I really love that when he encounters her again for real, all his ideals of her are shattered - she has no interest of fighting for her client or proving her innocence; case is hard and she's checked out. Because yeah, it's hot he carts her off over one shoulder (and holding a bag at the same time!) but I love love love that he's not doing it for any romantic reason at all, he's dragging her off to try to convince her to help defend his classmate.

I mean - it's not a romantic grab or situation.

I mean this? Straight against all his decade-long held image of her.

Any relationship they get into in the future will be based on reality of what she is and isn't and not an ideal. Because she does have a buried streak of idealism and bravery he brings back out but at the time of this scene it's been buried for a long time.

I mean. after he proves he can read thoughts, she's still all "eh, whatever, I can't use it in court so I don't care that you saw she was innocent."

Ooooof!

But ultimately, after all, this is what happens in court:

And that is why they are good for each other.

Arthdal Chronicles

The first season of this fantasy story hits close to home. It depicts the cruelty and greed of villages that have the resources, food and technology to take advantage of others. The story doesn't waist time, the first episode starts with the Arthdal leaders asking the Neanthals to become part of their power. The Arthdal are afraid of the peaceful but strong Neanthals and pretend to negotiate, knowing they are not interested. And what do they do? The Arthdal leaders trick their own people and kill the Neanthals in order to take their lands. Asa Hon learns this when she is in the middle of the attack, and in order to safe Neanthal children, she leaves with a child and Ragaz, with whom she later has children with.

Arthdal continues to annihilate weaker villages, taking them as slaves for hard labor. It is Tagon, an Itgu in hiding, that makes all this possible for Arthdal. And even though he is loved by the village as a hero, his father and other leaders are trying to find ways of killing him, including making Mihol's daughter, Teaelha, into a spy. Even though Tagon is cruel, there is an innocence to his longing to be loved and accepted by the people. His relationship with Teaelha is of a love stronger than their ties to their families and interests. And even though we don't like what he does, some times we do wish him success in his endeavors and fight against the Arthdal leaders for power.

But it is the story of the Wahan Tribe that reminds us that Tagon and all Arthdal are cruel and greedy people that have no respect for others. This is a peaceful tribe in a far away land. They are more like Neanthals in their believes but they are also prejudice against Itgus like Eunseom, whose mother leaves him there before she dies. Eunseom's only true friend is Tanya, the daughter of the priestess and scientist of the village.

It is almost impossible to reach the place but Tagon and the Arthdal leaders find the way to reach the land, it takes them 10 years to reach it and less time to destroy it and take its people as prisoners and slaves. Here we see the struggle of these people who get separated, sold into slavery and fight with each other and their enslavers in order to survive. But it also shows the Wahan people mesmerized by the innovations and way of life in this civilized village.

Tanya ties Eunseom to her by naming him her dream and he will do anything to save her, but destiny takes them into two different paths. These two characters are also very naive, their innocence and sense of justice is what makes others follow them. They both want to forge a world where everyone is equal, no prejudice against people that are different, everyone on equal standing.

Tanya's relationship with Saya is a sad one at best. She is using Saya while Saya genuinely likes her. And even though, at some point she sees him as a friend and cares about him, she still uses his affection towards her. But she is not the only one using Saya, so is Tagon who separated him from his mother when he was a child and Teaelha who became his caregiver for Tagon. Still, Saya is not stupid and he knows how to play the game.

This first half ends with the downfall of the rule of the Arthdal leaders: Daekan, White Mountain, and Hae tribes; giving way to Tagon's rule under the name of Aramun; which damages the relationship he had with Teaelha. Tanya is now the high priest while Eunseom becomes a god for the Ago tribe and starts unifying weak tribes to end fights among them and focus on fighting against their common oppressor.

The second season starts 8 years after the final events of the first one. And the fighting is no longer centered on colonialism, but on taking down a threatening force that is not letting them continue with their expansion of territories. I have heard of people wondering why the change of actors for critical characters. I wouldn't have minded seeing the same actors since they are excellent ones and we got used to them. But I didn't mind the changes, I think that these new actors, brought some darkness to the characters that had been innocent and naive in the first season. They have learned to play the game and they are using what they have learned for their gain.

