I know I need to calm the fuck down first but one word to describe episode 6: STRESS!!

📍I love seeing Hyun-woo and Hae-in having a...sort of second honeymoon in Germany but I couldn't really enjoy every scene because I'm stressing out at how fucking OBLIVIOUS the Hong family is like bitch y'all are surrounded by snakes and they're so complacent 😭😭😭 I mean it's not really their fault that there are opportunists who'd earn their trust first then slither their way to bite them in the ass, but I just find it ironic at how protective they are at their family business and wealth but they can't see through the REAL people who has every intention to bring them down.

📍Speaking of which, I have read a fan theory somewhere that Mo Seul-hee is the mom of Eun-seong and Da-hye. Could be, OR Grace could be Da-hye's mom considering how Grace acted towards her. But why are they so keen at bringing the Hong family down?

📍Maybe it's just me but I don't think Da-hye is that bad, I have a feeling that she'll eventually come to her senses and take Hyun-woo's side and expose Eun-seong and co.

📍My overthinker/delulu self thinks that Soo-cheol and Da-hye's baby is actually Hyun-woo and Hae-in's kid. I mean, it wasn't shown how they lost their baby...yet. So Hae-in either miscarried, or she gave birth to a still born child? But what if the child is actually alive and one of those evil bitches cooked up some shit to make it seem like Hyun-woo and Hae-in's baby died, and then that baby was registered as Soo-cheol and Da-hye's kid? I know it sounds insane, but we're only on episode 6 so more crazy shit could happen in the future episodes, you'll never know. But my normal self says I've watched too many Filipino dramas growing up (and yes, that shit happens a lot in Filo-dramas).

📍Speaking of that kid, another theory is...what if that kid is actually Eun-seong and Da-hye's? Soo-cheol is a dumbass, and again, those bitches could have manipulated that baby's DNA test result or something. Again, that's just me being an overthinker, also I hate my Filo-drama mindset.

📍Aunt Beom-ja being so concerned about Hae-in and her dad but I also appreciate the fact that she respected her niece's request to not tell anyone about her illness. I also hope that she'll be able to help Hyun-woo clear his name and uncover Seul-hee and gang's dirty little secret.

📍BUT Y'ALL KNOW WHO STRESSED THE SHIT OUT OF ME THIS EPISODE? BAEK FUCKING HYUN-WOO!!! I am so freaking annoyed that he didn't tell Hae-in about the divorce when he had the chance. He was probably worried at how Hae-in would react plus the latter was going through medical treatments so he probably didn't want to put too much stress on her, but Hae-in was bound to find out either way so...yeah I do get why he chose to keep the divorce to himself but he could have just told the truth and suck it up, and perhaps they could communicate better when it comes to issues like this.

📍One thing I noticed about Hyun-woo is that he's brave in so many ways but also a coward on one thing. I mean he talks with Hae-in about nice things and all, and he is his wife's confidante, but I don't think I've ever heard him talk the way Hae-in does, meaning he never had the balls to talk to his wife about the..."unpleasant" side of their marriage. Hae-in was able to talk to him about her illness, the last will and testament that her mom pressured her to write, and Hyun-woo didn't even think about bringing up the divorce papers.

Prior to episode 5, I really thought that Hae-in was the one who shut him out but it was actually the other way around. Wifey may seem cold and nonchalant but if there's one person she'd listen to, it's him. Perhaps he doesn't want to say something that would upset Hae-in but the point is...she's his wife, she's supposed to know what he thinks, how he feels about certain things, even the not-so-pleasant side of their relationship. I really hope that in the next episode or the episode after that he'll be able to communicate better.

📍Hae-in's mom is terrible af. Imagine blaming your own daughter for the death of your son. I mean she didn't deserve to lose a child, but it's unfair to put all the blame on Hae-in (like why?). It's not like she endangered herself on purpose, and she had the audacity to be upset when Hae-in did something nice to her in-laws? Like what is wrong with this woman? Why can't see realize her own mistakes?

