2016 MBC Drama Awards - December 30, 2016

Excellent Actress (mini series) (Lee Sung-Kyung)

Best New Actor (Nam Joo-Hyuk)

Bir kısım yaşım büyük olduğu için bana hitap etmedi derken, bir kısım bende üniversite öğrencisi olduğum için çok beğendim şeklinde yorumlar yapmışlar. Ben iki kesime de maalesef katılmıyorum. Diziye objektif olarak yaklaşırsanız, bir hikayeyi oldukça kibar ve eğlenceli bir şekilde anlattığını fark edeceksiniz. En nihayetinde İzleyici olarak kimse yalnızca kendi yaş aralığının hikâyesini izlemiyor. Kaldı ki, Kore dizilerinde oyuncuları ilk okula da koysan oynuyorlar, 45 yaşın bunalımını anlatan bir diziye de koysan oynuyorlar. Bu durumun oyunculardan da kaynaklandığını düşünmüyorum. Dizinin Kore'nin Milli Haltercisi olan Jang Mi Ran'ın hayatından esinlenildiği yönünde bilgiler mevcut.

Dizi; halterci bir kızın aşkı keşfetmesini konu alıyor. Yaptığı spor dalı nedeni ile kilosunu muhafaza etmesi gerekirken, bir zayıflama merkezinde doktor olarak çalışan kendinden yaşça büyük Jung Jae-Yi (Lee Jae-Yoon)’ye ilgi duymaya başlıyor. Jung Jae-Yi’nin kardeşi Jung Joon-Hyung(Nam Joo-Hyuk) ise halterci kızımızın ilk okuldan arkadaşı çıkıyor. Aynı zamanda aynı üniversitede yüzücü olarak eğitim alıyor. Kulağa bir aşk üçgeni gibi gelse de dizinin kesinlikle öyle bir havası yok. Halterci kızımız Kim Bok Joo (Lee Sung-Kyung), erkek gibi büyümüş, romantik duyguları tatmamış bir genç kız olduğu için ona iyi davranan yetişkin bir erkek gördüğünde hayranlık ile aşkı karıştırıyor. Dizideki genel insan ilişkileri, sevgi dozları, iş ilişkileri her şey çok dozunda ayarlanmış. Yüzücü gencimiz Jung Joon-Hyung ile aralarındaki diyalog ve arkadaşlıklarının gelişimi ise diziyi izlemeye değer kılıyor.

Oyuncu olarak Nam Joo-Hyuk ile sanırım ilk kez burada tanıştık. Açıkçası sonrasında izlediğim rolleri dahil kendisini hiç sevemedim. Bu dizide izlerken evet yakışmıştı ama bana hep bir şekilde itici geldi. Kendi adıma elektrik alamadım diyebilirim. Öte yandan Lee Sung-Kyung da ilk defa bu dizide karşıma çıkmasına rağmen kesinlikle rolün hakkını vermiş son derece sempatik bir oyuncuydu. Karakteri tam anlamı ile yaşıyordu. Koreli minyon kızlar için bir halterciyi oynamak oldukça zor olsa gerek.

Diğer tarafa geçecek olursak, ben yan karakterleri çok sevdim. Her biri kendi içinde çok keyifli, gerçekten yardımcı karakterlerdi. Ana karakterlerin hikayesini anlatmak için içi boş görüntü olsun diye yazılmamışlardı. Bok joo’nun amcasını daha önce Oh my Ghost da izlemiştim. Rahatsız edici ama aynı zamanda şeytan tüyü olan bir oyuncuydu. Burada da görmek hoşuma gitti. Keza arkadaşlarını ve onların hikayelerini izlemekte tatmin edici oldu. Aynı zamanda konuk oyuncu olarak kısacık görünen Park Seo-Joon ve Lee Jong-Suk da göz doldurdular.

Sonuç olarak sadece bir aşk hikayesi izlemedik. Bir grup insanın hayatlarına kısa süreliğine ortak olduk. Yaşadıkları kaygılara, sorunlara, hayallere, hedeflere tanıklık ettik. Genel olarak bütün konular izleyici sıkmadan küstürmeden kısa sürede çözümlendi, bağlandı. Dizi finali ise üzmedi. Son bölümlerde saçmalayıp, gereksiz final yapma çabasına girmedi. Tatlı tatlı, olması gerektiği dozda ve sakinlikte tamamladılar. Efsane bir final olduğunu söyleyemem ama kesinlikle normal bir finaldi.

Diziye bir şans verebilirsiniz.

Shin Ha-ri (Business Proposal, her family is refreshingly normal, right down to her brother being sent out to find her when she's drunk) Oh Han-byeol (Sh**ting Stars, Again, we know almost nothing about her family, only that she has twin sisters. But she doesn't appear to have childhood trauma.) Park Yeon-woo (The Story of Park's Marriage Contract, her mom being annoyed at her for something that is a crime doesn't count as bad parenting) Lee Young-joon/Sung-hyun (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, his trauma comes from a kidnapper, his parents faced a pretty impossible situation and did their best. They clearly love their kids) Baek Hyun-woo (Queen of Tears, nothing wrong with them out of the ordinary and they are in the drama a significant amount.) Ha Eun-gyeol (Twinkling Watermelon, very loving parents and the deafness and their reliance on him is not anyone's fault)

*Counting her as an orphan even though she gets her parents back after 20 years, she spent her childhood orphaned. ***This character is tricky because I understand why her mother wanted nothing to do with her, but her trying to manipulate the dad and also saying he didn't raise her properly made me so angry. Uncatagorized due to lack of clarity on parents: Soundtrack #1, Hospital Playlist, Happiness

