Idk but I feel like if Su-yeong is alive, she's definitely gonna befriend Yi-kyung's daughter (and probably being her first exposure to the genuinely good type of humans). I guess that's probably why they decided to kill her in episode 2

Love in the Big City TV Series Episodes 7 & 8: Different Flavours of Hope
Like almost everyone else has said, writing about this last part was so difficult. Partially there's so much that was going on, partially I'm afraid to not do this amazing series justice, and partially I'm just not ready to let go. Thanks one last time to @lurkingshan and @bengiyo for putting together the discussion questions and roundup.
I thought it was interesting that this section of the series added Eun Su's proposal fiasco, Yeong's father making an appearance, and the details of Q/Habibi having a wife and child to the material from the book. All of these additions are related to marriages in which the people involved are not happy, whether because they don't fit together and are getting married to stay together (Eun Su), they have another family hidden away (Yeong's father), or they are gay and feel as though they have to cheat in order to get fulfillment (Q). With these examples of all the ways in which marriage can go wrong, ending the series with the main character and all (or most) of his friends single feels much less bleak.
@lurkingshan wrote about how the addition of Eun Su's storyline helped underscore the importance of being authentically ourselves in our relationships, and I was left with the sense at the end of the series that Yeong was ready to show up more as himself than he has at any earlier point in his life.
In the book, the ending hit me harder. Young and Habibi miss the fireworks, and Young wanders into a courtyard of a stranger and cries in the rain; and then we get the flashback to the lantern scene as the final moment. I ended the book thinking Young had started finally feeling his feelings, the first step in being able to move on. I didn't really think he would ever be with Gyu-Ho again, but that he could still find love again and that this time he might be better equipped to keep it, if he kept on that path. But the moment that we're left with, he is still very much in that first stage of processing, and it hurts.
In the series, we get Yeong with the T-aras watching the fireworks, then the lantern scene bleeding back into Yeong and the T-aras, with Yeong's voiceover ruminating about love. Moving from a scene of love and hopelessness to a different kind of love (queer friendship) and hopefulness was a powerful visual end to the series. I think it's significant that he didn't miss the fireworks in this version. We were moved quickly in the series from the despair to the hope, which overall means it was a slightly easier watching experience but I took longer to process my emotions around the ending than I did reading the book.
Speaking of the lantern scene, I go back and forth on the change from "Gyu-Ho" to "love" in the "my only wish" line. On the one hand, Gyu-Ho as Young's only wish was powerful to me because in a way it was selfless; you could read his wish for Gyu-Ho to be not about keeping Gyu-Ho for himself, but for Gyu-Ho to be happy, which is why he makes him go to Shanghai alone. Or, you could read that as self-sabotaging because Young makes sure that he doesn't get to keep the only thing he wished for. On the other hand, in the series, Yeong sees Gyu-Ho and 'love' as interchangable, which is pretty powerful. And his wish being for 'love' means there's more than one way to fulfill it, which fits with the more hopeful tone of the series overall. In the end, I'm glad we have both versions.
The series also felt more hopeful that Gyu-Ho might return. Yeong moving out of Mi Ae's apartment was significant from a moving on perspective, but we still know Gyu-Ho will be returning to Seoul soon (thanks to the bartender) and they must still have each other's numbers and social media accounts. There is definitely more room left open in the series for a second chance. i keep thinking about how Yeong ruminated on the thought that Gyu-Ho never felt like he had a place to make his own, and when he had the chance, Yeong moved into a blank slate and brought as little as he could.
Picking up from that thought about discarding as much as he could, in the series, moreso than in the book, the mattress(es) are a powerful visual metaphor. Gyu-Ho moves his mattress in next to Yeong's, so even when they are living together they aren't quite one, but rather awkwardly sharing space in (as @bengiyo put it, an apartment that was too small). After Gyu-Ho has left for Shanghai, Yeong tosses his mattress, and we see the stain on the sheets that Yeong has been unable to wash out on his own bed--he's still in the mire of his post-breakup depression a year later. His father (who as we recall had a secret family and, once Yeong's mother left him, was absent from Yeong's life) shows up to try to garner favour once Yeong starts winning awards and gives him a mattress, which Yeong unwraps with a one-night stand from the apps, and which turns out to be carcinogenic. He lugs the mattress downstairs and leaves it on the side of the road. Finally, when he moves out, we see him leave his other mattress in the same spot, and move into his new bare condo without any of that old, stained, toxic, ill-fitting baggage.
