Kdrama misc.

Wedding Impossible: eps 1 & 2 are great, especially Jun Jung-seo as A-jeong, who gives her all into her craft even if the returns are so paltry. The first 2 eps build up the situation between her and Do-han into a fascinating hotbed of conflict, and I was onboard. Then ep 4 pissed away all that goodwill, in record speed. Why would A-jeong, who takes pride in acting, let Ji-han publicly woo her in Busan when she’s supposed to be his brother’s fiancé? And why was Do-han sectioned away in the story, prevented from knowing this? Ji-Han jerking around A-jeong, A-jeong letting him do it, it all felt old-school, and I don’t mean that as a compliment. And Moon Sang-min still needs another year playing supporting roles so he can build up a deck of facial expressions. Will watch a couple more eps, just in case it gets better.

Queen of Tears: I’ve already talked a lot about this one. Technically, everything is well done, but man, I don’t care for that romance. The drama is at its best and most sincere when it’s being funny, and despite being oddly underused, the supporting cast are really holding everything together. I don’t get why you would create a world where Kwak Dong-yeon and Lee Joo-bin are a couple and not talk more about that. I want to see more of everyone that isn’t Hyun-woo. But I’m obsessed with how good Kim Ji-won is.

The red sleeve: So brilliant, even when it’s bad lol. I’m a Junho stan til I die, and Lee Se-young is a very dear addition to my ever growing list of favourite actresses. The script is delicious. Eps 8 & 9 are like, really bad though. Awful. What a waste of Court Lady Jo’s character, and a gorgeous Park Ji-young performance. It’s a choice to make a group of women who, verbatim, “want to choose their own king”, look like deviants. But between spoilers & reading about Consort Ui, it looks like the story is still going to come to the same conclusion as those women - that the monarchy are parasitic (even those that are good faith actors), extorting mental & physical labour from an underclass of powerless women. Makes no sense to suddenly go, “but these ladies took it too far!!” Lol, be serious. But taking them seriously might’ve complicated how we see Deok-im’s unwavering certainty in Yi-san’s ability to rule. Each time she throws herself into the line of fire for him, I get a little sad. Love her and Yi-san tho. Now, that’s romance.

Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon

Movies watched in 2024

Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon (2021, USA)

Director & Writer: Ana Lily Amirpour

Mini-review:

This is exactly what I needed today: it's weird, fun and refreshingly original. Jeon Jong Seo did just as well as I expected, and it's clear she has a gift for this type of quietly intense roles. They're just a perfect fit for her unique aura. And the supporting cast also did a fantastic job, bringing to life a series of colorful characters that add a lot of flavor to the proceedings. I really enjoyed how offbeat the plot is, and how well it uses the New Orleans setting. In fact, I'd go as far as saying the city itself is a character in the story, and I love when movies do that sort of thing. And the visuals are also stunning. I'd heard great stuff about Ana Lily Amirpour's style, and after watching Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon I can perfectly understand what people mean. I guess I'll have to check out her other films at some point.

ibiza

tokyo (lee hong-dan) x f!reader

warnings: fear, mentions of death, warnings that go along with the canon story

based off of this request

the first rule of being an undercover agent? don’t get too attached.

unfortunately, you broke that rule the moment you met tokyo.

you, aka ibiza, is a cop turned secret agent for the professor. you, the girl who could talk her way out of anything, who could charm even the most skeptical bastard into believing whatever she wanted them to believe.

you were built for deception, for playing both sides, for keeping secrets.

however, tokyo made you reckless. tokyo made you weak.

it started long before this heist, long before you found yourself knee-deep in something so much bigger than yourself. tokyo, with her fire, her fearlessness, her unpredicted chaos...she should have been your opposite.

instead, she was your gravity. she pulledyou in, holding you close, making you forget that you were supposed to stay untouchable.

now, as the professor tells you for the hundredth time that tokyo is okay, you can’t stop the panic clawing at your throat.