Everything I watch in Jan 2024

I was going to post my annual everything I watched in 2023 post but I feel like I missed my opportunity, so here is my everything I watched in January 2024... (Be Warned there are some spoilers, I do try to mark them throughout the review)

My Lovely Boxer (2023, Kim Min-joo)

Main leads: Lee Sang-yeob, Kim So-hye, Park Ji-hwan, Kim Hyung-mook, Kim Jin-woo, Ha Seung-ri, Chae Won-bin

Country: S. Korea

Run: August 21 to Oct 2, 2023 (KBS2, Monday and Tuesday @21:45 (KST))

Episodes: 12, 70 min

Thoughts: Lee Kwon-sook (Kim So-hye) is a boxer who is forcibly thrown back into the world boxing that she has retired from by a sports agent Kim Tae-young (Lee Sang-yeob). I really liked how they balanced the characters. Lee Kwon-sook is a cheerful girl who is constantly haunted by her past. And she is allowed agency to do what she can do, despite the efforts of others. And the relationship between Lee Kwon-sook and Kim Tae-young, though slightly toxic, works in an odd way. I did have problems with how they reconnected her with her father.I personally wouldn’t have forgiven him. However, I loved the relationship with Han Ah-reum, and just how that story ends. I thought it was done very well. Overall I have really enjoyed this drama. Rating: 

Unlock My Boss (2022-2023, Kim Hyung-min)

Main leads: Chae Jong-hyeop, Seo Eun-soo, Park Sung-woong

Country: S. Korea

Run: Dec 7, 2022 to Jan 12, 2023 (ENA, Wednesday and Thursday @21:00 (KST))

Episodes: 12, 60 min

Thoughts: Oh wow, this is more enjoyable than I imagined. Chase Jong-hyeop as Park In-seong is so fun. He is adorable, down to earth but capable. Jun Se-yeon (Seo Eun-soo) was amazing and I loved her complexities as a character. And the trio of Kim Seon-joo (Park Sung-woong), Park In-seong, and Jun Se-yeon, was so fun and I loved the little family they formed. I literally cried so much during this show for no reason. Like the zoom into the phone literally made me sob each time for no reason. Rating: Who knew electronics can have that much range?

Night Has Come (2023, Kang Min-Ji)

Main leads: Lee Jae-In, Kim Woo-Seok, Choi Ye-Bin, Cha Woo-Min, Ahn Ji-Ho, Jung So-Ri

Country: S. Korea

Run: Dec 4,, 2023 ( U+mobiletv)

Episodes: 12, 35 to 40 min

Thoughts: This started off really good. A class gets thrust into a mafia game to the death. You along with the characters are wondering who is the mafia among the students and who is forcing this game. It is really interesting, but the episodes follow the same pattern. The end you find everything out, and it's kind of stupied. They had a classmate who committed sucide due to a badly edited image of herself on a skimply clad woman’s body. Which is yeah bad. Then her parents take revenge on the whole class. They are placed in this mafia simulator to repeat the game over and over again. It ends with Lee Yoon-seo able to remember everything, but still trapped in the simulator. Like where their parents are. People must be concerned right. Rating: Sisphyus boulder, I guess…

The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract (2023-2024, Go Nam-jeong)

Main leads: Lee Se-young, Bae In-hyuk, Joo Hyun-young, Yoo Seon-ho, Jo Bok-rae

Country: S. Korea

Run: Nov 24, 2023 to Jan 6, 2024 (MBC TV Friday and Saturday @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 12, 70 min

Thoughts: This was a cute drama. It starts off with a cute romance between a progressive woman in Joseon and a sick scholar. However, it quickly becomes a tragedy and she is sent to the year 2023 with her hand maid Sa-wol (Joo Hyun-young). It quickly becomes a fish out of water for Park Yeon-woo (Lee Se-young), but luckly she meets the recacrante of her late husband Kang Tae-ha (Bae In-hyuk) and they make a deal. It is a cute drama and I loved the cast of characters. Yeon-woo is easy to root for. Sa-wol is adorable, and adapts quickly. Kang Tae-ha is prickly but has a heart of gold. It's dramatic and fun. It's nothing special, but oh is it so good. My favorite part is Yeon-woo and Sa-wol’s relationship. Literally there is a scene with those two that reflects a romantic scene in Perfect Marriage Revenage (2023) which I can’t stop thinking about. Overall I just really enjoyed my time. Rating: butterflies everytime I think about you…

Joseon Attorney: A Morality (2023,Choi Jin-young)

Main leads: Woo Do-hwan, Bona, Cha Hak-yeon

Country: S. Korea

Run: March 31 to May 5, 2023 (MBC TV Friday and Saturday @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts:  This was a lot like Taxi Driver. In the way you have an episodic feel with a charismatic male lead seeking revenge and helping people. I had a lot of fun with this show, and I don’t use the comparison lightly either. I really had fun with it. The romance was okay, but I liked the different stories, and the main revenge plot was easy to follow along with. Woo Do-hwan is a great actor and meant to be a leading man. It's definitely  not my favorite and there are a few things that needed changing but it was fun overall! Rating: Who do you call?... Joseon Attorney!!!

