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.

Queen of Tears

This series is not perfect, but it is still good. It has a solid storyline, and great characters. Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo have been married for 3 years and the love that had united them at the beginning seems to have disappeared in their distance and silence after a miscarriage that broke their hearts. When Baek Hyun Woo finally has the courage to present the divorce papers to Hong Hae In, she tells him she has a tumor and doesn't have much time left. His decision to stay with her gives them an unexpected chance at finding that love that had united them once. Family interactions between their very different families questions dynamics and help characters grow.

I like the fact that they didn't take the easy way out with our main antagonist. The story in itself is really good and I loved it, however, production was a bit careless with details that were too big to miss: Hae In's operation - how can a person with a brain tumor have a surgery with her hair intact. Or Hyun Woo's neck injury suddenly disappearing in a second, ext. These kind of details show some careless oversight. But we can forgive them - we laugh it off and keep watching to see what happens next.

I liked it and recommend it.

Castaway Diva. 7

Story: 6-7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: Twenty Five, Twenty One (kdrama); Thirty but Seventeen (kdrama)

Total mixed feelings about this. First half, loved. Second half, a huge disappointment dumpster fire. I hate to say the kids in the first two episodes were better then their counterparts/as the adults. Storyline was exciting at first. Loved the whole island bits. I actually wish they explored a tad more with the younger version of Mok Ha (Lee Re) when she was stuck on the island. Honestly even with 12 episodes the story just drag on. Most characters were in my opinion cliche. Didn’t really care for Park Eun Bin’s take (whoever directed her in doing so) on being stuck with emotions of a teenagers personality. It got old very quickly. It didn’t help that both main leads had zero chemistry together either. Overall the whole series started oh my gosh this is great to meh…..

DRAMA REVIEW | Queen of Tears (2024)

Queen of Tears strongest point are the performances, directing and cinematography, there's no doubt about this. Scriptwriter Park Ji Eun has a talent for teaming up with great talents, particular actors, and that's in my opinion the main reason why her drama are usually so successful. She manages to write really interesting and endearing characters, and put them in entertaining situations that grasp the attention of the viewer.

The casting director did a particular excellent job on this one because every single character was cast to perfection, every actor and actress fitting into the role as if it was written for them.

I am fascinated by the way scriptwriter Park Ji Eun has managed to mix genres in one drama, because Queen of Tears is a dark comedy, makjang, comedy, romance and melodrama all in one. This screenwriter is not stranger to making a successful and entertaining kdrama, but if you are looking for something that will dwell into the deeper reasons as to why the leads' marriage crumble, logic and cohesive editing, this story might not be for you.

Queen of Tears strongest point is the way both families come together, learning to respect and love each other but apart from that the drama is developed at a surface level. The scripts lean hard on the other genres which is perfectly fine but there were times when I was frustrated at the desiciones being made, the complete waste of time when the families are running against the clock to save one of their own AND the family's business, etc. This is when I think Queen of Tears is a lot like other Park Si Eun's kdramas: they start strong but run out of material towards the second half of the episode, almost as if she introduce a bunch of plotlines with proper solutions to a few of them.

Overall, I found Queen of Tears to be a really entertaining watch to disconnect from reality.

Ep9 My demon and the story of park marriage contract short review

I think my demon writernim and the story of park marriage contract writernim sit on the same table while writing the script.

It's like u use first I use later

Ep9 it's like here some sweets..and now some pain at the end

The sweet part in both drama is top notch especially for my demon the bed scene and the piggyback ride and the story of park is the backhug and kiss at home and field.

Nonetheless someone has to die in both drama..like u can't choose

Do hee has to die for gu won power if not he will die..but in preview guwon making bets with god that he will choose both which we will see in ep 10

Yeon woo has to leave new joseon if want tae ha to live as he will die if she stay.

So yup prepare our heart as the graph is descending ..the pain era has arrived

Daily Dose of Sunshine

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Daily Dose of Sunshine (2023, South Korea)

Directors: Lee Jae Kyu & Kim Nam Su

Writers: Lee Nam Gyu, Oh Bo Hyun & Kim Da Hee (based on the webtoon by Lee Ra Ha)

Mini-review:

When I heard this drama was coming out, I got a bit worried, since k-dramas don't have the best track record when it comes to handling this topic. Thankfully, this show's team mostly pulled it off. Sure, it falls into stereotypes from time to time, but its focus is always on empathy, acceptance and tolerance. It really tries to make the viewer understand how hard and undeservedly misunderstood mental illnesses are. For better or worse, that also means the drama doesn't shy away from showing the darkest parts of these illnesses, so please be very careful if this topic is triggering for you, cause there are a lot of hard-to-watch scenes. In terms of acting, the entire cast is great, especially the actors playing the patients, and Park Bo Young. In fact, this might arguably be her career's crowning achievement. The one thing I didn't really like were the romantic parts. I just didn't care for any of the romances, and the show would've been better off without them. Anyway, Daily Dose of Sunshine surprised me by handling a complex topic in a much more humane and hopeful way that I expected.

