I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo deciso di parlare nuovamente di horror, spostandoci in Spagna e discutendo di un’opera affascinante ossia Marrowbone. La storia parla di questa famiglia che si trasferisce dall’Inghilterra agli Stati Uniti e vanno ad abitare in una casa isolata. Qui si nascondono da qualcuno o qualcosa e riescono a passare dei momenti felici,…

Search: WWW (2019)
Tumblr media
This show is framed as a big corporate drama, but it's really about the relationships between three amazing women. I liked pretty much all of it. I particularly liked how the history between these women is given more weight than the romances.
My only complaint is that there aren't enough shows like this out there.
The lens the show uses for these characters is very matter-of-fact. If this were a Hollywood production, I'd have expected some kind of girl-boss power fantasy. The show just puts the women in charge, flaws and all, and trusts the writing and acting to carry the audience through. It does all of this remarkably well.
I had trouble with the first episode, as it kind of throws a curveball and puts you into the corporate / political deep end, but once the show gets going in episode two, it doesn't stop.
The Performances
Im Soo-jung as Bae Ta-mi (Tammy). Soo-jung does a great job as (pretty much) the main character and the center of the drama. I didn't always care about the corporate nonsense being thrown around by the script, but I never felt bored watching Bae Ta-mi. You get to see the whole range from charming and feisty, to exhausted, sad, needy/anxious, and even happy. Really fun to watch.
Lee Da-hee as Cha Hyeon (Scarlet). This was one of the standout performances. Cha Hyeon was the most active of the characters and all of the best moments came from watching her interactions with the other characters. Lee Da-hee was having fun with this role, and that showed through the entire performance.
Jeon Hye-jin as Song Ga-kyeong. The most subdued of the three leads. The writers chose to make this character a bit of an enigma. Jeon Hye-jin had a tough job as she had to have good chemistry with the other leads, while having the least amount of good character interaction, and she had to still seem believable. It took almost the entire series for me to really understand the character, but Jeon Hye-jin had enough charisma to keep me interested throughout.
Ye Soo-jung as Jang Hee-eun. The big villain of the series and one of the more interesting performances. Ye Soo-jung did a great job playing a harmless old lady (when it helped her get what she wanted) while switching on a dime to a menacing abusive terror. Her motives were relatively simple, but the character never felt like a cardboard cutout. Really interesting to watch and an amazing change from her role in Do You Like Brahms.
Everyone else! This was a true ensemble show and all of the characters brought something fun to the show, even that annoying two-timing ex (Pyo Joon-soo). Standouts: Kwon Hae-hyo as CEO "Brian", Jang Ki-yong as Park Morgan, Lee Jae-wook as Seol Ji-hwan (especially funny in the fake drama), and Oh Ah-yeon as "Ellie".
TL; DR:
Smartly written with very good performances from the leads. It's refreshing to see a show that has women in charge without pandering or falling into harmful stereotypes. The portrayal of the relationships between these three women blew me away.

Yoo Yeon-seok's heartache for Moon Ga-young returning the uniform..
Tumblr media
'Understanding Love' Yoo Yeon-seok caught Moon Ga-young.
In JTBC's 'Understanding Love', which aired on the 19th, Sang-soo Ha (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) caught Soo-young Ahn (played by Ga-young Moon) returning the uniform.
On this day, So Kyung-pil (Moon Tae-yu) asked Ha Sang-soo, "Do you like Park Mi-kyung (Keum Sae-rok)?" In response, Ha Sang-soo acted calmly, "It's in the past, how about it?"
Meanwhile, So Kyeong-pil said, "Joe-im Ahn said he would return the uniform," and Sang-soo Ha was overcome with a strange feeling. When asked why, So Kyeong-pil answered vaguely, "What could be the reason?"