KBS Drama Special 14 (2023, Choi Ja-won, Yun Tae-woo, Cho Il-yeon, Choi Yi-kyung, Wi Jae-hwa, Kwon Oh-joo,Park Eun-seo, Jo Soo-yeong, Kim Ik-hyun)

Main leads: Lee Jae-won, Choi Seong-won, and Kim Kang-hyeon,  Kim Won-hae, Min Ji-ah, Ahn Se-bin and Park Ji-ah, Lee Min-jae, Kim Hyun-soo, and Kang Na-eon,  Moon Woo-jin, Park Seo-kyung, Park Ha-sun, Kim Joo-heon, Kim Do-hoon, Chae Won-bin, Kim Dong-hwi, Jo A-ram, Shim Yi-young, Joo Seok-tae,  Ren, Park Sang-nam, Hong Seung-hee, Hahm Eun-jung,  Kim Kang-min, Yoon San-ha, Baek Sung-hyun

Country: S. Korea

Run: OCT 14 to Dec 16, 2023 (KBS, Saturday 21:50 to 22:50 (KST))

Episodes: 10, 60 to 80 min

Thoughts: This is a yearly anthogolgy series that follows various characters in various time periods with various goals. I thought a lot of them were really cool and interesting. “Love Attack” was by far one of my favorites, but I also really liked “The True Love of Madam” which was shocking for me.  It was also hard to find any subs for “Overlap, Knife, Knife” so I had to rely on visual cues and the small amount of Korean I know. But I thought this was a fun anthrologie series, and the stories are fun and fresh. Rating: I love getting short and quick stories like this, its the reason I love short films so much.

A Good Day to Be a Dog (2023-2024, Baek In-ah)

Main leads: Park Gyu-young, Cha Eun-woo, Lee Hyun-woo

Country: S. Korea

Run: Oct 11, 2023 to Jan 10, 2024 (MBC, Wednesday 21:00 (KST))

Episodes: 14, 70 min

Thoughts: Apparently it is very different from the webtoon ( which I have never read), but I found it entertaining. It is cute and lighthearted. I always like when its past lives, I think it adds a fun element to romances. Though I do think the schedule of the show hindered my enjoyment, because it would be so long between episodes. They also lost me at the end, I can not lie. Rating/Spoiler: Also I would be so angery if I found out my family curse passed down for generations was over a misunderstanding. I would want an apology, reparations, and revenge. On another note, I would also be so pissed if I killed myself to save my servant's baby; then my boyfriend finished off the dying father, then cursed the child and its offspring. I would be pissed, like my scarfice was for not. Go off mountain spirit I guess…

My 20th Twenty (2023, N/A)

Main leads: Choi Yu Ju , Jung Su Bin

Country: S. Korea

Run: April 21 to may 27, 2023 (Wavve, Friday and Saturday)

Episodes: 12, 15 min

Thoughts: This show was good for what it was. It has the vibe of a college student film with a mix of those youtube series made by middle schoolers back in 2009. And I mean that with the highest praise. The sound mixing was off, they had limited cast (background actors is what you are looking for), no interesting lighting (but very well light- i.e the student film vibes), and the actors new to the scene. I loved every motherfucking moment. It was so cheesy, the script was bad, and nothing made sense. But I knew that it was made with passion. Rating: It would be horrifying being 20 forever

Taxi Driver Season 2 (2023, Oh Sang-ho)

Main leads: Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin, Jang Hyuk-jin, Bae Yoo-ram, Shin Jae-ha

Country: S. Korea

Run: Feb 17 to April 15, 2023 (SBS, TV Friday and Saturday @22:00 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: Back in action the second season is so much fun and entertaining. I actually like it better than the first. And I said this once and I’ll say it again Lee Je-hoon is made to be an action star. He’s as great as Kim Do-gi. I also liked that Ahn Go-eun (Pyo Ye-jin)  had a larger role this season. I also just love the friendship in the Rainbow Taxi service. Just so fun. Rating: imagine being taken down by a taxi service…

Taxi Driver Special (2023, SBS)

Main leads:  Lee Je-hoon, Kim Eui-sung, Pyo Ye-jin, Jang Hyuk-jin, Bae Yoo-ram, Shin Jae-ha

Country: S. Korea

Run: Feb 16 to March 4, 2023 ( KBS)

Episodes: 2, 60 -120 min

Thoughts: This was fun seeing the cast reflect on the episodes and their characters. Its also cool just seeing a reply of everything that happened. You could tell how much Lee Je-hoon loves playing Kim Do-gi. Rating: I am excited for the 3rd season…

Brain Works (2023, Park Kyung-seon)

Main leads: Jung Yong-hwa, Cha Tae-hyun, Kwak Sun-young, Ye Ji-won

Country: S. Korea

Run: Jan 2 to Fe 28, 2023 (KBS2 Monday and Tuesday @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 75 min

Thoughts:This show is weird. I think most cop shows are weird but this one especially. I did like the bromance in this, between Shin Ha-ru (Jung Yong-hwa) and Geum Myung-se (Ch Tae-hyun). I did think neuroscience was weird and defies logic. The only good thing about it was when they didn’t completely vilify Pyschopaths, because it tends to be more complicated than the mainstream likes to show. It still left a lot to be desired but it was there. Also when he lowkey kidnapped and torture that kid, oh my god, like he was a little punk and deserved to go to trail but my god. Rating: This is lowkey giving Minority Report tbh…

My Cuteness is about to expire!? (2022,  Tanabe Shigenori)

Main leads: Yamada Ryosuke, Yoshine Kyoko 

Country: Japan 

Run: April 16 to June 11, 2022 (TV Asahi, Saturday 23:30)

Episodes: 9, 23 to 47 min

Thoughts: Maruya is your typical male narcissist who works in sales. He uses his cuteness to stake by in life, to make up for his average skills. One day he is visited by his future self, whom he deems ugly, tells him that his cuteness is going to expire. He decides, after relizing his crush, the only way to prevent this is to date Sanada, a robotic newbie to the sales team. It is cute and Maruya and Sanada are fun as a couple, plus if you have the time you could watch this in a day. Rating: I’m Ichinose calling every single person every 10 seconds sobbing…

