Dizi 10’ar dakikalık kısa bölümlerden oluşuyor. 3 farklı hikaye olarak seri yapılmış. Yine bir okul ödevi tadında kısacık eğlencelik minnak diziler. Her birinde tanıdığımız, sevdiğimiz oyuncuları görmemiz mümkün.

The Universe's Star;

Woo-Joo yetenekli bir şarkıcı-söz yazarıdır ve Byul-Yi ise bir ölüm meleğidir. Hayranı olduğu çocuğun hayatını alması için gönderilince aralarındaki romantizm dizinin konusu olur. Benim yorumum üçlemenin en pasif ve silik hikayesi buydu. Hikaye anlatmak istediği duyguları anlatabilecek kadar uzun olmadığı için izleyiciye pek bir şey geçmedi. Ama çok da ciddi bakmamak lazım tabi.

Romance Full of Life;

Çok uzun süredir polis memur sınavlarına hazırlanan So In-Sung  8 kez başarısız olmuştur. Buna rağmen hiç neşesini kaybetmemeye çalışır. Kız arkadaşı Wang So-Ra  ise artık onunda ayaklarının yere bastığını görmek ister. Aynı zamanda o da kendi içinde zor zamanlar geçirirken anlık bir kararla ilişkilerini bitirir. Dünyası yıkılan In-Sung  tesadüfen gördüğü  "Hayat Dolu Deney" isimli bir ilaç deneyine katılarak para kazanacağını düşünür.  

Bu hikayenin konusu ilginçti. Tamamen mükemmel insana dönüştüren bu hap ile yapay bir popülerlik kazanan karakterimizin aslında ne istediğini keşfetmesini anlatıyordu.

Queen of Ring;

Benim seriye başlama nedenim ve en eğlendiğim hikaye ise buydu. Aileden gelen genetik bir çirkinliğe sahip kısa boylu bir kız olan Mo Nan-Hee bir gün annesinin sırrını keşfeder. Ailesinde nesillerdir ailenin kadınlarına miras kalan bir yüzük vardır.  Yüzüğü sevdiğin kişinin sana takmasını sağladığında karşındaki kişi seni görmek istediği ideal güzellikte görmesini sağlıyordur. Babası gündüz işteyken yüzüğü annesinden ödünce alan kızımız okulda sevdiği erkeğe dünyanın en güzel kızı olarak görünür. Ancak yakışıklı çocuğumuz Park Se-Gun yüzüğün büyüsü ile yıllar önce karşılaşıp beğendiği bir kızın yüzünü görmektedir. İşte o kız bizim Nan-Hee’nin arkadaşıdır ve aynı okula kaydını yaptırınca işler karışır.

Hikayeler böyleydi. Üçü de yumuşak, kısa, keyifli zaman geçirten tatlı dizilerdi. Çok uzun konuşmaya gerek olduğunu düşünmüyorum. Sıkıldığınızda açıp 10dk bakıp kapatabileceğiniz, küçük bir kaçamak olarak düşünebilirsiniz.

Thoroughly enjoyed the shamanism/shamanistic, folkloric and supernatural horror base of the show. The mysteries were quite engaging as well. Performances were obviously top-notch, and storylines wonderfully coherent and solid too.

Skipped parts of the last three episodes but due to bits and pieces here, got most of the storyline still. Ended beautifully and hopeful.

A superb 8.0-8.2.

The themes the show touched on varies and fascinatingly relevant, and I thought weaved into the folkloric and shamanistic aspects well. Human greed, wickedness, the sociopathy of the rich/powerful, will-to-live/survive, family/generational trauma, economic hardship, a sprinkle of socio-economic issues in South Korea were threaded logically and with sensitivity.

That said, the emotions about those issues could be better provoked. This was a mostly cerebral show for me, and moved me more in the mind than heart. Still excellent though.

I think one could write reams of paper on the issues brought up here though, no least the sociological aspects of the folkloric and supernatural as it pertains to human activities and emotions. Am sure there are already studies/research about those, but the show weaved them together fascinatingly.

Could not help but feel for poor Lee Hyang-Gi and her younger sister - Mok Dan - too. They were innocents in this, and hard to fault the poor girl for doing what she did after everything she had to go through. All blame were on the older Yeoms (and the shaman; even to an extent, the parents and villagers) and their greed and wickedness (which is par for the course of the privileged, especially). And of course, girls are always - commonly - the first to be sacrificed 😡🤬😭😭😭

The more sobering fact is the show and its world is considered “reality” in certain parts of the world, and not merely fiction. The use of the supernatural to further one’s ambitions, unwholesome intentions etc are common for some people. Not that I personally think they work, just that some people certainly swear by its effectiveness.

