Yoo Seungho played as the main lead... how can I not watch this drama? Though to be fair, this drama kept making me want to rewatch Ruler so many times due to the many scenes that tend to parallel some of parts of Ruler that amuses me a lot many times. And when I say there was a lot of parallel plots, there was really a LOT.

The character of Kang Roseo had been set up pretty well with her being a former noblewoman who ended up becoming a moonshiner to make a living. The crown prince Lee Pyo also have his own story to which it also connected with the prohibition order as well as the general plot around it.

And above all, Nam Young seemed to hold the biggest mystery that may lead to a clue that tied the three people together. He's quite a cute character (something that Seungho had a natural flair at playing it) and his upright as well as innocent persona was enough of a charm to make you like Nam Young. Though some may find him a bit annoying but that's how he's been raised. It'll be interesting to see how Nam Young would change even more while being with Roseo and Pyo.

The story was quite light-hearted enough and fun to watch. Though the serious plot would start to creep in the more the plot dwelve more into Lee Pyo's past and Nam Young's locked memories. As well as the romance that started to grow between an unlikely pair of inspector and a moonshiner.

Overall, the drama was really a fun watch. And while there was quite some loose ends that remained unresolved like what happened to some people after the truth was revealed, what will Young do with his life now and I'm still curious about Young's true parentage, the drama ended with a very good note. As much as the lovelines of the main and secondary pair ended up not being expanded enough, I like the fact that the romance didn't feel out of place. Young and Roseo made for quite a goofy pair and Pyo-Aejin pair were quite cute. And I really love the overall visuals of the drama that was as beautiful as the poem the drama was named from.

Ever since I learned about this series being made, I've been looking forward to it. Not just because the lead was played by Kim Namgil, but also because it's a story about the first profiler in Korea. And I have to say, I really liked it. But since this drama was based on a real person and real cases, safe to say anyone watching the drama need to prepare themselves to revisit some very well known and familiar cases in which a few had already sparked other dramas like Signal. And in particular, the drama would cover some of the most notorious serial murder cases that once loomed over the people of South Korea.

And I have to say, as much as I've yet read the original book, we can already see how important criminal profiling is in solving difficult cases. Especially with the common occurrences of the use of violence to extract confessions, (which was quite a common scene in past dramas that may reference to real life situations in the past) that can lead to some innocent victims being falsely convicted and allowing the real criminal to slip away unscathed. To people who were quite curious to learn how criminal profiling started in South Korea as well about the many criminal cases that once haunted the country which includes some notorious serial murders, this drama was a good one for you to dive in. Though, as much as the drama is based on Kwon Ilyong's book, there would still be some details that may be fictionalised and dramatised to make it more interesting.

Kim Namgil gave a great performance as Inspector Song Hayoung, the first criminal profiler from the Criminal Behavioral Analysis team. You can really feel the struggle faced by Hayoung as he attempts to read through the minds of notorious criminals in order to give the families of victims of criminal violence some closure as they put a stop to the crimes that were commited by these criminals. In order to do their jobs well, these officers will have to learn more about the criminals they're studying and the task wouldn't be for the weak minds. This drama would give as a glimpse of what it used to be like when criminal profiling hasn't yet be a common occurrences and allow us to better understand how tough the role of profilers were and appreciate the work that they're doing.

The drama had some pretty haunting ost, in which it reflect and enhance the sombre mood and seriousness of the cases. It really felt as if you were being brought back in time when these cases had happened.

This is a really good thriller! The very fact that it featured a deaf witness make this a very unique story.

Being targeted by a serial killer who chooses his victims at random and kill without any reason was a scary scenario normally. Even more when you have a disability that may hinder you to seek help or even to protect yourself. Which is why the situation in the movie was scary.

I have to say that I really applaud Jin Kijoo in acting as a deaf person in this movie. Her acting, as well as the actress who played as her mother were really good at bringing out the tense situation on being targeted by a killer while having a great disadvantage of not being able to hear your suroundings as well as not being able to speak clearly.

It was rare to see a drama tackling the story revolving trauma cleaners; like the first time I've heard of the term it was on some detective story I think and it was a minor mention, so it was great to see one drama that touched this topic.

This drama was really soothing and comforting... especially for people who may have a hard time dealing with deaths of people dear to them and how it affected everyone around them. And I like how the drama had been written and how layered the stories were. Like on one hand we get to see how and what was involved in the trauma cleaning work as well as the untold stories of people who may have died alone with no one to take care of the things they left behind. On the other hand, we're also seeing how through the trauma cleaning work, Geurum and Sanggu were also indirectly attempting to accept the death of their loved ones.

