Branding in Seongsu
TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024
Branding in Seongsu (2024, South Korea)
Director: Jung Hun Soo
Writers: Choi Sun Mi & Jeon Seon Young
Mini-review:
Look, I'm not gonna say this was good, but it kept me engaged throughout. And it's all thanks to the two leads. They basically save the whole thing with their chemistry and their comedic chops. I was particularly impressed by Lomon, who went out of his comfort zone for this role and delivered in every single scene. The show worked better as comedy than anything else, since it was pretty funny at times. But yeah, whenever it tried to highlight serious issues, it ended up falling into the same old stereotypes. And some of the final twists made little to no sense. I don't regret watching Branding in Seongsu, though, cause the episodes were short and it never had time to get boring. But I do wish the writing and directing were as good as the acting, or less messy at the very least.

I couldn't watch it when it came out because life was its own morbid game. I wanted to watch it in a clearer time.

Bon Appetit - KBL
Episode 1: Amazake
I love myself a show with cooking and brewing and baking. We've started strong with these 2 protagonists - Jung Doo Hoon , an office worker and Yoon Soo, the neighbour who has just moved in next door.
Are they acquaintances? Were they friends before? Time will tell. So far I'm interested in watching this show.

오징어 게임 2021
You have a reason to get out of this place, but I don’t. I thought hard about what I’d do, if I were the one who got out, since you asked me earlier. No matter how hard I thought, though, I got nothing. The one who has a reason should get back out there... that’s what’s right. You can do it. Don’t die in here, okay? And go meet your mother. Go get your brother too. And go to Jeju island.

