Title The Defects Spoiler
I am on ep 4. The Dr just used acronym DINK. "DINK" is an acronym that stands for Double Income No Kids,…
Done. I agree with coffeecookie. Cast is lovely. The action is okay, yet crowded. This ain't Jeeja. I did not feel an arc. The story keeps to the plot. Somehow seems to be disjointed. Maybe? K-drama big on flash backs, kinda slap itself some. Cause of how the babies could be multiples, I though "oh this is a flashback." But is just another copy doing a scene. No problem just caught me off guard. Leaves a couple super dynamic, finally, hmmph, scenes short. Someone needed to die to cap the scene. It is worth watching.

Title The Defects Spoiler
I am on ep 4. The Dr just used acronym DINK. "DINK" is an acronym that stands for Double Income No Kids, referring to couples who are voluntarily childless. I have not heard that in some time. It was social media buzz phrase for a while, back maybe 4-5 years ago. My opinion just to this spot, this series has all the right parts. Decent main storyline, the discoveries are interesting, and relevant. Yeom Jung Ah is star at this point. Spot on. Is the baby ordering, the DNA, the reason the males all behave the same (nearly)? Or is it the film director? The MLs also have the same general appearance. I am a binger. But for some reason I haven't really vested in any of the players. Still, I will finish it is good.

Better than 6.5. It is comedy and satire in a way. Jaws mates with Ghost in the Darkness. You get the far far end of both of them. If you start with oh this is quirky; and realize the show does not take itself as a horror drama or anyway serious horror - you'll get the same reaction 'thesaura 73' got below. Even the comments generated are not serious but do show a shared impression - COMEDY, horror thriller. Note not many comments. 14 years ago it was funny. Not sure why it got hit so low with the rating. I am all in with a 7.5...

Title The Furious Spoiler
Jeeja is a guest role. Opening 4 minutes and another one for about 30 secs later. Big disappointment. The way languages are used is silly. English, Mandrin, Filipino, no particular reason for one here one there. That is distracting. Storyline is fine. The cast fit good. The 2 mls and Yang nailed their characters. I am seeing many comments about the action. Lots of action. The first chase and fight scenes are the best in the movie. The bald dude is the most interesting fight scenes. He kinda breaks up the repetitive fighting. At 1:23 the movie just goes off plot and turns into silly violence. There is a story. It ends and the rest of the movie is let's just fight. It is a 7/10 for me. Disappointment of Jeeja tagged as support is frustrating; I started this just to see Jeeja. The fighting is repetitive. Same no name, empty suit bad guys. Same desperate fight.

Title A Bona Fide Killer Spoiler
Wow. Okay good good stuff. I usually don't like end of season add-ons. Leila was a great add. Leila added a thick layer of discovery about Bo Na. The Leila flash backs built a lot of stress and emotions on Bo Na. The crime drama grew with each episode. This show was good all the way. It built up and up towards a strong ending. And delivered. Eps. 11-14 moved me up from 8 to 8.5. I am impressed with the deep drama of ep 14. Expected some, but it surprised me how I connected with the characters. And in K-drama fashion. the ending. This why old white dudes watch K-Drama.

Title Murderer Spoiler
Started this because of Don. Just a fan. I have seen 20+ of his movies. This is not a Don movie. He is just an actor in a one-off role. The theme of this show from opening scene to end is depression. Don projects an aura of horror and terror for most of the movie. The ml teen is one mode the entire movie. In my opinion a below mark performance. The leads act from being depressed. Acts of horror and terror are not isolated, multiple events. I think this movie is fair with a 6.5-7 rating. Only because it breaks from itself. It feels as if the last several minutes were shot because they had to finish the movie before super. An entire scenario added that's got little or nothing to contribute to the story. Completely off rail and the point I said, "oh now I know why it got a low rating". It's dark soul, depressing, mostly violent, with a few moments of teen love trying to squeeze in. If you're not into bullying, depressing, terror, and bloody movies, do not watch it. I watched, but I was soaking in the tub and just needed something to look at. If you are a Kim Hyeon Soo fan, good news she was spot on for her character. Nailed it. But like the rest of the characters, she was depressed, terrified, and for 5 minutes she was happy. So, if you have my passion for MDL content, give it a go. Sadly, I do not recommend this.

Title A Bona Fide Killer Spoiler
Arrrrg! Don't get out of the boat!! My rule - don't watch currently airing shows. I got out of the boat. This is a good show. Kong Hyo Jin, Jung Jun Won, and the rest of the cast are great. For 9 episodes this show roles on, depth in character building and storyline. Some mystery, good action, family fun, a nice bit of humor lite. All good. I thought oh, ep 10 was a step up. The story gets busier with the ins and outs. Who knows, who don't know, who almost knows. Then bang ep 11. Full on K-drama tension. Hyo Jin gets to be the great actor she is. Jun Won is the perfect fit for the emotions. Yea, getting some the emotional investment in my eyes. One of those reactions is full on revenge on the abusers. Don't mess with kids. In rl I ruined abusers lives, put them in jail, it is still a trigger for me. And just to prove my rule, DO NOT GET OUT OF THE BOAT!! Ep 12 hits. Full-on, heavy K-drama emotions. Sad empathy, nervous fear, a touch of "I hate you" for the fartknocker. Now I am stuck. The writer and the cast have me fully vested in Hyon Jin's character. They have done a great job of sticking me with all these emotions until I can see next episode. DON'T GET OUT OF THE BOAT! Ep 11-12 kicked me from 7.5 to 8.5.