Lastly, I'm going to call out a visual metaphor that was also in the book but worked so brilliantly in the series: The ceiling fan as a metaphor for Kylie hanging over their heads as Gyu-Ho and Yeong had sex in that cheap hostel without condoms was incredibly powerful. The way the camera was above the fan, so that our visuals were blurred, and we could feel the anxiety hover over what was otherwise a sweet scene? stunning. And it was interesting how the series connected that back to Q/Habibi with his temporary blindness. There's something in there about fear making us blind and not living life to the fullest, but I've already gone on too long and haven't quite figured that thread out yet so I'll stop there.
I was so grateful the novel translation exists, and now I'm even more grateful this adaptation exists. It is so rare for an adaptation to capture so much of what was beloved in the original while adding its own nuances that make it work in the different format. The actors, directors, crew, everyone clearly worked hard on this series, and it came out beautifully. So many tiny details make the visual and audio tapestry of the series so rich, I will definitely be rewatching to find things I missed. It's not a light story, but for so many of us this is closer to our own lives, and sometimes as lonely as a series like this is, it makes me feel less alone to see some of my experiences played out on screen. I cried so hard watching this series, and I am so thankful for the experience.
And thank you to everyone here on tumblr in the litbc book club for making this watching experience that much more powerful and interesting! I have had a fantastic time.

Netflix’s Squid Game
SPOILER ALERT! If you are interested in watching the series, I HIGHLY suggest you do so. This article will be an overall synopsis and my review of the show. For an in-depth analysis of the symbolism of the show and ending, scroll down to the fourth to last paragraph.
The Netflix show, “Squid Game,” written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk is a phenomenal Korean drama centered around our victor, Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae. Contestants were recruited to play in a life or death competition due to their lack of luck, financial knowledge, and influx of impending debt they have accumulated throughout their lives. We first meet Gi-hun as he is down on his luck. Living with his elderly, overworked mother (which in countries outside of the United States is not strange nor uncommon) Gi-hun was a friend to gambling, but that toxic love caused him to be in debt to a gang of (what seemed to be) loan sharks. When luck finally strikes him on the race track, life simultaneously decides to take an excrement on his reality. His debt seekers catch him on his hot streak and involuntarily sign him up to be a participant in the Squid Game.
Similar to many other of the 456 participants, they all shared a common denominator of being in situations it seemed only money could fix. Upon arrival the contestants were asked to voluntarily sign wavers in order to participate in the game, while unknowingly risking their lives, for the opportunity to win 456 billion won (which would be roughly over $3.5 million in US currency). The challenges were mostly based on nostalgic childhood games, both based in the United States and South Korea.
Now I knew due to the explanation in the introduction of episode one that if any player were to lose, they would die. So during the first challenge of red light green light, when players were bulletly penalized for losing I was not surprised. After the game, the players decided to rally together and quit playing. The influence of the cash prize split the decision down the middle, leaving the old man, player 1, to be the final decision. To my surprise he actually chose to decline, freeing all of the players. During the voting, many players screamed at each other as to why they would choose to stay in the hell hole as other players responded that the outside world was not any better if not the same as the harsh environment they were already in. This reality struck many contestants as they returned back to their reality of debt, dependents, and for some bounty hunts, thus resulting in them returning to the game.
During the whole season, I was trying to find the purpose of these games. We knew why the participants felt motivated to play, but I wondered what was the purpose of having them fight for their lives in the first place. When the PlayStation faced soldiers forced the doctor (player 111) to dissect the bodies for organs to sell at the black market, at first I thought that it was what the original game maker wanted which I thought was genius. Soon to learn that it was actually a violation to a code of equality that was placed inside the arena applying to all of those who existed, soldiers and participants alike. Which struck me as odd due to the soldiers being able to tote guns and wear masks based on their own hierarchy and the participants being collectively isolated and given numbers as if it was a remake of the Stanford Prison experiment. Nonetheless many soldiers faced the same fate as the players, and my pondering would meet the solution come the finale.
