Cafè Minamdang & Medical Examiner Dr. Qin

Nella spasmodica attesa che Viki finisca di subbare Lighter e Princess ed altre millemila serie, non ho voluto stare con le mani in mano e mi sono vista altri drama. Oh, c'è caso che nel mischiume esce un mezzo capolavoro! Ma ahimè per adesso nessuno di questi mi ha fatto innamorare. La serie migliore per adesso è My love from the star, per dire.

Ne parlo brevemente partendo da Cafè Minamdang.

Non è un mistero che io l 'abbia iniziato solo per Seo In Guk, attore che avevo già visto e apprezzato in Doom at your service e che ero curiosa di vedere in ben altre vesti. E devo dire che fa bene il suo lavoro: Seo In Guk ha un buon lato comico ma tira fuori anche momenti seri e intensi che lo rendono davvero un bel vedere. E' un attore versatile davvero!

In questa serie Seo In Guk è Nam Han Joon, un ex profiler criminale che ora lavora come truffatore. Per eseguire le sue truffe, si traveste da indovino con il suo negozio chiamato Minamdang. I clienti sono attratti dal suo aspetto attraente e dai suoi modi pacati. Mentre inganna i suoi clienti, lavora per risolvere i loro problemi, fornendo allo stesso tempo un eccellente servizio clienti. Collabora con Gong Soo Cheol, che gestisce un'agenzia investigativa privata, e sua sorella minore, Hye Joon, un hacker d'élite. Nel mentre, negli ultimi tre anni, la detective Han Jae Hee ha svolto il suo lavoro con entusiasmo e integrità. Il suo coinvolgimento con Nam Han Joon metterà a repentaglio tutto ciò? (Fonte: AsianWiki, a cura di Lee C)

Ottima la chimica con il gruppo del Midamdang e poi con la polizia: i personaggi hanno tutti caratteri ben strutturati e creano linee comiche ottimali e si vede il feeling tra tutti i membri del gruppo. Vederli fregare la gente o all'opera è stato davvero soddisfacente! Fra tutti i personaggi ho dato tuttavia il mio cuore alla sorella del protagonista per via della sua intelligenza e cazzutaggine: la scena dove prende a randellate la macchina del suo ex vale l'intero drama!

Minamdang infatti non è solo un investigativo ma è pieno di momenti comici. E con momenti comici intendo: faccette buffe, versi strani, scene allucinanti. Devo dire però che mi sono divertita. Credo che la serie abbia fatto un buon lavoro in questo frangente ma ovviamente devono piacerti queste cose!

Altro punto forte è il personaggio del procuratore Cha: la scoperta di essere lui il Gopuri che stiamo cercando da episodi ed episodi è stata davvero apprezzabile: io avevo dei leggerissimi sospetti sin dall'inizio ma che poi ammetto, sono svaniti con il tempo. Ed invece avevo ragione. Ottima la sua recitazione, costruzione e motivazione che sta dietro al suo personaggio. La sua lenta consapevolezza della sua vera identità è il capolavoro psicologico della serie.

D'altra parte, la serie per me è stata troppo lunga. Poteva benissimo avere meno episodi e ciò di evince anche da quante volte non siano riusciti ad accoppare il primo Gopuri: lo arrestavano e scappava. Lo quasi prendevano e riusciva a fuggire ecc ecc. Io capisco tutto ma la sensazione che mi ha suscitato tutta questa storia è stato d'allungamento di brodo. Credo che ci vogliano quasi 8/9 episodi prima di entrare nel vivo dell'azione e della trama orizzontale, cosa questa per me un po' frustrante.

Altra cosa - anzi due - che non mi hanno convinto sono state la lead e la storia d'amore. Ahimè, io Oh Yeon Seo non riesco a farmela piacere da un punto di vista recitativo. Sia qui che in Korean Odissey la trovo sempre troppo rigida e fredda. tanto che Korean Odissey lo droppai proprio per questo. Ed in questa serie invece si vede che ha provato un ruolo nuovo, più aperto e simpatico a tratti divertente...ma ai miei occhi il risultato è stato un po' deludente. Non mi ha mai convinto del tutto.

Anche perché c'era sin dall'inizio questo problema dell'età dei due protagonisti che ogni volta che inquadravano la lead io pensavo:-" ma un attrice più giovane non c'era?!" e questo ha contribuito alla mia bassa opinione sulla questione.

Mentre la storia d'amore...beh a me è sembrata nascere dal nulla: lei che lo ama da tempo immemore e lui che s'innamora a prima vista dopo averla vista da grande. Nell'arco poi di qualche episodio complice il tempo trascorso assieme arriva l'amore reciproco e ...fine. Boh, io sto grande amore non l'ho nè visto nè sentito. Ma magari sono io che ho il cuore di pietra eh!

