Family Matters

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Family Matters (2024, South Korea)

Directors: Kim Gok & Kim Sun

Writer: Kim Jung Min

Mini-review:

Started this because of the cast and... that's basically the main reason why I finished it. The last two episodes were really good but, before that, I spent a lot of time just scratching my head. It felt like the show was simply setting things up for what's to come, so it never gave enough information to properly tie its many plot threads, nor did it follow a clear logic. And it was pretty obvious that a lot of stuff was left on the cutting room floor in order to reduce the initial 8-episode order. Furthermore, its sense of humor was very hit-or-miss; sometimes I laughed out loud and others I was like "wtf". Still, the cast is fantastic, and like I said before, I enjoyed the final episodes a lot, so I would probably come back for a second season of Family Matters.

The battle in the basement of the apartment building, where we see Nam-san use a shotgun to blast his way through some of the doctor’s ‘enhanced’ individuals, is a total exhilarating blast. Ma Dong-seok has been a powerhouse for most of his career post Train to Busan, but he sends people flying whenever he throws his fist or pulls the trigger. _Badland Hunters_ also has to break a record for most decapitations in a film. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/bdlndhntr MovieGuys: Badland Hunters does something things well, others just passably. Action is wall to wall and well choreographed.Special effects are excellent. Characterisations are solid if predictable and the acting is not to be sniffed at. However, the story is unremarkable, with a climax that feels, well, anti climatic. In summary, an okay but hardly exceptional watch, that would have benefited from more creativity on the storytelling front. Ritesh Mohapatra: “Badland Hunters: A Visually Striking Action Spectacle with Narrative Shortcomings” In this post-apocalyptic action thriller, Badland Hunters, while suffering from a repetitive and clichéd plot and uninteresting characters, excels in stunning hand-to-hand choreography and scintillating action set pieces. The film benefits greatly from the expertise of its veteran stunt coordinator turned director, known for his work on Train to Busan. Commendable world-building, visionary concepts, and excellent VFX are hindered by conventional writing. The short, crisply edited runtime avoids unnecessary elements. Don Lee’s exceptional portrayal of Nam-san, with exhilarating action sequences, overshadows the film’s narrative weaknesses, making it a guiltily satisfying popcorn-worthy entertainer, particularly for adrenaline enthusiasts.

Korean Air beats Samsung Fire for fifth straight win, jumps to No. 5 in road construction

Korean Air's Han Jung-yong, Lim Dong-hyuk combine for 26 points Korea Express wins 29 points in Burkina Faso

Korean Air extends its winning streak to five games with a sweep of Samsung Fire.

Korean Air swept Samsung Fire 3-0 (25-20 25-19 25-22) in the men's Dodram 2023-2024 V-League at Gyeyang Gymnasium in Incheon on Friday.

Riding a five-game winning streak, Korean Air (6-2, 19 points) pulled within striking distance of first-place Woori Card (7-1, 20 points).

Jeong Jung-yong (14 points) and Lim Dong-hyuk (12 points) led the way. Jung added three blocking points and one service ace. Lim Dong-hyuk had a very high attacking success rate of 60%.

Korean Air's team attack percentage was also high at 57.57%. The defense was also solid from the first set.

Despite losing their second straight match, Samsung Fire (5-3, 14 points) remained in third place.

Samsung Fire's foreign player Yosubani scored 14 points but had an offensive success rate in the low 30s. She also had 12 turnovers.

Korean Air dominated from the start of the game. Led by Jeong Jung-yong, Korean Air scored three straight points with a back-attack by Kwak Seung-seok and a block by Kim Kyu-min to take a 7-4 lead.

Korean Air then took the lead for good at 18-16 with back-to-back kills from Jung Jeong-yong before taking advantage of a Yosubani service error at 24-20 to take the first set.

Samsung Fire lost the first set helplessly due to Jupo Yosubani's poor play.

The second set followed a similar pattern. At 3-2, Cho Jae-young's fastball and Kwak Seung-seok's block made the difference. Korean Air extended its lead with a variety of attacks and widened the gap at 18-13 with a quick opener from Lincoln.

Korean Air pulled away from Samsung Fire late in the second set with kills from Lim Dong-hyuk, Lincoln, and Jung Jeong-yong.