Let’s discuss players. I only favored Gi-hun because he was the protagonist, but throughout the story he grew on me as his big heart prevailed through the madness. I knew Choo Sang-woo, the embezzling business man and hometown friend of Gi-hun played by Park Hae-soo, was a psychopath when I saw him in a fully filled bathtub with his suit on. Running from the police, in debt or not, that’s just as much of a red flag for serial killer tendencies as sleeping with socks on or having too thin and highly arched eyebrows. The episode that he crossed Ali, the father of one from Pakistan with the missing fingers, made me hate Sang-woo for the rest of the series. I was infuriated and frustrated with Ali for being that naïve to believe that they could escape the round as a duo, but understood his perspective since up until that point Sang-woo was a dependable, trusted ally to Ali. However after that episode I didn’t care who won, I was just ready for Sang-woo to die.
Kang Sae-byeok, the skeptical and beautiful warrior from North Korea played by Jung Ho-yeon, deserves her own paragraph. Along with her beauty, her presence and demeanor was so bad ass. She was thrifty and intelligent, as her talent being pick pocketing. I was waiting for her to just be so bad ass. As the punk disguised to be gangster, Jang Deok-su, pushed her around which seemed to be normal behavior between the two, I was ready for Sae-byeok to twist his arm, send a plunging round house kick to his nuts, and cut his snake tattoo right off of his face. Although her exterior was tough, her heart was made of malleable gold which we got to see as she opened up to her female companion during the marble challenge and sobbed from her loss afterwards. Although she was not the killer bad ass queen I had wanted her to be, I still call her a warrior because of her resiliency throughout life’s and the game’s many obstacles and her drive to provide her younger brother with a better life.
Thankfully Deok-su got what he deserved as Han Mi-nyeo poetically decided to take both of their lives during the glass challenge. “You said we would be together till the end,” she said before diving into her inevitable death with her short lived lover. Mi-nyeo was incredibly annoying as I would often pinch the inside corners of my eyes and scratch my eyebrows when she would appear. However that crazy bitch served justice, and I love her for that.
I was highly disappointed by the demise of the detective Hwang Jun-ho, played by the handsome Wi Ha-joon. I was rooting for detective Jun-ho, as I’m sure we all were, on his pursuit to find his brother. I was not surprised that his brother was Front Man, as I had suspected that his brother must’ve died or been apart of the game making due to his absence in real life and the current game. After discovering his brother was the victor of his year, to me it only made sense that he would be apart of the game enforcement. As we saw from Gi-hun, a normal life is impossible to live after experiencing something so traumatic as a series of death ridden children games. However I was saddened and surprised that detective Jun-ho was unsuccessful in closing down the whole operation. I mean the man was close to performing forced, aristocratic fellatio in the name of serving and protecting the law. I truly thought because he had gotten so far and was so close to exposing the operation that the only choice he had was to be successful. At last he was shot and killed by his own blood, the one he had been looking for; providing us with a cinematic and heart jerking ending to detective Jun-ho.
Lastly lets discuss the old man, player 001 named O Yeong-su, whom I also nicknamed Poppy during the series. Deceivingly innocent and weak, I genuinely liked Yeong-su throughout the game play. I thoroughly enjoyed his relationship with Gi-hun and saw him as a valuable player in most instances. I believe he was one of the main reasons that Gi-hun continued to lead with his heart. Gi-hun claimed that Yeong-su was the reason he returned to the games and later found out that Yeong-su was the reason there were games in the first place. The climatic episode of the marble challenge was when their relationship had been defined as “gganbu” (which is a term for trusted, close friends in Korean, as explained in the series), thus Yeong-su establishing a special place in Gi-hun’s heart. During the challenge, Yeong-su begins to have an episode of what we all assumed to be dementia as the arena they are playing in is designed like his old neighborhood and he abandons the game to take a trip down memory lane. Gi-hun screams in frustration at the old man to play with him only to end up losing in their even and odd game and resulting in deceit, tricking the old man to let him be the victor. Now if I was Gi-hun, I would’ve convinced Yeong-su to let me hold his marbles for safe keeping and let him have a fun time reminiscing on his life while he ran down the clock. Then when it was time, I would’ve turned in all 20 marbles just as Sang-woo did and went about my business. It would’ve only been right for the old man to forfeit as he was already on his death bed, or so we innocently thought. Before I get into the ending, I want to talk about the last match between Sang-woo and Gi-hun.
