Hellbound (Season 2)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Hellbound (Season 2, 2024, South Korea)

Director: Yeon Sang Ho

Writer: Yeon Sang Ho & Choi Gyu Seok (based on their own webtoon)

Mini-review:

I feel like I'm one of the few people who loved the first season of Hellbound. It used an original and terrifying concept to showcase a fascinating exploration of themes like religious fanaticism, sectarianism and media manipulation. And this second (and final?) season delivers the goods once again. Yeon Sang Ho continues to be a master director of action scenes, plus the performances he gets from this cast are simply superb. On top of that, the CGI is much better than it was in the first one; I'm glad they made an effort to improve on that. I'm sure many people will stay mad at the show for refusing to give clear answers until the very end, but I think that makes the viewer feel the same chaos as the characters. If this is really the end, I have to say I really enjoyed what this dark fantasy had to offer.

SEOUL BUSTERS

GENRES: Comedy, Action

SUMMARY: What Violent Crimes Team 2 lacks in police professionalism, they make up for in creativity, camaraderie, and determination.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Annoying kindergarteners, chance taxi encounters, terrible beauticians, theater club know-how, gourmet senses of smell, boxing prowess, marksmanship, dinosaurs, traumatic relationships, and embracing the weird.

HOT TAKE: I was NOT in the mood for a show this silly when it first started. I came to realize, however, that shows like this that don't take themselves seriously AT ALL will eventually win my heart.

The Team wraps up a different case every few episodes, but there's a little string (necessary or not) that ties them all together to keep all 20 episodes worth sticking around for. Each member might not be the best at their job overall, but they are perfect for the roles they are assigned.

Dozens of great cameos--I dare you to spot them all! Special cameo appearance by mah girl, SK's National Halmeoni, Kim Young Ok!

Watch this when you need a laugh and need something to pivot to when everything else gets just too damn rough out there.

Ballerina

Movies watched in 2023

Ballerina (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Lee Chung Hyun

Mini-review:

I'm a huge fan of Jeon Jong Seo and I enjoyed The Call very much, so I was really looking forward to Ballerina, her second collaboration with director Lee Chung Hyun. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint. It's sleek and visually stunning, and Jeon Jong Seo more than rises up to the challenge. She definitely has what it takes to be an action movie star. Tbh, the script and the story are much weaker and unoriginal than in The Call, but Lee Chung Hyun clearly knows how to direct the hell out of an action scene. Also, the movie is pretty short, so it goes straight to the point and it never gets boring. Anyway, I hope these two keep collaborating, cause so far they've been on fire together.

P.S. There's quite a lot of triggering content, and I recommend looking up some warnings before watching.