I especially love the focus on Sanggu's character. Like at the beginning he wasn't too keen on becoming a guardian to his nephew and helping out with the trauma cleaning job. Yet as time went on we get to see him getting used to the job and clear his misunderstanding against his deceased older brother.

This is a very pleasing drama with a touch of Korean mythology. For anyone who've watched Goblin before, some of the mythological entities in this drama would certainly be familiar to you such as Grandmother Samshin as well as a goblin, though they won't be the same one as with the former's depiction.

I have to say that the love story setting was a very intriguing one, not to mention the idea that one could use an enchanted portrait to seal an evil spirit that possesed a person granted that it was painted by a painter blessed by the heavens was fascinating. In a way, this reminded me of a similar idea from Joseon Exorcist (in which they used mirrors instead) as well as few other similar dramas dealing with demons and such. To which, I'm really glad that this drama was able to aired completely without having to face the issue that caused Joseon Exorcist to be cancelled.

The CGI effects and cinematography that was shown in the drama was really done well and beautifully made. The paintings and the many magical scenes involving the different deities and demons were so beautifully drawn, it was really a delight to watch the drama based on that alone. I really love how the drama depict scenes of how Cheongi's painting came to life in a very supernatural way that sets it apart from other normal paintings.

Kim Yoojung as Hong Cheongi really brought out the sweetness and innocence of the character as she strive to get people to approve of her artistic talent enough that she was later tasked to repair a portrait once painted by her father. Yoojung also brought out Cheongi's earnestness and desperation as she hoped to save Ha Ram who was possessed by the Demon.

Ahn Hyoseop on the other hand, turned out to look pretty good as a scholar who seem to be supernaturally handsome. He really did look like someone who wasn't quite from this world so it really fit his character. Considering this drama should be his first attempt at fusion sageuk, he really did well in portraying the character. Hyoseop and Yoojung really looked good together and made a very beautiful pair. As the drama tend to have a lot of focus on the eyes, you really can't help finding a strange interest in people's eyes. Especially Hyoseop and Yoojung's eyes whenever their eyes were depicted as normal or when the eyes were sightless or when it was brimming with supernatural energies.

I've finally finished watching this at last. Fair to say, when the live action adaptation was announced, I was worried about how would they approach the show and adapt it into a movie. Since I'm not sure that there would be any plans for any other subsequent continuation and I'm a bit biased as I'm really fond of the live action musical casts.

But the movie turned out to be fine, not really what I'd expected it to be concluded but it was fine enough to be a standalone movie adaptation. Love the CGI effects and the cinematic setting. It would've been nice if there were actually plans to adapt the Soul Society Arc as well, but at least there's the old Rock Musical Bleach to fill that hole.

Was rewatching this drama again so that I might as well write my thoughts on it this time. If you don't mind watching a love story while knowing that it'll have a sad ending, well this drama would be good. I mean, the story did open up from the moment Lady Shin was about to be killed by hanging so that should be hint enough, right? Mind you since this story will involve some very heavy political strive, it might get really hard to watch those bits happening in between the love story.

That said, the love story between Lady Shin Chae-kyeong and Prince Lee Yeok was really so sweet and pure... and later on becoming painful as the battle to secure the throne comes between them. It was really sweet seeing how their love story started from childhood and later rekindled after they grew up and reunited after being separated for so long.

Having watched quite a number of Park Minyoung's work, I have to say that her role as Lady Shin was one of her best roles to date. Yeon Woojin as Lee Yeok also was amazing as he brought out all of the complicated emotions faced by Lee Yeok for having to struggle between protecting his love and the throne.

This movie was listed as an Action/Comedy genre but really the comedic parts were barely noticeable and were more cute than comical. That's fine to be honest as it added some charm points to the characters and made them lovable.

Jo Jungsuk as Yongnam was very adorable as a character. It's very cute to see him very passionate about his hobby to keep practicing his skills and maintaining his fitness. In which it ended up being quite useful during his attempt to save his family and himself from the dangerous toxic gas.

Yoona as Yongnam's ex who also used to take part in the rock-climbing/mountaineering hobby makes a great counterpart to Jungsuk's character. It was so cool to see them climbing walls and jumping from building to building in order to reach safety, using the skills that they know. It was a terrifying experience to go through but they still braved it out and still managed to selfless whenever they found other people more in need of saving than themselves. It made their characters so endearing and makes you wanna cheer for them to success in saving themselves. It was really heartwarming especially when you see so many people trying to help them by sending out their own drones to find them.

This movie was really fun and keeps you on your toes to see how the fate of the characters will turn out in the end. It's a really good disaster movie with great action that'll keep you rooted on the spot. And the Superhero song at the end really wrap the whole package and provide a satisfying ending to the movie.