Then, when Soo-young Ahn returned the uniform, Sang-soo Ha said, “Are you really quitting? Ahn Soo-young was taken aback, and people returned the uniforms following Ahn Soo-young, saying, "Sang-soo, we are now proud of our plain clothes fashion." Ha Sang-soo, who grasped the situation in an instant, hit his forehead in embarrassment.

  Deux inspecteurs de police de la brigade criminelle enquêtent sur une série de meurtres de lycéens…
    “Yuwolui ilgi” (6월의 일기), ou “Diary of June” pour la distribution internationale, est un thriller policier sud-coréen datant de 2005, dirigé par Im Kyeong-soo, à qui l’on doit également “Passion Flower” (2013). Les acteurs principaux sont Shin Eun-kyung, qu’on a pu voir dans “My Wife Is a Gangster” (2001), Yunjin Kim, qu’on a pu voir dans “Seven Days” (2008), Eric Mun, qu’on a pu voir dans “A Bittersweet Life” (2005), Yoon Joo-sang, qu’on a pu voir dans “King and the Clown” (2005), Maeng Se-chang, qu’on a pu voir dans “Ode to My Father” (2014), et Kim Kkot-bi, qu’on a pu voir dans “Kundo: Age of the Rampant” (2014). Ce métrage est paru le 1er décembre 2005.
L’histoire proposée par “Diary of June” nous emmène dans le milieu scolaire coréen. Deux garçons du même collège sont assassinés. Dans leur estomac, on retrouve des capsules contenant des morceaux d’un journal intime qui donnent des indications sur la prochaine victime. Soupçonnant qu’il pourrait y avoir la possibilité que le tueur se trouve dans le même établissement scolaire, l’inspecteur Chu Ja-young (Shin Eun-kyung), et son partenaire Kim Dong-wook (Éric Mun), enquêtent sur place et tente d’identifier l’écriture en la comparant à des échantillons réalisés par les élèves. Quand enfin ils identifient l’auteur des fragments retrouvés dans les victimes, ils découvrent que l’étudiant en question, Jin-mo, est décédé, renversé par une voiture un mois auparavant, jetant ainsi le trouble sur leurs investigations. Les inspecteurs finissent par trouver le journal intime de Jin-mo en perquisitionnant son logement. Ils découvrent que ce dernier a été la cible du harcèlement permanent de ses camarades de classe…
Le tueur en série fait toujours recette dans le cinéma coréen. Périodiquement, ce sujet revient sur le devant de la scène. Dans bien des cas, nous avons à faire à un psychopathe. Dans “Diary of June” l’approche est différente. Dans la première partie du film, le développement s’articule comme les classiques du genre, avec la découverte d’éléments importants à travers les investigations des enquêteurs. Toutefois, la particularité du scénario concocté par Go Jeong-woon réside dans la bascule du récit, qui se transforme en une histoire de vengeance. On découvre que les victimes étaient tous les bourreaux d’un camarade de classe qui avait été élu au titre de souffre-douleur de la classe. Dépité, ce dernier va se suicider dans des circonstances dramatiques. Fatalement, avec une telle orientation, le récit prend une coloration dramatique. Les enquêteurs, qui vont beaucoup s’investir dans leur enquête, ne vont pas sortir moralement intacts de leur investigation, notamment l’inspectrice Ja-young qui sera personnellement impactée par la tournure des événements.
Le développement va essentiellement poser le focus sur le personnage d’inspectrice de police incarné par Shin Eun-kyung. Cette dernière est une jeune femme énergique, volontaire, et chose assez rare pour être soulignée, effrontée, ne se laissant en rien marcher sur les pieds, avec peu de respect pour sa hiérarchie. En sous-intrigue, on la positionne en difficulté dans sa vie personnelle, devant s’occuper de son neveu suite au décès de sa sœur. Les relations avec l’adolescent sont tumultueuses, ce dernier n’ayant que peu d’intérêt pour les études, préférant s’adonner aux graffitis urbains. L’enquêtrice va se retrouver directement impliquée dans son enquête dès lors que des connexions avec son propre passé vont venir se dévoiler. Elle forme un duo avec un jeune inspecteur interprété par Eric Mun, dont le développement est nettement moins accentué que pour sa partenaire féminine.