Date: 2018
Language: Korean
Country: South Korea

2019 (55th) BaekSang Arts Awards - May 1, 2019
Best Actor (Lee Byung-Hun)
Son zamanlarda izlediğim diziler ile kıyaslanmayacak tek kelime ile mükemmel bir diziydi. Güney Kore’nin en başarılı senaristlerinden Kim Eun Sook’un kaleminden çıkan unutulmaz bir hikaye. Daha nasıl anlatayım ne diyeyim bilmiyorum. Kim Eun Sook dizileriyle birçok kez kendini kanıtlamış bir senarist. Secret Garden, Descendants of The Sun, Goblin, The King: Eternal Monarch gibi dizilere imza atmış. Ne kadar övülse az diye düşünüyorum.
Bu dizi için çekimler başladığında başrol oyuncusu Lee Byung-Hun için bir sürü olumsuz eleştiri varmış. Kendisi Kore dışında tanınan nadir oyunculardan olduğu için birçoğuna sanırım Kore dizisinde oynaması garip gelmiş. Ama rol tam anlamı ile onun için yazılmıştı. Ben yine pırıl pırıl bir kafayla bütün bu dedikoduları bilmeden 2018 dizisini 2022 de izledim. Mis gibide oldu. Zaten o zamanlar izleseymişim, bu kadar kore dizisi izleyemezmişim diye düşünüyorum. Bu diziden sonra uzun bir ara bir şey izlemeye elim gitmedi. Lee Byung-Hun’un da biraz dedikodusunu yapacak olursam, kendisi Song Joong Ki’nin eski eşi Song Hye Kyo ile bir süre beraber olduktan sonra yürütememiş, aşkı Lee Min Jung’da bulup evlenmiş. Daha sonrasında karısı ile birtakım olaylar yaşanmasından dolayı medyaya düşmüş. Bu tarz olaylarda Kore’de hemen linç yenildiği için uzunca bir süre sevilmemiş. Buna rağmen Oskar ödül töreni sunan ilk Koreli oyuncudur.
Başrolü 3 erkek 2 kadın gibi düşünüyor olabilirsiniz ama çok yanılıyorsunuz. Dizideki herkes başroldü. Yok abartmıyorum. Dizideki heeerkes başroldü. Dizi bittikten sonra kalitesiz bir yapım izleyemeyeceksiniz. Bir nevi sizin zevkinize de level atlatacak. İlerleyen günlerde zevkiniz tekrar körelebilir, panik yapmayın.
Köle bir ailede dünyaya gelen Choi (Lee Byung-Hun) 5-6 yaşlarındayken ailesinin öldürülmesine şahit olur ve kaçar. Bir şekilde çok küçük yaşta Amerika’ya gitmeyi başarır. Orada orduya katılır ve Amerikan askeri olarak ileriki yaşlarında ülkesine görev icabı gönderilir. Ama geldiği yer, küçükken kaçtığı yer değildir. Ülke dört bir yandan kuşatılmış, farklı milletlerin sömürgesi halinde yaşanmaktadır. Dizinin konusu aslında Joseon'un dört bir taraftan kuşatıldığı bir dönemde, bağımsızlık Ordusunu anlatıyor. Kıyısından köşesinden gerçek insanlara gerçek olaylara dayanan bu hikaye daha en başından üzücü bir hikaye olduğunu bas bas bağırıyordu.
Eugene Choi gelir gelmez bağımsızlık ordusunun bir ferdi olan Go Ae-Shin(Kim Tae-Ri) ile karşılaşır. Ae-Shin o sırada suratında bir maske elinde bir silah ile çatılarda koşuyordur. Bu karşılaşma onların kaderini de yazmış olur. O sırada sahneye benim favori karakterim giriş yapar. Gu Dong-Mae (Yoo Yeon-Seok) kasap dedikleri en alt tabaka bir aileye sahip olan bu genç adam. Aynı Choi gibi küçük yaşta ülkesinden kaçmak zorunda kalmış. Amerika değil de Japonya’ya sığınmış. Bir şekilde tekrar ülkesine dönmüş ama o da Ronin olarak dönmüş. Ronin’ler “sahibi olmayan samuray”lar bir nevi kiralık katiller. Aslında Kore’nin alt tabasından kaçıp Japonya’nın alt tabası olarak büyümüş. Kılıçları bellerinde, sokakta yürüdüklerinde herkesin çekildiği korkutucu tiplerden biri olmuş. Gong-Mae, Ae Shin’i küçüklüğünden hatırlamaktadır. Küçükken ona yardım ettiği için hem minnet duyar hem de “lütfettin” şeklinde bir öfke besler.
Go Ae-Shin aslında asil bir aileden gelmektedir. Bağımsızlık ordusunda olduğunu ailesi bilmediği için ikili bir hayat yaşamak zorundadır. Henüz kundaktayken işgalciler tarafından ailesi öldürülür. Onu dedesi büyütür ama asıl onun yanından hiç ayrılmayanlar hizmetindeki Ms. Haman(Lee Jung-Eun) ve Mr. Haengrang(Shin Jung-Keun) ‘dır. Lee Jung-Eun’a ekstra bayılırım. Aklınıza gelebilecek bütün güzel dizilerde kendisine denk gelebilirsiniz. Oh My Ghost , Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo, Fight for My Way, Familiar Wife, When the Camellia Blooms , Law School, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Soundtrack 1, Our Blues… diye oldukça uzun devam edebilirim. Ayrıca burada parantez açıyorum. Go Ae-Shin ailesi kalp kalp kalp. Babası Go Sang-Wan(Jin Goo), annesi ise Kim Hui-Jin(Kim Ji-Won)’dur. Bu çiftimiz “Descendants of the sun” dizisinde severek izlediğimiz ikinci çiftti. Kısacık, geçmişi gösterirken de olsa onları tekrar bir arada görmek şahaneydi. Konuk oyuncunun bile hakkını vermişler. Parantezi kapatıyorum. Soylu bir aileden geldikleri için kendileri gibi soylu başka bir ailenin oğlu ile Ae-Shin’i nişanlamışlardır. Nişanlısı Kim Hui-Seong(Byun Yo-Han) ise okumak için Japonya’ya gitmiş, 10 yılı aşkın bir süredir ise orada kalmış. Ailesinin ısrarları sonucu o da ülkesine geri döner.
Böylece sahne 3 erkek ile tamamlanır. Başta söylediğim 2. kadına gelirsek. Hem Amerika askerinin hem de Japon askerlerinin konaklamasına açık olan tarafsız bölge niteliğinde bir otel mevcut. Otelin sahibi ölünce dul kalan karısı Hina Kudo(Kim Min-Jung) işleri devralarak tek başına dev kadro olmuş. Aslında küçük yaşta babası tarafından zengin bir Japon iş adamına satılan bu güçlü kadın, aslen Koreli olduğu için kocası ölünce hem memleketine dönmüş hem de kocasının nüfusunu ve parasını kullanarak tarafsız bir alan yaratmış.
Başroldeki Kim Tae-Ri ile ona eşlik eden Lee Byung-Hun arasında 20 yaş fark olmasının izlerken sizi bir kere bile rahatsız etmeyeceğinin garantisini verebilirim. Çünkü dizi fiziksel temasın çok daha ötesinde aşklar anlatıyor. Hem bu kadar yalın hem de bu kadar çok katmanlı bir hikaye anlatmasına rağmen dizi çıktığı dönem çok fazla eleştirilmiş. Bir kısım yakışıklı Ronin’imiz nedeni ile Japonları sevdirmeye çalışılıyor demiş, kimileri Amerika sempatizanlığı yapılıyor demiş. Kimi de tarihi yanlış aktarıyorlar demiş. Ağzı olan konuşmuş. İnanın bütün bu dedikodular, karalamalar dizinin muhteşemliğinden hiçbir şey değiştirmemiş.
Görüntü yönetmeninden sahne dekora, sanat yönetmeninden ışıkçısına kadar herkes dörtdörtlük bir iş çıkarmış. Her bölümün sonunda izleyiciye bir sanat eseri hediye ettiler. Sahne durup müzik girdiği an, ekrandaki görsel şölen inanılmazdı. Her biri screenshot alınıp üzerine saatlerce konuşulabilir anlamlar içeriyordu. Aynı zamanda tablo gibiydiler. Duvarına assan sanat eseri olmadığını kimse söyleyemez. Sinematografisi enfesti. Abartıyormuşum gibi gelebilir ama istisnasız her bölüm mükemmel açılarla ve görsellikle çekilmişti.
3 farklı adamın imkansıza yakın aynı kızı sevmesi ve sizin bile aralarında seçim yapamamanız başarıyı tekrar tekar gözler önüne seriyordu. Ve biz bu 3 adamın bromans’ını izledik. Bence dizinin en güzel sahneleriydi. Üçlünün her seferinde aynı anda içmeye gitmeleri ve aynı masada buluşmaları, hesabın hep Eugene’e kitlenmesi. Dong Mae’nin diğer ikisini öldürmekle tehdit edip sürekli “sizi nasıl keseyim, yatay mı dikey mi” diye sorması. En az aşkları kadar imkansız olan arkadaşlıkları da çok güzeldi.
Konuk oyuncusundan ana kadrosuna kadar o kadar isminden bahsedemediğim kişi var ki… Her birini alkışlıyorum. Ciddi anlamda “bu da gereksiz olmuş” diyebileceğiniz tek bir oyuncu bile yoktu. Bütün karakterler tek tek hikayeye dahil edilmiş, dolu dolu yazılmıştı. Ayrıca bu kadar kaos bir dönemde, bu kadar çok sesli bir ortamı canlandırırken oyuncuların 3 dili de akıcı bir şekilde konuşmaları takdir edilesiydi. Tarih derslerini hiç sevmezdim ama bu dizi küçük bir tarih dersi olmasına rağmen dizinin bu yönünü bile sevdim. O dönem, inanların vatan sevgisi, birlik beraberlikleri, mücadeleleri belki de bu kadar mükemmel yapan şey gerçek olmalarıydı.
Sonuç olarak dizinin sizde çok uzun süre etki bırakacağını bilerek başlayın. Sulu gözlüyseniz daha yarısına gelmeden içiniz çıka çıka ağlayacağınızı, yok ben duygusal insan değilim diyorsanız son 4 bölümde hüngür şakır ağlayacağınızı bilerek başlayın. Bütün karakterlere aşık olacağınızı, kötüleri gördükçe katil iç güdülerinizin bedeninizden çıkmaya çalışacağını bilin.
Tek kelimeyle bir baş yapıt bence. 10 üzerinden 10.