Tagon and Teaelha are no longer the close couple they had been, but they still love each other and have a son that unites them. Theirs is a tragic and powerful love story, tainted by the struggle for power.

In this half, we see Tagon's fall, and the rise of the ideology that drove Tanya and Eunseom into battle. But we are left with an open ending that promises more blood and restlessness. Saya wants Arthdal for his own since he can't have Tanya's love; and Teaelha wants to take Arthdal back as she promised Tagon; while Eunseom struggles to make Arthdal the land he and Tanya had envisioned.

It is the bloody story of a civilization in this fantasy world that reflects the truth about the history of our world so full of tyranny, blood and inequality.

It is not a story with clear lines and we will switch sides as their goals become twisted, but so is the story of rulers in the past and the present. This is a fantasy story, but it also criticizes what makes a country a country - it's bloody history of greedy men.

D.P. (Season 2)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

D.P. (Season 2, 2023, South Korea)

Director: Han Jun Hee

Writers: Kim Bo Tong & Han Jun Hee

Mini-review:

The moment has finally come: Netflix's best Korean Original has made its return with a second season. And these two years of waiting have been more than worth it. It seemed impossible but, somehow, this new season is even better than the first one. It preserves all of its many strengths, and then it takes them to the next level. Both the directing and the writing are amazingly intense. I spent six whole hours on the edge of my seat, biting my nails to the quick, and the last two episodes left me breathless. I also loved the show's attempts at experimenting, like the musicality in episode 3 or the horror undertones in episode 4. As for the acting, is there anything left to say? This is a cast full of incredible actors, and all of them give career-best performances. This time round, Jung Hae In and Son Suk Ku are probably the MVPs, but everyone does a flawless job. To sum up, this second season blew away my sky-high expectations, and I really hope we get a third one, cause TV shows don't get better than this.

P.S. There's a lot of triggering content here, so please be careful with that. Those of you who watched the first season already know this, but I'm saying it just in case.

Dramas 2023

Just some of my thoughts for some of the dramas of 2023...

-KING THE LAND !!!!! The natural chemistry between the main leads is just so so soooo real that it makes it hard to believe that they're "just friends" in reality; However, at the same time it makes sense, as both Junho and Yoona have been in the entertainment industry and have known each other for a long time (2pm and SNSD go wayyyy back, IYKYK). I'm kind of surprised it took them this long to meet for a drama project, but as a fan of both 2pm and SNSD, I'm so glad to see them both working together again. There are so many funny moments in this drama and the added sound effects and acting make some of the scenes so funny. I also like the easter eggs added in the drama haha. Definitely a feel-good drama. I ship the main leads..!! They already know each other so well and they're also starting to look the same haha. -See You in My 19th Life This series is based on the webtoon, and the drama was surprisingly not bad. Ahn Bo Hyun and Shin Hye Sun both are great together, and I feel like recently Shin Hye Sun has been typecasted into these somewhat typical bold, fearless characters that are also seemingly reflective of her own personality but in this drama I was able to kind of see somewhat of a different side to her (hard to explain hahah). And Ahn Bo Hyun...he's very versatile as an actor. And finding out that he's now dating Jisoo of BP...super unexpected haha !! The drama itself is somehow comforting with all the characters meshing well together. Pleasant~~

-Celebrity Hmmmmm this one was great but something about the female lead I can't put my finger on.. While I do feel like her acting has improved over the years and I see that in some scenes of this drama as well, there were parts where it just seemed flat but I'm not sure if it's just how her character was written. The storyline itself was definitely interesting nonetheless, and I didn't have much expectations going into it, but it does touch upon the effects of social media in modern times and I liked the mystery/thriller type of vibe.

-D.P. Star-studded cast; haven't watched this yet but excited to pick up where they left off for season 1.

