#Ahn Joong Hee

[justforthoughts]

Just the family trying to be more like Vincenzo.

Underrated moments. And I know the one with Jang Han seo is pretty famous but the other two especially the first one is so underrated. Comedy gold right there.

Zombie Detective. 9

Story: 10

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: The Ghost Doctor (kdrama) ; Vampire Detective (kdrama) ;

For some reason this drama got swept under my huge gigantic humongous unwatched list. Im so peeved at myself, I remember wanting to watch it badly then it just got swept under everything. Storyline is basically what you see but so much more, it’s a top tier hilarious kdrama that has a bit of a mystery (it’s sorta obvious) thrown into it. What really makes this special though is the humor and the campiness satire to it. I will put a advisory for those have yet to watch it it can get a bit gruesome sometimes, for example main character, Choi Jin Hyuk, still gorgeous as a zombie by the way, eats raw food especially chicken which can get disgusting. There were times I had to look away and this is someone who loves horror shows, for some reason it just got to me. Nonetheless this series is quirky, cute, and original, it does reminds me a bit of of the western tv series of iZombie which was one of my favorites so maybe that’s why I like it a lot too.

Jung So-Min Supremacy

Alchemy of Souls (2022)

She wasn't in Season 2 but Go Youn-jung is just as adorable for the role.

Because This Is My First Life (2017)

One of my all-time favorites. Their characters (Jung So-min as Yoon Ji-ho and Lee Min Ki as Nam Se-hee) are sometimes toxic, but they served life facts with a reality slap here.

The side characters are quite adorable too.

My Father is Strange (2017)

It's too long since it's a day drama, but everyone's story here is just as strange (err., unique) as their father's.

This could well be the breakout role show for Ahn Hyo-seop (?) before Business Proposal.

Love Reset (2023)

My two favorites (of many, lol) here: Jung So-min and Kang Ha-neul.

I wonder how it would turn out if were made into a series instead. 🤔

The Sound of Your Heart (2016)

This is cute. The series is too short but really fun to watch.

Lee Kwang-soo delivers as always.

Playful Kiss (2010)

I can't really remember this one much. Jung So-min is paired with Kim Hyun-joong (of the Boys Over Flowers, 2009) fame here.

Alice: Boy from Wonderland (2015)

Boy, oh boy, this one I can never forget! It was a roller coaster ride with a major WTF twist.

What else should I watch?

ahn joong hee from my father is strange

UGH i love his whiny high maintenance ass! This ask makes me wish I listened to more (any) kpop so that I could give a real answer but alas. Anyway in-universe he would definitely start his time loop either to one of his rivals (I forget the guys name) songs coming on over his radio alarm clock OR perhaps to one of his own old hits as covered by some kid so he gets a nice panic about being a washed up has-been 😌 That said in terms of songs I know, he obviously needs an old school pop girlie singing about daddy issues so I’m gonna go with Because Of You by Kelly Clarkson

Time loop ask game!

Vol 1 - Battle of the Boy Bands - Chapter 8/23

This is one of many archived fanfics featuring 1st and 2nd generation K-pop acts that I've come across recently. It's all in good fun, and maybe a bit cringeworthy! Just to clarify, I don't post fanfics, so I hope to the people that post and read K-pop fanfics makes sense. Credits go out to the original creator (hgiel) Anrui, Kyorei, and Jacqui.

*Note: Nothing in their post will change (unless necessary), other than being posted here, and the (Link) will be provided to the page that i found it on.

Characters:

Choi Dongwook (Se7en), Wheesung, Moon Heejoon, Ahn Chilhyun (Kangta), Jae Joong, Yun Ho, Mickey, Max, Xia, Young One, Woo Hyun, UBin, Dong Hwa, Jumin

Chapter 8:

"Wha... What are you guys doing here?" Seven asked pulling his robe tightly closed.

"We're through putting up with your shit. Why should you get to stay in this nice place all alone while we sleep up in a tree?" Young one asked trying to push seven who wasn't budging.

"Honey, who is it?" Someone called from within the huge house. Seven turned deathly pail and a few members of each group smiled.

"Not alone?" Max asked and joined Youngone in trying to get passed Seven.

"Wait!! This isn't part of the game! You're supposed --" But it was too late everyone had joined in the pushing and Seven fell over and was trampled on appropriately by seven out of the ten boy band members.

