the accident and Sung Jun knows about it. Do Joon will eventually be out of the picture and Young Ki is going to get the CEO position in the end, so we will have to wait for the board meeting to see how that will happen.

I am not ready to see the downfall of Jin Yang Cheol. By downfall I mean going from a strong and imposing business man to a frail and weak old man. Nothing wrong with that, it's life and he has serious health issues, but looking at the preview and seeing him showing signs of dementia is truly heartbreaking (LEE SUNG MIN WITH HIS GENIUS ACTING).

I know he is not the best man around but the show really made us actually care for him a bit. All in all he is the antagonist of the show, but not really. He is an emperor who built his empire from scratch and wants someone to understand that. To understand the struggles he went through and what it takes to mantain that empire. Unfortunately, his first son and grandson can't grasp that idea, the second son only wants affection but does not have what it takes to take over, his only daugther is automatically out of the race and his fourth son was practically disowned. However, his youngest grandson does get it and their interactions are getting increasingly precious, even after knowing how ruthless JYC can be.

DRAMA REVIEW | Prism (2022 KBS Drama Special)

This drama special follows the lives of a group of teens that have dedicated their entire lives to ballet, perhaps for the wrong reasons and they need to figure out if what they have been doing is right. I mostly think not. These kids are living a highly cut through environment, despite growing together they are not friends and rather see each other as competition and are willing to go as far as to use a person's weak spot in order to move up instead of relying on their talent.

You will see very little actual dancing in this drama since its story follows more the mental state of the dancers rather than their talent, and that's the entire point of the story. These kids rather play mind games that competing fairly or take a moment to realize their own value. There's no self love in this story.

I thought this was a very well done drama about the fragility of a person's mind when they alienated themselves. The solid performances help get the message across, particularly Hong Seo Hee and Kim Min Chul.

[passionforfiction]

Reborn Rich

This Korean drama is based on the webtoon. I haven't read the webtoon, yet but I definitely will. I liked the series because it kept me wanting to see what would happen next. Yoo Hyeon Woo had been a faithful employee to the Soonyang owners who were fighting for the management rights over the empire. He doesn't like the people he works for, he doesn't respect them but he does what needs to be done in order to hold on to his job; until he goes on a business trip where he is to meet his death.

But he is not dead, he is now living in the body of the Jin Do Joon who had died 20 years before. The youngest grandson of the legendary Jin Yang Cheol who had created the Soonyang empire. It is through the relationship between grandfather and grandson that Yoo Hyeon Woo tries to mend the situation in his previous life by making sure Jin Yang Cheol's children and grandchildren don't get the management rights over the company.

The twist and turns in this story kept my interest. The relationship between Jin Do Joon with his grandfather and his investing partner were fun to watch. It is sad to watch how children and grandchildren watch the patriarch like vultures waiting for him to die so they can get their hands on the company. It really felt like Jin Do Joon was the only one who truly loved his grandfather.

It is interesting to see how all those experiences Yoo Hyeon Woo lived in this paralleled reality was connected to what he had lived in his first life - as Yoo Hyeon Woo would call it. I don't want to say more because this story is best to watch without knowing much. But I will say that I liked the fact that these are very gray characters and that I liked the main characters with all their imperfections.

This is a really good series. I recommend it. Can't wait to read the webtoon!