-The Real Has Come The cast is talented and there are strong characters in this drama and lots of twists and funny moments. It's light and funny, but there's 50 episodes so there are definitely times where it's a bit draggy but also that's typical of any family dramas. -Oasis Jang Dong Yoon!!! Hahaha I think the cast did a great job with their portrayals though I feel like Jang Dong Yoon just has such a baby-face and looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly but he looked so cool playing this role as Lee Doo Hak. I liked the old-fashioned style of this drama as it took place in the 80s-90s Korea, so it was really refreshing to see the type of fashion, dialects and overall atmosphere during that time through this drama, and think about how much has changed. There were parts of the drama that felt a little repetitive, but I think overall the cast made up for it. -Apple of My Eye (금이야, 옥이야) Typical family drama, a little predictable but expected haha.

10 Park Bo Young K-Dramas and K-Movies to Watch Because It’s Her Birthday

The clock marks 12:00 am KST, so now it’s time we celebrate the birthday of the one and only, Park Bo Young! From her infectious smile to her powerhouse performances, Bo Young has captured hearts and imaginations worldwide. So, let’s raise a toast (or a glass of banana milk!) to this incredible actress on her special day.

To celebrate the queen’s birthday to the fullest, why don’t we watch 10 K-Dramas and K-Movies she has gifted us? 

So, without any further delay, let’s get into the list!

5 K-Dramas of Park Bo Young

1. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

One moment, Bong Soon is tripping over her own feet, a blur of wide eyes and flailing limbs. The next, she’s effortlessly sending grown men flying with a flick of her wrist. Park Bo Young navigates this hilarious contrast with masterful timing, her every pratfall and superhero landing landing with perfect humor. But beneath the laughs lies a vulnerability. We see Bong Soon grapple with the burden of her power, the uncertainty of her future, and the strained relationship with her mother. Park Bo Young portrays these moments with raw emotion, drawing us into Bong Soon’s inner turmoil and making her struggles all the more relatable.

The show’s success hinges on the crackling chemistry between Bong Soon and Ahn Min Hyuk (played by Park Hyun Shik), the CEO she becomes bodyguard for. Park Bo Young’s interactions with her co-star are pure magic, a delightful mix of playful banter and unspoken longing. Their relationship evolves organically, from hesitant trust to unwavering support, and Park Bo Young guides us through every step with a charming sincerity.

Finally, Park Bo Young throws herself into the physical demands of the role. She executes impressive stunts, mastering Bong Soon’s signature throws and takedowns with a believability that elevates the action sequences. Watching her navigate this world of superhuman feats is simply thrilling.

Park Bo Young’s portrayal of Do Bong Soon is a true tour de force. She makes her a character we laugh with, cry with, and ultimately cheer for. With her impeccable comedic timing, emotional depth, and captivating screen presence, Park Bo Young cements her status as one of the most talented actresses of her generation. “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” is a testament to her brilliance, a must-watch for anyone looking for a laugh, a tear, and a whole lot of heart.

2. Doom at Your service

Park Bo Young dives headfirst into the whirlwind of emotions that is Tak Dong Kyung in “Doom At Your Service.” Her performance is a poignant tapestry woven with threads of quiet despair, desperate hope, and unexpected joy.

But Tak is not one to simply surrender. Park Bo Young masterfully shifts gears as Tak embraces a defiant spirit. Her drunken wish for doom, delivered with a bitter laugh and tear-streaked cheeks, marks a turning point. She throws herself into living, savoring every stolen moment with a newfound appreciation. We see this in the playful glint in her eyes as she embarks on spontaneous adventures, the bittersweet smile as she cherishes fleeting moments with loved ones.

As Myul Mang (played by Seo In Guk), the embodiment of doom, enters Tak’s life, Park Bo Young navigates the complex dance of their relationship with nuanced brilliance. Their interactions are charged with a mix of fear and fascination, vulnerability and defiance. Park Bo Young’s delicate touches, hesitant smiles, and bursts of playful rebellion beautifully counterpoint Myul Mang’s stoic presence. She makes their growing attachment palpable, the unspoken fear of loss adding a poignant layer to their moments of joy.