"It's so huge!" Xiah exclaimed while Mickey and Max were busily raiding the fruit basket on a nearby table. Kang Ta and Hee Jun both started to go for the basket too but saw each other and immediately turned in the opposite directions.

"Where's the kitchen?" UKnow demanded of seven who was trying to lift himself up by pulling on the seven shaped door knob.

"Your supposed to stay in your cabins!" Seven cried but no one was listening. UKnow had gone in search for the kitchen with Young one, Woohyun, Hero and Jumin close behind. Ubin had found a mirror and was tsking and trying to fix his hair. Donghwa was standing idly but a noise caught his attention and he wondered away from Ubin.

"Look at all this food!" Jumin screamed and there was a loud crash. Seven stopped trying to get a pineapple away from Mickey and went running for the kitchen. Food was all over the kitchen floor, the boy band members had spilled out drawers and emptied shelves in the refrigerator and were happily helping themselves to a smorgas board on the floor.

"AHH!" Seven cried as his collection of seven types of EVERYTHING in the refrigerator was being devoured.

"Here you like this, right?" Woohyun asked around a mouth full of sandwich while offering Young one a protein bar.

"Sweet." Young one went to take the bar but their hands touched and they looked at each other a moment. Everyone on the floor stopped shoving food in their mouths to notice the moment Young one and Woohyun were having that was going on a bit too long to be ignored. Jumin swallowed everything in his mouth with a little difficulty and was about to speak when a glass shattering scream made them all jump.

"BABY!" Seven screamed and ran from the kitchen. Everyone followed, Hero and UKnow shoving food in each other's pockets as they got up from the floor.

After a short jog down a long hall and in a huge bedroom someone was still screaming and throwing things. All twelve people who had followed the screaming tried to get through the door first.

"What wrong?!" Seven cried pulling himself free of the doorway and everyone in it. On a large bed shaped as a number seven Taebin held a sheet around what was presumably his naked body and was throwing anything within hands reach at Donghwa who was crouched on the floor covering his head.

Ubin saw this and managed to be the next to tumbled into the room closely followed by Young one and then Max. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Ubin screamed running to Donghwa and shielding him with his little body. Young one went to the source and Max went for the bathroom. Taebin didn't see Youngone charging and took the full force of a punch across the face.

Seven screamed so shrilly everyone covered their ears and he raced to his lovers side. "Taebin baby, are you okay?! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Seven screamed kicking at Young one who was just rubbing his fist and looking happier for having hit someone.

"Donghwa are you alright? What happened?" Jumin asked pulling Ubin away from Dongwha who hadn't moved.

"Is it over?" He asked quietly and sounded like he was crying. Hearing Donghwa, Xiah hurried over and UKnow and Kang Ta couldn't help but follow. Hee Jun had found a tiny fridge by the door and was busily emptying the contents.

"It's okay, your okay." Ubin was crying and stroking Donwha's fluffy head.

Donghwa poked his head up and jumped seeing the crowd around him. "What happened?" Jumin repeated gently kneeling beside Ubin.

"I.. I heard the karaoke music..." Donghwa pointed and everyone looked at a large TV on the wall hooked up to a karaoke machine. One of Taebin's music videos was just ending and a BoA one was starting. Hero, who had been sniffing a house plant close by, saw the video and without hesitation tore the TV from the wall and smashed it on the floor. Seven screamed again but everyone ignored him.

"Then what?" Woohyun prompted when Hero just walked away and started to fix his hair in a mirror close by.

"Then he saw me and screamed and started to throw things." Donghwa sniffled and whipped an eye that was already turning black. "He has good aim." Which was followed by a collective "AWWWW" and what would have been a group hug but Ubin screamed and ran at Taebin still in the bed with seven.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Jumin was hurrying after his littlest band member but whether to help or hinder Taebin's situation was up for grabs.

Donghwa, without Ubin at his side looked completely lost as he tried to keep his nose from bleeding on his shirt. "Comere." Xiah went to nursing Donghwa and everyone else turned to watch the fight.

Ubin was clawing at Taebin's face and seven was trying to kick him away while Taebin got a hold of Ubin's throat and wasn't letting go. Jumin reached them and was trying to pry Taebin's hands off Ubin with little effect.

