Tiny Review: Uprising 2024. Korean Historical Class Allegory.

Though the marketing is on the two main characters, their arcs did not feel compelling to me. Feels a lot like hitting the beats for the sake of hitting beats.

I found it interesting that it took a Japanese invasion to potentially, inadvertently improve the slavery situation. But this was never fully explored 😓

Uprising is a 2024 South Korean historical war action film directed by Kim Sang-man, written by Shin Cheol and Park Chan-wook, and starring Gang Dong-won, Park Jeong-min, Kim Shin-rok, Jin Seon-kyu, Jung Sung-il, and Cha Seung-won.

Alienoid: Return to the Future

Movies watched in 2024

Alienoid: Return to the Future (2024, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Choi Dong Hoon

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be honest: I barely remembered anything about the first part, except that it was a pretty fun piece of popcorn entertainment. Now, after a quick recap, I can say this sequel lives up to the first one in that sense. The plot gets more convoluted and some of the twists left me flabbergasted, but the outstanding cast makes it work. As with the first one, my favorite part was the mixture of sci-fi and fantasy elements with the period setting, although the parts set in the present are very entertaining as well. Also, while the CGI leaves a lot to be desired, the sets and costumes are all stunning. Anyway, Alienoid: Return to the Future might not be a landmark in sci-fi cinema nor Choi Dong Hoon's best movie, but it's engaging and fun enough.

Dr. Romantic Series

Rewatching these three seasons one after the other has helped me appreciate the details I missed when watching each after the years of separation. I loved going back to the first one and then seeing that Kim Sabu kept in contact with Kang Dong Joo, Yoo Seo Jung and Do In Beom now that they were doing different things. I also made the connection between the mother of the paramedic in season 2 with season 3 as she appeared now and we can see her relationship with Seo Woo Jin. And of course the return of Kang Don Joo and Yoo Seo Jung is so much sweeter! I really love this series. Each season brings something new and just watching how Kim Sabu helps each of his students become better doctors and nurses, it warms my heart. The relationship between them all, the friendships and their love for what they do is in deed a beautiful romance.

UPRISING

GENRES: Historical, Action

SUMMARY: When you’re born into Joseon slavery, you’ll stop at nothing to find a way out.

THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING: Switches, abhorrent paternity laws, sparring, branding, fog fighting, crow dinners, greed, royal insanity, hunters, rock-throwing, questionable friendships, true friendships, robes, invasions, and loyalty.

HOT TAKE: The plot of this movie was swift and succinct, perhaps to the detriment of its believability. The action scenes were excellent, the cinematography was epic, and the resolution of the third act big-boss fight was one of the best I've seen in a while. Also, some great long-overdue comeuppance for a King that should have just shut the hell up.

That being said, our main characters were a little unmotivated, there were more 'Monty Python-esque' limbs severed than I was expecting, and some real hard choices to be made--ones I'm not sure I would have been strong enough to execute.

Timeline: 2025 March 18th, Wednesday, late afternoon. Location: Shin's estate in Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket, a little over an hour flight from Bangkok. Mood: Wired. Excited? Thrilled. Most definitely. Attire: See above. With: Kyu-bok, Dong-ho, Angel, Vee, and friends.

Nasir didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Maybe he thought he would've discussed more about it with Kyu-bok, about going to Phuket. But apparently, the Shin estate has eyes and ears everywhere and their little discussion about going to the southern part of the country reached the elders and they decided to make it happen for the possible couple.

The trip was put in motion very early in the morning. Some close friends visiting from South Korea was invited to the party and by late afternoon, they were flying over to Phuket. They arrived at a very luxurious property by the beach.

Nasir's not new to luxury but seeing the wide ocean right in front of his eyes as he stood inside the beach house just made him realize how very few people have way too much richest in their hands...

He set those thoughts aside and decided to enjoy the trip. At some point he would have to talk to Kyu-bok about the supposed plan to stay for a week or so. He has work and might not be able to stay for that long.

Although, the trip did wake up something in him. He has all the time in the world to get to know Kyu-bok a lot more in this place.

And then there's Dong-ho.

The stern bodyguard who accompanied them to Phuket.

Is the universe telling him something?

Timeline: 2025 March 18th, Wednesday, late afternoon. Location: Shin's estate in Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket, a little over an hour flight from Bangkok. Mood: Cautious, determined Attire: See above. With: Dong-ho, Nasir, Angel, Kyu-bok, and his charges' friends.