Finally, the last game to see who would be victorious in a highly anticipated game of Squid between Gi-hun and Sang-woo. It seemed as if it were a battle between good vs evil; Gi-hun representing a more benevolent side as he would often optimistically look to help other competitors and extend the kindness he had been shown versus Sang-woo who represented a more vindictive and ruthless side, determined to hurt anyone in order to receive his highly coveted and long awaited prize in an arena that erased any foundation of morals or ethics as soon as the light turned red. Luck was on Gi-hun’s side as he had the opportunity to play offense. With a cunning mind and a vengeance for Sae-byeok’s death, Gi-hun delivered a can of whoop ass to his opponent. As the saying goes, the good shall always prevail. Perhaps his heart was too pure as Gi-hun halted from crossing the finish line and offered Sang-woo a chance to live, thus forfeiting the prize money. Needless to say, I applauded when Sang-woo committed suicide as it was the only right thing to do in his position.
A year passed by and Gi-hun seemed worse than before. Physically his style was bummy wealthy, a look pioneered by Bill Gates, but mentally he was in shambles. How could you blame him? Gi-hun discovered that the responsible party for these horrendous events was none other than his ggangbu, old man Yeong-su. The biggest, jaw dropping plot twist of the entire series. As they were joined on Christmas Eve and Yeong-su on his death bed, they placed one final bet on an assumed to be drunken, homeless man who sat on the streets as it snowed and waited for help to arrive. Yeong-su explained how he actually wanted to help people and give his money to people who needed it, but wanted to do it in an “entertaining way.” As Gi-hun flared with outrage towards the old man for finding amusement in killing people, the old man rebutted using horse races as an example of people’s amusement. Yeong-su also said he participated in the games because it was more fun to play than to be a spectator, which I had noticed him treating the competition as if it were adult summer camp. I had just assumed since he was old, he didn’t care if he had died or not.
I think most people will think that this show was a metaphor about how money and rich people are evil. However I think it can be seen as commentary on society as a whole, not just the wealthy. Yeong-su says on his death bed that it’s a test of humanity, and asks Gi-hun if he still has faith in humanity after what he has experienced. Although money was the luring motivator to win the game, people still chose to return to the competition to escape their problems. Sure, money was apart of their problems as all of the players (excluding Yeong-su) were in debt, but that was due to choices that they had made. Whether it had been through embezzling, gambling, lack of luck, or financial ignorance, it was the people who had gotten themselves into those situations. Money doesn’t have a personal vendetta against anyone nor does it have an inherent quality of good or evil. Money is a neutral energy used to be exchanged for goods and services. It’s people who designate that energy to their humane or inhumane desires.
Leading to the next point of the wealthy and how they are seen to be evil due to having wealth. Although I do believe that there are some wealthy people who act as villains, money didn’t create the villain inside of them. Those people were going to behave maliciously whether they have money or not. The VIPs, who were spectating the finale of challenges, were tied to a bank devoted to the wealthy and gambled on the competitors who played (and most likely helped subsidize the events). We place judgement on them, but as Yeong-su said, people gamble on horse races. Although people are not animals and by my knowledge I don’t believe most or any horses die during these races, it is still the principle of watching an entity being tortured for amusement, which is not only confined to the wealthy population. When the concept of killing and tormenting living breathing beings for amusement is normalized within society, the lines begin to blur on who is okay to perform and who is not. Take the audience of this show for example, we all watched a show where hundreds of people were mercilessly killed for the desire of winning a cash prize for our own amusement, thus making “Squid Game” the number one show on Netflix at the moment. Although the show is fictional and brilliantly written, this Hunger Games concept is not new. We come in contact again and again with the idea of people who are disadvantaged given an opportunity to better their lives through inhumane means, including risking their own lives or actively sacrificing the life of another, and being spectators on the edge of our seats who can’t seem to look away. It is no different than a Roman gladiator match in a grand colosseum, which in modern day would be a MMA fight at the MGM hotel. We blame it on the rich who are ridiculed for creating these events, but at the end of the day it is the people, rich,poor, and everyone in between, who continue to still go along with it and to some extent desire it. Which makes me question, what does that say about humanity, and do I actually have faith in us? Although Gi-hun went through hell and back, he still remained pure of heart and used his wealth to enhance his life and those around him; proving that wealthy people can still be benevolent and desire righteous good. Similar to Gi-hun, the optimist in me wants to believe that there are still people in this world with good hearts, but I guess we just have to wait until the time comes to see.