Title Extreme Job Spoiler
Amazing. Writing is good. The story is not typical. Storyline is original. The story plot is mostly not predictable. Just when you think you know what's next, your wrong. Not in a weird way, but in "oh yea that could happen". Director let the actors go. Directed scenes not lines. Action is spot on. Martial combat was entirely credible. I just dropped Fiery Priest (Sep 2026) cause the director crushed the actors. Lee Ha Nee was directed to nothing in FP. Here she gets to act, and I dig her in many shows. Crushes it. The cast is great. Where there is supposed to be chemistry there is. This is a drama lite show, for all the right reasons. It does not take itself seriously. Comedy is the fore front. Smart comedy and some goofy comedy. the couple of spots where it is supposed to touch your heart strings, it does. I am on the 8.5 here. Not common for me. It is a refreshing, surprising couple hours of fun.

Title The Fiery Priest Spoiler
I absolutely cannot figure out why this show is popular. I have started this 3 times and not got past ep 4 before dropping it. Pose, pose, talk, talk, priest gets fiery. Rinse repeat. The cast is better than the writing. It lacks suspense. The drama is yelling. The cast is crippled by directing and poor writing. The only thing that catches is the comic relief. Where is the mystery? Anyway, my opinion. Dropped.

Title Going by the Book Spoiler
This is a funny movie. Great K-drama happy ending, in a weird way. Look at the genre above in descript. Now underline, bold, and capitalize - COMDEY. That's all you have to think about. Sure action happens, crime well sorta. COMEDY makes everything just more fun. Don't use four letter words like, logic or consistent. Great cast, directing, and writing. Recommend. 8/10 for me.

Title Scare Out Spoiler
Good movie, almost better. Spy-v-Spy, hidden Bond Villain in the background making things complicated and confusing for the players. Good action, cast good, and I liked the directing. The double death scene was necessary to clean up one plot line. Kinda knew that had to happen. But then it became Spy-v-Spy +1+1. Last 15 mins is trying to put a sudden twist on the dead plot line and revive it. Then +1 plot line that is just a big empty hole at the end. This movie doesn't close any of the plot lines, just left 2 stories in the wind. So, Jaws 2. ?? I don't know. It is worth watching. I am not mad that it was a goofy ending. Closing out the main plot line could have moved my rating up to a 7.5, instead of 7. The other 1.30 hours of movie are definitely worth the watch.

Title Possessed Spoiler
Ep. 1 is one of the worse ep of anything I have seen. It makes no sense. No character development, no story line, random dialog. Out of place scenes. I get the idea. But this don't get there. It's frustrating. I only turned this on to watch Park Ji Yeon. Dropped.

Did you see the series that have 3 season before watching this movie? It is worthy to watch any of those long,…
I didn’t see the series prior. Your community name is excellent.

Title Newtopia Spoiler
I gave it an easy 8. The gore is not meant to be serious. It's just the way it should be. Quirky fun would be my words for it. Have to go back to Red -vs-White Snow zombie to appreciate the fun zombies can be. Cast is great. A few dang it moments, some "oh no not him" moments, and plenty of drama. I recommend giving it a spin, mind you the zombies do die bloody horrible deaths.

Title Gunman in Joseon Spoiler
I thought this show was underrated, at first. It had a real grove for first 10 episodes. Then it was just repeat and rinse for 10 episodes. I ff thru so much because it was flat, same drama pitch over and over. I stop halfway thru episode 22. I just got so frustrated that the series was ending on the same flat repeat of the previous 10 episodes. So yea 7.5 from me. My rating for this series went 8,, 8.25,,8.50..straight down to 7.5. I stayed thru many episodes just because of the cast.

Title She's on Duty Spoiler
Nice movie. It is better than the ratings. Even the description is lacking, not ja fair assessment. Good directing. Cast is great. Couple my favorites, so maybe a bit bias. I will watch this again. It is smooth. Light humor, a couple laughs. Some deep drama moments that could tug at the tears a little. So it's got well done school drama, cop drama, villain drama, and small taste of mystery. Actions scenes on the mark. And the ending very very Korean. I like it. The only thing that went clunky is around the 25-17 minutes left. Probably the place in the movie that got edited to the floor for time constraints. Overall, an 8 for me. Good easy watch, relax and go with the flow.

Title Mad Concrete Dreams Spoiler
Drama is missing. No emotions, just flat all the way. The storyline kinda of peaks around ep4-5. This has to be what the director and writer were after. The cast has some real drama talent in they're show profiles. I like several of the cast. They just were directed to flat... I got half thru ep 12 and dropped. I just couldn't continue to be uninterested in this show. I waited and waited for the drama to show, tension, mystery. Going into each scene you just kinda sat thru drag on to what you knew was coming.