My Dearest Pt 1 (2023, Hwang Jin-young)

Main leads: Namkoong Min, Ahn Eun-jin, Lee Hak-joo, Lee Da-in, Kim Yoon-woo, Lee Chung-ah

Country: S. Korea

Run: August 4 to Sept 2, 2023 (MBC TV, Friday and Saturday 21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 10, 60 to 90 min

Thoughts:  I was not expecting to like this more than I did. The angst in every episode is so insane. Episode 10 was actually unbearable. I also want to take a moment and appreciate Yoo Gil-chae (Ahn Eun-jin), she is such a complicated  character. She would do anything for her friends, she is willing to do the things that no other women (noble) are willing to do even during times of war. She will stab the man assualting her friend and cover it up. She would cut the amicable cord, she would stab the mother’s hand. She isn’t pure of heart, she neveer claimed to be. I love her so much. And her relationship with Lee Jang-hyun. The ending of episode 10. I was sobbing. Rating: I am trying to hype myself up to watch the next 11 episodes, people had to wait inbetween…

The Escape of the Seven (2023, Kim Soon-ok)

Main leads: Um Ki-joon, Hwang Jung-eum, Lee Joon, Lee Yu-bi, Shin Eun-kyung, Yoon Jong-hoon, Jo Yoon-hee, Jo Jae-yoon

Country: S. Korea

Run: Sept 15 to Nov 17, 2023 (SBS TV Friday and Saturday 22:00 (KST))

Episodes: 17, 70 to 80 min

Thoughts: This was an insane ride. Literally no one in this likeable except for a few, like I didn’t think Min Do-hyuk (Lee Joon) was as bad as the others but oh lordy. It is so melodramatic, which took me off graud for some reason. Going into it I thought it was going to be a serious thriller, but oh boy was I wrong. It was Makjang. Which is fine, and also coming back in style apparently. I’m sat for season 2, but not with much hope.

My Demon (2023-2024, Choi Ah-il)

Main leads: Kim Yoo-jung, Song Kang, Lee Sang-yi, Kim Hae-sook

Country: S. Korea

Run: Nov 24, 2023 to Jan 20, 2024 (SBS TV,  Friday and Saturday @22:00 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: I was excited for this drama. I really liked Doom at Your Service which promised to have a similar vibe. Which it did to an extent. I actually hate Song Kang in romances and only really like him in nonromance shows. However I think he did really well as Jeong Gu-won. I liked the overall Romance in the show. But I did think the revenge plot got uninteresting and confusing after a while. I do like the ending, I was pretty satisfied with where everyone ended up, which has been a long time since I’ve been this satisfied. 

Welcome to Samdal-ri (2023-2024, Kwon Hye-joo)

Main leads: Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hye-sun

Country: S. Korea

Run: Dec 2, 2023 ti Jan 21, 2024 (JTBC, Saturday and Sunday 22:30 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: This was cute and was far above my expectations. I am always uneasy with Ji Chang Wook, I can’t forgive him for the Melting My Heart drama a few years back, but I would do anything for Shin Hye-sun. So I gave this drama a go, and I liked it. I loved the vibes, and I didn’t mind that revenge wasn’t the main plot. It's like the one line “my enemies will take themselves out before you get a chance to swing.” It was heartwarming and I’m glad that Cho Sam-dal was able to find peace in her hometown. I loved the feel of community. I loved all the Friendships. It was very lovely. And I’m happy at the ending. I will also give my entire heart to Cho Hae-dal and Cha Ha-yul. I loved their mother-daughter relationship. I wanted more screen time for both. Rating: I’m glad there is a little piece of heaven…

 Game of Witches ( 2022-2023, Lee Do-Hyun)

Main leads: Jang Seo-Hee, Kim Kyu-Seon, Lee Hyun-Seok, Oh Chang-Suk. Han Ji-Wan, Ban Hyo-Jung

Country: S. Korea

Run: Oct 11, 2022 to April 14, 2023 (MBC, Monday to Friday 19:15 (KST))

Episodes: 119, 25 to 28 min

Thoughts: *Major Spoilers+ Rant ahead.* This show makes me unneccsarly angery. It is a daily drama and a Makjang to boot, so literally put any and all expectations in the gutter. Everything is nonsensical, and drawn out to reach the 119 mark. Storylines get dropped or move way too fast. It has a strange family tree and for a moment every single person was supposbly related. They have so much evidence agsaint the scheming Kang Ji-ho (Oh Chang-suk) and Joo Se-young (Han Ji-wan) but it goes nowhere. Speaking of Kang Ji-ho, he was just straight up dispicable. I would say more than Se-ypung of Ma Hyun-Deok (Ban Hyo-Jung). He was a terrible partner and father from the start. He literally tossed his entire family out the door for Se-young and eventual power. He only paid attention to his daughter Kang Han-Byeol (Kwon Dan-A) when she was able to benefit him. He was at best neglectful and at worst abusive towards her. Han-byeol was the true victim. Hye-soo (Kim Kyu-Seon) actually had a motive in the beginning. She was just pathetic and weak but once she returned they weirdly sidelined her. Also I don’t know why Kang Ji-ho never got prosecuted for trying to kill Hye-soo. Like I find that to be one of his more egregious crimes. Like that is the mother of your child. You gave your child so much trauma, for what? Power? Like when they tried to redeem him at the end I was just fed up. You can’t make hime out to be the big bad guy for 118 episodes, and then have him do one good thing. He is a bad father, and when Han Byeol grows up she will resent him. Rating: Fuck this show, like actually.