I usually don't frequently watch movies or shows that were like autobiographical accounts of real life people simply because I can't bear watching if anything bad happened to the people shown in the show, since it's based on real life events. But sometimes I do brave through it since one should try to learn about the past and understand the history of things that shaped the present.

That said, it was interesting to see how the freedom fighters in the past try to fight against the colonist at its own land. Park Yeol was indeed an intriguing person and his love affair with Kaneko Fumiko was really so sweet. It's amazing to witness how Park Yeol continued to fight for his country and in the process enlightening even the local Japanese allies to try to change their country.

Lee Jehoon never ceased to amaze with every role he played. He really brings out the eccentricity of Park Yeol's personality as well as strength of character.

Never thought I'd be able to see the Jinchu arc made it into the live action adaptation. So when the new movies were announced I was really elated as the Jinchu arc was one of my favourite arc in the manga, and half of me did wished to see that arc to appear in the live action. Especially since for the earlier three movies, the live actions did have certain parts that they changed in order to fit all the important plotlines while trying to stay close to the original story.

That said, it's been a long while since I've read the manga... yet I am glad to see some of the familiar plots reappearing in the live action almost exactly as it originally did in manga. And it intrigued me to see the parts that was changed and reimagined in order to fit the set amount of time for the movie. I was delighted to see the return of the Oniwabanshu members as well as certain surviving members of the Juppon Gatana who ended up fighting on the same sides. Not to mention the unexpected Seta-Himura combo was really amazing to see and enjoy. And I also love seeing more glimpse of Tomoe-Kenshin plotlines alongside the conflicts with Enishi.

I really enjoyed the movie and I'm looking forward to The Beginning as we get to see more of the past relationship Kenshin had with Tomoe.

Im already liking what im watching. I still haven't started on Season 3 but just finished S2, but I already felt going well for now. I loved the fact that Season 4 brought back the same feel I got from the first season.

The dynamics between Gwonjoo and Derek Jo really felt reminiscent of her dynamic with Moo Jinhyuk, and I'm looking to see them working together. Not to mention that I'm looking forward to Daeshik's return to the team as he tried to overcome his trauma from his last encounter with Mo Taegu.

And while it's too soon to assume that the villain this time would also share similarities to Taegu aside from the interest in Gwonjoo's abilities (not to mention that the Circus man also had the same ability), I'm looking forward to to see more of what the series could show in the coming episodes!

Finally managed to finish watching this drama at last. Took me like a while to watch the first half of the series when it was released and then I ended up putting the series on hold for almost two years before picking up this series back.

For someone who truly got into the first season for the unique crime-solving cases and the relationship between Kang Gwonjoo and Moo Jinhyuk as they hunt for the true killer of their loved ones, it certainly get a bit hard to pick up the new season when half of the team members were different. This time, Jinhyuk left the team for his son's treatment and his former team leader takes the mantle to lead the Golden Time Team. Yet before they could even start anything Team Leader Jang was murdered and they ended up transferring to Pungsan to investigate the case.

Well, to be fair... we did still mostly retain the core team from the original Golden Time Team save for Jinhyuk, Daeshik and Officer Oh. And after the events on first season, the remaining members of the GT dispatch teams were in good terms with Gwonjoo. Which is good. Since with a new workplace and work environment, the team will once again face similar issues as they did prior when Gwonjoo first started the special team.

And for this new season, we also get a new Team Leader to lead Golden Time... in the form of Detective Do Kangwoo. At first, I have to say that Kangwoo had a slight different presence compared to Jinhyuk. While Detective Do did appear to be as crazy as Jinhyuk used to be after the death of his wife, Kangwoo was a bit more wild and aggressive compared to the former. And because of that, for people who were used to seeing Moo Jinhyuk leading the team may take a bit of time to get used to Kangwoo.

Unlike the first season, this second season's plot focused more on a group of people seeing revenge towards the police and the Golden Time Team by committing serial crimes that at first appeared to be random. And later on, the plot move towards a targeted attack on Detective Do specifically. In a way, the second series give off a different vibe that you used to get in the first season that may seem off to some. As if the quotes that appear at the beginning of each episode didn't already hint at it.

After a while, you'll start to get used to seeing Detective Do as we start to learn more about him. Even as far as convincing yourself that he might actually be a good addition to the Golden Time Time. And as the series went on, you'll realise that there's more secrets that needed to uncover on the true nature of the people who were targeting the team for revenge. But I guess we'll have to see the third season to see what happens next.

Overall, I have to say that the second season was intriguing. While it wasn’t as tense as the first season or as cathartic in terms of what you ended up feeling after the team successfully save anyone, it certainly served as a good base to introduce the new characters as the plot going full force on the third series. Have to say that it really hits the emotions hard to have a character that you start to get attached to from the first season be killed so brutally so early in the second season but it really felt good to see the Golden Time Team in action again.

