Top 10 kdrama friendships that had me bawling

#10 - alchemy of souls : mu deok/bo yeon + the boys

the only reason this doesnt get a higher rating is because they just didnt have enough scenes together. it was always pretty secondhanded, like the boys helping her with her servant exam in s1, or scenes between seo yul and mu deok/bo yeon. however, their friendship was amazing, and just adore this show in itself.

#9 - doom at your service : tak dong kyung, na ji na and cha joo ik

okay, they weren't a trio, necessarily, but they had such a great friendship through indirect interaction. joo ik and dong kyung had such a wholesome excited little sister and passive older brother relationship. and dont even get me started on the cuteness that was the friendship between na ji na and tak dong kyung.

#8 - strong girl do bong soon : do bong soon and gyeong shim

i wrote about this in my review of strong girl dbs as well, and the friendship between gyeong shim and dbs was so cool because both women were willing to go to such lengths for each other. one of the lesser-highlighted friendships of kdramas.

#7 - crash course in romance : nam haeng son and kim young joo

it takes a lot to sacrifice your national sports for your friend, and young joo made that sacrifice like a pro. their friendship was so cute, a bit annoying at times, but cute nonetheless. they were there for each through the goods and the bads, and that's all we really ask for.

#6 - lovestruck in the city : lee eun oh, suh rin i and kang geon

why! are! they! not! talked! about! ultimate peak best friendship, no romantic subplots to this gang, absolute delights. everyone should give lovestruck in the city a try.

#5 - twenty five twenty one : the gang

how could i say friendship and not have these people. this gang singlehandedly and platonically had enemies to besties, childhood besties, sunbae besties and just everything. right in the feels.

#4 - weightlifting fairy kim bok joo : the trio + the boys

the 'swag' trio. every time they did the swag thing it made me cringe so bad but they were very cute. the rooftop scene was legit so cute and the addition of the boys was even better. nothing beats these weightlifting girls and we stan.

#3 - extraordinary attorney woo : woo young woo and choi su yeon

this was sosososososo cute. the way su yeon was literally always there for young woo. she couldve easily been a villain, young woo took the guy she had a crush on, was higher in grades and well known. had an influential background. such telltale signs of bad women in kdramas. BUT this amazing person really was so good with young woo and totally spring sunshine su yeon.

#2 - the fabulous - the gang

everyone seems to hate the fabulous. genuinely, come at me. i dont give a shit about cinematic art or marketing strategies or whatever, this is my opinion gonna stick to it. i ADORED the fabulous. their gang was so amazing, the definition of supportive, cute and somehow maintaining that joke around stuff. they had their little pairs in the middle as well, but that didnt take away the overall love. go watch it.

#1 - hospital playlist - the band

im a recent to hosplay bandwagon, but. i fell in love. finished the (almost) entire show in nearly a week, an achievement considering it's my finals rn. we've got the piggies, buddha who is catholic, the guy who knows everybody and his dad. it was the little things with them for me, really. when they called jeong won andrea like that was so cute. when jun wan called seok hyeong ik jun's dad it made me laugh so much. and the fact that they're really not that close when u think about it but they still are? like that is adult friendships and we love.

3s symbolism in destined with you

let's break down the symbolism of the number 3 in destined with you:

shin-yu's love confessions:

first occasion (episode 6): "it's love."

second occasion (episode 6): "apparently, i love her. i love hong-jo."

third occasion (episode 9): "i love you."

past lives concept:

the concept of past lives introduces the idea of three phases (mentioned in episode 9):

birth

life

re-birth

the symbolism of soulmates:

the number 3 is connected to the concept of soulmates.

the storyline involves a love triangle (3) / romantic options:

hong-jo / shin-yu / jae-gyeong

shin-yu / hong-jo / na-yeon

na-yeon / shin-yu / hyun-seo (man na-yeon has an affair with)

hong-jo / shin-yu / joong-beam ((creepy guy))

additional 3s seen in connection with characters:

shin-yu / se-heon (father) / shin-yu's older relative who he pours a drink (episode 1)

hong-jo / sae-byeol (coworker) / su-jeong (other coworker)

shin-yu / hong-jo / shrine + haunted house

shin-yu / eun-wol (shaman) / hong-jo

yoon-joo (shin-yu's mother) / se-heon(father) / kim wook (shin-yu's law firm friend)

shin-yu / mayor (na-yeon's father) / hyun-sea

na-yeon / shin-yu / gi-dong

my ending thoughts for now:

the presence of the number 3 i think is a powerful foreshadowing element, hinting ultimately, at the union of hong-jo and shin-yu as their destiny unfolds.