📍I kind of teared up when Hae-in was telling Hyun-woo about the things the latter should do when she dies. She could die, and this show might give us a bittersweet ending but when that time comes I'd be really, really hurt. Also, Hae-in confessing that the only reason she wrote her will about Hyun-woo not getting anything should they divorce was so that she'll be allowed to marry him 😭 (just shows she fought hard for him and she'll do absolutely anything to be with him). God I hate her mom! And yes the epilogue was so cute, now we know that they have always been in-love with each other. But I guess...they need a time-out 🤷.

📍Hae-in called Hyun-woo "yeobo" 🥹🥹🥹

OFFICER BLACK BELT

GENRES: Action, Comedy

SUMMARY: A man who is only interested in the ‘fun’ life has to offer finds a sense of duty and responsibility as a parole officer.

THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING: E-sports, gratuitous servings of bbq, bad dye jobs, friend chicken deliveries, friendship, ingenuity, brazen parolees, stabbings, tasers, drones, brave citizen awards, and supportive dads.

HOT TAKE: I'm glad this was a movie and not a series because the main character's motivations and depth is woefully simplistic. Kim Woo Bin is good at being an easy-going guy, but this movie focused almost solely on him being tall and adequately nimble.

Kim Sung Kyun was great as always, balancing his perfected brand of kindness, duty, and decisiveness that we've come to love about him.

My 2000s heart was enamored with the production staff choosing a LESS THAN JAKE song as to play over the introductory montage sequence. A SKA song in a kdrama!

OH! The biggest surprise of this entire film was that Ji Jin Hee's cameo at the very end as the President. Does this mean that this movie takes place in the same cinematic universe as 'Designated Survivor: 60 Days?'

Alienoid: Return to the Future

Movies watched in 2024

Alienoid: Return to the Future (2024, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Choi Dong Hoon

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be honest: I barely remembered anything about the first part, except that it was a pretty fun piece of popcorn entertainment. Now, after a quick recap, I can say this sequel lives up to the first one in that sense. The plot gets more convoluted and some of the twists left me flabbergasted, but the outstanding cast makes it work. As with the first one, my favorite part was the mixture of sci-fi and fantasy elements with the period setting, although the parts set in the present are very entertaining as well. Also, while the CGI leaves a lot to be desired, the sets and costumes are all stunning. Anyway, Alienoid: Return to the Future might not be a landmark in sci-fi cinema nor Choi Dong Hoon's best movie, but it's engaging and fun enough.

Drama Gossip: Queen of Tears

The queen of department stores and her small-town husband weather a marital crisis —until love miraculously begins to bloom again.

Source: Netflix (2024)

This Did Not Go As Plan

What I meant by that, every time I thought the show was going to go a certain way, it does not. This may sound like a complain but it cannot be further than that. Queen of Tears kept surprising me by proving me wrong and that made me like this drama even more than I initially thought I would. I haven't enjoyed a romantic k-drama in so long yet because of how different the romance aspect was in Queen of Tears, it is definitely one of the better romantic k-dramas I've watched in recent years.

I originally watched this drama because of that drunk scene. I wondered what kind of romance this show has to film a scene like that. Imagine my surprise when Queen of Tears began with a severely unhappy marriage. Although the first few episodes were nothing fantastic apart from those comedic scenes, courtesy of Baek Hyun Woo, it was different enough to keep me watching. The romance constantly broke my heart, the drama might have been unoriginal but the way it played out kept me on the edge of my seat all the time. Last but not least, needless to say, the acting was perfection. Honestly, the acting was probably one of the reasons I was captivated by this drama.

All that being said, I simply cannot end my thoughts without a brief discussion on Yoon Eun Sung. I may be in the minority here but I never hated this man. He was annoying most of the time, frustrating some of the time, but he never made me hate him. If I wasn't annoyed or frustrated, I was pitying him. This man is really collateral damage from his mother's schemes. If for once, his mother placed her wants and needs after his, Eunsung could have been in a better place mentally, even if it was for a short while. Unfortunately, he never had the chance with the way he was brought up. Comparing him to his mother, this poor man was not evil, he just...misconstrued his own intentions and act on them in some of the worst ways. I wasn't glad he was killed because he's the villain, I was glad because he finally gets to rest.