D’une durée de 105 minutes, “Diary of June” offre de nombreuses scènes dynamiques, notamment dans la dernière partie où le rythme s’intensifie. L’histoire se déroule sur quelques jours dans un contexte contemporain. Le film s’ouvre sur le premier meurtre, en plein jour, sur un axe de passage avec une foule prise de panique. Le métrage se termine par une série de flashbacks mettant en scène certains protagonistes de l’histoire découvrant certains aspects de l’histoire qu’ils ne connaissaient pas. Le nœud de l’histoire réside dans la connexion entre l’inspectrice Chu Ja-young et l’auteur des meurtres ainsi qu’autour des motivations de celui-ci, dans une forme qu’il n’est pas possible de décrire sans dévoiler des éléments du suspense.
Les valeurs de productions sont plutôt bonnes autour de ce métrage. La photographie proposée par Kim Cheol-ju est sympathique et rappelle sensiblement celle mise en place par Darius Khondji sur “Seven” (1995) de David Fincher, avec une grosse présence de la pluie, transformant cet élément naturel en personnage. Le cinéaste joue également avec la lumière, offrant une multitude de scènes de nuit, dans une semi-obscurité. Ahn Sang-hyeon s’occupe de gérer les effets spéciaux, corps mutilés, giclées de sang, etc. La bande musicale est bien orchestrée avec une belle présence dans les moments de tension. Enfin, l’édition réalisée par Kyung Min-ho permet d’obtenir un film captivant et dynamique.
En conclusion, “Diary of June” est un bon petit thriller policier disposant d’une histoire intéressante, d’une intrigue usuelle et d’un développement classique. Le rythme est bien équilibré entre l’action et les investigations, le récit est fluide et la narration fait appel à des flashbacks, notamment dans la dernière partie du film. La photographie offre de nombreuses séquences sous la pluie, la bande musicale est agréable et l’édition nous garde captivés durant l’intégralité du récit. La distribution offre de bonnes prestations et on se réjouira de la présence d’un personnage féminin sémillant incarné avec énergie par Shin Eun-kyung. L’ensemble se laisse regarder avec plaisir et fait son travail de divertissement. À voir …

Reseña del kdrama "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" (2018)
Tumblr media
Título: My ID is Gangnam Beauty / 내 아이디는 강남미인 / Nae Aidineun Gangnammiin
Género: Drama, Romance, Comedia, Amistad, Universitario, Psicológico.
No. de Episodios: 16
Cadena: jTBC
Periodo de emisión: 27 de julio del 2018 al 15 de septiembre del 2018.
Sinopsis: Kang Mi Rae (Im Soo Hyang) tenía una personalidad tímida debido a que su apariencia no cumplía con los estándares de belleza. Ella fue molestada e intimidada cuando asistía a la escuela. Ahora, Kang Mi Rae es 'hermosa' después de someterse a una cirugía plástica; sin embargo, todavía tiene su personalidad tímida. Kang Mi Rae comienza su primer año en la universidad. La gente sigue siendo mala con ella y la llaman "Gangnam Beauty" de una manera peyorativa.  Mientras tanto, Do Kyung Seok (Cha Eun Woo) asiste a la misma universidad. Él no juzga a las personas por su apariencia. Él se preocupa por lo que hay adentro y no afuera. A Do Kyung Seok le comienza a gustar Kang Mi Rae. Yeon Woo Young (Kwak Dong Yeon) es un profesor que esta en la facultad de química, es de una familia pobre y ha sufrido varias rupturas debido a su situación financiera. Yeon Woo Young inicialmente se enamora de Kang Mi Rae por su aparienia, pero sus sentimientos se vuelven más profundos a medida que llega a apreciar su personalidad.