Ultimately the show was phenomenal, and definitely sparked a desire inside of me to watch more Korean dramas. I don’t think the show will have a second season. Simply because I think the story line would be better cut off there, thus leaving the audience always wanting more. However if season 2 ever comes out, I’m ready for Gi-hun to take a Liam Neeson approach to ending the Squid Game and hopefully with a beard. Thank you for reading my article. I know it was incredibly lengthy. I have just finished the season after a 2 day binge watch, and have a lot of emotions and thoughts ruminating in my brain. Let me know what you think of the show and what you think of the article. Did anyone else notice the paintings of the games on the walls of the dormitory?
God bless.

Squid Game cast if they make a fucking American remake
Gi-hun: Chris. Any Chris. Chris Pratt, Chris Pine, Chris Evans, you pick. Probably renamed Gilbert.
Sang-woo: Jon Hamm. Make him way more sexist. Renamed Sam or some shit.
Sae-byeok: Someone like Selena Gomez or Victoria Justice. Instead of being from NK they’d make her a *gasp* Mexican immigrant who came to the US for a better life. Renamed the most generic Spanish sounding name possible.
Deok-su: Adam fucking Driver. But they’d beef him up, give him facial hair and the snake tattoo and basically do whatever they possibly could to amp up the potential for thirst and woobification. But you know they’d give him a name like Derek.
Mi-nyeo: Helena Bonham Carter or some shit. Anyone to really emphasize the crazy. Renamed Mina, because why the fuck even bother at this point.
Jun-ho: Timothée Chalamet. Fucking hell. You know it would be Timothée Chalamet. He’d also take off his mask a lot more often to snatch up any chance to show his gaunt face. They’d call him Jon.
Ji-yeong: Anya Taylor Joy, because of course. Given a much more dramatic yet refined & sugarcoated backstory to make her as OP as possible. Renamed Julie or Juliet.
Ali: You KNOW they would just have Anupam Tripathi reprise his role because they can’t be bothered to recast him or change up his character in any way.
Il-nam: No fucking idea who they’d cast but they’d rename him Ian.
#squid game#disclaimer this is a JOKE I absolutely do not want this to happen#knowing how bad american remakes are this would make me fucking cry

Strange and unpleasant events surround the apartment and its tenants, resulting in a very engrossing story.

He meets new partners and they try to solve the case together. While serial murder is a dark subject, Tunnel provides some humorous and heartfelt moments.
The Guardians
The Guardians brings together a group of vigilantes including a prosecutor, a police officer, a hacker, and a surveillance camera whiz. They work together as they pursue justice after losing their loved ones. In particular, Jo Su-ji (Lee Si-young) is looking for the truth behind her young daughter’s death. With the crew taking the law into their hands and encountering difficult situations, The Guardians is quite action-packed.
2 Weeks
If you’re looking for more action, 2 Weeks will be a good match! Jang Tae-san (Lee Joon-gi) finds out he has a daughter with leukemia and that he’s a match for her as a donor. Unfortunately, he becomes framed for committing murder. This forces him to become a fugitive so he can flee from authorities for two weeks before returning to save his daughter’s life. The heartwarming story in addition to the action makes for a winning combination!
Vagabond
Vagabond is quite captivating and full of suspense. Makes sense with Cha Dal-geon (Lee Seung-gi) being a stuntman and Go Hae-ri (Bae Suzy) being a National Intelligence Service agent. Tragedy strikes with Dal-geon’s nephew dying in a fatal plane crash. However, Dal-geon begins investigating when he realizes someone survived the crash and it may not have been an accident. You can also enjoy scenic views as some episodes were filmed in Morocco!
SKY Castle
SKY Castle boasts a different type of suspense from the other dramas on this list. It centers around four very wealthy families and the education of their children. The parents are extremely competitive and obsessed with making sure their kids get into one of the top three universities in Korea. With so much pressure placed on the students, they struggle and crack. You’ll be enraptured by the unconventional K-drama for sure!
With long weekends/public holidays coming up, it’s a great time to add these thrillers to your Netflix watchlist and settle in for a thrilling day/night!