"Well, shit." Young one sighed but his tone was ruined with the happy look on his face at the prospect of getting to beat Taebin again. Woohyun stepped forward after Young one looked back at Donghwa and settled for kneeling beside Dongwha and holding his hand while he told Xiah where it hurt.

"HEY!" Max and Mickey burst from the bathroom holding more bottles of hair spray than what should have been possible.

"THOSE ARE MINE!" Seven screamed then was shut up when Young one kicked him in the head.

Hero hurried over and started to shove hair spray into his pockets along with the food. Kang Ta noticed Hee Jun shoving food in his face and hurried over to slap him across the wrist. "Stop that. honey!" Hee Jun blinked up at Kang Ta while holding a half eaten candy bar. Kang Ta quickly blushed, remembering he was supposed to be mad and tried to think of something mean to say. "The chocolate will go.. straight to your hips." He said lamely and looked away.

"Oh, just make up!" Woohyun said grumpily and stretched as far as he could while still holding onto Dongwha's hand and took the rest of Hee Jun's candy bar.

A ring tone of "And My Heart Will Go on" rose above all the noise and Seven crawled away from the fight to answer his seven shaped cell phone. "Hello....hold on a sec."

Seven jumped up to stand on the bed and raised his hands. "WAIT! SHUT UP! THIS IS IMPORTANT!!"

"Who is it? The producer?" Jumin panted as he still tried to pry Taebin's hands off Ubin's throat as Ubin was starting to sound like a cat with a hairball.

"No!" Seven waved a hand dismissively. "It's my boyfriend, Wheesung! He can't know whose here! I'm supposed to be at a photo shoot on location!"

"Wheesung is your boyfriend? Then...?" Mickey asked pointing to Taebin in the bed.

"I... It's... Just SHHHH!" Seven looked close to cracking.

"NO!" Young one yelled and punched Taebin in the stomach so hard he finally let go of Ubin who fell off the bed gasping.

"Yeah, why should we? Give me that phone!" Max said angrily climbing onto the bed holding a bottle of hair spray like a weapon.

"Wait! OW! WAIT! I'LL MAKE A DEAL!" Seven cried trying to dodge Max's blows and keep his cell phone.

"What kind of deal?" Max asked bonking him on the head one last time.

"You... you all can stay here tonight. There are enough rooms for everyone. Just let me take this call and leave me alone!" Seven begged.

"Just tonight?" Hero asked while looking in a mirror and applied hair spray at a toxic level.

"We'll discuss it in the morning!" Seven said thought gritted teeth and fell to his knees. "PLEASE!"

"Fine." Kang Ta stood and waited to see if anyone was going to argue, but no one did. "Everyone go find your rooms and go to bed soon. There are games to play tomorrow and hopefully a show to save."

Everyone started to hurry out of the room, eager to find the best rooms to claim as their own. It turned out there weren't enough room for everyone, there would have to be two to a room or people would be sleeping out by the newly placed seven shaped pool in the back yard.

"This is mine and UKnows room!" Hero cried and dragged UKnow into a room and slammed to door before there were any arguments. Mickey quickly grabbed Xiah and disappeared into another room.

"Come on." Ubin said a little hoarsly and took Donghwa's hand and lead him into the closest room. Woohyun, Young one, Max, Jumin, Hee Jun and Kang Ta all stared at each other.

"So..." Jumin said as tension started to mount.

Top 5 Sci-Fi Movies on Netflix

5. Predestination (2014)

Genre: Science Fiction, Thriller

Actor: Alicia Pavlis, Annabelle Norman, Arielle O’Neill, Ben Prendergast, Carolyn Shakespeare-Allen, Cate Wolfe, Christopher Bunworth, Christopher Kirby, Christopher Sommers, Christopher Stollery, Dennis Coard, Dick York, Elise Jansen, Eliza D’Souza, Eliza Matengu, Ethan Hawke, Felicity Steel, Finegan Sampson, Freya Stafford, Giordano Gangl, Grant Piro, Hayley Butcher, Jim Knobeloch, Katie Avram, Kristie Jandric, Kuni Hashimoto, Lucinda Armstrong Hall, Madeleine West, Maja Sarosiek, Marky Lee Campbell, Milla Simmonds, Monique Heath, Noah Taylor, Noel Herriman, Olivia Sprague, Paul Moder, Raj Sidhu, Rob Jenkins, Sara El-Yafi, Sarah Snook, Sophie Cusworth, Tony Nikolakopoulos, Tyler Coppin, Vanessa Crouch

Director: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig, The Spierig Brothers

Rating: R

One of the most original time-travel thrillers since 12 Monkeys. A brilliant subversion of the Time Paradox trope, with enough plot twists to keep you entertained until well after the movie is finished. Predestination is an amazing movie with great performances from Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. It’s a movie that will feel like Inception, when it comes to messing with your mind and barely anyone has heard of it. It is highly underrated and unknown, sadly.

