Happily Ever After

  Choi Woo-Sik and Son Suk-Ku, currently the two hottest male actors in Korea lead A Killer Paradox . The original webtoon was already famous, and with the sensational casting, the show naturally gained attention from the start.    Lee Tang is a hopeless college student who is good at nothing. One rainy night, he accidentally murders a man. But then, he learns from the news that the man he murdered is actually a serial killer. Later on, he realizes that his urge to kill is only activated by mean guys. And each time he murders someone, his trace is miraculously erased, leaving no evidence at all.    The show was generally amazing. The setting and directing were fantastic. The main character's breakthrough was totally awesome. The show is 8 episodes total, and episodes 1 to 4, and the final episode were just so fun and thrilling. However... episodes 5 to 7, the middle ones, required patience. Those episodes were mismatching, a complete fiasco. This was a big disap...

  Not sure exactly when I started falling for Han Hyo-Joo. Now it seems that I was always aware of her even before I realized it myself. And a definite turning point was Moving . She is the most prolific actor I've ever seen, and her delicate acting always inspires me. Since today(2.22) is Hyo's birthday, I'm going to introduce three movies and three shows that represent her. In fact, it was super hard to select only three pieces each! Among her many many masterpieces(due to her annual, frequent comebacks), these are the final choices I made. In them, Hyo-Joo shines magnificently. Of course, she always does, but anyways:) -- Movie -- 1. <감시자들> 'Cold Eyes' (2013)   Character Ha Yoon-Joo has a special ability to remember everything she sees. Her sensitive emotions are slowly gathered then exploded at once. Among thrilling action scenes Hyo's outstanding emotion control stands out, earning her big-scaled awards. 2. <반창꼬> 'Love 911' (2012)   Firs...

    A special episode to the ever famous Netflix show Kingdom .    Before Squid Games there was Kingdom , Netflix's first K-drama to gain worldwide fame. It instigated the K-zombie syndrome once again and created a trend of Joseon traditional hat, gat(갓). The show is about the mysterious appearance of zombies during the Joseon dynasty.  Kingdom: Ashin of the North follows the concept; showing a period before the Joseon dynasty and hints how Kingdom 's zombies came to be.    The movie is centered upon Ashin, played by star actress Gianna Jun. Familiar with the forest, Ashin knows of the existence of a mysterious flower that causes the dead to come to life. But the dead don't just wake up like nothing happened; they turn into a monster once they regain life, a zombie. And knowing this, Ashin happens to hold the key to destruction.   Since the focus is entirely on Ashin's life and her road to revenge, without sympathy towards her the movie might fe...

  Definitely worthy to watch, Kill Boksoon was both thrilling and soft. Blood was everywhere; this usually feels unpleasant but in this movie, the sight was strangely enjoyable and somehow beautiful. The tone was overall bright with many laughing points.    Bok-soon seems like an ordinary single mom with a fifteen year old daughter, but she is actually the best killer in the industry. She faces difficulty in balancing her life between a brutal killer and understanding mother. And her greatest fear is her daughter finding out about her true identity. To protect her only family Bok-soon plans to quit her job, but Director Cha won't let his best leave the company.    Fabulous action scenes and her charismatic smiles make actress Jeon Do-Yeon stand out even more. Other great actors like Sul Kyung-Gu, Kim Sia, Koo Kyoh-Wan, and even Hwang Jung-Min make each character as charming as they can be. Kill Boksoon , a hidden gem among Netflix movies!