Park Bo Young’s performance in “Doom At Your Service” is a masterful portrayal of a woman facing the abyss with both despair and defiance. She makes Tak a character we empathize with, cheer for, and ultimately mourn. Her ability to navigate the emotional spectrum of hope and despair within 200 words is a testament to her talent and leaves a lasting impact on the viewers.

This film, bruising yet respectful in its quiet honesty, deals with homophobic and ageism with sensitivity and insights. 

7.8/10

[dangermousie]

He really does convey sunshine in adoration. (Because it's not even love, he doesn't know her well enough to be in love, but he's got all that hero-worshipping adoration from ten years ago.)

Like he catches her when she almost falls and blisses out. Heeee.

She of course has no idea who he is.

HELLO William afton fans

[rosethorn108]

We all know he was waiting for this ever since he heard "our house"

He loved saying "us"

the very natural touching when saying "we"

the amount of pettiness even taking his girls hand to point at him when saying "you"

"Our" house bothered him to no end

2nd Lead might have said the joining term first - "Our" But our boy buried him with "Us", "We" and "You"

Oh My Ghost

Synopsis:

Is this the best way to get to the afterlife? Na Bong Sun (Park Bo Young) is a painfully shy and timid woman who works as an assistant chef at Sun Restaurant. She has a secret crush on the star chef Kang Sun Woo (Jo Jung Suk) but doesn’t have the courage to act on it. But Bong Sun has the ability to see ghosts, in part due to her shaman grandmother. Shin Soon Ae (Kim Seul Gi) is a young woman who died without ever having experienced romance in her short life. She is determined to seduce as many men as possible and lose her virginity so that she can go happily into the afterlife. When Soon Ae meets Bong Sun, she finds the perfect vessel to carry out her mission. Sun Woo is nursing a broken heart but suddenly begins to notice the bolder, more confident Bong Sun. Can Soon Ae and Bong Sun both get what they want in the end?

The Best Things About This Drama:

The chemistry between Park Bo Young and Jo Jung Suk

Stalker

I'll give it a 2/5. This felt like it was supposed to be a 12 episode series, and then they asked for them to stretch it into 16. The plot got lost a lot and things dragged considerably at times. However, the cast did an incredible job with the script they were given. No notes to them - they were delightful.

KISS SIXTH SENSE // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb: 7 Benim Puanım: 7

Drama: Kiss Sixth Sense

Hangul: 키스 식스 센스

Director: Nam Ki-Hoon

Writer: Gatnyeo (web novel), Jeon Yoo-Ri

Date: 2022

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Yoon Kye-Sang , Seo Ji-Hye, Kim Ji-Suk, Hwang Bo-Ra, Lee Joo-Yeon, Tae In-Ho

12 bölümlük mini seri olan Kiss sixth Sense çerezlik bir diziydi. Herhangi bir temele dayanmayan, en başından mantık aranmaması gereken fantastik temellere oturtulmuş bir hikaye örgüsü vardı. Hong Ye-Sool (Seo Ji-Hye) isimli hanım kızımız reklam sektöründe bir firmada proje/hesap yöneticisi olarak ekip-1 in yönetiyordu. Farklı ekiplerden oluşan firmada ekip müdürü ve ekip yöneticisi gibi bir hiyerarşi var. Ye-Sool’un müdürü Cha Min-Hu (Yoon Kye-Sang ) alanında ismini duyurmuş, çok katı ve kuralcı biridir. Yine farklı bir iş kolu olduğu için ondan bahsederek başladım.