All said though, nothing wins over “The Guest” for me personally. To be fair, while both shows share certain themes, they are quite different, and I have enjoyed both, though my heart will always remain with TG. I mean, I am still shipping the characters from TG even when I have to do it alone. The shipping potential for “Revenant” is definitely there as well, and I have read a few lovely fanfic for San Yeong/Hae Sang, so there is that. San Yeong and Hong Sae would be sweet too.

Glad I finally jumped in and completed the show. Well worth the time spent on it.

Mini-rant:

Me and SBS non-Romance dramas: 왜❓(Wae/Why?!)

What is it with SBS and the non-shippable vibes of some of its shows?

I started “Revenant” with a ship (already read a few fics) and came out the other end 😅🤔🫠 This is not the first time either. Non-Romances usually have some good chemistry too, yet 😬🫥

Solid writing, memorable performances and beautiful directing with a sleek feel etc, yet the chemistry stayed firmly platonic (for me). Why???

There must be something in the “sauce” of SBS dramas which blocks my shipping-vibes antennae. Just a roundly weird phenomenon 🫠😭😔😥

Drama Review: Poong, The Joseon Psychiatrist (2022)

All this time I thought the title was “Poong, The Joseon Physician”. I was confused at first, but after watching this, I realized why it was Psychiatrist instead of Physician. Almost all of the patients they treated were concerning of mental health.

Finished this drama in just a week— it has a total of 12 episodes (and hopefully a season 2!). I rarely watch period dramas because I find it too dragging (except for Mr. Queen! I loved that drama!). Thankfully, this drama was not that kind neither it was fast or too slow. I’m glad they kept it under 12 episodes. There are talks of another season and I’m wondering how they will be able to show new cases, introduce another protagonist, and Poong finally being healed from his own trauma. I’d really love to see it!

I liked how the characters has their own backstory and how it was presented in the drama. How they lived with their traumas, how they mask it, how they cope with it, and how they are still healing from it. This drama shows how mental health is also crucial to one’s physical health and treating it is just as important as treating a disease or physical pain.

I love Kim Hyang-Gi in Along With The Gods (one of my favorites), but to be honest, she didn’t shine on this one. Hopefully, in the next season she will! Also, I felt like Kim Sang-Gyung’s character was more of a filler. Of course he’s not the main lead but it could’ve helped the drama to fast track the story if he shared the information he knew about the poisonous plant to Poong instead of keeping it. He has reasons for it but I think dragging it for too long didn’t help at all. Also, I thought he’ll fix Poong’s shaky hands? Hm. One of the characters that I also like was Royal Inspector Shin-Woo played by Jung Wong-Chan. I hated him in Shark: The Beginning (but loved his acting!), and I’m glad they made him a nice character here. Hopefully, we’ll see him in season 2! Also, I can’t believe Ip-Bun, played by Kim Su-An is all grown up now. I can’t believe she’s that kid from Train to Busan. Nice to see Ddolmani (played by Ahn Chang-Hwan) here too!

One of the episodes that I liked the most was the outbreak of a disease with an unknown cure. Turns out it came from the poisonous flower that also killed the king and a cure (also a poisonous flower) can be found deep in the mountains. It showed Poong’s dedication and determination to save his patients that he even sacrificed himself when he ingested the flower so Gye Ji-Han can test the cure. This highlights the dedication of our healthcare workers who risk their lives every day in the front lines.

This drama, although ordinary is overall nice. Not too complex, not too sappy romantic, not too boring. Hoping they push for another season!

PS: I also kept seeing Rowoon in Kim Min-Jae here.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can hardly believe that it’s been four months since the last time I posted anything. Time really does fly! I have been working on several things, but not completing any of them… Lol. I guess it’s time I get those done. But I have watched a few new series and movies that I will try to write up and post.

“Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds”:

My son and I recently came upon this movie, and it did not disappoint. It’s all about the afterlife and the trials one must go through to be able to reincarnate. Korea really develops their characters, so you come to love them, and tears were brought to my eyes multiple times. I actually cried twice watching this movie. It has a fantastic storyline, and the special effects are superb.

The sequel, “Along With the Gods: The Last 49 Days”, picked up instantaneously, where the first one left off, and this one told the stories of the grim reapers, and the plot twists are unimaginable. Keep your tissue box with you. You’re going to need it!

Both star Ha Jung-woo, Kim Hyang-Gi and Ju Ji-hoon as the three guardian grim reapers.
