Squid Game (Season 2, 2024, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Hwang Dong Hyuk

Mini-review:

I didn't quite see the need for more Squid Game; despite the somewhat open ending, the first season was a thoroughly satisfying watch. And now, after seeing the new one, my opinion hasn't really changed. The first half is basically a rehash of the concept and themes, with a slowed-down pace to drag the story out into two seasons. On top of that, more than a few of the new characters are ridiculously annoying (and it doesn't help that half of the cast is made up of awful people). That being said, the games remain thrilling and entertaining, easily the best part of this installment. I'm still curious to see how the story ends, and most of my favorite characters managed to survive, so I will be tuning into the final season next year.

A domestic horror or a gothic melodrama? Why not both! It's THE HOUSEMAID (1960, Kim), aka HANYEO, Korea's first horror movie!

Dealing with social commentary about Korea's changing class and addressing women's sexual desires, this is a one-of-a-kind movie.

Love Next Door

Wow! This is definitely a favorite for me! I love the story and the characters. This is a series I know I will rewatch. It's a story that everyone can relate to because it's not just about two people in love, it's about family, friendship and the rest. Is about finding ourselves and working towards our dreams, is about life in all its facets and the people that make our world special.

It's a must watch series!

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Love Next Door (2024, South Korea)

Director: Yoo Je Won

Writer: Shin Ha Eun

Mini-review:

As a fan of both Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, I knew I couldn't miss this for anything in the world. And fortunately, it was a fun and endearing ride from beginning to end. There were so many times where I felt like this drama had perfected the 'childhood friends to lovers' trope, which I've always been very fond of. That's not to say it's perfect, though; while the last two episodes are very good, overall I enjoyed the first half a lot more than the second one. I love my romcoms with a considerable splash of angst, but a lot of the dramatic storylines on here felt a tad too silly, at least in the way they were handled. Still, the cast pulls through any and all flaws with their spot-on acting and chemistry. Jung Hae In turns in a particularly incredibly performance, showcasing his diverse and nuanced range like never before (which is saying a lot, since I already considered him a supremely skilled actor). To sum up, Love Next Door has its issues, but it's more than lovely enough to get past them.