Dizinin değişik bir sektör içinde geçmesini sevdim. Arka planda bir reklam filminin çekim aşamalarını izlediğimizi söyleyebilirim. Yönetmen seçiminden, kıyafetlere, kullanılacak mekanlardan oyuncusuna kadar sorumlu olan bir iş kolu ve yolculuk izledik. Tabi ki, dizinin konusu bu değildi. Bu kısım sadece arka planda karakterlerin oyun alanıydı. Dizi; Hong Ye-Sool ve Cha Min-Hu arasında geçiyor. Fantastik tarafına gelecek olursak, Ye-Sool küçüklüğünden beri nedenini bilmediği bir şekilde dudağı başka insana değdiği zaman geleceği görüyor. Bu sadece öpüşmek anlamında da değil, yanlışlıkla saçını savuran birinin saç teli ya da konuşmasını engellemek için ağzını kapatan bir el olabilir. Garip bir şekilde bu gelecekleri kabul etmiş, engellemek ya da değiştirmek için hiçbir şey yapmadan kabullenerek yaşıyor.

Cha Min-Hu ise yine küçükken geçirdiği bir kaza sonucunda asla neden olduğunu bilmediğimiz bir şekilde insan üstü duyulara sahip olmuş. 1 km içindeki her şeyi duyabiliyor, çok uzağı görebiliyor. Biriyle öpüştüğünde ise ateşi çıkıyor ve kulakları çok daha hassaslaşıyor. Ateşlenip yataklara düşüyor. Yani neden sonuç ilişkisi olmadan başlayan bir hikaye. Durum böyleyken Ye-Sool sette çalışırlarken ayağı takılıp patronunun üzerine düşünce dudak dudağa yapışıveriyorlar.

Cha Min-Hu olay sonrasında hastalanacağını bildiği için hemen oradan kaçıp kendini kapatıyor. Ye-Sool ise gördüğü gelecek karşısında şoka giriyor. Çünkü geleceklerinde kendisinden nefret ettiği patronu ile yattıklarını görüyor. Fikrimi sorarsanız çıkış noktası eğlenceliydi. Daha çok geleceği görme sahnesi ve olaylar izlemek isterdim. Ama ne yazık ki bu yatma yatmama mevzusuna o kadar takıldılar ki, sadece bunun etrafında döndü. Bir noktada “hiçbir şey göründüğü gibi değildir, peşin hükümlü olmayın” şeklinde klasik bir mesaj içerse de ben kendi adıma bu mesajı da çok sevdim.

Açıkçası dizide parlayan bir oyuncu yoktu. Başrol erkek oyuncu Yoon Kye-Sang, Chocolate dizisinde de beni çok etkilememişti. Bu dizide de kendisinin başrol için çok uygun olmadığını düşündüm. Çift olarak çok rahatsız emiyordu ama genel olarak hiçbir oyuncu dizide başrol gibi değildi.

Her ne kadar oyunculuklar çok doğal olsa da klişeleri eklemeyi de unutmamışlar. Kore dizilerinin “küçükken tanıştık” klişesi yine gözümüze sokuldu. Dizinin kimyası ile ilgili seyirciyi tatmin eden bir açıklama yapılmıyor, beklemeyin. Fantastik başlıyor fantastik bitiyor. Neden, nasıl diye sorulmaması gerekiyor. Ve finale doğru… asla nedenini anlamadığım ve diziye asla uymayan bir aksiyon sokuldu. 8.bölümden sonra 4 bölüm boyunca anlamsız bir gerilim yaşadık. Neden diye bağıra bağıra izledim. 12 bölümlük mini seri 8 bölümlük gerçekten mini bir dizi olabilirdi. Bütün konular bitince bir anda oyuncular kaçmaya kovalamaya başladı. Kan, ihtiras, gizem… Ne diyeyim bilemiyorum. Aşırı gereksizdi. Karakter gelişimi de son derece kötüydü bu arada. Dizinin ilk bölümlerindeki o otoriter, katı patron bir anda değişti. Neden yoktu. Sebep sonuç yoktu.

Özetle; başlarda bir iki bölüm sonrasında “dizi çok ilginç, sevdim “diye düşünürken; sonlara doğru, “dizi çok zorlama olmuş” fikrine geçiş yaptım. Evet izlenebilir. Beklentiyi düşürüp zaman geçirmek için izleyebilirsiniz. Dayanılmaz bir dizi değildi.