Kdrama script idea : Episodes 1 - 2

Episode 1

A middle-aged woman, Han Ae Kyung (Shin Ae Ra), loses her three children and her husband to a car accident. A year later, missing the sound of laughter in her house, she puts out a notice for a boarding house where she rents out the three rooms she had to be able to take care of her depression and her longing to take care of someone. Since she lives in a poor and old neighbourhood, it's not an apartment but a double-storey house, only three people respond : Song Yu Jin (Bae Yu Jin), a half black half Korean model aspirant, Meera Prasad (Nidhi Agarwal), the third daughter of long-time Indian diplomats in Korea and in her graduating year at Seoul National University, and Julie Baek (Julie Han), a Korean-American Arts student at Hong Ik University.

They move in with her, and a lot of fun chaos ensures due to the clash of not only cultures, but also generations. One day, Meera notices a mysterious male figure at night, and one night, follows him up to his apartment above Ae Kyung's. Ae Kyung says that she had rented out the place to a young woman named Min Soo Ji (Choi Soo Ji), but that woman left the house so no one lives there. After Yu Jin also sees a mysterious man enter the house above, Yu Jin and Meera make it their mission to find the man's identity.

Episode 2

One day, while Ae Kyung is outside in the market, suddenly, a woman knocks at their door, asking to be hidden for a few hours. She turns out to be Shin Ja Yeon (Ha Hee Ra), a former TV announcer and the wife of the CEO of a construction company. After her marriage, she was not seen in the public eye until she accused him of adultery, robbery, and severe domestic violence, and won the case in a landslide victory. She got to know that her husband has put a hit on her so he doesn't lose his money, and so Ja Yeon is on the run. Luckily, no one knows her face anymore except the people around her husband and her in-laws.

The girls shelter Ja Yeon in the house and try to phone Ae Kyung to inform her, but she's not picking up the phone. Ja Yeon sees one of her husband's company cars in the road and holes herself up in the bathroom, and Ja Yeon's husband, CEO Kang Seung Ho (Cheon Ho Jin), arrives at the house door just as Ae Kyung arrives. He asks if Ae Kyung has seen a woman that looks like Ja Yeon here in the street; luckily, Ae Kyung doesn't snitch even after seeing Ja Yeon's shoes in the entrance of her house. She doesn't say a word and enters in, and locks the door and orders all the windows to be closed.

Ja Yeon, who locked herself into the bathroom cannot answer to Ae Kyung's calls, and the girls bust down the door of the bathroom just o find her in the midst of a panic attack. They manage to calm her down, and Ae Kyung demands an explanation. After Ja Yeon calms down, she explains her situation, and asks to stay just a night so she can make arrangements for her escape. Ae Kyung agrees reluctantly, worring about another mouth to feed, when they turn on the news and see the news that "Shin Ja Yeon" has apparently been killed in a car accident in the Han River, and that suspicions are on Kang Seung Ho. The real Ja Yeon is very confused, but gets a call from one of her assistants that they planted this story so she can live in peace. She first berates them for not telling her, and is still worried that she might not be able to move out of the country as was her original plan. She needs to fly to either Europe or Great Britain, where her only relatives live, and she begins looking for flights, hoping to be able to escape.

Meanwhile, Yu Jin and Meera piece together more information about the mystery man : He comes home every day at 11:45 pm, and on Fridays, he has a wonky step, meaning that he comes home from drinking. Owing the complete silence, they gather that he lives alone in the house that was rented out to Min Soo Ji. Worried that something might have happened, they decide to try and find information on her.

Weak Hero Character Names

For those who don't know, the Weak Hero webtoon anglicized a bunch of the characters' first names from Korean to English. They don't do this for newly introduced characters anymore AFAIK, but all the names they anglicized initially have been kept that way.

Since I've gotten a few people asking about the names, so I decided to compile a list of their original Korean names. You can find amost of these on their character profiles on the Weak Hero fandom page, but I figured people would appreciate having a quick reference that is all in one place. Hopefully this helps people learn/connect their original names.

Remember, this is not a full character list, it's for finding the Korean names of the characters that had their names anglicized.