Dream
Movies watched in 2023
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!

What’s the ultimate cost of innocence? A woman (Jeon Do Yeon) accused of murdering her husband, and a secretive woman (Kim Go Eun) known as a witch, strike a dangerous deal. Also starring Park Hae Soo and Jin Sun Kyu, and directed by Lee Jung Hyo ("Crash Landing On You"), the mystery thriller series "The Price Of Confession" is coming, only on Netflix.

Kim Go Eun ("Exhuma," "Little Women," "The King Eternal Monarch," "Goblin") takes on the role of Mo Eun, called a witch among the prison inmates for her uncanny ability to read other people. She strikes a dangerous deal with Yoon Soo.
Park Hae Soo ("Squid Game," "Narco Saints," "Money Heist") plays Baek Dong Hun, a capable prosecutor who possesses strong principles and a cool exterior in any situation. He seeks the secrets between Yoon Soo and Mo Eun with his honor on the line.

have me killed all you want, but I never got the appeal of specifically these three male kdrama actors : Lee Jung Jae, Jung Woo Sung, and Lee Byung Hun. And I'm saying this as fans of dramas they've been in (except for JWS idk anything he's been in)
Like... apart from all the weird things they've done - LJJ outed a gay director and being so homophobic he caused him to take his life, LBH was caught having affairs with female idols behind Lee Min Jung's back to the point where they had material to blackmail him with and she had to take the fall, and JWS meddling with Lee Ji Ah and then ditching her - they just don't give me personality. They don't give me *vibes*. They seem like greasy corny forever-bachelors who are experts in grifting lmao. Like, I really try my best to see something nice or good in them but idk they give me the ick. They give me absolute bland nothingness except a cohort of people screaming at theem. That's it.
Like, there's such an obvious difference between them and the generation slightly before them (the late 80s debuts). Idk why. But I find the generation that was active from 1986 - 1993 way moe charming than the one later on. YES I KNOW they were active in the 90s doesn't change anything though. The generation around Choi Min Soo, Lee Deok Hwa, Choi Soo Jong, Han Seok Gyu and co really put my stadards for male talents UP THEREEEEEEE

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

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

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.

K-actors I need in a leading role very badly:
- Lee Soo Hyuk. I don’t really have to explain this one, but for those still sitting too far away: his voice alone is cause of heart attacks.
- Lim Ji Yeon. She’s great, she’s pretty and I’d like to see her in a series where she is given freedom to express herself in a way that does not necessarily have to scream ‘unapproachable bitch’ (even though…).
- Lee Ji Hun. He’s sexy, yes, but I’d also like for him to simply be silly and just see a lot of him. Please. We need more long haired DILF representation.
- Hwang In Youp. Again, I don’t need to explain this one, but I’d like to say that he deserves better. Let him act like a grown up Jung Joon Hyung (WLFKBJ).
- Lee Joo Bin. Let her be a bad bitch. Let her be a narcissistic asshole with money issues. Just let her act in more roles that are not ‘girlfriend’ or where she is crying all the time. Thanks.
- Shin Sung Rok. He’s been there but I cannot remember any single one of them (whether they were bad, or because I am still not over his version in Vagabond).
- Jung Sung Il. No other reason for this that I’m thirsty for this man. Amen.
- Byeon Woo Seok. He was great, and maybe he could have a drama where he does not meet a tragic ending.