With the victory in hand, Korean Air took the lead early in the third set with a quick offense that included fastballs and quick opens. They went on an 8-3 run and raised their opponents' spirits.

Samsung Fire fought back and tied the score at 14-14 with Yosubani's serve and attack.

Korean Air, however, capitalized on Yosubani's back-to-back errors to widen the gap to 17-14. At 24-22, Korean Air ended the match with another service error.

Samsung Fire self-destructed with 26 errors, 10 more than Korean Air.

Meanwhile, Korean Air surpassed 32,000 set wins for the first time in its history.

The women's team won 3-1 (25-23 25-22 18-25 26-24) against Pepper Savings Bank at the Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium.

Foreign player Vukiric led the way with 29 points, while Tanacha and Jeon Sae-yan contributed 16 and 10 points, respectively.

The win snapped a two-game losing streak for DOT (2W-6D-9P), which moved up to fifth place, pushing IBK (3W-5D-8P) to sixth, and also avenged a first-round loss to Pepper Savings Bank.

Trailing 23-24 in the fourth set, the road construction company made a deuce with a timed attack by Bae Yuna, then ended the match with a service ace by Jeon Sae-yan and an open attack by Tanacha.

Pepper Savings Bank (2-6, 5-5) remained at the bottom of the standings.

Pepper Savings Bank's foreign players Yasmin (29 points), Park Jung-ah (17 points), and Lee Han-bi (12 points) struggled but could not prevent the loss. 슬롯사이트

The Devil's Plan

Sejujurnya tidak ada ekspektasi berlebih saat melihat unggahan seorang rekan yang menampilkan sebuah game variety show yang tersedia di platform ott berwarna merah, sampai akhirnya gue menyaksikan sendiri acara tersebut dan yah, jadinya susah move on.

The Devil’s Plan adalah sebuah permainan survival asal Korea Selatan yang terdiri dari 12 pemain. Kedua belas orang ini tinggal bersama selama seminggu untuk memecahkan permainan yang membutuhkan logika berpikir dan strategi yang tepat. Bidak adalah instrumen penting dalam permainan ini, karena dalam setiap permainan para pemain diharapkan mampu mengumpulkan bidak sebanyak-banyaknya. Jika melakukan kesalahan maka pengurangan bidak pun tidak dapat dihindari. Tak hanya bidak, dalam permainan ini juga ada ‘penjara’ yang diperuntukan bagi pemain yang mempunyai bidak paling sedikit.

Namanya juga permainan, maka akan ada yang kalah dan yang menang. Hadiah maksimal yang akan diterima oleh pemenang adalah 500.000 juta won, jika para pemain mampu menyelesaikan permainan berhadiah. Sedangkan yang kalah akan tereliminasi dan mengemas barang miliknya dari rumah tinggal bersama.

Variety show ini terdiri dari 12 episode, dan untunglah saat gue melihat varshow ini episodenya udah lengkap alias udah selesai, jadi gak perlu penasaran untuk menunggu kelanjutannya setiap minggu. Pada episode pertama, dijelaskan bagaimana aturan main dari the devil’s plan dan dijelaskan secara singkat profile para pemain. Berhubung gue kenalnya hanya Ha Seok Jin, maka sedari awal dukungan gue ada padanya. Namun bukan berarti gue gak mendukung pemain lainnya, hanya saja pemain yang gue dukung tereliminasi dibabak-babak awal, hikss.

Ha Seok Jin – Aktor, lulusan Teknik mesin

Seung Kwan – Penyanyi (salah satu member Seventeen)

Kim Dong Jae – Pemain Poker Profesional

Park Kyung Lim – Aktris/Komedian

Lee Si Won – Aktris

Lee Hye Sun – Penyiar

Kwak Joon Bin – Youtuber

Seo Dong Joo – Pengacara

Orbit (Kwedo) – Youtuber

Seo Yoo Min – Dokter

 Cho Yeon Woo – Pemain Goo Profesional

Guillaume Party – Gamer

Permainan dalam acara ini pada dasarnya tidak hanya diformulasikan untuk mengandalkan kemampuan individu setiap pemainnya, tapi ada masa saat permainan berhadiah, dibutuhkan kerjasama tim dari masing-masing pemain untuk mengamankan hadiah uang tunai agar hadiah maksimalnya tidak berkurang. Cuma yah namanya permainan kan gak mungkin juga semua pemain ‘lemah’ diselamatkan dalam aliansi yang diciptakan oleh salah seorang pemain.