To end this off, during the earlier days of Queen of Tears's broadcast, I do believe the show deserves all that hype. Unfortunately, the storyline did fall off near the end. It became a rushed event that we've seen happened in multiple other Korean dramas. The only redeeming factor was the emotions portrayed by the cast. I've never cried so much throughout a 16-episode drama before.

Rating: ★★★★☆

P.S.: Lets be real, Grace was the actual MVP in Queen of Tears.

Officer Black Belt (Mudosilmugwan/무도실무관) - Movie Review

TL;DR – While the action scenes hit, unfortunately, we get a tonally confused film that never quite finds its feet. ⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3 out of 5. Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.Disclosure – I paid for the Netflix service that viewed this film.Warning – Contains scenes that may cause distress. Officer Black Belt Review – Today, we are looking at a fascinating film that, for all…

[mctna2019]

I finish watching "Queen of tears" today and really really love Kim Soo-hyun & Kim Ji-won together. actually the series was beautiful and actors were great too but the story was a bit long and boring, especially in the last two episodes. although, as I said, the couple of this series was really worth watching this series.I hope both continue to shine.

[binging-asian-dramas]

Graceful Friends. 7

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 9

Comparable to: Penthouse (kdrama); Sky Castle (kdrama); The World of the Married (kdrama) the Glory (kdrama)

This drama will definitely not be for everyone. It’s very melodramatic, it’s very soapy. Every character is basically an blackmailing cheating asshat so it’s hard to choose who you want to root for. It’s basically one of those dramas you want to stop watching but can’t seem to 🤷‍♀️

Biography

tw: mentions of murder, death and drug abuse

Noah In-Soo Hwang was born on September 27, 1983, in Busan, South Korea to parents Dong-Hae and Mi-Sook Hwang. Noah was the middle child, sandwiched between an older brother, Sung-Min, and a younger sister, Ji-Eun. But fate, cruel and capricious, had other plans for the Hwang family. In the summer of '88, as Seoul held the Olympics Sung-min, barely a teenager, was found lifeless in an alley near their home, the victim of a senseless act of violence that would haunt Noah for years to come. The loss cast a pall over the family, driving Dong-Hae and Mi-sook to move the family abroad.

And so, at the tender age of five, Noah found himself in Wilmington, North Carolina, trying to adapt to the western world. Noah learned English quickly. In the halls of Chester High School, Noah discovered a passion that would define his life: flight. It was sparked during an air show when he was merely a boy. He dedicated himself to his studies, particularly in subjects that would support a future in aviation. It was there that he met Ellie Pearson—a firecracker of a girl with bright blue eyes and an infectious laugh. Ellie was everything Noah wasn't: loud, impulsive, electric. She was outgoing and impulsive, while he was quiet and reserved. However, Ellie's home life was troubled, marked by neglect and abuse. To cope, she turned to drugs. He cared deeply for her, but despite his efforts, he couldn't help her overcome her addiction. Ellie died during his sophomore year at UNC, leaving him devastated.

After graduation, he set his sights on the sky. He enrolled at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. But the path to the cockpit was neither straight nor easy. Noah's first attempt at the commercial pilot's license exam ended in bitter disappointment, a failure that sent him spiraling into a bout of self-doubt that threatened to ground him permanently. But his friends never let him give up. They cheered him on and told him to keep going. With renewed determination, Noah not only passed his exam but graduated at the top of his class. The years that followed were a blur of regional airlines and red-eye flights. And then, an offer came that would change everything—a position as a private pilot for a tech mogul with more money than God.

But with that, he found himself living in Weehawken, New Jersey, close enough to the Manhattan skyline but far enough to avoid traffic jams. The job was demanding, requiring him to be ready at a moment's notice. And then there was Deja, the mogul's personal assistant, whose quick wit and beautiful smile sent Noah's heart into a tailspin. Their romance burned hot and fast. Before he could catch his breath, Deja was pregnant with twins. On a sweltering August day in 2016, Zephyr and Lyra Hwang entered the world. The moment he held them, Noah knew he would love and protect them for the rest of his life.