 My Dearest Part 2(2023, Hwang Jin-young)

Main leads: Namkoong Min, Ahn Eun-jin, Lee Hak-joo, Lee Da-in, Kim Yoon-woo, Lee Chung-ah

Country: S. Korea

Run: Oct 13 to Nov 18, 2023 (MBC TV, Friday and Saturday 21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 11, 60 to 90 min

Thoughts: More devastating than the first part. Gil-chae is probably my favorite character I have watched. Her journey in this part is absolutely devastating but she survives. I enjoyed the refutement from blame, that people who experienced the worst horrors known are somehow blamed. Gil Chae pushes back on this sentiment herself. This entire time I just wanted Jang-hyun and Gil Chea together. Which took the entire part for them to finally be happy. I do think the ending was kind of wobbly, and they only really needed 10  episodes not the 11. But who am I to say? Anyways I enjoyed the show overall. Rating: My Dear Husband… 

Kokdu: Season of Diety (2023, Kang Yi-heon, Heo Jun-woo)

Main leads: Kim Jung-hyun, Im Soo-hyang, Kim Da-som, Ahn Woo-yeon, Kim In-kwon, Cha Chung-hwa

Country: S. Korea

Run: Jan 27 to March 24, 2023 (MBC TV Fridays and Saturdays @21:50 (KST))

Episodes: 16, 70 min

Thoughts: You must be wondering why did you watch this? It only has bad reviews- which is a lie, it is actually a polarizing show. And I can understand. If you go into this show with the lowest expectations imaginable and it might be fun. The scenery is pretty and they make decent use of it. Main Romance is actually not good, I felt no chemistry between Kim Jung-Hyun and Im Soo-hyang. I did like the romance between Tae Jeong-won (Kim Da-som) and Han Cheol (Ahn Woo-yeon) other than that The show overall fell flat. I did like the scenery and the setting. I thought it was fun. Also episode 16 was the most enjoyable episode, which is good for an ending. Rating: I would skip…

Mouse (2021) Ep. 9 Recap

Ba-Reum uncovers a shocking story behind his brain surgery from a year ago. Unwanted memories persistently torment him. Detective Go is outraged by Han Seo-Joon's comment about finding peace and being saved after accepting Christ, and takes matters into his own hands by killing him.

If you want to watch the series for yourself, stop reading! This post contains spoilers to the storyline.

Han Seo-Joon felt at hom ein his surgical gown on the day of Ba-Reum's operation. He transplanted a portion of Yo-Han's brain into Ba-Reum, mentally reassuring his son that he'd be able to live on this way.

Ba-Reum scrolls through Head Hunter headlines once Bong-Yi confirms that Seo-Joon was the surgeon. An article discusses victim Song Soo-Jung's pinky finger, which had a hole punched through the nail and F25.17S.ex tattooed on the side. Ba-Reum compares the marks on all of Seo-joon's victims. The hole in the pinky finger reminds him of the mouse from Seo-Joon's cell, which had a hole in its ear. In the scientific world, this indicates that testing on the subject is complete.

Ba-Reum deduces from this information that Soo-Jung's tattoo indicated that she was 25-year-old female and the 17th experimental subject. He is horrified and disgusted to realize that Seo-Joon identified his victims by their pinkies instead of their ears because he decapitated them all. The memory of the older girl stepping on the mouse resurfaces, causing pain to shoot through his head.

She warned him that if he let the mouse live, he would end up like the snake, as there was a bad brain inside the mouse.

Ba-Reum inquired about his heightened sense of smell, and Doctor Park explained that it could only occur if the frontal lobe was replaced since the olfactory bulb is located there. Additionally, Moo-Chi noticed that Ba-Reum appears different than before. As a result, Ba-Reum now understands why he possesses Yo-Han's memories.

The officer confronts Seo-Joon at the prison and demands to know if he transplanted Yo-Han's brain into his own head. Seo-Joon smirks and reesponds, "You found out sooner than expected. How boring." He is proud of his murders and experiments, having harvested his victims' brains while they were still fresh. Everything went well until he met "that kid" and got caught. Seo-Joon considers his victims' lives as the cost of saving humankind. Seo-Joon reminds Ba-Reum that he wouldn't be alive today without their sacrifice, which makes Ba-Reum angry.

Detective Kang becomes emotional when he sees Moo-Chi being taken away in handcuffs. He takes Hong-Joo aside when she rushes to the station after hearing about the arrest. Kang explains that Moo-Chi pushed her away because of his plan to kill a criminal and get closer to Seo-Joon. He didn't want to involve Hong-Joo in his criminal activities. During a stakeout, Detective Kang found a set of rings that Moo-Chi intended to use to propse to Hong-Joo. He planned to do it the next day. He was nervous, and his heart was pounding. They watched her documentary called "Forgiveness", where Moo-Won forgave Seo-Joon for his crimes. Moo-Chi's face hardened as he saw the Head Hunter giving an interview. Han Seo-Joon claimed to pray every day and sleep well recently. This triggered Moo-Chi, who still had nightmares and felt like he was in a living hell.

Moo-Chi decided to kill Seo-Joon himself since the country refuses to execute him. When the target of his stakeout appeared, Moo-Chi chased after him, missing Moo-Won's appearance on the show. Moo-Won filed a petition to free Seo-Joon from the death penalty as an act of forgiveness. This made Moo-Chi angry. Moo-Chi apprehended the criminal (the one who later jumped to his own death), but released him and fired shots at him instead. Detective Kang restrained him, but Moo-Chi threatened to kill him if he ever interfered again.

