Lee Joon Gi is certainly the master action actor

How interesting is this. The finale for me fails to fire. Too many rushed ideas all at once without the background information. Lee Joon Gi is still fabulous in his role of Eunseom/Saya. But somehow the ending doesn’t strike the right cord for me. Arthdal carries on with Eunseom as the King but for me this part of the plot seems weak.

I still really enjoyed Arthdal Chronicles and have watched it several times already. I'm glad Eunseom and Tanya get their happy ever after but I'm sad for Saya. He got a bad deal all the way.

I have grown to like Saya. He has never been loved. He is a complicated person with deep seated hurts. Even the King tried to kill him and failed. Without his help Eunseom would not have been able to save Tanya. He has a certain charisma but also a ruthlessness about him but I believe that this is his survival mode. He has inferiority complex and doesn’t know that his carriage and presence is stunning. Now I'm waiting for the background about his celestial item "the mirror". Bring on the next series where we can watch our favourite action actor Lee Joon Gi stun us with his scintillating and breath-taking stunts and knock us out with powerful, mesmerizing and hypnotic countenance.

Keep watching till the very end

Review: Black Knight (2023)
11 July 2023
When I watch Kdramas I do it with the idea that I’m here to be entertained and I’m not here to criticise the making of the series. If I feel happy and the story flows my way. I like it. If the story is fragmented or boring I just leave and go watch another. Often you have to use your imagination to fill in the gaps. It is after all a work of fiction. This is only a 6 episode series so it is filled with gaps but I find it still understandable and interesting. You know it is my fave genre, Science fiction fantasy, here this is a future polluted world. So far I like it. It leaves enough clues for me to fill in the gaps.

5-8 is like a deliveryman warrior who is suddenly thrust into a mystery of these disappearing youth. They have been kidnapped. He becomes involved because one of the victims is known to him. He also becomes subtlely accused of the crime of a kidnapping gone wrong and the victim is killed. He is the first one on the scene and saves the refugee who was in the house almost fatally wounded.

He begins his own investigation. For myself it is intriguing because it is easy to see that these events could happen. The refugee(Kang Yoo Seok Sa Wol) he rescues want to become a deliveryman like him. 5-8 sponsored and trains him for the job. The tests ( Kang Yoo Seok
Sa Wol)goes through are brutal and life threatening but he manages to get into the finals.

He has to fight a much stronger and bigger man. It is a no holds barred fight. I leave to you to find out the result. The whole world is watching and waiting. Meanwhile 5-8 is trying to track down what has happened to the kidnapped youth.

The fight reminds me of Lee Joon Gi fighting the bigger man on “Again my Life”

All of the delivery men are too late.

I really like this Kdrama, exciting and holds my interest. The fighting is brutal and the story line adequate. Watch it if you want to see and dynamic, fast moving and gripping short adventure….only 6 episodes.

As it nears the end I get really anxious for the deliverymen as they are on the wrong side of the law. Will they be eliminated? The last episode is a tough one to watch. It’s a scary and tense watch.

This is kdrama not America .....where the main actor always wins. Keep your cool and keep watching to the end.

A documentary like thriller.

This drama is kinda like a documentary because it shows a large part of the wilderness and history of the area but then it’s also like a thriller as it takes us right into the minds of the people and actors in this drama. It just hooks you in. It is so outstanding. I have loved it from the very beginning . It’s a mystery, thriller. There are so many well known actors who are awesome in this.

What is happening in this area is that many people go missing. It is popular for a variety of reasons. Hikers, Trampers, sight seer, plant collectors, snake collectors, suiciders and even murderers who cover their murders by making it look some kind of accident. This is whom the lead actors are looking but it is very difficult for them,

We are only in episode 5 and my goodness what a shake up there has been in this short time.

This is so very stressful but so incredibly superb. Cinematoloy is stunning. Scenery takes your breath away.

So many tragedies one after another, Reminds me of our cultural saying"I am the river and the river is me. I am the mountain and the mountain is me”. She tried to leave but the mountain keeps calling her back.. Come home!! Come Home!! I feel like that.

Every time an episode end I can’t help but think. So good.

This drama is not for the faint hearted. Lucky none of of my fave actors are in it or I’d be distraught. I can watch like an ordinary viewer thinking that this is a documentary and I’m seeing it as if it has already happened and this is a reenactment. That is my way of thinking about it. I love it so much. One of the more written scripts. Congratulations writers I don’t often say it so treasure my words.

He is so staunch, relentless and dauntless and fearless.