Concludendo: serie carina investigativa con molti momenti divertenti e una buona bromance ma che non riguarderei.

Medical Examiner Dr. Qin

Ci spostiamo poi in Cina per questa serie sempre poliziesco/investigativa - devo avere un feticismo per questo genere - in compagnia di medici legali, crimini a tinte splatter e finali orribili.

La storia è semplice e non guarderò mai male abbastanza Mydramalist per aver scritto la trama della serie poco accuratamente tanto da dover andarla a rileggere durante la visione per vedere se avevo letto male io.

La serie parla del medico legale Dao Bao - nuova recluta del gruppo di polizia - che s'aggiunge all'altro medico legale Dr. Qin e all'investigatore Lin Tao usando le sue competenze mediche, intellettive e olfattive nel risolvere i crimini tutti assieme appassionatamente.

Per i primi 10 episodi - più o meno - la serie tralascia la trama orizzontale per concentrarsi sui singoli casi: da moglie e marito uccisi, scuoiati, fatti a pezzi e fritti, al tizio raccattato nel lago senza testa e con sassi al posto degli organi interni. Dal ragazzino di 13 anni ritrovato nel bidone all'uomo bruciato... insomma c'è ne è per tutti i gusti!

Sicuramente mai e poi mai andrei ad abitare in quella zona considerando non tanto i crimini ma i livelli di macabro che sono riusciti a tirar fuori. Senza contare poi il vizio dei paesani di gettare cadaveri nel secchio dell'immondizia in mezzo alla strada che oltre che essere poco igenico fa capire subito il livello intellettivo delle bestie che abitano questo paesello.

Comunque sia mi stavo divertendo: le indagini erano ben fatte, come ben mostrato era il grande lavoro del medico legale: i due lead spiegavano tutto per filo e per segno, accompagnandoci durante l'autopsia e mostrando cose davvero interessanti. Ho imparato tantissimo.

Oltre a ciò, mi piaceva la lead. Ottimista, competente, divertente e sempre con la risposta pronta. I suoi siparietti con gli altri due uomini del gruppo sono stati molto divertenti e me l'hanno tanto fatta tanto apprezzare. Ancor di più mi è piaciuta la sua poca femminilità, non solo da un punto di vista estetico: Da Bao ha i capelli cortissimi, è minuta e si veste da uomo. O meglio, trova il vestiario nel reparto bambini dei negozi. E siccome questo lo faccio pure io, non posso non volerle bene.

Insomma, stava andando tutto alla grande e poi... il disastro. Durante la serie viene mostrato quello che pare essere "la trama orizzontale", ossia i molari: sia alle vittime che nei colpevoli viene tolto o si tolgono i molari, segno inequivocabile di un serial killer. o di una fatina dei denti particolarmente inquietante Beh, come spettatore ti aspetti che tutto questo abbia un seguito, che voglia dire qualcosa.

Quando poi verso il finale viene tirata fuori la storia della morte del padre del lead, cominci a pensare che sta cosa dei denti sia funzionale o legata alla faccenda. E' ovvio. E invece... sia questo, sia il mistero della morte del padre del lead non c'azzecca nulla con il villain finale che pare quindi aver fatto cose a cazzo giusto per minutaggio.

Non ci viene detto perché strappa i denti alle vittime o le fa togliere ai colpevoli. Non viene spiegato perché se il marito del villain è uno stupratore e assassino sia colpa del lead che lo ha arrestato. Ignoriamo come sia morto il padre del protagonista (lo hanno spinto di sotto? chi è stato? come si è svolta la dinamica dell'incidente?). Il finale mi è parso un accozzaglia di robe fatte male e scritte peggio. Peccato perché bastava poco per fare, non dico un finale memorabile, ma almeno uno decente.

Such a GOOD but underrated actor!

Horror creeps across Lin Tao’s chiselled features as his eyes flick between the scalpel in Qin Ming’s hand and the rising waterline in the tank. Qin Ming waits for a heartbeat. Two. There’s an echoing scream in his ears and a decades-old rainstorm beating furiously within his chest, and Qin Ming hopes and hopes that he will not have to hurt Lin Tao to save Dabao.

I apologized if I missed any. I went fast so I could actually get this posted. For DONGHUA and MANHUA look under 'cartoons & comics & graphic novels'. For Chinese language movies look under 'movies'. For Cnovels (danmei and other), look under 'books and literature.' There are lots of nominations there as well. Here's the tag set!

By the way, according to Yuletide staff, the most frequently nominated fandom was Mysterious Lotus Casebook.