This movie is so fun AF

Finished yet another of Lee Jehoon movies lol, I'm on a roll! Honestly I have to say that either Jehoon was really blessed to be cast in some really good production or he really had a knack at choosing what kind of production that he was gonna be part it. Because really, a lot of the movies he's in that I've watched so far always turned out surprisingly beyond what could've been expected at first glance. Like you'd think that this movie was just about grave robbers stealing artifacts and national treasures for their own profits... but you probably wouldn't expect that these same grave robbers would end up doing a major heroic deed!

Like at first as the movie opened up, we were introduced to the main character, Kang Donggu who may appear to just be a simple grave robber who just want to steal artifacts for his own profits. To which later on he ended up entangled with people who may end up being out of their leagues. At first glance, the whole setting might seem to be uninteresting but you can't be more mistaken about that! The adventure that unfolds afterwards turned out to be as exciting as the original Indiana Jones trilogy!

Lee Jehoon as Kang Donggu was really a good fit for him, like it felt that the character was really written for him and only him. I really couldn't imagine anyone else who could play Donggu better other than Jehoon. Jehoon really made the character to be so charming and quirky yet also have a certain depth as you find out what kind of dark past that Donggu had that made him be so good at being a grave robber. Shin Hyesun as Curator Yoon was really amazing. And seeing how convincing she was while having to speak Chinese and Japanese fluently like a native really shows how good she was as an actress.

Jo Woojin as the Korean Indiana Jones was also so charming. Like I knew him from Goblin, he was so cool as Secretary Kim but he was so charismatic and funny in this movie it was really fun seeing him being paired with Jehoon as the movie's dynamic duo. Im Wonhae was really so funny as the Shoveller, I swear whenever I see him in any show he'll always makes me laugh.

This movie was really funny and exciting and seriously had plenty of colourful characters that you can't help loving. I have to say that this movie immediately become one of my new favourite amongst many other movies that I've watched.

Pretty cool movie, I really love the noir vibe. The visuals felt like seeing an animated movie that came into life, which was the best kind of noir environment. Hard to believe that the movie was made in 2016, instead of... like few decades earlier.

Making Hong Gildong a detective gave the character a unique kind of appeal compared to how the character was usually written, even more as an eccentric detective that moves like a ghost. Lee Jehoon really brings Hong Gildong's character to life with his portrayal of an eccentric thief-like detective with a mysterious past. Not to mention carrying a painful past.

I love the fact that the movie had Hong Gildong having to go around with two kids on tow in order to locate the person who had ties to his past. Really love the interaction they have between them as Gildong slowly started to open up his heart to the kids despite the kids being the grandchildren of his enemy.

Go Ara was really fit for her role of Chairman Hwang, like she really brings out the classy aura of the person who supported Hong Gildong from the shadows. And I have to say that Kim Sunghyun as the main villain was really cool; like some anime villain archetype, complete with his shiny glasses.

An amazing drama from start to finish ❤❤❤❤

When I first heard of the concept of the drama, I immediately thought about a minor plot point from Korean Odyssey where the FL used her supernatural ability to make a living by selling haunted houses after cleansing them out of bad spirits. That idea was quite underused in that drama since it's more focused on the character and its Monkey King lore so to have an actual series that focusing on the exorcism itself and the stories of haunted houses and ghosts was really a great thing.

I love the fact that Hong Jia was not just a gifted exorcist but also a strong fighter (which is necessary considering the nature of their jobs) unlike how the character in Korean Odyssey who can't really fight on her own. It was a refreshing change to have a strong FL character like Jia who could stand on her own, despite some disadvantage that she may have. Jang Nara really brings out Jia's strength of character as well as vulnerabilities to the fullest and made us want to care about Jia's journey throughout the series.

Oh Inbeom also was quite an interesting character as well as a strong psychic who ended up becoming a conman due to his past. And it was fun seeing how Hong Jia and Oh Inbeom's life started to change the more they work together as a team.

The ghosts and haunted houses and the plot revolving around them also were quite interesting as we see the different reasons why these people become unrested spirits and how Jia and Inbeom would try to release them from suffering. And we also get to see some sad or despicable tales on why the deaths happened and see how some evils from one's greed and selfishness brought harm onto themselves. And by trying to ease those spirits' suffering, our leads continued to learn more about themselves and attempt to break free from their sorrowful pasts that caused them to lock their hearts away from others.

Sell your Haunted House is a refreshing tale about exorcists in modern times and it had been an enjoyable journey for me to be able to get to know these lovable characters and stories.
