FILMS IN 2023: → Too Beautiful to Lie (2004) — dir. Bae Hyeong Jun

[thii-nii]

It was last winter. Don't know whether I was possessed by the moonlight or the snow. I was on the way to my friend's house with a bottle of booze. And a man and a woman were fighting like crazy with some sharp swords. But they also looked like they were dancing. It was like they were making love under the moonlight as well.

how'd rosé and kang dong won feel about the relationship rumors?

How Rose feel about the rumors? (10p rev. - knight wands rev. - emperor rev. - 6w)

it was something unexpected and she feel a little insecure about the reaction it got, she wasn't in control and she didn't like it, but with the 6w it really feels that in a way she was proud of the rumors

How Kang DongWon feel about the rumors? (sun rev. - 5w rev. - justice - 8p rev.)

He wasn't fond of the rumors, it affect him a lot since he was pretty much under attack by fans but he knew it was a consequence of not being careful enough

[outsidereveries]

Rosé get rumors with popular korean actor.(this is her friend)..and yg denied that even if the knetizens and international fans didn't believe than this is only rumors dating..but real couple since there re evidence..maybe s.x friends i guess that .I hope you re not uncomfortable with cringe theory .

I have seen ton tarot readers said or write rosé is playgirl ..but hide well her real personality and image for save herself.

First, Rumor or Truth? Well, I think they're just (good?) friends that help each other with their point of view about different topics. They can know each other from past life(s) that can make one of them influencing the other. Rumor.

I've decided to add two questions - is the evidence real and why there are rumors.

First, about the evidence: There can be some things that were/are his? I do see it's a secret for some reason. They might have similar style in some way and that might be the reason there were rumors? I see the fans who made these rumors were overemotional. I also see some sort of tradition, so whatever the same/similar things were such as necklace/s, a hobby, or another thing is probably Rosé's way of finding herself? Unfortunately, I think Rosé's attaching easily to people and it can shows via her style/hobbies/etc. Their somehow connection AS ACQUINTANCES/FRIENDS just shows it in this way, via Rosé's expression.

About the reason why there were rumors: For publicity. They wanted at least one of them to have buzz and therefore, to win more money (possibly for Rosé). They just wanted Rosé to have this scandal. I can see the people who released it wanted her to make her group disband too, or to ruin Kang Don Won's career?

Golfing Buddies

Back in August I was musing about the BTS-Yim Siwan connection and today what do I find on Twitter but a bunch of people getting really really excited about an Instagram post by Taehyung's dentist (@smiledoctorlee). Yep that's Tae, his dentist, Kang Don Won and the unforgettable Yim Siwan playing a round of golf.

Tae and Siwan are golfing buddies.

Broker

Movies watched in 2023

Broker (2021, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Hirokazu Kore-eda

Mini-review:

God, Hirokazu Kore-eda is seriously one of the masters of modern cinema. His movies are as simple as they are brilliant. He knows how to find beauty in the smallest things, and his films always leave me with a warm feeling, even if they're usually sad and/or melancholic. The characters and societies he portrays in his work always feel so real and genuine. It also helps that he knows how to pick one great cast, as clearly shown here. In fact, this particular cast is so f**king good that I can't even pick an MVP, they really are that good. There's not a single line or facial gesture that doesn't feel natural and real. I had been looking forward to Broker for so long, and it actually ended up being even better than I expected. This is certainly one good way to start the year.

UPRISING

GENRES: Historical, Action

SUMMARY: When you’re born into Joseon slavery, you’ll stop at nothing to find a way out.

THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING: Switches, abhorrent paternity laws, sparring, branding, fog fighting, crow dinners, greed, royal insanity, hunters, rock-throwing, questionable friendships, true friendships, robes, invasions, and loyalty.

HOT TAKE: The plot of this movie was swift and succinct, perhaps to the detriment of its believability. The action scenes were excellent, the cinematography was epic, and the resolution of the third act big-boss fight was one of the best I've seen in a while. Also, some great long-overdue comeuppance for a King that should have just shut the hell up.

That being said, our main characters were a little unmotivated, there were more 'Monty Python-esque' limbs severed than I was expecting, and some real hard choices to be made--ones I'm not sure I would have been strong enough to execute.

Well well well, if it isn’t an homage to Temptation of Wolves umbrella scene 🫢

Is your heart racing? Are you short of breath? Do you feel anything? No. Not at all.