Later that night, Detective Kang drank heavily with Team Leader Bok and Detective Park, upset that Moo-Chi was not fired and instead assigned to the Evidence Storage Team. Drunkenly, he asked Detective Park if he had intentionally taken in Moo-Chi to seek revenge on his behalf. The atmosphere was somber throughout the night.

Thirty years ago, Han Seo-Joon worked at Cambridge University Hospital in England. He discovered that a cleaner was giving a patient with CP (Cerebral Palsy, a disorder caused by damage to the part of the brain that controls movement) a dopamine supplement pill. When a doctor confronted Seo-Joon about his patient Emma, who supposedly died due to a medical accident, they suspected that Seo-Joon killed her and he was being investigated by Dr. Gary. The doctor warned that they would soon reveal Seo-Joon's true self.

Seo-Joon wheeled the patient with cerebral palsy into a room full of doctors. He claimed that Dr. Gary had misdiagnosed her fifteen years ago, and she had been stuck in her wheelchair since then. To everyone's disbelief, the patient shakily stood up without assistance.

It turned out that she actually had Segawa Syndrome, a rare disease caused by a lack of dopamine. Seo-Joon noticed that this patient did not exhibit symptoms typical of cerebral palsy and prescribed dopamine supplements to replenish the deficiency. He credited Daniel Lee, the cleaner of her ward, for figuring it all out.

Seo-Joon discovered that the cleaner who gave the patient the pill was spoken to by Daniel, who was discussing his research on genetic chemical structures with his sister Jennifer, who also suffered from Segawa Syndrome. Dr. Gary resigned and Seo-Joon was cleared of any wrongdoing in Emma's death. Daniel thanked Seo-Joon for inviting him to join a genetic research team and giving him the opportunity to attend school. To show his gratitude, Daniel gave Seo-Joon a bag of mice for research purposes.

Ba-Reum follows Seo-Joon's directions and arrives at his lab. In the past, Seo-Joon conducted experiments on mice to eradicate immunorejection of a brain transplant. He believed that altering someone's brain could change their life, like a god.

Daniel shared his dream of researching "good" genes to create a utopia without war. Seo-Joon suggested isolating a "bad" gene found in criminals to prevent crime. Daniel agreed and pursued this route.

Seo-Joon, who had killed his girlfriend Jennirfer, returned to Korea and became the country's top neurosurgeon. The world's excitement over Daniel's discovery of the psychopath gene reminded Seo-Joon of his original goal. The doctor regretted convincing Daniel to dedicate his life to researching the psychopath gene. He believed that this research invaded his "realm of God". Soon, Seo-Joon became dissatisfied with animal testing and needed a human brain to work with. He lured a homeless man with the promise of food, who became his first victim.

Ba-Reum enters the dusty lab and carefully picks up a child's hair bobble with a handkerchief. He pulls back a curtain and gags at the sight of brains preserved in jars. He backs up and accidentally knocks over a bucket of skulls before quickly running towards the exit. When he looks back, he sees Seo-Joon performing brain extractions on the operating table.

Ba-Reum stops at Seo-Joon's old place, now labeled as a killer's house with red paint. Seo-Joon had informed Ba-Reum that he was close to perfecting the brain transplant procedure and that his child was about to be born. However, he received a call from Daniel, who was returning to Korea. In Seo-Joon's view, the former cleaner was just a pawn in his plan, and he refused to relinquish the "divine realm" he dreamed of to someone with "inferior" genes. During dinner with Daniel, Seo-Joon became anxious to perform a final experiment. Moo-Chi's family asked for directions to the campsite, and Seo-Joon noticed a family of three in his rearview mirror - just what he needed.

Ba-Reum goes to the campsite and imagines the events of that night. He winces at the imagery of Moo-Chi's parents being brutally murdered. Seo-Joon killed twenty people that year without making a single mistake. However, by failing to account Moo-Chi, everything fell apart.

Moo-Chi is in jail, anticipating the showdown with Han Seo-Joon and thinking about his family. A guard informs Seo-Joon about Moo-Chi's arrest, and the convict chuckles, "You actually did it, kid. It is important to keep your neck clean." During the visitation, Ba-Reum asked Seo-Joon how he performed the operation while sitting in jail on death row. Seo-Joon cryptically replied that an important guest came to visit the day after Ba-Reum's accident.

Ba-Reum demanded to speak to the President's Chief of Staff but was stopped by her guards. When Chief Choi arrived, Ba-Reum skipped the small talk and blatantly said, "You should have something to say to me." Chief Choi brought him inside to meet with a doctor who confirmed that they had grafted Yo-Han's frontal lobe onto him. Chief Choi had received a tape that showed Seo-Joon performing a brain transplant. Desperate to save Ba-Reum (because the entire nation was watching), she asked him to attempt the procedure. Trying couldn't hurt since Ba-Reum was as good as dead otherwise. Seo-Joon wanted to be pardoned for his crimes in return because his talents were being wasted being behind bars. Fortunately, Chief Choi did not agree to it. When Seo-Joon got up to leave, the chief begged him on her knees to save Ba-Reum - it would be Seo-Joon's one chance at atonement.

Ba-Reum is understandably angry because he doesn't understand why they had to use Yo-Han's brain specifically. Unfortunately, they encountered complications with the brain they had planned to use. When Yo-Han suddenly died, Han Seo-Joon gave his consent as Yo-Han's biological father. It's evident that they committed this crime to maintain their power. If Ba-Reum had died, it would have impacted the presidential election. He leaves without saying anything else, but they know their secret is safe. He wouldn't want to reveal to the world that a killer's brain lives within him. Chief Choi wonders why Han Seo-Joon changed his mind about the surgery after saying he had nothing to regret. Han Seo-Joon merely considered himself a lion hunting rats.

