Finally finished 'All of us are Dead'... I would say, good timing, the second season is almost going to be released. 😜

Expected it to be as melodramatic as it is, with harsh reality checks, true dark human side being exposed brilliantly.

Just a few things though.

It should have been Eun Ji against Gwi Nam instead of my sweet baby boy Cheong Sang vs Gwi Nam.

I kept waiting for Eun Ji to appear when they kept on reviving Gwi Nam. Almost lost the count how many times he survived lethal falls but came back, just to annoy the most precious boy.

My girl Eun Ji deserved a closure to not lose hope so brutally.

And that not so necessary, almost barely explained story of that teen mama, seemed so abrupt. What did they intend to convey through her story? Parents loving their kids, no matter what? They already had that covered through three parents going to another level for their kids.

I was expecting that politician lady to be the mother of the class president Nam Ra. All the kids and she mentioned her mother as a powerful lady but then they never touched upon that. Nam Ra even stated, "Do you think anybody is coming to rescue us? My mother wouldn't have set still but you don't see anyone helping us." A short scenario where her so called powerful mother is being bitten, would have been a little helpful.

I also felt that Su Hyuk's background was completely left untouched when he is the one for sure leading into the next season. Why was he a delinquent? What made him change?

I just love the bathroom sheltered squad though. They have my heart for being so adorable and suave all at the same time.

Found it a bit funny how Gwi Nam attacked the cute archer boy and we got him as a horrendous bully in 'Revenge for Others'. 😁

I really want Cheong Sang to survive in that half-zombie state but be there. He is too precious to just disappear in ashes like that. And for sure no Gwi Nam, I will flip tables, he can't be surviving every shit.

And I want the funniest but kindest cop ever to be in the next season. He for sure has a thing or two to settle with the authorities.

Oh Hye-soo

[fujunfuren]

I only chose her as the Crown Princess because she is the most outstanding. I saw your eldest daughter by coincidence. Unlike other young ladies who only learn from their books, she is like a gemstone. Not only did she step up and help the weak, but she was also very compassionate.

Revenant

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Revenant (2023, South Korea)

Directors: Lee Jung Rim & Kim Jae Hong

Writer: Kim Eun Hee

Mini-review:

I finally got the chance to watch this, and it didn't disappoint at all. I love me a good horror thriller, a genre that's very in rare in the world of k-dramas, and this one ticks all the boxes for me. Sure, it's not super scary or anything, but it does know how to be creepy as hell. And while it was the central mystery that kept me hooked from beginning to end, I also appreciated the way they used individual "cases" to build up the main plot, especially during the first half. On top of that, the show is superbly acted, with Kim Tae Ri being particularly excellent in a sort of dual role. But really, I don't think I have a single complaint. Revenant is truly that good, and I will certainly add it to my favorite dramas list.

P.S. There is a lot of triggering content throughout its twelve episodes, so be careful with that and make sure to check warnings.

Under the queens umbrella was wrapped up so beautifully. Never expected a saeguk drama to give a satisfactory ending.

May I Help You. 8-9

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: The Masters Sun (kdrama); From Now on Showtime! (Kdrama) ; Hotel del Luna (kdrama); Bring it on Ghosts (kdrama);

This was a beautifully written drama that had a few hiccups along the way. It definitely won’t be for everyone, but it has a lot of heart and a lot of well written characters. For me it fit into my favorite genre perfectly and gave me a slight feel of the western drama ‘Pushing Daisies’ void that I was missing. It does have its problems, it gets sometimes a bit uneven throughout the series and the romance did get a tad bit cliche with the whole love triangle bit, but it didn’t really matter since both leads had an extraordinary amount of chemistry together. I actually wished it used it more towards the somewhat meh ending. And for the episodic ‘ghost of the week’ stories….. I can’t count how many times it had me reaching for the tissues. Overall definitely recommend.

Title: #underthequeensumbrella

Main Cast: #KimHyeSoo and my other two favorites #KimGaEun #OhYeJu

Episodes: 16

Platform: Netflix

Loooooooved it! I held off until about six episodes were released because I read Kim Hye Soo was carrying the drama and it's true she is the best thing about this drama but I thought the rest of the cast were pretty good too. The story was well done and the queen was just amazing. She projected motherly love and you just wanted to protect her character. I had two favorite support characters, Consort Tae who was just adorable and Crown Princess Chung Ha whose love story with the crown prince was totally cute. An extremely surprising plot point that was so heartfelt and genuine was the story of Grand Prince Gye Seong, I thought the love the Queen showed towards him was absolutely heartwarming and what an incredibly progressive storyline, absolutely loved it. I can't say enough about this drama and I definitely recommend!

HELLO REBECCA 10TH ANNI KOREAN CAST?????

Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2)

This is definite another favorite of mine; right next to Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Alchemy of Souls & Alchemy of Soul: Light and Shadow tell the story a young group of mage who have to fight against the greed of soul shifters and the sorcerous that conjure the spell. The story has a perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and suspense in a beautifully threaded plot.

The story begins with Naksu, a powerful female assassin, who wants to avenge the murder of her father as she follows her master's orders. And Jang Ok trying to unlock the power within him in his quest to becoming the mage everyone is trying to prevent him to become because of the truth of his birth. These two meet when Jang Ok has left his last master and she has shifted to the body of a blind girl in order to escape death. But she is no longer the powerful mage she had been, now that she is trapped in this body and in order to regain her power, she accepts becoming Jang Ok's master disguised as servant.

These two lives are entwined in a tangle of intrigue, misunderstanding and friendships that are strengthened and forged as Naksu as Mu Deok and Jang Ok walk the challenging terrain to make Jang Ok reach the highest level of a mage.

I fell in love with the characters, their personalities, their struggles and feelings. The end of the first part broke my heart.

The second part starts 3 years after Mu Deok's death and Jang Ok's returning from the afterlife with the ice stone. Jang Ok who is surrounded by shadows, and the pain of losing the love of his life, has become the most powerful mage and carries the responsibility of destroying soul shifters. Meanwhile, the two souls that had co-existed in Mu Deok's body are now enclosed in Naksu's body. But this time, both souls have lost their memories and powers and are imprisoned in the Jinyowon household. It is through Jin Bu Yeon's interaction with Jang Ok and the others that she slowly regains her powers and memories. In this last part, the youth come together to defeat the greed and selfishness of the king, queen, and everyone who sought to gain power through the alchemy of souls and the ice stone.

This series was definitely worth the wait! I recommend it to everyone. I will be thinking about this story for a long time. I know I will be watching this one multiple times.