Top 5 Sci-Fi Movies on Netflix

5. Predestination (2014)

Genre: Science Fiction, Thriller

Actor: Alicia Pavlis, Annabelle Norman, Arielle O’Neill, Ben Prendergast, Carolyn Shakespeare-Allen, Cate Wolfe, Christopher Bunworth, Christopher Kirby, Christopher Sommers, Christopher Stollery, Dennis Coard, Dick York, Elise Jansen, Eliza D’Souza, Eliza Matengu, Ethan Hawke, Felicity Steel, Finegan Sampson, Freya Stafford, Giordano Gangl, Grant Piro, Hayley Butcher, Jim Knobeloch, Katie Avram, Kristie Jandric, Kuni Hashimoto, Lucinda Armstrong Hall, Madeleine West, Maja Sarosiek, Marky Lee Campbell, Milla Simmonds, Monique Heath, Noah Taylor, Noel Herriman, Olivia Sprague, Paul Moder, Raj Sidhu, Rob Jenkins, Sara El-Yafi, Sarah Snook, Sophie Cusworth, Tony Nikolakopoulos, Tyler Coppin, Vanessa Crouch

Director: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig, The Spierig Brothers

Rating: R

One of the most original time-travel thrillers since 12 Monkeys. A brilliant subversion of the Time Paradox trope, with enough plot twists to keep you entertained until well after the movie is finished. Predestination is an amazing movie with great performances from Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook. It’s a movie that will feel like Inception, when it comes to messing with your mind and barely anyone has heard of it. It is highly underrated and unknown, sadly.

4. Train to Busan (2016)

Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Science Fiction, Thriller

Actor: Ahn So-hee, An So-hee, Baek Seung-hwan, Cha Chung-hwa, Chang-hwan Kim, Choi Gwi-hwa, Choi Woo-shik, Choi Woo-sung, Dong-seok Ma, Eui-sung Kim, Gong Yoo, Han Ji-eun, Han Sung-soo, Jang Hyuk-jin, Jeong Seok-yong, Jung Seok-yong, Jung Young-ki, Jung Yu-mi, Kim Chang-hwan, Kim Eui-sung, Kim Jae-rok, Kim Joo-heon, Kim Ju-hun, Kim Keum-soon, Kim Soo-ahn, Kim Soo-an, Kim Su-an, Kim Won-Jin, Lee Joo-sil, Lee Joong-ok, Ma Dong-seok, Park Myung-shin, Sang-ho Yeon, Seok-yong Jeong, Shim Eun-kyung, Sohee, Soo-an Kim, Soo-jung Ye, Terri Doty, Woo Do-im, Woo-sik Choi, Ye Soo-jung, Yeon Sang-ho, Yoo Gong, Yu-mi Jeong, Yu-mi Jung

Director: Sang-ho Yeon, Yeon Sang-ho

A zombie virus breaks out and catches up with a father as he is taking his daughter from Seoul to Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city. Watch them trying to survive to reach their destination, a purported safe zone.

The acting is spot-on; the set pieces are particularly well choreographed. You’ll care about the characters. You’ll feel for the father as he struggles to keep his humanity in the bleakest of scenarios.

It’s a refreshingly thrilling disaster movie, a perfect specimen of the genre.