TBH, ketika menonton ini dan ada istilah aliansi gue membatin “lah kok yah kerjasama sih mainnya, buat tim-tim gitu, gak yakin sama kemampuan diri sendiri?” Apalagi ada moment ketika salah satu favorit gue yang ‘dikhianati’ karena si penghianat memberitahukan angka pemain favorit gue ke ‘pemimpin’ aliansi itu. Gedek gue pas nontonnya. Mana si penghianatnya pake nangis segala lagi pas orang-orang yang dia khianati tereliminasi. Gue be like “Ya elahhh, kan lu yang buat mereka gagal, kenapa mesti nangis segala. Drama”

Dari beberapa permainan yang mereka mainkan, gue paling bisa ikutan menjawab pada saat game susun kata dengan tema-tema tertentu. Kata yang mereka temukan lalu disusun secara vertikal. Game menyatukan puzzle sebuah gambar juga gue paham aturan permainannya, cuma pas liat waktu pengerjaannya yang super kilat kayaknya gue juga kalau ada di posisi itu yang ada malah gemetaran dan gak bisa fokus. Lalu ada juga game yang membutuhkan kemampuan hapalan tingkat tinggi dari setiap detail gambar yang ditampilkan. Dalam game ini gue angkat topi untuk penampilan seorang pemain yang menyapu bersih pertanyaannya dan membuat jumlah hadiah bertambah 100 juta atau 50 juta won gitu.

Permainan ‘rendah-tinggi’ yang dibuat berdasarkan persamaan matematika pun gue paham aturan mainnya, cuma pas mereka hitung dan menyusun persamaannya dalam tempo sesingkat-singkatnya gue berpikir “kalau gue yang di sana, pake kalkulator aja biar cepat.”

Tak melulu soal hapalan dan angka, dalam acara ini juga diperlukan strategi yang tepat dan efisien untuk menjadi pemenangnya. Makanya ada yang berpendapat untuk membentuk aliansi saja, padahal bisa jadi aliansi yang diciptakan itu seyogyanya rasa insecure si pencetus biar saingan yang dia anggap berpotensi bisa dia eliminasi lebih dulu dengan bantuan aliansinya tersebut.

Pengamatan yang jeli juga dibutuhkan untuk dapat bertahan sampai babak final dalam permainan ini. Mengamati mana partner yang beneran tulus ingin bekerja sama atau manipulatif semata. Serta memperhatikan tiap benda yang ada disekitar, mana tau ada yang menjadi kunci jawaban untuk permainan selanjutnya.

Overall, gue suka banget sama variety show ini selain 2 days 1 night nya Mas Seon Ho haha.

Kalau di 2 day 1 nights, gue bisa puas ngakak ngeliat tingkah pola ngang-ngong dan polos-polos bego kadang pinter juga sih Seon Ho. Kalau The Devil’s Plan memicu otak gue untuk berpikir dan mencari strategi yang win-win solution ditambah asupan visual yang buat rasa charming gue ke pemuda pintar berkacamata naik berkali-kali lipat, hahaha..

The backup catcher's life game that destroyed "Korea's best pitcher" I wasn't afraid of a crash

"He's really one of the best pitchers in Korea. "I didn't even know I hit a pitch even after hitting a hit (laugh)."

Doosan Bears catcher Ahn Seung-han was registered in the first division entry ahead of the Jamsil SSG Landers match on the 25th. Existing backup catcher Park Yoo-yeon needed more than 10 days of rest due to knee pain during the blocking process while playing against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 24th. Yang Eui-ji, the master of the home turf, has just returned from a side injury and can hit, but it was too much to defend. Ahn Seung-han even got a chance to start as soon as he was called by the first team.

All games are important, but this day could also be a burden on Ahn Seung-han. Doosan starter Kwak Bin was on the stage to challenge his first 10 wins, and the SSG starter was South Korean left-hander Kim Kwang-hyun. Ahn Seung-han had to perform both tasks well to support Kim Kwang-hyun in scoring at-bat while leading Kwak Bin's pitch well.