Wow! The opening shows Joon His impressive martial Arts skills……but no subtitles yet. I know how Viki works. First day watch with no subtitles, next day watch again with subtitles so you get a double dose of his magic. Just awesome and amazing just to watch him at work once more. Makes me so happy. He is so staunch, relentless and dauntless and fearless. His magnificent skills are showcased in that first episode, but he is worked over first by two larger men and although he beats them he meet another larger man with even stronger skills. He almost chokes him to death but then his  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills come to the fore when he is on the ground. His opponent is much larger and stronger than him and flips him even when LJG has dislocated his shoulder. He (the opponent) viciously beats him in the face injects him with a drug and throws him over the side of the high building that they have been fighting on. As he fall he has visions as the cityscape flashes before as he falls. He finds himself standing back on that building watching his killer smoking. He is puzzled and sees a woman in red standing beside him. Is this a reaper? She shows him his past and explains his purpose. She sends him back in time to his school days where he was working in a convenience store. He is amazed with his transformation. Memories of his parents flood his mind and how he mistreated them when his mum always left him breakfast when she went to work early in the morning. Then one day they die and he is sorry for his misconduct In his return to life he runs all the way home to find them still alive. He is so happy to be able to repent for his behaviours. They are amazed with his new actions. They think that they are dreaming. He vows to be a better son and person. Later at school he has a vision of his parents death. He knows the date of their death and wonders if he can stop it. Is he trying to stop them from going to work on that day but fails? So he hurries to meet them when he knows the time and place of the accident where they are killed. He gets there before the car comes and his parents appear. He remembers everything about his previous life. He had looked up all the details of his parents demised so knows exactly what happened. He goes to wait outside his parents work place for them. He walks home with them. He stops them from being hit……..or does he.
Well that what I got from it without subtitles.

”The most important thing is what you have in your heart."

Just started this but seems like the contemporary modern Japan is clashing with the traditional. I’m interested in culture so this has got me hooked. Such an interesting study on what is happening to Japanese children in 2010 and now reflecting on Japan in 2021 and the Covid-19. I can see why the Japanese want the Olympics to carry on in spite of the pandemic. Have they become robots?

It discusses how the calligraphy of the written letter convey feeling. I remember doing calligraphy with my class when I was teaching. Calligraphy has a freedom of expression not found so much in our cursive writing but it is possible to analyse that English text as well and get the feelings of the writer. The writing itself tells a story.

The Shodo competition is where you have to face your inner self you have to cooperate with your team mates. They want to take part in it. Their teacher gives them permission to enter. He is an out there extrovert with new and different ideas to the normal tradition Japanese. There is only three of them in the club. They need five people to be able to participate.

They go out recruiting. One a girl who wants to lose weight and a boy who like Shinko. The boy get in an accident breaks his leg and can’t participate. They need another member.These are the members of the club: Shinko Sumida, Takuya, Misato Satsukawa, Tohko Tenyru, Mimiko Iijima, Michiru Takamizawa came in at the end to make up the numbers but already a great calligraphter.

Their teacher(mr Yashiro) said”The most important thing is what you have in your heart. You can give a small light of hope for the world.”

Their first team practice is a shambles but so hilarious. Everyone has a story to tell. Shodo is a way of telling your story.

The education system has the herd mentality with no room for individuality or creativity. No wonder so many Japanese young people commit suicide when they cannot come up to the high academic standards no matter how hard they work. They say stay in the given box or you become a loser. How many times did I tell my children in my class “even if you are not clever or academic gifted, you have other talents. Pursue those. You are not a failure! You can speak two languages. You are bilingual. Bilingual speaker are divergent thinkers.” Sadly in this story in Japan. Divergent thinkers are not valued.

Get a bit sad near the end when comes the day of the Shodo Competition demonstrations. They were stunning in their creation of NO SURRENDER!

Don't give up on your true love

like these time travel movies so I’m Looking forward to this one. This is so funny and not overly serious like “Moon Lovers”
Gong Seung Yeon/Song Soo Jung And Lee Jong Hyun/On Dal are so funny and now the Kim Yeon Seo/Princess Pyung Gang has turned up. Her assistant managers Lee Jae Jin/Byeon Sam Yong was in the Combi and accidentally travel back in time with her. The combo has got a mind of its own. Is she the only one that can drive it?

Ahn Bo Hyun/Moo Myung the Princess bodyguard is with her. They just dug the way out of her bedroom where she had been imprisoned by her father for 18 years. ( Kim Yeon Seo/Princess Pyung Gang) She thinks the combo and the people are there to take her away.

This is an awesome magical mystery tour. Seems like that combi has control of everyone who get in it.

Those were terribly cruel old days. Nothing about the good old days. It was a very harsh life. How many times has he got to save his mother.