[[it’s now 9 AM and i’m finally going to try to sleep now since i stayed up longer just to write this out and i feel dead honestly lolol;;; anyways, as i said, this is @honeybuddalovah and @lololstar‘s lovechild! everything is under the read more link~]]
NAME: Byeong-Su. (aka Defender of Justice Jr.)
AGE: 14.
GENDER: Genderfluid. | Still goes by he/him pronouns.
HEIGHT: 5'5".
WEIGHT: 120 pounds.
EYE COLORS: # F7BD4E / # D08EF0; Soft orange / soft violet.
S+R/O: Pansexual, panromantic.
VOICE: Akeno Watanabe, VA for Rin Matsuoka (young) from Free!.
OTHER: He has insomnia.
PERSONALITY
█ He's very curious! He enjoys going out and experiencing things for himself rather than not. He never hesitates to step outside his comfort zone because where's the fun if you don't even try? He's always eager to learn new things and will take every opportunity he's given to try new things. It's more fun that way!
█ This kid probably never stops talking due to how energetic and enthusiastic he is. He gets very excited when he learns something new (or something similar) and will talk nonstop about it to anyone who's willing to listen. Considering how talkative he can be about absolutely anything, he's decent with making friends and/or connecting with others frequently. He likes hearing other people's opinions about whatever he's talking about as he sees it as a way to expand his mind even further. Having excellent people skills serves its purpose of doing a good job as an add-on to his personality: he enjoys making small talk or going into deep conversations - anything, really. It'll bring him bliss regardless.
█ Byeong-Su is quite friendly towards everyone at first no matter who or what you are. This friendliness tends to come off as him being a rather approachable and happy person with an altruistic-spirit and such. He'll get along with pretty much anyone to be honest - as long as you don't cross his boundaries.
█ He gets stressed easily and has a difficulty with focusing completely. The littlest things can get to him even if it doesn't seem like it does. He overthinks things way more than he knows he should and his insomnia does not help him feel better about it at all. This boy probably gets as much sleep as his hacker father does. Byeong-Su's problems with focusing is a trait he personally despises with a burning passion. He gets distracted so easily at the smallest things it's unbelievable. He partially hates himself for it.
█ His emotions controls him more than anything. It's more of a curse than a blessing truthfully - he feels his emotions strongly, and it's even worse when he's upset. He's prone to have emotional outbursts during conflicts and/or when under stress, and when he does have those outbursts it's as if a bomb exploded. He's horrible at keeping everything bottled up inside because one little thing can cause him to have a meltdown.
█ He'll push people away from him if they try to get to know him personally. He doesn't want to get attached to anyone because it'd only be a burden, and if the person got attached to him, they'd be more prone to being in danger. As much as a relationship would be nice, he's never going to open up to anyone anytime soon to even give them the chance. You'll probably only get to know the persona he hides behind since that's the closest he'll allow you to get to him. He'll get aggressive and will say harsh things to you that aren't true, but if it'll drive you away then he needs to. He'd always tell himself he doesn't deserve a greater happiness like that anyways. It's quite funny how he's so terribly afraid of being alone forever when he's always pushing people away.
█ Gets jealous and possessive easily however. If he'll ever fall in love at all, he'll get slightly worried if you refer to someone else as a pet/nickname or if you talk to someone other than him for too long. He'd want you to only look at him, but he knows he shouldn't be selfish, so you'll never know he feels like this. He'd just want you to be his and his only. Why do you have to talk to other people when he's right here...?
TRIVIA
█ HE IS SUCH A PRANKSTER I SWEAR TO GOD. He's like a mini Saeyoung when it comes to pulling pranks on others - it is the absolute worst thing ever yet is the best thing ever. He tends to pull pranks on Yoosung the most, but he'll occasionally have this "prank war" with Saeyoung. Their house always ends up being a huge mess afterwards. Oops.
█ LOLOL is love, LOLOL is life. Good god, he'll play LOLOL with Yoosung (and/or Saeyoung) for hours upon hours. It's their favorite game, after all. Sometimes he'll hack into the server and make Yoosung lose on purpose just to see him rage. Isn't he such a nice kid?
█ Tiny hacker in the making!!! He wants to become a hacker like Saeyoung one day!