Vee knew that there was no way he'd be working at IGNITE in the foreseeable future, not after he attacked the owner's son. He was angry about it, but not because of the lack of work, but instead because of how that Alpha thought he had the god-given right to treat Omegas so disrespectfully.

Thankfully. he wasn't jobless for long. He quickly accepted the offer to work as the personal body guard to Angel, the Omega whom he had saved twice now. The pay that came with the job was good, better than anything Vee had been earning before. And it offered travel opportunities, apparently.

Currently, Vee was in Phuket, invited along to work his new job. The estate they were staying at was incredible, huge, making him feel slightly out of place. He focuses on what Dong-Ho, the head of security, told him - stick close to Angel and keep eyes on him at all times.

Right now, his charge is in the kitchen, searching for a snack. Vee hangs around, arms crossed in front of him and sleeves rolled up as he inspects the place out of interest, occasionally glancing over to Angel. He figures this won't be a hard job...

Timeline: 2025 March 18th, Wednesday, late afternoon. Location: Shin's estate in Kamala, Kathu District, Phuket, a little over an hour flight from Bangkok. Mood: A bit tired but mostly excited Attire: See above. With: Dong-ho, Nasir, Angel, Vee, and friends.

Kyu-bok could hardly believe that his parents had given him permission to go on this trip. Sure, it was on the condition that he go with his potential mate Nasir and with extra security, but at least he wasn't under house arrest anymore. Plus, his best friend Angel was with him, and their friends, and that very handsome bodyguard that had saved them at the club last week.

They had packed and left early, arriving at the Shin's beach estate in Phuket. Kyu-bok unbelievably excited almost bouncing off the walls in the plane. He didn't have specific plans on where to go or what to do, but he was going to take full advantage of the area, and leave no stone unturned.

Most of their party was napping right now, or at least resting from the flight. Angel was in his own room with his security, and Kyu-bok was alone, unpacking. He wouldn't wait for the others to wake up so they could get started on having fun.

Dr. Romantic: The Way to a Dream Come True

Dr. Romantic is made up of three seasons with a lapse of 4 years between the Season 1 and Season 2 and a 3 years lapse between Season 2 and 3. The first season we are introduced to the regular Doldam Hospital and new arrivals: Kang Dong Joo and Yoon Seo Jung. Master Kim helps these two young doctors and his regular staff to sharpen their skills and find realize their dreams. We see their growth as professionals and as human beings, while healing people and fighting to keep the hospital open. This first season ends with Kang Dong Joo and Yoon Seo Jung heading to new challenges but leaving a hope for their return.

Second season, Master Kim and his regular staff are still healing people while fighting to maintain the hospital running. We are introduced to three new doctors: Cha Eun Jae, Seo Woo Jin, and Yoon Ah Reum. In this case we have doctors returning and a doctor from a capital hospital, Park MinGuk becomes Holdam Hospital director as part of Chairman Do's attempt to take Master Kim down. But at the end we leave the hospital with a secure standing (no one can touch the property) and Dr. Park decides to partner with Master Kim and work together towards making Master Kim's dream come true - have a trauma center in the hospital.

Season 3 seems to be the conclusion to his story. Now they have the trauma center building connected to the old part of the hospital and they are about to open, but they need government funding to help run the center since this is a non-profit hospital. The staff is divided into two areas and those working at the trauma center will need to deal with their new director. Master Kim's Plan B - Dr. Cha Jin Man, who is also Dr. Cha Eun Jae's father and later Plan A - Kang Dong Joo.

I must admit that I was so excited to see Kang Dong Joo back and to see that Yoo Seo Jung returned, along other doctors that were part of the staff in the previous two seasons. It is satisfying to see Master Kim's dream come true: have the trauma center ran by his students.

You would've thought that he would want to run the center - after all, it was his dream - but he decided to stay in the old part of the hospital and have the another person run the trauma center. I loved the love stories and the new young characters. It was a really sweet way to bring this story to an end.

This story is one of my favorites on the doctors-drama category. A most watch, the three of them. I would watch them back to back, that way I would catch on things I probably missed since I saw them when they came out and time has past between each viewing.

Wave to Earth is a alternative Korean rock band, consisting of 3 men;

singer + songwriter Daniel Kim,

drummer Dong Kyu Shin, and

bassist John Cha.

Even though I've only started listening to them recently, I've grown to love their music, as it's more mellow and upbeat than 'rock'. Seeing as this is my first post--and first attempt in digital design like this-- I felt like Wave to Earth was a good and easy topic to start.
