Castaway Diva. 7

Story: 6-7

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: Twenty Five, Twenty One (kdrama); Thirty but Seventeen (kdrama)

Total mixed feelings about this. First half, loved. Second half, a huge disappointment dumpster fire. I hate to say the kids in the first two episodes were better then their counterparts/as the adults. Storyline was exciting at first. Loved the whole island bits. I actually wish they explored a tad more with the younger version of Mok Ha (Lee Re) when she was stuck on the island. Honestly even with 12 episodes the story just drag on. Most characters were in my opinion cliche. Didn’t really care for Park Eun Bin’s take (whoever directed her in doing so) on being stuck with emotions of a teenagers personality. It got old very quickly. It didn’t help that both main leads had zero chemistry together either. Overall the whole series started oh my gosh this is great to meh…..

Wedding Impossible

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Wedding Impossible (2024, South Korea)

Director: Kwon Young Il

Writers: Oh Hye Won & Park Seul Ki (based on the webtoon by Song Jung Won)

Mini-review:

Well, this drama was entertaining, but nothing more. It was especially funny at the beginning, thanks to that sort of 'rivalry' between the leads. However, once they solved that and started moving into purely romantic territory, the story began to lose steam quickly. Tbh, I kept watching to the very end because of the sizzling chemistry between Jeon Jong Seo and Moon Sang Min. And I guess I wanted to see how in the world they were gonna clear up the mess created by the characters, which was pretty fascinating. I feel like the show would have been better if the director had put more thought into its style, cause the whole thing looked pretty cheap and bland. But still, Wedding Impossible is fun enough, and I can see fans of classic romcoms enjoying it a lot.

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: Honorable Mentions - Broker (dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda)

If you've seen Hirokazu Kore-eda's 2018 film Shoplifters, the themes of found family and unconventional relationships explored in Broker won't be anything new. What Broker does boast, however, is a story that, in its own way separate from Shoplifters, is profoundly beautiful. The characters and overarching trajectory of the plot in Broker is slightly more straightforward in its positive message and uplifting spirit than Shoplifters was, and, of course, it's yet another great acting showcase for Korean powerhouse Song Kang-ho. It's also an incredible acting showcase for K-pop star Lee Ji-eun, who is probably better known by her stage name IU. I hope Broker is a launchpad to seeing her in more stuff, because she is wildly impressive in this.

Currently available to rent/purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and on DVD & Blu-ray through Decal Releasing.

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.

OUR BLUES // KDRAMA DİZİ YORUMU

UYARI : Yazılar genel olarak spoiler içerebilir. İçermeyedebilir.

İmdb puanı: 8,6 Benim puanım: 9

Drama: Our Blues (literal title)

Hangul: 우리들의 블루스

Director: Kim Kyu-Tae

Writer: No Hee-Kyung

Date: 2022

Language: Korean

Country: South Korea

Cast: Lee Byung-Hun, Shin Min-A, Han Ji-Min, Kim Woo-Bin, Ko Du-Shim, Cho Hye-Jung, Baek Seung-Do, Lee Jung-Eun, Park Ji-Hwan, Choi Young-Joon, Roh Yoon-Seo, Bae Hyun-Sung

 Our Blues izlemeye başladıktan bir süre sonra sizi himayesine alan bir dizi. Neden beğendiğinizi anlamadan beğeniyorsunuz. Slice of life dediğimiz belli bir konu ve durum üzerinde durmayan insanlar üzerinden işlenen sıcak bir hikaye. 20 bölüm olduğu için ilk başta biraz gözünüz korkabilir ama güzel akıyor. Öncelikle oyuncu kadrosu inanılmaz. Her yerde başrol olarak Lee Byung-Hun ve  Shin Min-A görünse de kesinlikle başrol onlar değildi. Benim gözümde başrol kesinlikle Han Ji-Min ve Kim Woo-Bin’di.

Jeju adasındaki yaşantıyı anlatan dizide adanın bütün güzellikleri de gözler önüne serilmişti. Bu kadar durağan dizilerin genellikle hitap ettiği kitle 25yaş hatta 30 yaş sonrası oluyor. O yüzden herkesin bayılarak seyredeceğini düşünmüyorum. Karakterlerin hikayelerine işlenmiş anılar, acılar, mutluluklar en doğal yolla ekrana getirilmişti. Öyle ki izlerken sizde Jeju sakinlerinden biriymiş gibi hissediyorsunuz.

Tek tek karakterlerin üzerinden geçebileceğimiz bir dizi olmadığı için o şekilde bir detaya girmeyi düşünmüyorum. Her biri kendi hikayelerini bizlere anlatarak sahneden ayrılıyorlardı. Her bölümde bir diğerine odaklandık. Bir bölüm balıkçının yalnızlığını, içindeki sevginin büyüklüğünü izlerken bir sonraki bölümde balıkçıyla irtibattaki kahveciye kayıyordu. Her birinde farklı bir konuya dikkat çekiliyordu. Depresyon, velayet, kürtaj, travma, otizm gibi konular ve daha fazlası sırasıyla işlendi.

Bütün bu hikayelere tanık olurken, izleyiciye bir yandan da karakter analizleri yaptırıyor. Bütün izlediğimiz karmaşık dizilerden biraz uzaklaşıp nefes almak istiyorsanız doğru yerdesiniz. Beyninizi yakan bilim kurgulardan, mantığınıza oturmayan doğaüstü hikayelerden, karmaşık olay örgülerinden sıyrılmak için mükemmel bir tercih.