The format will be:

Anglicized Name -> Korean Name (common alternative romanizations will be in parenthesis)

Gray Yeon -> Yeon Sieun (Shi-eun)

Phillip Kim -> Kim Pilyoung (Pil-young)

Rowan Im -> Im Juyang (Ju-yang)

Teddy Jin -> Jin Taeoh (Tae-oh)

Daehyeon High

Dean Kwon -> Kwon Hyeokjin (Hyuk-jin)

Jake Ji -> Ji Hakho (Hak-ho | Hagho)

Timothy Park -> Park Taegi (Tae-gi)*

Ganghak High

Jared Sun -> Seon Jongwon (Sun Jong-Wan)

Toby Kim -> Kim Dosik (Do-sik)

Wolf Keum -> Keum Seongje (Sung-je)

Harper "Helmet" Ha -> Ha Huicheol (Hee-chul)

Hugo Yoon -> Yun Hoyeong (Yoon Ho-young)

Jack Kang -> Kang Jeongyeon (Jung-yun)

Jimmy Bae -> Bae Jihun (Ji-hun)

Other Recurring/Relevant Characters

Bryce Oh -> Oh Beomseok (Beom-sok)

Julia Chae -> Chae Yujin (Yoo-jin)

Kenny Ji -> Ji Gwangseok (Gwang-seok)

Lala Lee -> Lee Minji (Min-ji)

Wesley Song -> Song Baekkyu (Beak-gyu)

Queen of Tears (2024)

On the surface this seems like just an ordinary romantic drama with an interesting premise. It turned out to be a master class in acting, editing, cinematography and (even) writing. I loved these characters and was genuinely sad to see it end.

What Worked

The two leads were amazing. Kim Soo-Hyun put in his best performance so far, and Kim Ji-Won did an excellent job making you like a character that was written to be cold and unlikeable. I'd say it was her best role, but you know My Liberation Notes was still better.

The rest of the cast was great too. Park Sung-hoon was great at playing the villain and making him both sympathetic and contemptible. Kwak Dong-yeon did an excellent job at turning the biggest idiot kid brother into someone you were cheering for at the end.

This drama, more than most, also did a standout job of using editing and film work to help set the mood for the story.

What Didn't Work

This show is as close to flawless as you can get. There are things that I wish they'd done differently, but those are more about taste than quality, because the show was excellent.

The Performances

The cast was excellent across the board. I've already mentioned the two leads. I could probably go through and say something nice about each actor, but that would be way too long. There were a few actors that were new to me that especially liked watching.

Yoon Bo-mi as "Secretary Bestie" Na Chae-yeo. This actor did an excellent job of grounding the scene and making Kim Ji-won's character more human and likable. She was also very funny on her own.

Lee Mi-sook as "Worst Mother Ever" Moh Seul-hee. The show didn't do much to explain the whys of her character, but Lee Mi-sook was so interesting to watch, that I mostly didn't care. Really good performance overall.

Kim Jung-nan as "Fighter Auntie" Hong Beom-ja. I had a hard time taking this character seriously at first, but the actor did a great job of showing you how much Beom-ja cared about her family, which made me start to care about the character. Alot of fun to watch (even if they should have given her a proper loveline at the end).

Jeon Bae-soo and Hwang Young-hee as "World's Best Parents (2024)." It would be hard to make Hyun-woo's parents unlikeable, since they get to be the moral center of the show in some ways, but it was also important to make them interesting in a cast of over the top characters. The actors did a good job with that, and I really enjoyed watching them play off the rest of the cast.

TL; DR:

If you like K-dramas you've probably already seen this. That being said, I like K-dramas and I still haven't watched this writer's other big hit Crash Landing on You, so it YMMV. Bottom line: it's your precious little life, choose wisely.

Roller coaster feeling with ep8 my demon and the story of park marriage contract

Ep8 my demon yes to all happiness of hug and kiss at the ending

But the preview of ep9 makes me worry for next week due to gu won losing all his demon power???? Woah I can't stop worrying ..plus can't imagine what will happened except for pain

I know it's going to be a sweet ep coz they will start lovey dovey but guwon will lose his power and do hee will self blame herself again making gu won a human

I hope it's different from my expectation

I have to focus on the sweet part and stop worrying about guwon losing demon capibility

On ep8 the story of park marriage , it's like a future for ep9 for my demon but I just don't know how will gu won react on losing his demon power

It's like these two drama passing baton on making my heart and brain hurt at the same time

Nonetheless the kiss on the park marriage is top notch and I like the back hug , I was wishing for gu won to do back hug for ep9

Hopefully my wish came true..coz I was hoping he get up when do hee was thinking on the balcony..it's look like a great spot for a back hug

Need to let my thoughts out before it's killing me.

Again my opinion..I hope writernim will satisfy my curiosity next week and please no more pain..or maybe a moderate pain..u only at ep9..we have more ep to come

In park marriage contract ,it's 4 ep left..so u can do whatever u want..I just wish for a happy ending