█ Tends to hide behind an ideal persona. He just wants to seem like the "happy" person in friendship groups. Although, a facade can only last for so long. Those who are close to him however can read him like an open book...but not many people actually are that close to him so no-one really knows except for his parents.
█ He has a shirt that says "Defender of Justice Jr." and Saeyoung has one that says "Defender of Justice". They probably have matching capes like that too.
█ HE LOVES ANIMALS. THEY ARE SO PURE AND INNOCENT AND HE LOVES THEM ALL.
█ Likes playing race car games on his phone. He's not obsessed with cars really, but he does find racing interesting if that's anything.
█ HE LOVES TO BUILD ROBOTIC ANIMALS WITH SAEYOUNG. MOST OF THEM PROBABLY BREATHE FIRE BUT THAT'S OKAY!!! He really loves building and tinkering with things so much oh my god. Give him a box of legos and he'll most likely manage to make something stupid yet amazing with them.
█ He has glow in the dark stars on his ceiling.
█ He loves astronomy and cosmology - he kinda wants to be a cosmologist. He loves space as much as his parents do.
█ His favorite music producer is S3RL and his favorite song is this.
█ His glasses are prescription but he really....doesn't care. Sometimes he'll wear them, sometimes he won't. It depends on the day and his mood.
█ He likes watching/listening to the sound of waves go back and forth. It's soothing.
█ His favorite food is Fried Rice Crackers.
█ Doesn't like horror movies.
█ Spams the chatrooms with memes at 3 AM.

Lady Vengeance (Chinjeolhan geumjassi)
Lady Vengeance (Chinjeolhan geumjassi) - Korean Movie Review
Language: Korean Director: Park Chan-Wook Running time: 112 min Release year: 2005 Cast: Yeong-ae Lee, Choi Min-Sik, Kwon Ye-Young, Kim Shi-Hoo, Oh Dal-Su, Lee Seung-Shin, Ko Su-Hee, Kim Byeong-Ok
Movie Review: The plot synopsis really doesn’t do this movie justice. The movie starts off with Geum-Ja being released from prison, and her past is told through flashbacks. “Sympathy For Lady Vengeance”…

Synopsis : Kim Jae-myeong est le chef de l’unité d’enquêtes criminelles. Il est décrit comme un inspecteur sophistiqué et charismatique qui est plus déterminé et audacieux que jamais sur les enquêtes difficiles. Il se retrouve confronté au Président Jin qui est à la tête du plus grand réseau de fraudes appelé One. Le cerveau de One est Park Jang-goon qui se retrouve entre Jae-myeong et Jin.
Origine du film : Corée du Sud Réalisateur : Cho Ui-seok Scénaristes : Cho Ui-seok, Kim Hyun-duk Acteurs : Lee Byung-hun, Kang Dong-won, Kim Woo-bin, Uhm Ji-won, Oh Dal-su, Jin Kyung, Woo Do-hwan, Kim Byeong-ok Musique : Kang Ki-yeong, Jang Yeong-gyu Genre : Action, Policier, Thriller Durée : 2 heures et 23 minutes Date de sortie : 21 décembre 2016 (Corée) Année de production : 2016 Sociétés de production : Movie House, Zip Cinema Distribué par : CJ Entertainment Titre original : Maseuteo / 마스터 Notre note : ★★★★☆
Notre commentaire : “Maseuteo” ou “Master” pour la distribution internationale, est un thriller policier datant de 2016, co-écrit et réalisé par Cho Ui-seok, à qui l’on doit également “Cold Eyes” (2013). Les acteurs principaux sont Lee Byung-hun, qu’on a pu voir dans “Inside Man” (2015), Gang Dong-won, qu’on a pu voir dans “The Priests” (2015), Kim Woo-bin, qu’on a pu voir dans “The Con Artists” (2014), Jin Kyung, qu’on a pu voir dans “Veteran” (2015), Kim Byeong-ok, qu’on a pu voir dans “Memories of War” (2017), et Oh Dal-su, qu’on a pu voir dans “Memoir of a Murder” (2017).