En başta da dediğim gibi, benim gözümde dizinin yıldızı Kim Woo-Bin’di. Daha önce izlediğimde bu kadar dikkatimi çekmemişti ama bu dizide güneş gibi parlıyordu. Özellikle gülümsemesi inanılmazdı. Sadece onun için bile izleyebilirsiniz. Gerek hayatta partneri olan Shin Min-A ise dizideki en arka sıralardaki bir roldeydi. Woo-Bin’e dizide partner olarak eşlik eden isim ise Han Ji-Min oldu. Ben ikilinin enerjisine bayıldım. Ji-Min’i ise oyunculuk anlamında baya başarılı buluyorum.

Lee Byung-Hun gibi bir isim bile bence Woo-Bin’i geçememişti. Tabi ki daha önce dediğim gibi, herkes kendine düşen kısımda hakkını veriyordu. Lee Jung-Eun tecrübesi ile Roh Yoon-Seo ise yeni nesli temsilen şahane iş çıkartmıştı.

İzleyin derim.

*REBLOG FOR UPDATES*

[urmelodysblog]

🌹ღRed velvet Reaction to you Sitting on Their lapꨄ

✳Contains fluff and fluff and fluff✳



Irene/ Bae Ju-Hyun 🌹

GIF by dazzlingkai

Irene's a really muture person so I don't see her freaking out about you sitting on her lap (on the outside at least, internally panicking tho ☠️.)

She'd probably blush a little bit while putting her arms around your waist to make sure you don't fall; but she'd definitely like you sitting in her lap when you guys were alone,but if you try to sit in her lap infront of the other members Irene would go full mom mode and scold you and tell you how it was Innapropriate in front of the kids,members



Kang Seulgi 🌹

GIF by theseulgis

Seulgi would definitely, definitely 100% start blushing like crazy.

Speciflly if it was infront of the members then you best believe she'd start going completrly red while wrapping an arm around you and hidding her face in the crook of your neck as the other members teased her. But that didn't mean she didn't like it.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But even if you guys were alone she'd still be really flustered and shy ;she'd never really get used to it but she did really loved it when you sat on her lap.

Wendy/Son Seung-Wan 🌹

GIF by beautyidol

like Seulgi, Wendy would be really flustered but unlike Seulgi she would respond really quickly to it by wrapping her hand around your waist. Trying to act as if it didn't even shock her one bit. Infact she might even tease you by saying something along the lines of,"You just can't resist me can you?". Which resulted in you trying to get of her lap but being unsuccessful because of her grip on your waist.

Moral of the story she really loved when you sat on her lap in public or not, it didn't matter.



Joy/Park Soo-Young 🌹

GIF by ot5velvet

Like all the other members Joy would get flustered but she'd immediately start giggling at your adordable action as she wrapped her hand around your waist and probably wouldn't let you go for at least a few hours☠️. And if you tired to get up she'd use all of her strength to pull you back down, but if she was incapable of doing so; then she'd pout until you gave in and sat on her lap.

Yeri/Kim Ye-Rim 🌹

GIF by theseulgis

Yeri would be the most flustered out of all the members like she would be completely red, giggling while trying not to make eye contact because this would all be really new to Yeri .

You would probably try to sit on the couch to tease Yeri because you knew that she liked having you so close to her. And when Yeri asked you why you wanted to sit on the couch while still stuttering and blushing. You decided to tease her even more by saying "I don't wanna bother you" , as an attempt to get her to admit she liked having you on her lap.

Weak Hero Character Names

For those who don't know, the Weak Hero webtoon anglicized a bunch of the characters' first names from Korean to English. They don't do this for newly introduced characters anymore AFAIK, but all the names they anglicized initially have been kept that way.

Since I've gotten a few people asking about the names, so I decided to compile a list of their original Korean names. You can find amost of these on their character profiles on the Weak Hero fandom page, but I figured people would appreciate having a quick reference that is all in one place. Hopefully this helps people learn/connect their original names.

Remember, this is not a full character list, it's for finding the Korean names of the characters that had their names anglicized.

The format will be:

Anglicized Name -> Korean Name (common alternative romanizations will be in parenthesis)

Eunjang High

Alex Go -> Go Hyeontak (Hyun-tak)

Ben Park -> Park Humin (Hoo-min)

Colton Choi -> Choi Hyoman (Hyo-man)

Eugene Gale -> Seo Juntae (Jun-tae)

Gerard Jin -> Jin Gayul (Ga-yool)

Gray Yeon -> Yeon Sieun (Shi-eun)

Phillip Kim -> Kim Pilyoung (Pil-young)

Rowan Im -> Im Juyang (Ju-yang)

Teddy Jin -> Jin Taeoh (Tae-oh)

Daehyeon High

Dean Kwon -> Kwon Hyeokjin (Hyuk-jin)

Jake Ji -> Ji Hakho (Hak-ho | Hagho)

Timothy Park -> Park Taegi (Tae-gi)*

Ganghak High

Jared Sun -> Seon Jongwon (Sun Jong-Wan)

Toby Kim -> Kim Dosik (Do-sik)

Wolf Keum -> Keum Seongje (Sung-je)

Hyeongshin High

Forrest Lee -> Lee Sehan (Se-han)

Myles Joo -> Joo Seungjin (Seung-jin)

Robin Ha -> Ha Minjo (Min-jo)

Kingsley Kwan -> Kwan Seokhyeon (Suk-hyun)

Yoosun High

Harper "Helmet" Ha -> Ha Huicheol (Hee-chul)

Hugo Yoon -> Yun Hoyeong (Yoon Ho-young)

Jack Kang -> Kang Jeongyeon (Jung-yun)

Jimmy Bae -> Bae Jihun (Ji-hun)

Other Recurring/Relevant Characters