Hong-Joo shakes off the thought that Ba-Reum has caught onto anything. She wonders why he needed to see Han Seo-Joon's interview. Glancing at an image of the serial killer, Hong-Joo thinks, "I should have killed him back then." During her ten-minute interview with Seo-Joon for her documentary, Hong-Joo clutched a fountain pen tightly. However, she fled the room in tears when flashes of her childhood came back to haunt her.

Seo-Joon listens to classical music in his cell and ponders who sent Chief Choi the tape anonymously. He reflects on the interview and concludes that Hong-Joo is Detective Park's daughter and must have intended to kill him by filming the documentary, but Moo-Won died instead.

Ba-Reum arrives home after a long and tiring day to find Bong-Yi waiting for him. He apologizes for forgetting their movie plans, but she is more worried about Moo-Chi's arrest. Ba-Reum calls Hong-Joo to confirm the news and discovers that Moo-Chi confessed to the crime. However, Hong-Joo notes that it is strange that he used a scalpel instead of his gun. Ba-Reum and the other person inspect Jae-Pil's body. Ba-Reum notices that Jae-Pil did not defend himself base on his hands The depth of the wounds suggests that the attacker was extremely angry. The attacker kept stabbing even after Jae-Pil was dead. Moo-Chi's intention was to get arrested, so he would have aimed for a vital spot to achieve this.

The hospital's CCTV footage was reviewed, and a visitor holding something shiny caught their attention. Hong-Joo was surprised to discover that the visitor was Detective Park's wife. Ba-Reum watched another clip and identified the culprit before leaving to investigate.

Hong-Joo arrived at Detective Park's residence to find Ba-Reum already there. The detective requested that Ba-Reum not arrest him to avoid scaring his wife, as he was already on his way to confess. Ba-Reum asks where his daughter was buried.

Moo-Chi is released, and Team Leader Bok informs him that Ba-Reum is on his way to meet Detective Park and catch the real criminal. Moo-Chi is bewildered and asks how Ba-Reum knew that the detective's wife killed Jae-Pil, but the rest of the team is confused.

Detective Park take Ba-Reum to his daughter's grave. There, they find Jung Man-Ho, the volunteer who was questioned for being in Hong Na-Ri's neighbourhood, crying and about to poison himself. Detective Park knocks the poison out of his hand. The man sobs and reveals that the girl beneath this grave is actually his daughter.

While reviewing the CCTV footage, Ba-Reum had seen Man-Ho bumping into Detective Park's wife and picking up the scalpel she dropped. Ba-Reum checked the evidence from Hyun-Soo's case and discovered that the DNA test was done on their hair bobble found with the remains. It matched the one he found at Seo-Joon's lab. He wracked his brain to figure out the connection between Jae-Pil admitting that he killed Hyun-Soo and his best friend Man-Ho killing him out of anger. He remembered that Man-Ho mentioned a daughter that he didn't have when they conducted the interviews at the volunteer center. Ba-Reum researched and found out that Man-Ho was a single father. In 1994, his daughter Soo-Jin went missing.

After Jae-Pil was arrested, Man-Ho went to his place to see what was happening. The police were securing evidence, and among the items strewn about the lawn, Man-Ho noticed a rabbit charm hanging from a knife. It was identical to a charm that Soo-Jin used to wear around her neck. Man-Ho confronted Jae-Pil, not wanting to believe that his friend killed Soo-Jin. After all, Jae-Pil worked hard handing out missing persons flyers. Years ago, the former detective intentionally placed Hyun-Soo's hair tie with Soo-Jin's body. He has been struggling with guilt ever since and apologized to Man-Ho.

Man-Ho repeatedly stabbed Jae-Pil without realizing what he was doing. He dropped the weapon and ran away when Detective Park's wife walked in and picked up the bloody scalpel. In the present, Man-Ho is arrested, and another DNA test will determine whether the corpse belonged to Hyun-Soo or Soo-Jin.

Ba-Reum concealed the fact that he discovered the true culprit due to the hair bobble and instead claimed it was because of the CCTV. He did not want to reveal where he found the hair tie, as he did not want to disclose that he now possesses a part of Yo-Han's brain. Hong-Joo expressed gratitude for catching the criminal, but Ba-Reum was certain that Moo-Chi would resent him.

A fight broke out at the prison when an inmate urged a gangster not to harass their cellmate, Mr. Kim. Without hesitation, Mr. Kim threw himself between the two as the gangster moved in to attack. The prison guards watched and stepped in to break up the fight.

Later that night, Ba-Reum thought about his interaction with Hong-Joo earlier and wondered if Dong-Goo was wrong about Ba-Reum not having a crush on her. Ba-Reum's friend arrived at his place drunk and bloody from the prison fight. Dong-Goo explains that Mr. Kim was unfairly jailed for committing a crime while trying to catch the man who assaulted his daughter. He protected the other inmate without hesitation, while Dong-Goo was too scsared to move. Dong-Goo feels bad about it and muses that Chi-Kook would have acted.

The forensics team excavates the grave to obtain DNA directly from the buried remains. At a restaurant, Hong-Joo discovers Moo-Chi surrounded by empty bottles of soju and apologizes when he asks why she pretended not to know who Han Seo-Joon's son was. He tells her, "If you cared even the slightest bit about me, you wouldn't have dated that muderer's child." Hong-Joo lowers her gaze and can only say sorry. Moo-Chi demands to know why she had to date Yo-Han. She answers that she was drawn to him because they were quite similar. Moo-Chi snarls, "How are you similar? Did you kill people like that bastard?" He angrily tells Hong-Joo to get lost.