Parenthood, however, proved to be a crucible that their relationship couldn't withstand. The late-night feedings, constant worry, and sheer exhaustion of caring for two infants while juggling demanding careers took their toll. Deja began struggling with postpartum depression, which evolved into ongoing mental health issues. It was later revealed she has schizophrenia. The strain became too much, and Noah and Deja eventually separated, where Deja began living in supported housing and the children would live with Noah full-time.

For years, Noah tried to balance his high-flying career with his responsibilities as a single father. But something was missing, a void that no amount of altitude could fill. And so, a few weeks ago, Noah made the decision to return to Wilmington. His sister, Ji-Eun, now a successful restaurateur, along with his parents, welcomed him and his kids with open arms.

tl;dr

Noah Hwang was born in Busan South Korea and moved to the US when he was 5 after his older brother was found dead. He pursued his passion for aviation, becoming a successful pilot and is now a pilot for a billionaire. He has 8 year old twins, Zephyr and Lyra, with his partner Deja. However, their relationship couldn't withstand the pressures of parenthood and Deja's mental health struggles. As a single father, Noah juggled his demanding career with raising his children. Eventually, he returned to Wilmington (in August 2024), where he now lives with Zephyr and Lyra, with Deja living in supported housing nearby.

Bloodhounds

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Bloodhounds (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Kim Joo Hwan (based on the webtoon by Jeong Chan)

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be honest: I'm not usually a big fan of these type of movies/shows and I only started this one because of the wonderful Woo Do Hwan. However, color me surprised, cause I ended up loving Bloodhounds. Sure, this story has been told a million times before, but the bromance, the incredibly lovable characters (and incredibly hateful villains!) and the showstopping action scenes take this show to the next level. I'm telling you, it's a really enjoyable experience.

On top of that, the cast absolutely delivers. The show is filled with knockout (pun intended) performances, there's not a single weak link. You can tell just how hard these actors worked to prepare for all the fights and action sequences. Oh, and I can't leave out Kim Joo Hwan's propulsive directing, which left me breathless in several episodes. I do think the final scene cut off way too suddenly, and the sort-of-time-jump in episode 7 is also rather awkward, but I guess it's understandable, considering all the trouble the show went through during post-production. Anyway, Bloodhounds took me by surprise, and I think most people who like action movies/shows focused on hand-to-hand combat will love this.

[Watched ✔️] "Unlock the Boss" — Watched this for Chae Jong-hyeop. And the drama is not without flaws, but I still like the technological theme and the characterization of Park In-sung as actor-turned-CEO.

[Watched ✔️] "The Forbidden Marriage" — Started this without any expectation, but surprisingly was highly entertained by the female lead's antics. After all, it's Park Ju-hyun and she can surely do comedy. Also, Kim Woo-seok as Lee Shin-won is such a great second lead.

[Watched ✔️] "Crash Course in Romance (One-shot Scandal)" — Classic romcom, and I like it, despite the sprinkle of murder mystery. Jung Kyung-ho as the Math star teacher and involvement of food is just my cup of tea. Also, Chi-yeol’s interaction with the family: Hae-yi & the Uncle is 🤩

[Watched ✔️] "Our Blooming Youth" — A bit hesitant at first to start this despite of Park Hyung-sik, plus the 1st episode is a bit clunky. But I quickly warmed up to the sleuthing theme of the drama and the main couple's dynamic: he respects her skills right off the bat. Too bad that it kinda lost its charm — being a bit too muddled — as the drama progressed. What could’ve been!

[Watched ✔️] “Sacred Divorce” — Cho Seung-woo — Persevered just because of Snu. I like the friendship, attorney Choi, and the ramen lady, but things just…lack something that keeps me engaged.

[Watched ✔️] "King the Land" — Lee Jun-ho — Nothing ground-breaking, but such a good watch when you just want to shut off your brain and stare at Junho in all of his three-piece suits glory. The couple have such healthy relationship & stellar communication too.

[Watched ✔️] “See You in My 19th Life” — I dig the unique concept, but too many repeated gloomy flashbacks! Shin Hye-sun is great as always, and I love the sisters interaction, though. Also, the hints about their previous roles in historical drama (Junho as Yi San & Hye-sun as Queen Cheorin) make me want to pair them up. They’ll be such a powerhouse!
