MISSION CROSS

GENRES: Action, Comedy, Police Procedural

SUMMARY: Just because the household roles are reversed doesn’t mean you can’t work as a kickass team.

THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING: Driving parking lot donuts in the community Preschool van, impeccable housekeeping, wallet theft, Olympic sharpshooting, assumed identities, hidden lives, trust, teamwork, supportive colleagues, black market bitcoin, and soft-serve ice cream.

HOT TAKE: I love how quickly and yet with such detail the writers set up the domestic life of the two main leads and their work lives. They are so well developed and instantly adored that the rest of the plot was just icing on the cake.

This was a great quick-watch and a great addition to a streaming shortlist.

Making of The Wailing

The Beginning of The Wailing

Trailer

A foreigner’s mysterious appearance in a quiet, rural village causes suspicion among the locals - suspicion which quickly turns to hysteria as the townspeople begin killing each other in brutal outbursts for seemingly no reason. As the investigating officer watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman for answers - unknowingly escalating the situation into something far more dangerous.

Pre-order The Wailing.

aww the turn has tabled <3

Revolutionary Love. 7/8

Story: 7

Acting: 9

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Office Girls (twainesse drama) ; Cunning Single Lady (kdrama) ;

The kdrama takes the classic rich elite ceo family storyline to the next level. It surrounds itself about the injustices of society's issues and Korean labour laws. Just don’t take it too seriously at times, while switching off your brain and enjoy the ride. It’s over the top and the main leads character played by Super Junior’s Siwon, dials up the ham, maybe sometimes overly too funny with the naive dumb awe shucks act being a bit too annoying in the beginning episodes. His character does get a much needed character growth in the mid to later acts. Overall it’s a nice romantic romcom with a great bromance subplot too.

"Even among other demons, he's a master of evil."

"If that's true, why did it have to be..."

" ...your daughter? What sin did that young girl ever commit? If you go fishing, do you know what you'll catch?"

"No."

"He's just fishing. Not even he knows what he'll catch. He just threw out the bait, and your daughter took it."

Kill Boksoon

Kill Boksoon    [trailer]

A single mother who is a renowned hired killer finds it difficult to achieve a balance between her personal and work life.

The official summary is much more accurate than the action heavy trailer which can be considered misleading. This is slightly more social drama than action movie, even if Boksoon's indeed a contract killer and there are a number of fight scenes. Which explains the presence of character actress Jeon Do-yeon.

But because the movie spends considerable time with her problems of raising her kid it has the effect that it makes you think about the implications of Boksoon's profession. Movies like John Wick firmly take place in movie land, which makes it considerably easier to accept the violence. But once that illusion is broken, it gets more difficult to "enjoy" the killings. The opening sequence with the samurai still feels "cool". But then, for example, the later meetings of the killer organisation were difficult for me to take seriously in light of the social conflict.

열한번째 엄마 | My 11th Mother (2007)

Jae Su leads a cruel life for an 11-year-old. His father is an abusive, gambling and jobless wreck of a guy, so the little boy has learned to survive on his own, carefully spending his food stamps and running a string of part-time jobs.

One day, his father shows up with yet another woman, who once she removes her make-up and wig turns from a bar girl into a tired and disheveled woman that eats up all the food in the house when she's not in deep hibernation.

Jae Su seems to have dealt with all sorts of women, but this one is the worst by far. But even enemies join forces when a mutual opponent threatens, and Jae Su and the woman bond together against the violent abuse of Jae Su's father. But, just when the two lonely souls begin to accept each other as kindred spirits and their deep empathy blooms into familial love, things change.