3. Serenity (2005)

Genre: Action, Adventure, Science Fiction, Thriller

Actor: Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Carrie ‘CeCe’ Cline, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Colin Patrick Lynch, David Krumholtz, Demetra Raven, Dennis Keiffer, Elaine Mani Lee, Erik Weiner, Gina Torres, Glenn Howerton, Hunter Ansley Wryn, Jessica Huang, Jewel Staite, Linda Wang, Logan O’Brien, Marcus Young, Mark Winn, Marley McClean, Matt McColm, Michael Hitchcock, Morena Baccarin, Nathan Fillion, Nectar Rose, Neil Patrick Harris, Peter James Smith, Rafael Feldman, Rick Williamson, Ron Glass, Ryan Tasz, Sarah Paulson, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Tamara Taylor, Terrell Tilford, Terrence Hardy Jr., Tristan Jarred, Weston Nathanson, Yan Feldman

Director: Joss Whedon

Rating: PG-13

Serenity is a futuristic sci-fi film that serves as a feature-length continuation of the story-line from the TV program Firefly (2002–2003). The story revolves around the captain (Nathan Fillion) and crew of the titular space vessel that operate as space outlaws, running cargo and smuggling missions throughout the galaxy. They take on a mysterious young psychic girl and her brother, the girl carrying secrets detrimental to the intergalactic government, and soon find themselves being hunted by a nefarious assassin (Chiwetel Ejiofor). The first feature-length film from Joss Whedon (The Avengers), Serenity is a lively and enjoyable adventure, replete with large-scale action sequences, strong characterizations and just the right touch of wry humor. An enjoyable viewing experience that stands alone without demanding that you have familiarity with the original program beforehand.

2. Sorry to Bother You (2018)

Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Science Fiction

Actor: Armie Hammer, Danny Glover, David Cross, Ed Moy, Forest Whitaker, James D. Weston II, Jermaine Fowler, John Ozuna, Kate Berlant, Lakeith Stanfield, Lily James, Marcella Bragio, Michael X. Sommers, Molly Brady, Omari Hardwick, Patton Oswalt, Robert Longstreet, Rosario Dawson, Steven Yeun, Teresa Navarro, Terry Crews, Tessa Thompson, Tom Woodruff Jr., Tony Toste, W. Kamau Bell

Director: Boots Riley

In the year of the Netflix TV Show Maniac, another absurdist title stole critics’ hearts. Sorry to Bother You is a movie set in an alternate reality, where capitalism and greed are accentuated. Lakeith Stanfield (Atlanta) is a guy called Cassius who struggles to pay his bills. However, when at a tele-marketing job an old-timer tells him to use a “white voice”, he starts moving up the ranks of his bizarre society. A really smart movie that will be mostly enjoyed by those who watch it for its entertaining value, and not so much for its commentary. It is like a Black Mirror episode stretched into a movie.

1. Ex Machina (2015)

Genre: Drama, Science Fiction

Actor: Alex Garland, Alicia Vikander, Chelsea Li, Claire Selby, Corey Johnson, Domhnall Gleeson, Elina Alminas, Gana Bayarsaikhan, Oscar Isaac, Sonoya Mizuno, Symara A. Templeman, Symara Templeman, Tiffany Pisani

Director: Alex Garland

Rating: R

Ex Machina is the directorial debut of Alex Garland, the writer of 28 Days Later (and 28 Weeks Later). It tells the story of Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson from About Time), an IT developer who is invited by a billionaire CEO to participate in a groundbreaking experiment — administering a Turing test to a humanoid robot called Ava (Alicia Vikander). Meeting the robot with feelings of superiority at first, questions of trust and ethics soon collide with the protagonist’s personal views. While this dazzling film does not rely on them, the visual effects and the overall look-feel of Ex Machina are absolutely stunning and were rightly picked for an Academy Award. They make Ex Machina feel just as casually futuristic as the equally stylish Her and, like Joaquin Phoenix, Gleeson aka Caleb must confront the feelings he develops towards a machine, despite his full awareness that ‘she’ is just that. This is possibly as close to Kubrick as anyone got in the 21st century. Ex Machina is clever, thrilling, and packed with engaging ideas.

Song Hye Kyo se quita los guantes para vengarse de Lim Ji Yeon con Lee Do Hyun en teaser y pósters de “The Glory Part 2”.

