<살인자ㅇ난감> 'A Killer Paradox' Drama Review

  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 disappointment, but since other episodes were perfect, the show is overall great. And remember, this is only my opinion, so the bad episodes might turn out alright for you guys:) It's streaming on Netflix with good response from viewers, so enjoy!

Review: On a tightrope, dynamic and dramatic.

<용감한 시민> 'Brave Citizen' Movie Review

Image
  These days, bright and energetic K-movies are said to attract the audiences' attention. Perhaps it's due to recent ugly events regarding crime in society. The audience require movies that can refresh their mood. Due to this current trend, some brilliant masterpieces haven't been getting as much attention as they deserve, while some bright but not-so-brilliant movies have been successful. So many times I felt disappointed and betrayed after watching those numerically "successful" movies.    But Brave Citizen , another bright and energetic movie, was totally awesome. There was this good feeling about it even before watching the movie and to my relief, my hunch was right. Not only did it give off a hopeful vibe, it properly functioned it's role as a movie; creating a thrilling world where our real-life problems can be solved at once. Brave Citizen  killed two birds with one stone; it was both comical and meaningful.   School bullying has been a hot issue these

<시민덕희> 'Citizen of a Kind' Movie Review

Image
  This type of Korean movie is typical, yet strangely rare these days. It depicts Korean's joy and sorrow in a humorous way. Ten years ago, these movies were often screened, gaining immense popularity with little failure. Citizen of a Kind made me reminisce the good old days by evoking familiarity.    Duk-Hee is a common citizen working her busy day to day life. When she is in desperate need of money, she is scammed by voice phishing. In despair she runs to the police, only to find that punishing voice phishing criminals is difficult. The police isn't helpful at all. Then one day she receives a call from the phishing caller himself. He claims that he will help her retrieve money by providing inside information, asking in return for her help.   Everyone will be able to enjoy the movie, meanwhile also feeling sympathy for the characters. There is humor here and there, lightening the overall mood. Based on a true story, the movie raises awareness of voice phishing. Review : A wel

<서울의 봄> '12.12: The Day' Movie Review

Image
  The night everything changed, December 12, 1979. This day remains to all Koreans as an unbelievable historical event. After the 10.26 incident when President Park Chung-Hee was assassinated, a time so called "Seoul's spring" comes, citizens celebrating the end of 18 years of dictatorship. However, on December 12, Chun Doo-Hwan overthrows the government by a coup along with his military faction and secret organization 'Hanahoe(하나회)', finally becoming the president of Korea. He then starts a cruel monocracy, resulting in many uprisings from citizens followed by the government's violent oppression and massacres of innocent citizens that are still remembered to this day.    12.12: The Day deals with the hidden truth of the day Chun Doo-Hwan stages a coup. Chun's irrational and insane acts are depicted realistically throughout the entire movie. Very few soldiers are righteous and loyal to the country, since most soldiers succumb to power. Every audience alre
