The Frog (2024, South Korea)

Director: Mo Wan Il

Writer: Son Ho Young

Mini-review:

Wow, I didn't think I would enjoy The Frog so much. I guess I was in the mood for a dark, propulsive thriller. I've seen some people say it's 'slow', but like... where? This kept me glued to the screen from the very first episode, and it got more and more intense throughout the next ones. It even ventures into psychological horror territory from time to time, which made it even more fun to me. The writing isn't perfect (some of the characters aren't as well developed as they should), but the directing and the acting more than make up for it. Go Min Si turns in a particularly strong performance, and it's clear she gave it her all. I'm not gonna say this is the best thriller k-drama I've seen, but it was definitely enjoyable as hell.

Never Twice. 8.5

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life, (kdrama) ;Homemade Love Story (kdrama)

It’s a family story drama with 72 episodes (32min long). Is it worthwhile watching. Absolutely. It’s hella melodramatic though, so keep that in mind going in. You have a corrupt family, a somewhat vengeful widow, a suicidal couple, a golfer, two adults nearing their 50s who act like they’re in their 20s and a cute older couple. It can get a bit bonkers at times especially towards the later half, the ending had me rolling my eyes on how everyone ended up in one big happy family. And I mean EVERYONE. It’s still a really nice drama even with its ups and downs especially with the main leads who had a beautiful storyline that was written brilliantly for them. I mean the chemistry between the two. *chefs kiss*

BULGASAL: IMMORTAL SOUL // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı : 7,4 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Bulgasal: Immortal Souls (English title) / Immortality (literal title)

Hangul: 불가살

Director: Jang Young-Woo

Writer: Kwon So-Ra, Seo Jae-Won

Date: 2021

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Lee Jin-Uk, Kwon Na-Ra, Gong Seung-Yeon, Kim Woo-Seok, Jung Jin-Young, Park Myung-Shin, Lee Joon

"Bu topraklarda 600 yıl önce insan olmayan canlılar yaşıyordu. İnsan yiyen sayısız canavar. Ama artık, tüm canavarlar yok oldu. Ben hariç..." diyerek başlıyor. Dizi size hiçbir bilgi vermeden ilerliyor. Kim kimdir, ne nedir, ne zaman başlıyor, neden başlıyor hiçbir şey yok.  

Özet olarak, sayısız hayat boyunca onu canavar yapan canavarı bulup öldürmek için peşinden koşan bir canavarın hikayesini izliyoruz. Dizi bunu en başta söylemiyor ben söylemiş olayım. En azından bunu bilerek izlerseniz bir nebze içine girmeniz daha kolay olabilir. Üstelik inanmazsınız spoiler sayılmaz. Bu yaratığımızın ismi Bulgasal ya da cinsi mi diyeyim günümüzde kullandığı isim Dan Hwal (Lee Jin-Uk). Ona da bir miktar üzülüyorsunuz. Doğduğu andan itibaren lanetleniş, insanlar tarafından dışlanmış, hırpalanmış. Onu lanetleyen canavarı öldürüp, laneti ortadan kalmak istiyor. Canavar olmak istemeyen bu canavarımızın öldürmeye çalıştığı canavar ise günümüzde reenkarne olmuş normal bir insan.

Bu insan önceki hayatlarından bölük pörçük anılar hatırladığı için daha önce peşinde olan canavarı biliyor ama kendisinin canavar olduğunu yani ilk hayatlarını ikisi de hatırlamıyor. Her yaşantısında çok küçük yaşta önceki hayatlarına dair bilincini geri kazanıyor. Bizim izlediğimiz hikayede ise Min Sang-Un(Kwon Na-Ra) olarak karşımıza çıkıyor.

Hikaye ilerledikçe bütün kuyruklar birbirine dolanmaya başlıyor. Etraflarındaki herkes geçmiş hayatlarından onların yanında yöresinde olan insanlarmış meğerse gibi alt hikayeler çıkıyor. Aslında bu hikayeleri beğendim. Dizi her ne kadar kör kuyularda dolansa da, yan karakterlerin diziye dahil olma çizgileri güzeldi. Oyuncular oldukça başarılıydı. Hikayedeki saçmalıklar ya da anlamsızlıklar çok göze batmıyordu. Yalnızca benim için bir tık kasvetli bir diziydi.