During Hong-Joo's report on Ba-Reum and Chi-Kook's heroic story, she visited Yo-Han at the hospital upon learning that he was the Head Hunter's son. Hong-Joo found him on the ledge, about to jump out of the window, but she managed to pull him back. She scolded him, reminding him that the families of his father's victims were suffering more than he was and that he should prove himself to be different from Seo-Joon. Years later, they met again when Yo-Han treated Hong-Joo as a doctor at the hospital. Hong-Joo recognized him, but he showed no reaction. Hong-Joo said, "You don't even recognize the person who saved your life. That's quite upsetting," while hiding a small smile. In the present, Hong-Joo returns home and tends to a baby. She decided not to go through with her abortion after all.

Ba-Reum resumes his duties at the Pyeongan Precinct. While on duty, two women report a concerning neighbor. Officer Nam does not offer many helpful solutions and only promises to patrol the area more. He shakes Ba-Reum to back him up, causing him to drop his notepad. Ba-Reum freezes and runs to the restroom while clutching his illustration. The illustration depicts a person hanging on a noose and another lying on the ground with a knife protruding from their chest. He was shocked and ripped up the gruesome artwork, flushing it down the toilet.

Bong-Yi visited the station with dinner and learned that Ba-Reum had left early due to feeling unwell. Ba-Reum found a note from his aunt and a photo of himself from kindergarten, proving that he was not the boy with the mouse. It was Yo-Han's memory.

The thought of young Yo-Han's interaction with the older girl who killed the mouse and claimed it had a bad brain gives him a migraine. Despite Ba-Reum telling the pregnant stray cat to be quiet, it keeps meowing. He attempts to strangle the animal but is interrupted by someone at his door. A drunken Moo-Chi blames Ba-Reum for catching the killer, adding to Ba-Reum's annoyance. The officer snaps, "How much longer are you going to whine? It's so childish." Ba-Reum squeezed Moo-Chi's neck until he turned purple and repeatedly struck him with an object nearby, blood splattering onto his smiling face.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung’s Characters Find Their Happy Ending

The Disney+ original series ‘Moving’ has come to an end with its 20th episode, delivering a satisfying conclusion for the characters and the viewers. The superhero action drama, based on the webtoon by Kang Full, starred Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung, Cha Tae Hyun, and other talented actors as people with hidden superpowers who fight against dark forces.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: The Final Battle

(Photo : Disney+) The finale episode began with a tense showdown between Lee Mi Hyun (Han Hyo Joo) and Jung Joon Hwa (Yang Dong Geun), a North Korean soldier who also has the ability to fly. Mi Hyun was in danger of being killed by Joon Hwa, but her son Kim Bong Seok (Lee Jung Ha) came to her rescue and fought against him. However, Mi Hyun wanted Bong Seok to run away, knowing that the North Korean troop leader Kim Deok Yoon (Park Hee Soon) was aiming a gun at him. Fortunately, Bong Seok was saved by Jeon Gye Do (Cha Tae Hyun), who used his electromagnetic power to kill Joon Hwa. Deok Yoon then tried to escape with the files that contained the secrets of the superpowered people, but he was chased by Jang Joo Won (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Lee Jae Man (Kim Sung Kyun) to the rooftop.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Joo Won and Jae Man confronted Deok Yoon, who revealed that he had been working for Frank (Ryoo Seung Bum), a mysterious man who wanted to use the superpowers for his own agenda. Deok Yoon also confessed that he was the one who killed Jae Man’s father 50 years ago, when he was part of a secret mission to capture the superpowered people. Deok Yoon then tried to jump off the building with the files, but he was stopped by Joo Won, who grabbed his arm. Jae Man then shot Deok Yoon in the chest, causing him to fall. Joo Won managed to hold on to the files and pulled himself up.

The Aftermath

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) A year later, the superpowered people were living normal lives without being hunted by anyone. Jang Hee Soo (Go Youn Jung) and Lee Kang Hoon (Kim Do Hoon) graduated from high school with their parents’ attendance, except for Bong Seok and Mi Hyun, who had gone into hiding since the incident. Joo Won continued his chicken business with Kwon Young Deuk (Park Gwang Jae), a former North Korean soldier who became his assistant. Hee Soo entered the university’s physical education department and became friends with Shin Hye Won (Shim Dal Gi), a girl who had super speed. Kang Hoon visited Mr. Min (Moon Sung Geun), the head of the NIS, and expressed his desire to join the agency with one condition: to clear his father’s name from criminal records. Mr. Min agreed and revealed that Kang Hoon’s father was actually a hero who sacrificed himself to protect the superpowered people from Frank.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Kang Hoon also met the school guard and his classmate who disguised themselves as part of Jeonwon High School, but in reality they were high-ranking NIS officials who had been monitoring the superpowered people. Bong Seok and Mi Hyun left town and lived a peaceful life in a rural area. They occasionally received letters from Hee Soo and Kang Hoon, who updated them on their lives. Hee Soo also told them about a superhero wearing a yellow cape who appeared in Seoul and saved people from danger. In the last scene, it was revealed that the superhero was Kim Doo Shik (Zo In Sung), Bong Seok’s father and Mi Hyun’s husband, who had been held captive by Frank for 50 years. He managed to escape with the help of Park Il Chan (Jo Bok Rae), a North Korean soldier who sympathized with him. Doo Shik returned to South Korea and killed Frank, who had been hiding as an American businessman named Mark (Daniel C Kennedy). He then reunited with his family and hugged them tightly.
