<경성크리처 시즌2> ‘Gyeongseong Creature Season 2’ Drama Review


 When the first season of the show was released a year ago, nobody paid much attention. Despite being released on Netflix, the most popular OTT platform in Korea, there were more negative reviews than positive ones. Honestly, I didn’t pay much attention to why they thought the show was lacking. But I was confident that depicting the cruelty of Japanese rule in such a way itself was enough to prove the show’s worth. The overall plot and artistic production also seemed great to me. Now, the second season of the quite controversial Gyeongseong Creature has been released; and it’s a relief that I can express my support more openly, now that the show receives much positive likes from viewers. Good thing I had unwavering trust in the series!


  Chae-ok has come back from the dead thanks to Nagin her creature-mother fed her. Consequently, she is no longer a normal human being. She has to constantly overcome her crave for human blood, and she no longer ages. Chae-ok has lived like this for 79 years, keeping a low profile. Then one day, she comes across a crime scene made by one of her own kind. While looking into the case, she meets Ho-Jae who unbelievably looks exactly like her lover from 79 years ago. 


  The story of season 2 is closely connected to the first season. The first season has 10 episodes, the second one 7. You will be able to catch the gist of the show even if you abandon the first season, but I suggest you watch from the start. That way you’ll possibly be overwhelmed by a heartwarming sensation. With lots of spectacular action scenes to see, along with endearing, heartbreaking romance, Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 will surely be liked worldwide. Plus, I can’t help but mention; Han So-Hee’s beauty is shockingly insane! She made Chae-ok come to life splendidly. 


  And no matter what, we must never forget the dark times of Japanese rule. Remember to keep fighting forward because fleeing is never an option. 


Review: It’s always been you. And ‘you’ stand for so much more.

<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