Rate: ★★★★☆ 4.5
Tumblr media
AMÉ con todo mi corazón My ID is Gangnam Beauty; sin duda es un kdrama que se quedará en mi corazón por mucho tiempo. No solo fue entretenida y con un cast fenomenal (Cha Eun Woo, Im Soo Hyang y Jo Woo Ri); sino que los personajes fueron tan bien desarrollados que comprendes el mensaje que te va enseñando conforme pasa cada capítulo. Eso lo más valioso que este drama te puede brindar.
Tumblr media
El amor hacia uno mismo, la aceptación, el perdón, la autoestima, los prejuicios y el crecimiento personal son los principales temas que identifiqué, mismos que van acompañados de hermosas frases y complejos personajes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ahora sí, vamos con la rivalidad del millón: My ID is Gangnam Beauty vs. True Beauty.
En mi opinión, My ID is Gangnam Beauty es superior a True Beauty en el sentido de que construyen la autoestima de Mi Rae poco a poquito. Lo que más detesté de True Beauty es que al final a Joo Kyung le tomó solo medio capítulo amarse a sí misma. Hay quienes dirán, "pero en esos 30 minutos transcurrieron varios días" y sí, pero el amor hacia uno mismo es el mensaje más valioso del kdrama y no le dedicaron el tiempo suficiente a plasmar ese mensaje en cada capítulo. En My ID is Gangnam Beauty, cada capítulo tenía una escena memorable que me hacía reflexionar sobre los estándares de belleza y el amor hacia uno mismo.
Tumblr media
Ahora, respecto al personaje que interpreta Cha Eun Woo, debo decir que Do Kyung Seok y Lee Su Ho son muy parecidos; pero algo que amé infinitamente de Kyung Seok es que desde el principio fue un apoyo para Mi Rae. Fue paciente, amable y romántico. Su Ho, por otro lado, me pareció lindo y enigmático al principio. Pero a la mitad me aburrió y no sentí que fuera lo que Joo Kyung necesitaba. En cambio, mientras más conocía a Kyung Seok más me enamoraba de su personaje.
Tumblr media
Curiosidades:
El término "Gangnam Beauty" es despectivo y se refiere a las mujeres que se hicieron hermosas con cirugía plástica. "Gangnam" se refiere a un área en Gangnam, Seúl, que es famosa por sus numerosas clínicas de cirugía plástica. 
A lo largo del drama podemos escuchar distintas canciones de distintos idols:
BTS en los episodios 4 y 15 (The truth Untold), 5 (Fake Love), 7 (DNA), 11 (Euphoria) y 14 (Epiphany).
BTOB en los episodios 7 y 16 (Only One For Me).
PSY en los episodios 1 y 2 (New Face) y 13 (Gangnam Style).
EXO en el episodio 3 (Universe).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Le doy a My ID is Gangnam Beauty 4.5 estrellas.
★★★★☆
OST: 4 estrellas
Actuación: 4 estrellas
Personajes: 4.5 estrellas
Historia: 4.5 estrellas
Cinematografía: 4.5 estrellas
Química de la pareja: 5 estrellas

*MY ID IS GANGNAM BEAUTY REVIEW*
*SPOILERS - DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU!*
Tumblr media
As we all know, the beginning of this drama was quite hard for me to go through. Partly, because Kang Mi Rae was so insecure about herself, and because I wasn’t able to get on the same level of understanding as her. BUT I didn’t give up and muscled through it (I’m so proud of myself).
After a few days of pondering through this drama after I finished watching it initially, I’ve come to realized that the beginning was so hard for me to get through because it was so real. All of the incidents that were portrayed, they’re straight out of reality. When Kang Mi Rae followed Chan Woo into the room alone, my insides were screaming GET OUT YOU IDIOT! RUN AWAY! But I know that situations like that come too often, and most times no one comes to save them. The bullying, the backstabbing, the sexism, EVERYTHING, is so real. And it happens on a daily basis as well.