“she’s inside. she’s safe, berlin is not hurting her” he says, his voice calm and calculated, “you need to focus.”

safe.

he says it like it’s a guarantee, like it means anything in this world where nothing is certain. where bullets don’t discriminate, where mistakes are fatal.

where tokyo, with all her fire, might burn too brightly and leave nothing but ashes behind.

you nod anyway because what else can you do?

the heist is unfolding like a meticulously crafted symphony, every note played exactly as planned...until it isn’t. until tokyo is caught, and you feel your entire world tilt off its axis.

“professor,” your voice cracks over the comms, something that never happens, “she’s...she’s caught."

“stay in position, ibiza. its apart of the plan.”

when you notice the inspector, your superior, in front of tokyo while trying to interrogate her.. you forced yourself to look away. tokyo didn't dare to look at you, since the police already suspect that there is a mole on their side and she might blow it for you.

the professor tells you to stay out of the next plans, but you join it anyways.

you’re moving before he can argue, before he can remind you of the plan.

the rescue is messy. seoul, one of your long time peers thanks to your job, is by your side, the both of you moving like a force of nature, taking out obstacles with ruthless precision.

you don’t think, you just act, because if you stop to think about what could happen, what might already be happening, you’ll lose it.

tokyo doesn’t need you losing it right now. she needs you to get her out.

when you finally reach her, she’s cuffed, bloodied, but smirking like she never doubted you’d come for her.

“took you long enough.”

you don’t smile. can’t. instead, you cup her face, running your fingers over the fresh bruise on her cheek.

“are you hurt?”

“nothing i can’t handle.”

"tokyo, please.."

you sigh.

"I am fine, ibiza."

of course she’d say that. of course she’d brush it off like it’s nothing, as if your heart isn’t in your throat. she doesn’t realize that if she had died because of the police, you wouldn’t have survived either.

seoul nudges you both, “save it for later, lovebirds. we need to move.”

so you do. you get her out, you get her safe, and for the first time since this nightmare started, you breathe.

back in safety where the professor is staying, tokyo leans against you, her warmth grounding you in a way nothing else can.

“you were scared for me,” she murmurs, and there’s something unreadable in her eyes.

“no shit,” you mutter, looking away. but she grabs your chin, making you meet her gaze.

“you don’t have to be.”

but you always will be.

Wedding Impossible

I didn't even have time to let you know I was going to watch this series. I pretty much went head on and finished it in a couple of days. I liked this story. The characters feel real and misunderstanding and pain is what drives all the misfortunes in the story. I like Do Han's friendship with Na A Jeong, even though he was so selfish towards her and his brother. I loved how Ji Han and A Jeong got to know each other and fell in love.

It's a simple story but heartfelt, sweet and fun to watch. I liked the fact that Secretary Kim got what Ji Han had promised since he was little. I like that the grandfather is able to build a relationship with the one grandson he had cast aside growing up. The family dynamics at the Na household was nice too.

Do Han and Ji Han's relationship is difficult but they love each other very much, these are boys that are broken and A Jeong is the one that understands and supports him. And at the same time, these two brothers are the ones that understand her too.

I enjoyed watching this series!

P.S. It feels so weird to see Kwon Hae Hyo playing a grandfather role! Time flies but to me these older actors are forever young.

LOVE ALL PLAY// KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı : 7,7 Benim puanım: 8

Drama: Love All Play / Going to You at a Speed of 493km (literal title)

Hangul: 너에게 가는 속도 493km

Director: Jo Woong

Writer: Heo Sung-Hye

Date: 2022

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Park Ju-Hyun, Chae Jong-Hyeop, Park Ji-Hyun, Kim Mu-Jun, Seo Ji-Hye, Jo Han-Chul, Jeon Bae-Su, Lee Ji-Hyun

Webtoon uyarlaması olan bu dizi direk beklentilerin üzerinde başlıyor. Spor konulu dizilere göre biraz daha karanlık bir yapıya sahip olmasıyla benzerlerinden de ayrılıyor. Yine de bir “Weightlifting fairy kim book joo” olamamış olsa da bağımsız olarak beklediğimden daha iyi bir diziydi.