CPR/Defib Scenes

Someone just asked me for a list of all the CPR/Defib scenes that I know of so I’ll do my best to list them here.

The following are all scenes that I have giffed: Chimera Ep. 15, Confession Ep. 6, Flower Of Evil Ep. 5 (CPR+Defib), He Is Psychometric Ep. 15, Hello Monster Ep. 16 (very brief), High & Low Season 2 - Ep. 6, Jirisan Ep. 11, Killer And Healer Ep. 30+31, Life On Mars Ep. 7, Money Flower Ep. 2, Prison Playbook Ep. 2 (although this is fake), Triangle Ep. 16, When A Man Loves Ep. 17 (I haven’t actually giffed the CPR though), White Christmas Ep. 4

All of these are linked and depicted in further detail on my whump spreadsheet which can be found here. It includes every gif I’ve ever made. If you press CTRL+F, it will give you a search bar where you can search ‘CPR’ or any key word you like and find the results.

The following are just scenes that I can list off the top of my head: Mad Dog Ep. 12, King Of Pigs Ep. 12, Bulgasal: Immortal Souls Ep. 6, Triage Ep. 2+4+6+10, Game Of Outlaws Ep. 16, Medical Examiner Dr Qin Ep. 3, Be Reborn Ep. 25, Cupid’s Last Wish Ep. 8, God’s Quiz Ep. 8+10

I know there are also scenes in S.C.I: Journal Of Mysterious Cases and First Responders but I can’t remember which episodes.

I hope this helps :)

Medical Examiner: Dr Qin Review

To start, thank you @s1utspeare for turning me onto this show.

TL;DR: I loved it, the chemistry between the three main characters was off the charts, and Li Dabao is the most awesome character ever. It is 20 short 30ish minute episodes. For me, it is also very aro/ace friendly.

So I am biased. I have probably watched (or at least checked out), ever american (and probably some english-speaking non-American) show of this category. Mainly modern Crime Scene dramas. This one definitely follows that mold, (beyond some small differences (probably cultural)), this met expectations for it's category 100%.

I will warn this show is... very very gore-y in parts, and much more graphic than American Crime drama's tend to be. So if you don't like seeing blood, dead bodies, and other things involved in autopsies, maybe skip, or be prepared to look away. (I am not kidding, we are talking like Hannibal levels here).

There are three main characters, but I'm going to say, for me, Li DaBao is absolutely the star of the show. She is a woman in a male dominated career, and they don't shy away from making this clear, and making her struggles more obvious than I usually see. As a fellow woman in a male-dominated field, I identified so hard. She at times portrays as more masculine with her style of clothes and hair, perhaps it's to fit in, perhaps it's her own style, and her colleagues refer to her as Bao-ge (brother Bao), which I took as a sign of 'you are one of us' and 'you belong'. (I fully recognize some people may find this problematic, for me I love when my coworkers first assume I am a man, since it means they will respect me. (yay remote work making this possible)).

The friendship between the three characters is just off the charts. There are so many moments they are just THERE for each other, and the way they bounce off each other is just so good. If I could watch this show and it was just 20 episodes of them eating dinner and nothing else, I would love it.

The show is mostly your crime of the week style. (though in typical c-drama fashion I am still confused on why episodes end. Most of the crimes are about 1.5-2.5 episodes long and new cases start in the middle of episodes, so don't watch based on the episodes)

Spoilers behind the cut. (like really)

OMG That ending!?! That was the most intense hourish of my life.

The way Qin Ming kneeled without even a hint of hesitation or anything, just, couldn't drop down fast enough. Best kneeling scene I've seen in C-drama.

My other favorite Scene was when Lin Tao tried to set Qin Ming and Li Dabao up, and failed so miserably. I really hope there's fanfic around that.

I also loved Li Dabao going on blind dates, and the anti she had to meet and her absolutely glorious put down of the guy who asked her to change her career. And then we find out it's the 9th time this happened, and it makes her hilarious put-down incredibly sad because it's not that she just pulled that answer out cause she's awesome (which she is), it's because this KEEPS happening. and the Fact the other two mains always went to the same restaurant to watch her, (with her permission and knowledge I'm assuming from the reaction) and commiserated. Just So Great.

Anyways I have a lot of feels. There's just so much.

[hotaruyy]

This is the fourth year of what is absolutely not the apocalypse. Lin Tao has not been infected and remains very much human. The authorities are providing proper care for the infected in quarantine, and are definitely taking all possible measures to develop vaccines, treatments, and cures. Yeah.

[save-the-data]

Okay its time for one of my favourite rewatches, Ultimate Note. But I also need help.....

These projects are sitting at hiatus at various episodes.