Tumblr media
Kang Mi Rae.....where do I even begin with her. At first she wanted to make me pull my hair out, jump into the screen, grab her by the shoulders, and tell her to get over it! And at other times, I began to empathize with her and wanted to giver her a hug and tell her everything will be alright. Lim Soo-Hyang was wonderful to watch, and she perfected every single emotion to a T. Whether it was sadness, shocked, happiness, pain, confusion, she did a really great job of capturing you through the screen. I was invested in her, I wanted her to become stronger and confident and just happy. I wanted so much for her.
Tumblr media
Cha Eun Woo’s portrayal of Do Kyeong Seok was absolutely amazing. For those who know Cha Eun Woo outside of this role, his personality is a complete 180. Cha Eun Woo is bubbly, smiles a lot, basically a ray of sunshine. Do Kyeong Seok, on the other hand, was stoic, quiet, and collected (majority of the time, haha). It was amazing to see him bring out this different side of him and slowly break Do Kyeong Seok out of his shell. Those eye smiles at the last few episodes were giving me life! My criticisms are at a bare minimal here, considering this to be Cha Eun Woo’s first lead role; he did a really great job.
Tumblr media
Ahhh - the girl I loved to hate. I called it from the beginning that she was a going to be a snake, and I was right (of course). Her character met up to my expectations, she played just the right amount of “bitchiness” and “annoying-ness” along with “pain” and “pity”. While I did hate her for about 95% of the drama, I felt like it was supposed to be that way. I was glad they humanized her at the end, and showed as to why she is the way she is. I was also glad that they got her the help she needed and that she was able to overcome her issues. Jo Woo-Ri did a really great job with this character. I loveeeeeeeeed to hate her, and that was her role. Kudos to her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YOU CANNOT DENY THEIR CHEMISTRY! They played off one another so well and they knew how to grab your attention and reel you in like a helpless fish. I enjoyed that he was so genuine towards her and stepped outside of his comfort zone for her time and time again. Each character brought out the best side in each other, and they complimented each other really well.
When Mi Rae finally mustered up the courage to tell him she liked him, I was screaming for the heavens. It was like FINALLLYYYYYYYY!!! It made me super giddy and happy and just relieved. It seemed like when she was able to confess, all this weight was removed from my shoulders (and I’m sure hers too). It was a huge breath of fresh air.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I enjoyed how awkward there relationship was. It was a cute awkward towards almost too awkward. It was played off really well though since both of them never dated before. There whole conversation of “Now we are dating. What? We are? Well aren’t we? Yes, you’re right.” Hahaha - I enjoyed that so much. I was also glad to see their relationship grow as well (especially with the short amount of time we had left of this drama). As their relationship grew, Mi Rae and Kyeong Seok both grew as individuals as well. Mi Rae became more confident and less worried about others, and Kyeong Seok became more sociable towards others. And he began smiling more.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My heart was literally dying when Kyeong Seok wanted to grant Mi Rae’s middle school wish of going on dates and etc. It was the most adorable thing ever and these little things seemed to have helped Mi Rae in a huge way, whether she realized it or not.
The scene where they had to sleep at Mi Rae’s parent’s house because they got stranded, was the turning point in Mi Rae’s character, in my opinion. This is where she truly realized that a person’s physical attribute isn’t everything and it doesn’t give you everything you want in life. 
“How can you still like me when you know what I used to look like? What do you like about me?” “YOU’RE JUST YOU.”
Who knew that those three words can hit my heart so hard.
Tumblr media
When speaking of relationships, we can’t forget about the bromance in this drama. I love their love-hate relationship with one another. Whether they want to admit it or not, they both enjoyed each other’s company. Woo Young was such a team player in this drama. He wanted what he wanted, but when he realized Mi Rae’s true feelings, he wished her luck and happiness instead. That shows a true and grown side of Woo Young that is super appealing to me.
