Guys there's a new kdrama in town to obsess about and you know I'm going to do it. The kdrama is *drum roll* LOVE SCOUT.

I'm so hooked by this Kdrama. A female CEO with a male secretary? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP. I absolutely love the dynamics between and how their tension and trust gradually builds over time. I love how Eunho doesn't magically win her approval on the first day. I love how Eunho just does his work without expecting anything. I love how Jiyun is so smart. The way she cares about people is so subtle. She's not the kind to give you kind words but she'll make you get your shit together. And I absolutely love how Eunho takes care of her without asking her to change any aspect of who she is. He meets her where she works and because of the kind of person she is, she meets him where he is.

Because guys, Jiyun is the kind of person who has built a career in investing in people. She's a headhunter. If you show her what you are capable of, no one is more loyal to you than her. That's why I think it's such a good part on the writers' choice to show Eunho making those decisions and meeting her where she is which creates the space for her to trust him, for her to believe that he's worth her time and energy. That's why I love kdramas so much. Their characters so fully fleshed out and you see THEM in their subtleties.

Also Eunho is such a good dad I will cry. Eunho is literally for Eldest independent daughters with daddy issues who want to be cared for but won't ask for love and affection and care and I'm in love.

The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call Review

Cast: Ju Ji Hoon, Choo Young Woo, Ha Young

Genre: Medical Drama, Action, Comedy Elements

The 8-episode short series is about a Trauma Center in a renowned university hospital. Baek Gang Hyeok is an expert surgeon newly appointed to head the trauma team in the hospital. He takes a younger doctor, Yang Jae Won, under his wing along with an experienced, spirited nurse, Cheon Jang Mi. Together, this team faces various challenges every day and develops a bond over time.

I was looking forward to this drama since it has Ju Ji Hoon in it, and watching him perform is always a pleasure. As expected, he delivered and devoured his role as a genius doctor who is spontaneous, confident and sincere. His matter-of-fact personality comes off as “rude” and irks many colleagues and seniors at work, but he always speaks with his craft. He radiates confidence and peculiar charm, and his one-liners about how much he believes in himself give comic relief to the audience. The performance of Baek Gang Hyeok truly leaves an impression and I wanted to see more of him.

The other actors also did really well. I have not seen much of Choo Young Woo, but him as Yang Jae Won was so memorable. His emotions and reactions to situations were so relatable and funny at times as well. Watching one of his interviews where he mentioned he studied for this role with a professor is reflected clearly in his dedicated performance. Ha Young as the cheerful yet serious senior nurse in the trauma center is the strength that holds the team together. Them, along with an anaesthesiologist who touches our hearts towards the end together become a formidable team headed by Baek Gang Hyeok.

The show also has a lot of other familiar faces as supporting characters, and each of them bring their own elements and plot devices to the show. The show is focused throughout the eight episodes, absolutely no-nonsense and made with high precision. The audience can clearly see the amount of effort that went into making the show and this realism enamours us. This has to be one of the best medical shows I have seen in a while. Whether you are new to kdramas, fans of the actors or not, if you need an entertaining show that will leave you satisfied in the end, 10/10 absolutely recommend The Trauma Code. And believe me when I say, you will fall in love with Ju Ji Hoon :)

The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call

I enjoyed watching this series. It stresses the importance of trauma centers and the struggle to fund those specialization in hospitals. It's frustrating to see how the administration staff in this hospital didn't care about patients and only focused on their greed. Dr. Baek's unconventional ways get him what he wants and he builds a team that gives it their all. I like the relationship between Dr. Baek, Jae Won, Nurse Cheon, Gyeong Won and later Dr. Han. When Dr. Baek says he is the god, Jae Won is the son and Nurse Cheon is the ghost I laughed so hard. It had a bit of everything - comedy, action and some drama. The medical situations might not be the most accurate but we forgive the literary licenses for the sake of the plot.

It was a good 8 episode ride.

I have the webtoon in my list of must read, so let's see how different both versions are.

THE TRAUMA CODE: HEROES ON CALL

GENRES: Medical Procedural, Drama, Comedy

SUMMARY: Dr. Baek Kang Hyuk can do everything from on-site triage to black ops maneuvers, but can he also successfully revitalize an underfunded and mismanaged hospital medical team?

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Haribo snacks, bunkbeds, Goryeo celadon tea sets, despicable hospital admins, chill anesthesiologists, helicopters, private military friendships, and terrible nicknames.

HOT TAKE: This show is short and sweet in the best ways possible. You gotta love a web novel adaptation for their dedication to simple, motivated characters, easy to deal with b-plots, and a refreshing boldness in not taking itself too seriously.

Honestly my only complaint about this show is the hair they chose for Jeong Jae Kwang's character. You gotta be kidding me with that long hair situation, fam.

Oh, and a high five to all my fellow Ju Ji Hoon fans out there. 2024/2025 is our year for enjoying a tsunami of long-awaited comebacks!

Wedding Impossible

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Wedding Impossible (2024, South Korea)

Director: Kwon Young Il

Writers: Oh Hye Won & Park Seul Ki (based on the webtoon by Song Jung Won)

Mini-review:

Well, this drama was entertaining, but nothing more. It was especially funny at the beginning, thanks to that sort of 'rivalry' between the leads. However, once they solved that and started moving into purely romantic territory, the story began to lose steam quickly. Tbh, I kept watching to the very end because of the sizzling chemistry between Jeon Jong Seo and Moon Sang Min. And I guess I wanted to see how in the world they were gonna clear up the mess created by the characters, which was pretty fascinating. I feel like the show would have been better if the director had put more thought into its style, cause the whole thing looked pretty cheap and bland. But still, Wedding Impossible is fun enough, and I can see fans of classic romcoms enjoying it a lot.

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)
