<멋진 하루> 'My Dear Enemy' Movie Review

Image
    As a big fan of actress Jeon Do-yeon, I've always wanted to watch this movie, since she acknowledged this one as her favorite film she appeared in. I wondered why, since this film isn't as famous as her other movies like <Secret Sunshine> and <The Housemaid>. But after finally seeing <My Dear Enemy>, it actually became my favorite as well!   The title of this movie made me feel confused before seeing the movie. The Korean title is <Great Day>, whereas the English title is <My Dear Enemy>. I wondered, did they really have make the title so different? But after seeing the movie, those two titles actually felt similar. They give off a certain vibe, and I figured that maybe the director wanted to preserve that vibe in two ways. After all, I noticed, 'great' and 'dear' are not so different.   The movie stars two top star actors; Jeon Do-yeon and Ha Jung-woo. Without them, the movie might have been a complete fiasco. Because their act...

<고양이를 부탁해> 'Take Care of My Cat' Movie Review

           If I were to choose only one Korean movie, I would choose this one, <Take Care of My Cat>(2001). It is the most special to me. Thanks to this movie, I got to experience personally life-changing events that I will surely cherish for my entire life.    In 2021, the movie reopened in theaters after a 4K remastering. As a big fan of actress Bae Doona, I went to the movies. And what I witnessed was something odd. To begin with, the story was odd. There was no romance, no thrill, no comedy, no pity in it. It was a first. The music was odd, too. Feeling doubtful about what I just watched for 2 hours, not knowing what should have been felt from it, I remember walking out of the theatre dumbfounded.    Then by chance, I got to watch <Take Care of My Cat> again. And I wasn't dumbfounded at all this time; I was dumbstruck. Because the movie mesmerized me. Enchanted me. It was truly a magical moment. I had a realization that m...

<약한영웅 Class 2> 'Weak Hero Class 2' Drama Review

Image
  The second season of Weak Hero is based on its original work, the famous comic of the same name. Class 1 served as a prequel to the comic, the story of Si-eun and his two friends and how his world fell apart. Traumatized, Si-eun transfers to Eunjang High School, and what happens here is the plot of both the comic and Class 2 .   Si-eun shuts down. Not wanting happiness or friendship anymore, he completely isolates himself. Rumors are that he killed someone in the previous school; why else would a smart boy like him transfer to this rubbish school? So the bullies avoid him. But the other victims are not so lucky. In Eunjang, violence is natural. The teachers turn a blind eye. Si-eun tolerates and tolerates until he can't stand it anymore. He takes action.   Is it right for him to stand up? It never changes anything after all. Violence is endless, following you persistently. Bullies aren't easily defeated. Defying seems like a worthless choice. That's why he'd promise...