La thématique de la magouille financière est loin d’être complètement originale dans le cinéma, et on se rappelle tous en avoir vu au moins un dans sa vie de cinéphile. Le récent “Le Loup de Wall Street” (2013) de Martin Scorsese en est un excellent exemple, mais également “The Big Short : Le Casse du Siècle” d’Adam McKay avec son prestigieux casting en est un autre exemple. Parfois même, la réalité sert de trame pour la fiction comme pour “The Wizard of Lies” de Barry Levinson, où l’on découvre les mécanismes du système de Ponzi. En son temps, les Français s’étaient également essayés au genre par l’intermédiaire de Jacques Rouffio pour son film “Le Sucre” (1978) avec Gérard Depardieu et Jean Carmet, entre autres. Les coréens ne sont donc pas en reste, et nous proposent donc ce métrage “Master” paru l’année dernière au pays du matin calme.
Alors vu la thématique, on pourrait s’imaginer qu’on va littéralement se faire chier avec des chiffres, des explications, et se perdre dans des histoires de paradis fiscaux, réminiscence des affaires du type Panama Papers, démontrant les montages via des sociétés offshores, etc. Il n’en est rien. “Master” nous invite à suivre le président Jin (Lee Byung-hun), un maître dans l’art de l’escroquerie, à l’origine d’une vaste opération de malversations sous le couvert d’une société bidon, One Network. À la tête d’une brigade financière et d’investigation criminelle, se trouve Kim Jae-myung (Kang Dong-won) bien décidé à mettre un terme à toutes ces magouilles. Pour cela, il va mettre la pression sur Park Jang-goon (Kim Woo-bin), homme à penser du président Jin, afin que celui-ci trahisse son patron.
Alors qu’est-ce qui fait donc que “Master” est un bon film ? Plusieurs choses en fait. D’abord sa construction. En effet, Cho Ui-seok, le réalisateur, scinde son film en deux parties distinctes. Durant la première, on peut observer la mise en place des personnages, leur caractère, leur objectif, leurs compétences. La tentative visant à arrêter le principal antagoniste de l’histoire va échouer, et ce dernier va fuir aux Philippines. De là, le métrage bascule dans la deuxième partie, et on va voir se mettre en place le principe de l’arroseur arrosé, et c’est la police qui va arnaquer le vilain et ainsi le piéger.
Il n’en reste pas moins qu’il y a une grosse partie du film qui est consacrée à de nombreuses scènes d’action. Courses-poursuites, bagarres, fusillades et finalement explosions sont au programme. Cette partie met plutôt en scène l’acteur Gang Dong-won qui incarne donc l’enquêteur en chef. L’ensemble se termine par une confrontation entre ce dernier et la star coréenne Lee Byung-hun, offrant au passage une excellente prestation dans le rôle d’ un gourou de la finance, manipulateur de foule, à l’image d’un mentaliste. Ce dernier a d’ailleurs reçu une nomination dans la catégorie “Best Actor” pour les 53e Baeksang Arts Awards qui se sont tenus le 3 mai 2017 à Séoul, prix finalement remporté par Song Kang-ho pour sa performance dans “The Age of Shadows” (2016).
En toile de fond, bien que le focus ne soit pas pleinement orienté sur ce point, on peut relever l’impact que ce type de magouille à grande échelle peut avoir sur le petit épargnant qui perd pour ainsi dire tout, soit les économies d’une vie, ayant investi afin d’assurer une retraite heureuse, ou le financement des études à venir d’enfants. Rendre justice à ces personnes, est le leitmotiv du personnage principal, n’hésitant pas pour atteindre cet objectif de justice, à se mettre en porte-à-faux avec sa hiérarchie. On peut encore relever, sujet récurrent dans le cinéma coréen, que le script égratigne au passage les politiques et autres personnes influentes, qui, moyennant finances, soutiennent des malfaiteurs de haut vol.
En conclusion, “Master” est très bon thriller policier, disposant d’une histoire nous immergeant dans le monde de la magouille financière à grande échelle. L’intrigue est habilement ficelée avec de nombreux rebondissements. Les personnages sont bien travaillés et la distribution offre de très bonnes prestations. On retiendra les performances des trois acteurs principaux, Lee Byung-hun, Kang Dong-won, Kim Woo-bin. Les scènes d’actions sont bien orchestrées et viennent harmonieusement s’incruster dans l’investigation ainsi que le dénouement final. La photographie est honorable et le rythme est engageant. L’ensemble est donc un très bon divertissement venant se positionner comme l’un des très bons films coréens de l’année 2016.