4. Train to Busan (2016)

Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Science Fiction, Thriller

Actor: Ahn So-hee, An So-hee, Baek Seung-hwan, Cha Chung-hwa, Chang-hwan Kim, Choi Gwi-hwa, Choi Woo-shik, Choi Woo-sung, Dong-seok Ma, Eui-sung Kim, Gong Yoo, Han Ji-eun, Han Sung-soo, Jang Hyuk-jin, Jeong Seok-yong, Jung Seok-yong, Jung Young-ki, Jung Yu-mi, Kim Chang-hwan, Kim Eui-sung, Kim Jae-rok, Kim Joo-heon, Kim Ju-hun, Kim Keum-soon, Kim Soo-ahn, Kim Soo-an, Kim Su-an, Kim Won-Jin, Lee Joo-sil, Lee Joong-ok, Ma Dong-seok, Park Myung-shin, Sang-ho Yeon, Seok-yong Jeong, Shim Eun-kyung, Sohee, Soo-an Kim, Soo-jung Ye, Terri Doty, Woo Do-im, Woo-sik Choi, Ye Soo-jung, Yeon Sang-ho, Yoo Gong, Yu-mi Jeong, Yu-mi Jung

A zombie virus breaks out and catches up with a father as he is taking his daughter from Seoul to Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city. Watch them trying to survive to reach their destination, a purported safe zone.

The acting is spot-on; the set pieces are particularly well choreographed. You’ll care about the characters. You’ll feel for the father as he struggles to keep his humanity in the bleakest of scenarios.

It’s a refreshingly thrilling disaster movie, a perfect specimen of the genre.

3. Serenity (2005)

Genre: Action, Adventure, Science Fiction, Thriller

Actor: Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Carrie ‘CeCe’ Cline, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Colin Patrick Lynch, David Krumholtz, Demetra Raven, Dennis Keiffer, Elaine Mani Lee, Erik Weiner, Gina Torres, Glenn Howerton, Hunter Ansley Wryn, Jessica Huang, Jewel Staite, Linda Wang, Logan O’Brien, Marcus Young, Mark Winn, Marley McClean, Matt McColm, Michael Hitchcock, Morena Baccarin, Nathan Fillion, Nectar Rose, Neil Patrick Harris, Peter James Smith, Rafael Feldman, Rick Williamson, Ron Glass, Ryan Tasz, Sarah Paulson, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Tamara Taylor, Terrell Tilford, Terrence Hardy Jr., Tristan Jarred, Weston Nathanson, Yan Feldman

Serenity is a futuristic sci-fi film that serves as a feature-length continuation of the story-line from the TV program Firefly (2002–2003). The story revolves around the captain (Nathan Fillion) and crew of the titular space vessel that operate as space outlaws, running cargo and smuggling missions throughout the galaxy. They take on a mysterious young psychic girl and her brother, the girl carrying secrets detrimental to the intergalactic government, and soon find themselves being hunted by a nefarious assassin (Chiwetel Ejiofor). The first feature-length film from Joss Whedon (The Avengers), Serenity is a lively and enjoyable adventure, replete with large-scale action sequences, strong characterizations and just the right touch of wry humor. An enjoyable viewing experience that stands alone without demanding that you have familiarity with the original program beforehand.