The result was a success. Ahn Seung-han led Kwak Bin's life pitching with 102 pitches, 4 hits, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts, and no runs in 8 innings. From the time I received Kwak Bin's ball from the bullpen before the game, I felt the strength of my fastball, and it was calculated that I could trust my fastball and enter aggressively. When Kwak Bin's other main weapon curve was mixed with a fastball with a maximum speed of 153km, SSG hitters could not hit the bat properly.

At-bat, he produced his first hit in his first showdown with Kim Kwang-hyun. Ahn Seung-han hit a heavy hit in the bottom of the third inning with a 1-0 lead. He targeted Kim Kwang-hyun's change-up in the ball count 1-1. When the next batter Cho Soo-haeng got on base with a grounder to shortstop, Ahn Seung-han was forced out at second base, but Kim Tae-geun hit a timely RBI in the ensuing one-out third base opportunity to make it 2-0. Kim Kwang-hyun lost five more points in the fourth inning alone and struggled with seven runs (six earned runs) in four innings due to the momentum of Doosan's batters.

Ahn Seung-han said, "I'm one of the best pitchers in Korea, and it's my first time (against Kim Kwang-hyun) at-bat." I didn't even know I played any pitch after I hit it. At first, I thought we should play just by looking at the course. When the batting coach went in, he also said, "Don't look at the pitcher and hit him," so I think that's a good result," he said with a proud smile.

He also led Kwak Bin's scoreless pitch with his sparing defense. Kwak Bin was also guarding the mound in the seventh inning with a 7-0 lead, and Ahn Seung-han and other fielders defended more intensively with Kwak Bin's shutout in mind. Kwak Bin was on the verge of losing his first run after two outs and allowed a hit by Kim Kang-min to steal second base. At that time, Han Yu-seom gave up a right-handed hit, and Kim Kang-min naturally sprinted to home. Right fielder Kim Tae-geun immediately threw the ball home, and Ahn Seung-han took off the catcher's mask and tagged Kim Kang-min right away. In the process, Kwak Bin, who collided with Kim Kang-min and fell backwards and backed up behind the home plate, was surprised and ran to Ahn Seung-han. Ahn Seung-han was not completely without the shock of the collision, but he returned to the dugout with joy of preventing a run.

Regarding the above situation, Kim Tae-geun said, "I was defending Hu Bin, but when I saw the electronic display, (Kwak) Bin was scoreless. Since it was possible to win a shutout, all I thought was that if a strong ball came, I would somehow catch the runner at home to protect Bin's scoreless run. He gave credit to Ahn Seung-han, saying, "A Bodhisattva made by (An) Seung-han, who caught the throw well, not me." Kwak Bin was able to secure the mound until the eighth inning and reach the 10th win thanks to Kim Tae-geun and Ahn Seung-han's cooperation in defense.

Kwak Bin said, "Seung-han wants aggressive pitching. I want to be aggressive too, so it fits well and is comfortable. I wanted to use the curve a lot, and I think Seung-han made me throw the curve because he knew that the ball power would live only when I threw the curve. Seung-han is a confident catcher. "If I get a hit, Seung-han will blame himself more than I will blame myself, which makes me think that I have to throw harder," he said, expressing his gratitude.

Ahn Seung-han produced a multi-hit at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, contributing to the team's additional runs. Park Kye-beom's timely hit led to an 8-0 run and a one-out first and second base opportunity. Ahn Seung-han hit a right-handed hit to fill the runner with a leak. Kim In-tae, a pinch hitter in the next at-bat, hit a timely two-run double to the right field to run away 10-0, and Doosan won 10-1 to win four consecutive games.

Ahn Seung-han said, "As soon as I got called up today (25th), the team won the game I played, won consecutive games, and Bin also won 10 games, so it's really good." "I was lucky, but I had a hit and it was an unforgettable day," he recalled.

Along with Kwak Bin, he was selected as an award-winning player and got a chance to participate in a podium interview. This year, Ahn Seung-han played only 11 games in the first division as Yang Eui-ji joined the team and Jang Seung-hyun got a chance as a backup catcher. Ahn Seung-han's face, who had the opportunity to communicate with fans on the podium for the first time in 11 games this season, was filled with a happy smile.

Ahn Seung-han said, "I did it once last year and had a podium interview for the first time in a year this year. I'm so nervous. "I think it's harder than playing baseball," he replied with a big smile.