Woo Young’s feelings for Mi Rae definitely helped Kyeong Seok come into realization of his own feelings for Mi Rae. If there was no Woo Young, there’s a possibility that Mi Rae and Kyeong Seok would not have opened up about how they feel for one another.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before I sum up my review I wanted to give a quick shout out to the moms in this drama! Y’ALL ARE SERIOUSLY THE BEST EVER!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Final Thoughts:
I will definitely re-watch this drama again. The plot was refreshing, the characters and actors/actresses worked with one another really well, and it was all tied up perfectly at the ending. For me, the ending is the make it or break it, and this ending definitely did justice for this drama. As you get to see that confident Mi Rae and that happy Kyeong Seok that you’ve been yearning for this entire drama.
Next on my list, their kissing scene. It still has me doing flashbacks on it because it was so adorable. At first I was a little disappointed, but then it evolved into this meaningful and sensual kiss which I began to appreciate. It was this cute and romantic sort of kiss, nothing to heavy and sexual, which was perfect for this drama and that scene.  
I was really happy to see Mi Rae blossom into herself again, that girl that she knew was inside of her but wasn’t able to show the world. I had literal tears in my eyes when I saw her smiling and confident in who she is and who she loved. This was one of the best things that this drama could have given us! *Spoiler* When she preached to Soo Ah about how tired she is of everyone’s judgments on a person’s appearance and how these judgments can affect a person, made me want to stand up and clap for her. She hit the nail right on the head. Girls are being told to lose weight when they’re perfect the way they are, how girls are being told to get their faces fixed to become prettier; being beautiful does not determine happiness, which Mi Rae knew all too well. It was the perfect slap of reality to Soo Ah, Mi Rae, and everyone watching the drama. 
Your appearance does not determine your happiness. 
Tumblr media
Alright, no more rambling. Ask me questions and/or leave comments on your thoughts on this drama! I want to know :)
Thanks for reading. <3 defineParis

5 Non-Romance Kdramas
I know. I know. Everyone wants sweet romance scenes. But every now and then we need to give other Dramas space. Dramas that shine with a good plot, interesting themes or storylines, diverse characters or thrilling vibes. I love to watch romance series, that's without a doubt, but I also really enjoy action, thriller or horror Dramas.
With that being said, I collected a few of my personal non-romance Kdramas, that focus on different genres and non-romantic storylines (but still offer some relationships between the characters).
Let me know what you think about them and if you have other suggestions!
- Sweet Home [스위트홈] // 2020 by Lee Eung-Bok & Jang Young-Woo // 10 Episodes
If you haven't watche Sweet Home yet, are you even a Kdrama Fan? It is based on the same name Webtoon and tells the story about the occupants of Green Home Building Compelx who get locked up inside as strange things start to happening outside. People start to turn into monsters of every sort, starting with heavy nosebleeding and fainting. There are many main characters in this story but it mostly evolves around Cha Hyun-Su who is a Hikikomori ( a loner, or a person who never leaves the house) and mobbing victim. As the story moves on many more interesting characters are introduced such as Lee Eun-Hyuk a medical student who becomes the leader of the group, the mysterious hitman Pyeon Sang-Wook or the charismatic firefighter Seo Yi-Kyeong.
It is definitely a horro series so if you can't watch things like that I don't recommend it. It has some jump scares as well as bloody scenes so if you are sensitive towards these pictures please refer from watching. It also needs a trigger warning because mental health problems are shown. But if you can handle these type of storylines than you will love Sweet Home!
Main Actresses and Actors: Song Kang as Cha Hyun-Su // Lee Do-Hyun as Lee Eun-Hyuk // Lee Si-Young as Seo Yi-Kyeong // Lee Jin-Wook as Pyeon Sang-Wook
Tumblr media
- Vagabond [배가본드] // 2019 by Yoo In-Sik // 16 Episodes
Now this one remains one of the most thrilling and interesting Kdramas I have ever watched. The story evolves around a mysterious plane crash, terror organizations and bribed politicians. The main hero of this series Cha Dal-Gun (played by the incredible Lee Seung-Ri) wants to get revenge for his little nephew and with the help of Go Hae-Ri who works for the Korean National Intelligence Service he tries to discover the people who are behind the plane crash. It's a Drama which definitely has action movie vibes to it.