Park Tae-Joon (Chae Jong-Hyeop) badminton malzemeleri mağazası olan bir ailenin oğludur. Spor onun için sadece bir iştir. Bir takıma, spor kulübüne girmek ve düzenli para almak. Dümdüz beklentisiz, sadece yapabildiği için yaptığı bir şeydir. Park Tae-Yang(Park Ju-Hyun) ise olimpiyatlarda oynamış ancak kişisel sebeplerle bir anda ortadan kaybolup takımı yüzüstü bırakmış bir badminton öğrencisidir. Bir yıl aradan sonra okula geri döner. Herkesi yarı yolda bırakmış olmasından dolayı hiç kimse onu hoş karşılamaz. Gidişinin üzerine çıkan rüşvet skandalı da tuz biber olmuştur.

Kızımızın sporu bırakmasının nedeni çok uzun süre gizemini korurken bir miktar sıkılıyorsunuz. Ama geri dönüşü, tekrar aynı performansına kavuşmaya çalışması ve arkadaşları ile arasını düzeltme çabası dizinin konusunu oluşturuyor. Bu süre zarfında Park Tae-Joon da kendini keşfedip, yaptığı sporu kişiselleştirmeye kendini keşfetmeye başlıyor. İkilinin arasındaki etkileşim göz dolduruyordu. Ayrıca oldukça yakıştıklarını da söylemeliyim.

Uzun uzadıya anlatabilecek bir konusu yok, hayattan bir kesit ve gençlerin kendini bulma yolculuğu olarak düşünebilirsiniz. Takım koçu Lee Tae-Sang karakteri ile başarılı oyuncu Jo Han-Chul’u izliyoruz. Oldukça renkli ve eğlenceli bir karaktere hayat veriyor. Oyuncuyu severim, karakterini de sevdiğimi söyleyebilirim. Koçun kızı Lee Yoo-Min (Seo Ji-Hye)’de farklı bir takımda aynı şekilde badminton oyuncusu.

Park Joon-Young rolü ile Park Ji-Hyun’u izliyoruz. Dizinin bir diğer gizemli karakteri. Gizemli olduğu kadar sevimsiz olduğunu söylemeliyim. Yumi's Cells dizisinde de oldukça sinir bozucu bir roldeydi. Sanırım bu tarz roller ona yapışıp kalacak gibi görünüyor. Ve Park Joon-Young ‘un eski sevgilisi Yook Jung-Hwan(Kim Mu-Jun) olimpiyatlarda oynayan şımarık bir genç. Tıpkı Park Tae-Yang gibi tam zirvedeyken ortadan kaybolan Park Joon-Young etrafındakilerle ilişkisini bir anda kesmiş. Onun kaybolma nedeni o kadarda gizemli değil ama izlerken görün diye detaya inmeyeceğim. İlişkisini kestiği insanlar arasında sevgilisi de olunca, bu kabul etmesi zor bir durum halini almış.

Sonuç olarak dizinin farkındalık adına duyar kasması biraz abartılmış olsa da ben beğendim. Vicdan azabı ve gizem temaları beni de bir süre darladı. Yine de izlemeye değer bir hikayeydi. Tabi bu ne kadar bir süre akılda kalıcı olur bilmiyorum. Bazı diziler izlerken keyif verse de bir süre sonra insanın hafızasından siliniyor, çok yer etmiyor.

Dream (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Lee Byeong Heon

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be very honest: I hate football/soccer and, initially, I only wanted to watch this because I adore IU. So, color me surprised, cause I enjoyed it a lot. I should have seen it coming tbh, cause I've always liked this type of inspirational-underdog storylines. Anyway, the characters were engaging, the script was really funny and witty, and the whole cast was great. IU does steal the show, proving that she has a natural knack for fast-paced comedy and one-liners (I swear I'm not being biased here). But all the other actors do an amazing job too! My only real complain is that the movie felt a tad too long, and the final act dragged a bit. But, besides that, I had a lot of fun watching it and I would definitely recommend it!