Ahn Seung-han is famous as a player who gives energy to his teammates by shouting fighting loudly on the bench. When Doosan won 11 consecutive games last month, first baseman Yang Seok-hwan even said, "80% of our consecutive wins are because of you."

Now, Ahn Seung-han wants to give more strength to his teammates on the ground. He said, "I was continuing to prepare hard. When accompanying the first team, he practiced diligently, and talked a lot about bats with the coaches and thoroughly prepared himself. "Now I don't just work hard with my voice, but I want to play better in the game," he said. 스포츠토토

Doctor Cha (2023)

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more melodramas!

I usually hate love triangles, but it wasn’t so bad with this show. I think it helped that the entire premise was so unbelievable that I was able to just sit back and embrace the chaos. 

What Worked 

The show did a great job at letting you know what you were in for right from the first episode—an over the top, unrealistic situation with fun characters. The entire plot was building towards this dramatic train wreck where the protagonist (who was almost too good to be true) hit the final straw, and gave the terrible husband and mother-in-law exactly what they deserved. And that whole part of the story was completely engrossing. 

What Didn’t Work 

The writers didn’t bungle the ending, I still liked it, but I think they played it a little safe. All of the messed up relationships that were causing the delicious drama wrapped up on mostly good terms. That’s a nice story in a way, but I don’t think it was as cathartic. 

Still, it’s a better story than real life, where men like the cheating husband often end up prospering, without really learning their lesson. 

The Performances

Uhm Jung-hwa as “Doctor Mom” Cha Jeong-suk. I first saw this actress in “Our Blues” and I really liked her in that. Though the writing in this show isn’t quite as good, her performance in this show was just as good and even better in some respects. Really fun to watch this actress at work. 

Kim Byung-chul as “Dirty Cheating Doctor” Seo In-ho. His character was supposed to be both pathetic and hate-able and the actor hit the brief very well. A lot of the charm in this show was watching him get his just desserts and suffer, while still being an unrepentant jerk. 

It’s not exactly hate watching when the show clearly wants you to hate him. The fact that I never got tired of watching him, shows just how good his acting was. 

Myung Se-bin as “Lady Cheating Doctor” Choi Seung-hee. This actor had a tough job to do. The writers kept shifting her motivation and relationships around and overall she did a good job making it work. I think her best scenes were with Eun-Seo, but she was still okay to watch overall. 

Min Woo-hyuk as “The Good Doctor” Roy Kim. I enjoyed his performance. It was fun watching him go in and ruffle everyone’s feathers by being a good guy who doesn’t take anyone’s nonsense. I think his arc mostly peaked early though and he was less interesting towards the end of the series. 

Song Ji-ho as “Doctor Son” Seo Jung-min. He had some great comic moments and I enjoyed watching his relationship with the girlfriend. It did take some time for him to really get interesting, though. 

Jo Ah-ram as “Doctor Girlfriend” Jeon So-ra. I loved this character. I really enjoyed her relationships with both Jeong-suk and Jung-min.

Baek Joo-hee as “Doctor Bestie” Baek Mi-hee. A good example of how a good actor can make even a side character interesting. I especially liked the episode where she helped Yi-rang after she got in a fight. 

Park Joon-geum as “The Worst Mother-in-Law” Kwak Ae-sim. I really disliked this character. Which means she did a good job because that was exactly what I was supposed to feel.

Kim Mi-kyung as “The Best Omma” Oh Deok-rye. She’s played a role like this so many times and yet I never get tired of seeing her because she still keeps it from being boring or repetitive. A national treasure. 

Lee Seo-yeon as “The Good Daughter” Seo Yi-rang. She did a good job with the role she was given and had some great moments, but there were times when she disappeared in a scene. Pretty good overall though. 

So A-rin as “The Best Daughter” Choi Eun-seo. They played it like she was some kind of emotionally unstable child in the first few episodes, which was unfortunate because the character was actually one of the most interesting and honest characters in the show. And she was mistreated by everyone. 

The show was at its best when they let this actor loose, and I was really impressed by her performance. 

Everyone Else. The show did have a few good moments for its minor characters, but most of the time they weren’t memorable or doing anything important. 

TL; DR: 

This is a show made for people who like melodramas. If you’re able to turn off the nitpicking part of your brain and enjoy the ride, it’s pretty dang fun.