Özetle; iyinin kötünün birbirinin kıllığına girdiği, iç içe geçtiği ketum bir diziydi diyebilirim. İzlenmeyecek kadar kötü değildi, bir sürü daha güzel dizi varken sıra gelirse izlenebilir.

The Devil's Plan, Review (Netflix, 2023)

I was curious of this show upon reading tweets about it. I'm only familiar with Ha Seok-jin as I've watched him in kdramas (and a few variety shows where he guested in).

I actually didn't expect that the games would be so well-crafted, and how it shows some of the human survival insticts in such shows. I do wish that some of the earlier main matches were individual games before it proceeds to somehow an alliance/team game by the end. I was kind of bummed that potential ace players were eliminated due to some bad lucks 🤧 and individual matches can really show each of the players possible strengths.

Overall, I enjoyed the shows as there are really mindblowing twists in it. It was kind of reminiscent of Liar Game (which I enjoyed before!!). Really looking forward if there would be news of a second season. Hoping for a much more intense strategies, alliances, and a lil bit of drama.

[SPOILER]

Congrats to Ha Seokjin!!! It was honestly well deserved after seeing how he played the game, fairly and logically. (And i dont know if it's because I was slightly bias for knowing him prior to the show, but I really did root for him hahaha)

Salute also to ORBIT, for also giving his best to all games, especially for stepping forward. His strategy may not have worked well but yea. His poker play was truly great!

To other casts also! I was on team Seokjin-Seewon-Dongjae-Guillaume who somehow ended up like an underdog team in the show.

Bloodhounds

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Bloodhounds (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Kim Joo Hwan (based on the webtoon by Jeong Chan)

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be honest: I'm not usually a big fan of these type of movies/shows and I only started this one because of the wonderful Woo Do Hwan. However, color me surprised, cause I ended up loving Bloodhounds. Sure, this story has been told a million times before, but the bromance, the incredibly lovable characters (and incredibly hateful villains!) and the showstopping action scenes take this show to the next level. I'm telling you, it's a really enjoyable experience.

On top of that, the cast absolutely delivers. The show is filled with knockout (pun intended) performances, there's not a single weak link. You can tell just how hard these actors worked to prepare for all the fights and action sequences. Oh, and I can't leave out Kim Joo Hwan's propulsive directing, which left me breathless in several episodes. I do think the final scene cut off way too suddenly, and the sort-of-time-jump in episode 7 is also rather awkward, but I guess it's understandable, considering all the trouble the show went through during post-production. Anyway, Bloodhounds took me by surprise, and I think most people who like action movies/shows focused on hand-to-hand combat will love this.

MOVIE REVIEW | Dream (2023)

In this film about broken dreams and second chances, a professional football player finds himself in a difficult position due to a mix of bad decisions and bad luck. He also has no real support system in his mother (who is on the run for scamming people) and his agency wants him to quit the sport to become a celebrity.

Is in this moment of his life that to rehabilitate his image he is forced to become the coach of a football team conformed by homeless men that will compete on a charity tournament.

Reluctantly, he learns the reasons why these men found themselves living in the streets. Addiction, bad decisions, abandonment, grief, among other motives. What they all have in common is that through this tournament they are looking to become a better version of themselves.

To record every moment of their journey, a documentary director (deep in student debt and stress) needs to find the right angle to have this film be a success for her and them.

It’s through teamwork and sharing their problems, that this team of odd men out find -perhaps for the first time in their lives- a real support system and even a family.

Dream is a solid comedy with really touching moments that brought some tears to my eyes. The film tries to shed some light on current social issues in South Korea through the housing problem these men are going through.

Park Seo Joon gives a good performance going from disheartened to finding a new dream and people to fight for. His chemistry with IU is hilarious to watch as they play entirely platonic teammates throwing jabs at each other, even long after they start to get along.

IU’s character as the documentary director who is forced to believe in herself into success is both fun and oh, so real.

The heart of the film, however, is Heo Joon Seok, whose character never lost hope and fought from beginning to end so the team could achieve their dream. The rest of the actors bring some emotions though the respective stories that makes the comedy more grounded.

Overall, I enjoyed this film.