Lanzado por primera vez en diciembre pasado, “The Glory” es el proyecto más reciente de la exitosa escritora Kim Eun Sook que cuenta la historia de una ex-víctima de una brutal violencia escolar que jura vengarse de sus acosadores después de convertirse en la maestra de primaria del hijo de su acosador. Song Hye Kyo es la vengativa protagonista Moon Dong Eun, mientras que Lee Do Hyun interpreta al complicado protagonista masculino Joo Yeo Jeong.

Los pósters recientemente publicados para la parte 2 presentan a Moon Dong Eun con cada uno de los ocho personajes que están profundamente entrelazados con ella. Entre los personajes en solidaridad con Moon Dong Eun están Joo Yeo Jeong, Kang Hyeon Nam(Yeom Hye Ran) y Ha Do Yeong (Jung Sung Il). En cada uno de los tres carteles, Moon Dong Eun se para en el lado derecho y los ve con una mirada cálida o una sonrisa amable.

Los textos en la parte superior central dicen: “Ella es mi salvación”, “Feliz comencé a soñar” y “No me gusta decir que no sé algo, pero no sé todavía”, parecen describir los pensamientos de Joo Yeo Jeong, Kang Hyun Nam y Ha Do Young, respectivamente, sobre Moon Dong Eun.

Por otro lado, la actitud y la mirada de Moon Dong Eun hacia el grupo de perpetradores que consiste en Park Yeon Jin (Lim Ji Yeon), Jeon Jae Joon (Park Sung Hoon), Lee Sa Ra (Kim Hieora), Choi Hye Jeong (Cha Joo Young) y Son Myeong Oh (Kim Geon Woo) son completamente diferentes. Moon Dong Eun los mira desde arriba mientras pone sus manos en diferentes partes del cuerpo de cada personaje.

Los textos se alinearon en el centro de los pósters y dicen: “Tu alma, que se rió de alegría a lo largo de todo”, “Esos ojos lascivos”, “La mano que se burló y rompió a los demás”, “Los labios que se rieron de la desgracia de los demás” y “Los pies que estaban ansiosos por infligir dolor a los demás”, parecen describir los sentimientos de resentimiento, ira y venganza de Moon Dong Eun hacia los perpetradores que hicieron su vida miserable y la hicieron pasar toda su vida intrigando venganza.

El teaser, que se lanzó junto con los carteles, comienza con Park Yeon Jin diciendo sin el más mínimo sentimiento de culpa: “No hay nada que haya hecho mal, Dong Eun”. Su actitud hace que Dong Eun se enoje aún más y Dong Eun presagia su cruel venganza que acaba de comenzar al decir: “Bienvenido, Yeon Jin”, después de que Joo Yeo Jeong comenta escalofriantemente: “Te mostraré el infierno estoy viviendo”

just almost a week had gone by but i am missing Chiyeol and Haengseon so much

my final finale thoughts after reflecting over the whole series for a week.

i finally realised what i was frustrated with after mulling over all the different arcs over and over.

reading some of the reviews on this tag, i feel like the most common complaint was that the murder plot wasn't necessary in which i disagree with after simulating what the whole story would have been like if mr. ji wasn't part of the whole plot. or mr. ji didn't do the things he's done.

i came to the conclusion that the drama would have been good but wouldn't get the same sensation that it is now if not for the murder plot.

read below if interested.

one of my previous posts was me wondering if this whole story started with the murder plot-- meaning, did the writer start developing this drama revolving around mr. ji's character? i've since learned from the writer's post-drama interview that she actually started with the "star teachers" of the academies which made sense given that this drama was meant to be a commentary on the korean educational system.

if coming off that premise, then mr. ji's story was vital to the story. the problem lied on the parallels to his story. the whole thing was a precarious balancing act from start to finish and i think the writing team bit off more than they can chew.

it was very evident that they were seesawing from wanting to make a statement and making a slice-of-life drama while also highlighting a romantic-comedy. given the writer's past works, she does have a penchant for serial killer plot lines (see oh my ghost). the genre whiplash was so powerful that i learned what that expression meant cause i needed to name the dizziness i was feeling while watching episodes 12-15.

