The Wig (2005) directed by Won Shin-yeon

genre: horror age rating: 15+ duration: 1h 46m country: South Korea language : Korean screenplay : Cho Sung-won, Do Hyun-jung, Won Shin-yeon

major stars: Chae Min-seo, Yoo Sun, Lee Jung-sung

plot summary: Two sisters are haunted by a strange wig with dark secrets. Soo-Hyun (Chae Min-Seo), a young woman battling cancer, receives the wig as a gift from her mute sister Ji-Hyun (Yoo Sun). But as Soo-Hyun’s health mysteriously improves, eerie happenings suggest the wig is more than just a beauty accessory.

The Wig had the potential to be a solid horror flick, but it just doesn’t quite hit the mark. the story centers around two sisters: Soo-Hyun, who’s battling cancer and starts wearing this cursed wig, and Ji-Hyun, her older sister who’s lost her voice after a car accident. while the emotional depth is there, the horror elements don’t really land, and the pacing makes it hard to take the whole "evil wig" concept seriously. it’s a directorial debut by Won Shin-Yeon, and I’ve got to say, it was a risky one.

the plot gets pretty tangled (pun intended), especially when they start mixing in flashbacks with the present-day story. the story doesn’t flow smoothly enough to keep me engaged. on the scare factor, it’s pretty tame. no terrifying ghosts, just a couple of creepy moments — like that eerie scene on the train where Ji-Hyun’s reflection starts staring back at her, or the one where she gruesomely scratches her scalp until medicine capsules start spilling out of her scalp. the visuals have their moments, but overall, the movie lacks the tension and fear that a good horror should have. I found myself checking the clock more than gripping my seat.

Thanks for another great year everybody! It’s pretty interesting to see how different it is compared to my top posts of 2022. Joan Pradells, the most popular post from last year, didn’t even make the list this year.

REASONS TO LOVE THE GLORY PART 2

WE HAVE A perfect anti-heroine. She doesn't pull random crap from any direction and have a new motive every time she loses a loved one. (yeah, she doesn't wait for someone to die to get her shit together either)

She isn't trying to save the world, she is just trying to move on and yet she manages to save more people than what most leads can.

She doesn't half ass shit, she took 20 years to fully fund her plan, get an education and fucking get them all.

She is actually a good person, nobody on this drama as a character has to vouch for that or explicitly say how charming she is. SHE JUST godamn gives her biggest bully time to surrender and go to police herself so she wouldn't have to take revenge and her family wouldn't be suffering.

She is self aware, revenge isn't the best way to do it so she plans to off herself but the people around her know she don't deserve it. There is no scene in the drama where Dongeun's revenge is glorified to a point it seems its okay for antiheros to do fucked up shit with some cool instrumental playing in the bg(scene where MDE calls JJ to get the pervert straight in line, she accepts it is crappy since yesol and HDY had to sort of see that)

She gives people what they deserve, and she finds happiness(she shouldn't have to earn it but she does)

SHE isn't perfect but she does try to have sympathy for people who have been by her side and looks out for them.(reasonable, no love at first sight nonsense, all the people she helped have proved their worth around her.)

She isn't getting justice for the whole world just the ones who have been through the same shit as her and logically tries to make a coherent plan do it all.

DID I say she don't have any supernatural strengths like she breaks down, has ptsd and requires support from YJ's character.

She doesn't wear cool suits and ramps around everywhere to deliver retribution but she kinda plays people like guitar strings and have them kill eo(thanks to her years of stalking skills)

Chemistry between two characters in this drama isn't bait for you to watch this drama. The drama itself is the bait, SHK is fine as hell. As much as I love a romance, this one is just fine as it is.(LDH and SHK are a cute duo, not everything needs to be angsty. Some things are nice when two nice people are together and in love. I'll die on this hill.)

I am voicing my concern for people who don't find LDH and SHK's chemistry palpable. SHK and Jung Sungil look good but ldh and shk flow better. Given the fact, this show has a character who went through a lot, why would she ever choose the bully's ex over a ray of sunshine?

There is no miracle bird that saves the day so the writing gets all the credit lol.

SIDE NOTE: This might be Song Hye Kyo's best drama but also the the best drama out there. some of y'all should not forget this girl has been on the top for over 20 years for a reason. I'd love to see well written stories written around main characters such as this but there aren't many. Multilayered female characters who are not in romance dramas >>

[fragilefangirl]

Honestly, I would pay for an entire season of just Dooshik and Bongseok figuring their dynamic out. They are used to each other as a concept. Bongseok only remembers being raised by one parent. Dooshik only knows how to raise a 3 year old. And then there's Mihyun in the middle of it all, the glue of the family who's trying so hard to make things back to normal, fully knowing that normalcy flew out the window the minute Dooshik handed her that gun 15 years ago. the angst, the yearning, the love, the joy, the silly goofiness ... man, I would watch it.

The Frog

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The Frog (2024, South Korea)

Director: Mo Wan Il

Writer: Son Ho Young

Mini-review:

Wow, I didn't think I would enjoy The Frog so much. I guess I was in the mood for a dark, propulsive thriller. I've seen some people say it's 'slow', but like... where? This kept me glued to the screen from the very first episode, and it got more and more intense throughout the next ones. It even ventures into psychological horror territory from time to time, which made it even more fun to me. The writing isn't perfect (some of the characters aren't as well developed as they should), but the directing and the acting more than make up for it. Go Min Si turns in a particularly strong performance, and it's clear she gave it her all. I'm not gonna say this is the best thriller k-drama I've seen, but it was definitely enjoyable as hell.