This Drama is extremely suitable for binge watching so be aware!
Main Actresses and Actors: Lee Seung-Gi as Cha Dal-Gun // Bae Suzy as Go Hae-Ri // Shin Sung-Rok as Gi Tae-Ung
- Save Me [구해줘] // 2017 by Kim Sung-Soo // 16 Episodes
This Drama is about a young girl who moves with her family from Seoul to the suburbs of Daegu. After the death of her younger brother, her parents get dragged into a religious cult and she becomes the main target of the cult leader who wants to form her into his own 'spiritual mother'. As her father gets completely brain washed Sang-Mi is unable to escape. Han Sang-Hwan (a former school mate) and his friends eventually try to save her from the cult.
I think I never saw a similar plot before so this one is really interesting to watch. It has a lot of untypical style choice, the area it plays in is rarely seen in other Kdramas. Most of the characters have the typical Satori (사투리) Dialect which is also rare. It is thrilling and has excellent cliffhangers so this one as well has binge watching potential.
Main Actresses and Actors: Ok Taec-Yeon as Han Sang-Hwan // Seo Yea-Ji as Im Sang-Mi // Woo Do-Hwan as Suk Dong-Chul
- The School Nurse Files [보건교사 안은영 ] // 2020 by Lee Kyoung-Mi // 6 Episodes
The School Nurse Files is about a woman who is able to see 'Jellies' (which are human desires, spirits and feelings) that appear in the school she is working at. Her job is to keep the students safe and try to discover the source of those 'Jellies'. She befriends the son of the founder of that school Hong In-Pyo who has a magic protection shield against those creatures. Along her way she meets many other new friends. This Drama is so weird that you just can't stop watching it. It's plotline, characters and features are totally unique and everything but normal. It feels like a different universe which it totally is.
I highly recommend this one if you need a quick pause from your usual Kdrama Storylines. Because it has only 6 episodes it doesn't take away much time but is still really worthy to watch.
Main Actresses and Actors: Jung Yu-Mi as Ahn Eun-Young // Nam Joo-Hyuk as Hong In-Pyo
Tumblr media
- Extra Curricular [인간수업] // 2020 by Kim Jin-Min // 10 Episodes
The last one on this list is a short Drama as well. It tells the story about a highschooler named Oh Ji-Soo who is an unpopular kid in his school and without parents. As he needs to make money (and he wants to make a lot) he runs a highly controversial business. His secret gets discovered by his class mate Bae Gyu-Ri and he is forced to work together with her in order to silence her. As the story develops both of them get into dangerous situations and their secret business is about to get exposed.
This Drama in my opinion is a bit controversial but still worth a watch. As it tells a story we normally don't hear and also talks about serious topics without glorifying them it can have the potential to make people think. If you have no problems watching violent scenes and if you are not sensitive about themes like prostitution you should definitely give it a try.

Comment:
I absolutely love this drama, they did a terrific job with the plot and the casting of the characters. The drama depicted reality, it did not sugar coat things and showed them as they really are. One thing that it also did amazingly in is keep it light and comedic. For example the relationship between Tami and Morgan was realistic. The writers/producers did not only show the romantic side to their relationship but also showed us the struggles they had to go through because of their age gap and of the differences in the things they want for their future.
Tumblr media
A large part of the show focuses on “political drama” that happens between the main character and the side characters. Through out all of this, they were able to keep a light overall tone and make it comedic, even some situations where the atmosphere was supposed to be serious. Another thing the show does amazingly is making the viewer emphasise with the characters. The roles are so well thought out that there are no inconsistencies with the characters themselves and the relationship they have with other people in the drama. Also the friendship between Scarlet and Tami is so funny, I love it!
