do you ever just sit in silence and suddenly you’re reminded of one of the most romantic scenes in kdrama history and ur heart starts aching?

that’s me today with the guest underwater exorcism scene, people who get it just get it

[beyondevilslut]

ok ok SO, i started a drama last week anddd i finished it just yesterday and OH MY GOD. WHY IS THIS GEM SO UNDERRATED??? WHY IS THE FANDOM SO TINY?? WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THEM?? WHY IS THERE NO HYPE?? AND WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE FICS ABOUT THEM?? LIKE I'M NOT EVEN JOKING THIS WAS SO GOOD I WAS TWEAKING. i simply need ya'll to tune in and watch this and just GET my obsession. i honestly need someone to watch this to talk about it.

oh and if you're wondering, i'm talking about the guest.

the sea exorcism lives rent free in my head, i'm never forgetting them.

this kind of had BE vibes ngl.

the arrest scene is equal to the exorcism scene.

i actually didn't find this as much scary as people made it to be tho? it was mostly just a bit disturbing but unhinged at best. the chemistry between choi yoon and yoon hwa pyung is gonna be the death of me cuz the tension was there throughout the entire show. i need to post some stuff about them in a while or else i might explode.

It`s a precious life that your mother saved. You protect him until the end.

Detective Goh, staring at the trio: You all are like sliding glass doors- unhinged.

Choi Yoon and Gil Young saying they will keep going after Park Il do because they don't have a family to protect while Hwa Pyung is saying he gave up to protect the two of them.. I can't take them anymore

WELCOME TO SAMDAL-RI

GENRES: Drama, Romance

SUMMARY: When life gets too tough, its important to have a place you can go where people believe in you for who you always were.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Convenience store hideouts, corporate abuse, haenyeos, amusement park failures, dog mascots, weather forecasting, old flames, flashy sports cars, loss and forgiveness, crooners, drunken kisses, and dolphins.

HOT TAKE: I'm always hesitant to watch these small town slice-of-life dramas since I know they're going to be slow and drawn out, but you know what? I've never regretted sitting through one yet. There's something just very soulfully soothing about casual strolls, nosy-yet-supportive neighbors, and honest dialogue and communication, and this show is no exception.

Nevermind best kdrama kissers: I want a list of best kdrama huggers, starting with the King, Ji Chang Wook.

Honestly the only constant theme in the guest is a weird demon is obsessed with a taxi driver that barely has any income coming in cuz he's busy trying to catch this demon and this demon wants him SO BAD that he kills off half his family and tries to kill his detective bestie and cute little dramatic priest bf cuz he's a little bitch and we have these self sacrificing gays willing to die for eo and the detective bestie being pissed and done with them.

Oh and they also go on side quests exorcisms..yah good times

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: Honorable Mentions - Broker (dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda)

If you've seen Hirokazu Kore-eda's 2018 film Shoplifters, the themes of found family and unconventional relationships explored in Broker won't be anything new. What Broker does boast, however, is a story that, in its own way separate from Shoplifters, is profoundly beautiful. The characters and overarching trajectory of the plot in Broker is slightly more straightforward in its positive message and uplifting spirit than Shoplifters was, and, of course, it's yet another great acting showcase for Korean powerhouse Song Kang-ho. It's also an incredible acting showcase for K-pop star Lee Ji-eun, who is probably better known by her stage name IU. I hope Broker is a launchpad to seeing her in more stuff, because she is wildly impressive in this.

Currently available to rent/purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and on DVD & Blu-ray through Decal Releasing.
