Review: Cruel City
Tumblr media
Year: 2013 Country: Korea Platform: Viki Heartless City (also: Cruel City) is one of the very first KDramas I ever watched and still one of my all-time favorites. It’s had a few rewatches from me over the years but its been about 5 years since the last one. As we are coming up on 10 years of my watching Dramas I’ve had the desire to go back and look of some of those early favs to see how they hold up.
This one absolutely does.
A gritty, cop noir drama, the show focuses on our anti-hero ‘Doctor’s Son’ as he plots and fights to make it to the top of Seoul’s drug running underworld. He is played to absolute stunning perfection by Jung Kyung Ho who layers him with depth and pathos, his silences are intense, his focus piercing. He is compelling from the first moment he appears on screen.
Around him, he assembles a crew of broken, flawed misfits and through sheer force of will shapes them into a family. Chief among them are his lieutenants Madam Jin Sook and playboy Hyeon Soo. His foil is the cop, Hyeong Min who is trying to unravel the layers of corruption, deception and crime all around him, using his young sister-in-law Soo Min as an undercover agent/sex-worker.
The performances are riveting, every member of the cast in top form, providing depth and nuance to their characters, infusing otherwise despicable characters with a lovable charm.
The directing is solid, fully seated in its genre. And the writing, while stretching the suspension of disbelief just shy of too far with the various twists and turns of the plots, saves itself by being deeply rooted in its understanding of the story’s characters. While there is an element of romance it is secondary to the much larger plot, which can sometimes be a refreshing change in a romance-heavy drama landscape.
Watch this when you want something dark and painful and beautiful, when you want to be reminded that even at their ugliest people are capable of change, and love and there is a bleak kind of beauty in that. However, I must advise trigger warnings for drug use, violence, and depictions of sexual assault and murder, on screen, as well as an on screen sex scene, so proceed with caution if those are concerns for you.

I've finally drawn again! And of course it's Roxas again! From the same crossover au as usual! TwT

As a heartless I imagine Sora loses himself a little when feeling extremely emotional, but instead of getting aggressive he's just like the ship's weird cat. Sometimes you just need some lap time to calm down again :)

Fandom: Heartless City
Pairing: Jung Shi Hyun & Ji Hyeong Min
Rating: T
Archive warnings: None
Tags: post-canon; character study; angst; mentions of canonical character deaths
Summary: Five years out from the mission that changed the trajectory of his life, Hyeong Min is still trying to process it all. A chance encounter may give him the space he needs to fully let go of his painful past, and the future that will never be.
This is a story about healing from trauma in a beautiful moment far away from the pain of the past. It is about the unique connection of those bonded by tragedy. It is about making space to mourn what was lost and never was.
AN: Is this story basically a love letter to the summer in my 20s that I spent in Spain camouflaged as a sort of fix-it-fic? Maybe yes it is.