the only thing that was constant in the whole story was the one they wrapped so quickly and disappointingly which was ji dong hui and his descent to madness. his story was the crux of the commentary. the students' arcs (sua, seungjae, and haeyi) wouldn't have been any different from every other usual kdrama student plot line if not for the parallel to jeong seongyeon/ji dong hui and suyeon's story.

if not for ji dong hui, there wouldn't be a choi chiyeol, the star math teacher. his manipulation, corralling chiyeol into what he thought was what a "trusted adult" should be, and his creepy worship, made choi chiyeol, as a character, three dimensional.

the story wanted a hero, a villain, and a damsel-in-distress. ji donghui was the villain and he needed a hero opposite him which we were made to believe is choi chiyeol. now comes nam haengseon, a fierce dedicated woman whose goal in life was to give her pseudo-daughter and brother a life they deserved. she's fearless, she's unashamed, and she's a forgiver who never held a grudge on anyone not even her horrible sister. she was the hero this story deserved and the story needed her to clash and face the villain, ji donghui.

out comes choi chiyeol, who i discovered is appropriately called a wet pathetic cat of a man, the damsel-in-distress, who had a huge flaw. see, while i adore choi chiyeol (and will die for this fragile man), he was the one main character who had no clear "motivation".

take out the wealth, take out the psychological trauma, and most of all, take out ji donghui/jeong seongyeon, and you'll find just another teacher who is exhausted with the system and but is not doing anything about it. after simulating the whole story and taking out each of the character arcs, you could have taken choi chiyeol (and minus the "romance" part of the story), and you would have a more linear story enough to present a reflection of how the current educational system destroys the health-- the particularly the mental health-- of young students and its repercussions to adulthood.

while watching chiyeol and haengseon's universes collide, the numerous plots/character arcs became more and more far apart from each other. it also suffered from having too many characters who started another thread to an already convoluted plot. like, i love geonhu's character but why introduce him to add a love triangle in nam haeyi's story line when she's already as three-dimensional as a character as she already was? another thing, i thought that the characters of seungjae's mom, dad, and brother were all horribly misused. i also thought that there were too many "scandals" that they tackled. i understand that that was supposed to be the central theme to the story but they have seesawed from the premise throughout the show.

if felt like some episodes restarted the whole plot causing the genre whiplash.

putting a red herring made the murder plot longer than it should have been and having such a short confrontation scene between chiyeol and donghui at the end left the resolution of the plot unsatisfactory. having such a small trial scene about the whole thing felt like that particular plot was unresolved.

i thought the murder plot could've been solved maybe between episodes 9-11 and then we could've seen chiyeol go through the grief which haengseon and her whole family supporting him, getting the experience of a family he deserved since he didn't have anyone when he was grieving his dad's or suyeon's deaths.

having already been so invested in the characters of choi chiyeol, nam haengseon, and her whole family, i think the plot wouldn't have suffered so much seesawing if it focused mainly on the four people and their collided universes. i honestly felt like chiyeol's character was suffering a character change when donghui died that he felt a little irrelevant to the last arc of the show. i would have loved more exploration into chiyeol and haengseon's parent mode.

the most unnecessary plot of all, which i think we all agree, was haeyi's mom coming out of the blue with such weak motivation. she was an end to a mean-- for us to have that one last pity for this poor young girl and root for her to have the family she deserved. which we already knew. we know her character well enough that she was never going to leave haengseon and jaewoo.

crash course in romance is now part of my all time favorite kdramas (i don't watch a lot anyway) and will watch it over and over. i don't think i will get over the frustration of the genre whiplash. rewatching some of the episodes these past few days really made me realise that i wished they just focused more on chiyeol and haengseon. i mostly frustrated that haengseon never told chiyeol about the ep. 10 kiss so i am now trying to write a fanfiction about it.

i believe they hit a jackpot in getting jeon doyeon and jung kyungho for this drama. their chemistry might not be sizzling hot (e.g. binjin couple or songsong couple) but it was powerful enough to get ccir a place in korean entertainment industry.

after all of this rant, i still say thank you to the whole crash course in romance team.

i'll give it a grade of b minus if i'm allowed to.