2. Sorry to Bother You (2018)

Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Science Fiction

Actor: Armie Hammer, Danny Glover, David Cross, Ed Moy, Forest Whitaker, James D. Weston II, Jermaine Fowler, John Ozuna, Kate Berlant, Lakeith Stanfield, Lily James, Marcella Bragio, Michael X. Sommers, Molly Brady, Omari Hardwick, Patton Oswalt, Robert Longstreet, Rosario Dawson, Steven Yeun, Teresa Navarro, Terry Crews, Tessa Thompson, Tom Woodruff Jr., Tony Toste, W. Kamau Bell

Director: Boots Riley

In the year of the Netflix TV Show Maniac, another absurdist title stole critics’ hearts. Sorry to Bother You is a movie set in an alternate reality, where capitalism and greed are accentuated. Lakeith Stanfield (Atlanta) is a guy called Cassius who struggles to pay his bills. However, when at a tele-marketing job an old-timer tells him to use a “white voice”, he starts moving up the ranks of his bizarre society. A really smart movie that will be mostly enjoyed by those who watch it for its entertaining value, and not so much for its commentary. It is like a Black Mirror episode stretched into a movie.

1. Ex Machina (2015)

Genre: Drama, Science Fiction

Actor: Alex Garland, Alicia Vikander, Chelsea Li, Claire Selby, Corey Johnson, Domhnall Gleeson, Elina Alminas, Gana Bayarsaikhan, Oscar Isaac, Sonoya Mizuno, Symara A. Templeman, Symara Templeman, Tiffany Pisani

Director: Alex Garland

Ex Machina is the directorial debut of Alex Garland, the writer of 28 Days Later (and 28 Weeks Later). It tells the story of Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson from About Time), an IT developer who is invited by a billionaire CEO to participate in a groundbreaking experiment — administering a Turing test to a humanoid robot called Ava (Alicia Vikander). Meeting the robot with feelings of superiority at first, questions of trust and ethics soon collide with the protagonist’s personal views. While this dazzling film does not rely on them, the visual effects and the overall look-feel of Ex Machina are absolutely stunning and were rightly picked for an Academy Award. They make Ex Machina feel just as casually futuristic as the equally stylish Her and, like Joaquin Phoenix, Gleeson aka Caleb must confront the feelings he develops towards a machine, despite his full awareness that ‘she’ is just that. This is possibly as close to Kubrick as anyone got in the 21st century. Ex Machina is clever, thrilling, and packed with engaging ideas.

I've been rewatching My Father is Strange. And I love it. I really do. There are a variety of female characters and the siblings are very protective of one another. BUT.

Ahn Joong Hee needs to correct his anger management strategies. Somehow I had forgotten how much he throws furniture and breaks household items in anger. He even grabs Mi Young's arm in a fit of anger to cause her pain when he's drunk. He punches people at work. I am here for all the other romance and angst, but there's no way this drama would be made in 2024 and for the abusive outbursts to be displayed by the romantic lead. I'm so thankful we've made progress. I forgot how frequently the dramas would be filled with the casual beating of children too. How could I forget all this?

These are the hallmarks of a habitual abuser and alcoholic. Maybe he's nice to Mi Young now. Or maybe still 5 years from now. But when he's angry. Or annoyed. Or embarrassed. Or drunk. Or facing pressure at work. He'll grab her arm again. Or throw a chair in her direction. Or grab the dinner she just made and throw it on the floor. Or break the mirror next to where she's standing so the glass cuts up her legs and feet. And then he'll say he's sorry. Maybe right away. Maybe tomorrow. Or a week after the silent treatment. But he'll cry and his voice will shake and he'll convince her to come back. She'll try to walk away and he'll run up and grab her wrist or give her a back hug and talk about how it's made him feel bad that he hurt her. He'll make it about how he felt about the outburst instead of what she's putting up with.

I'm in the home stretch now. Just 10 episodes left of the drama. I will not be rewatching this again. I don't know. How did I forget all this and give this character a pass in 2017? Is it my age? Have I just been married longer? Is it because I have a kid now and look at romantic partners differently? Is it because of changing societal norms?

For any of you that actually read this under the cut. Please be safe. Cut your losses when you see those red flags. Ask your friends if they see those red flags. Sometimes they see it differently from the outside. Don't stay just because you've already invested time or money in a relationship. If it's safe to get out, please do. And I know for some, it's not safe to leave. I know.

I've seen a lot of complaining in MDL and in the replies on some drama gifsets about the trend toward all these men that are just total simps for the women in dramas these days. And what about it? I'd rather have some sexy dilf or a hot noona chaser help me get revenge on my childhood abusers then some puffed up peacock that throws a chair in a conference room because someone gave him constructive advice once.