I haven’t written that much about this drama but I love it. The first part was humorous and fun. The last 7 or 8 episodes the tempo starts to heat up and the two pairs of lovers are stressed to the max as what they are doing is changing history. As a viewer you want the lovers to be together but you also see the impossibility of their situation. The magic combi is back fully repaired after its trip back to the future. So anything can happen now because as a viewer you already believe that the combi can do anything after all it going from the past to the future then back again. So you live on that hope that it can do miracles. Writers kudos to you writer Kim Soo Jin the plot is so cleverly written.

Now I have watched”River Where the Moon Rises “ I understand this kdrama so much better and I want to watch it again and add to this review. This is the drama to watch when you are going through a depressive state and need cheering up. It is so funny, amusing and entertaining. It’s also very clever, inventive and many-sided. I love it.

The actors in here are playing two roles one in the past and one in the present time. Its a bit repetitive in parts but still very excellent. Its so funny and crazy and awesome. That crazy vain man got his comeuppance.

After a history of almost kisses the main actors finally kiss on that beautiful hill after flying a kite. It was was a gorgeous moment of the drama. Then there was a rash of passionate kisses later in the drama but as history began to change Oh Dal began to disappear.

This drama is so worth rewatching.

He is a consigliere member of a Mafia family

He arrives in Korea and straight away the people he meets rip him off. They don’t know that he was part of the mafia in Italy. Now they have illegally taken away his building. They don’t know what they have done. What he will do to get it back.

Oooooh! It’s exciting and fun. They are underestimating him at every turn. They don’t know the terrible things he’s done in the name of the mafia.

Song Joong Ki looks so clean cut, sleek and immaculate but his favourite means of revenge is fire and intimidation. He recruits his team of collaborators from those hurt by the chemical firms.

I love this drama so much Song Joong Ki has transformed himself into this pseudo-villain and he and Jun Yeo Bin have this Bonnie and Clyde vibe going on. It’s so sexy, provocative and vexatious. Wow! Just want the episodes to keep flowing forward. Every week is like a taster for the next exciting event and experience. I can’t wait for what they are going to reveal next, because the real villain has materialized and shocked us all.

Some episodes are just crazy and Kim Yeo Jin/Choi Myung Hee is just the wrong actress for this. I don’t find her that believable in that part. I just find her pathetic and inadequate when she overacts. Not like Song Joong Ki/Vincenzo Cassano he is so cool, handsome and has that dangerous vibe going on.

I like Vincenzo Cassano and Hong Cha Young’s relationship of equality. She is what we call in New Zealand, a hardcase, funny yet super intelligent. She has guessed that he is in the Mafia. She is getting feelings for him but they don’t have chemistry yet. She is such a comedian.

Vincenzo Cassano biological mother is dying and on the execution list for a murder she didn’t commit. He has been ignoring her because she abandoned him and that is why he ended up with Italian adopted parents, but I think that he is beginning to get compassion for her.

This drama has it’s comedic moments then back to serious and deadly. Roll on next week

Well yeah! There was a bit of a lull mid drama but the real villain has hotted things up with a spate of killings. The brothers Jang Jun Woo (Mr Lunatic) and and Han Seo (Mr Wimp) but I think that both of them are totally psychopathic. The older brother has Daddy issues that haven’t really been explained or I missed it.

Vincenzo Cassano has mummy issues stemming from him being abandoned in and orphanage when he was young but he coming to the realisation that his mum had reasons for it that he didn’t know of when he was a child.

I was looking at the name Vincenzo it reminds me of incendio.

Shades of my Harry Potter experiences.

This cold hearted man is getting feelings for this girl that he has no chemistry with the leading female. Yikes! no way!

He is devilishly handsome and has a quirky wry smile.

Review:-Tunnel (2017)
The music is so scary and their police methods so suspect. They go too far with their police interviews. Hitting people is just plain bullying. He is so bad tempered but good to his wife. He loves her so much. In the future time he was looking for her and didn’t know he had a child. She was distraught when he disappeared and returned to the tunnel to look for him while he was trying to get back to his own time. She heard him screaming out her name. This story is just fascinating.

Choi Jin Hyuk/Park Kwang Ho is so good at the scary science fiction fantasy stuff. So he is going to go into the future, wooo. Mind-blowing brain teaser, you can lose your space trying to figure it out. He was chasing a murderer in the tunnel who knocks him out when he wakes up he keeps going through the tunnel after the culprit and he went through a time warp 30 years into the future. So the perpetrator must be there.

When he heard that his wife remarried after 20 years. It brought tears to his eyes and he wept slow sad bitter tears but his love for her kept searching. He discovered what happened to her. He is going through an emotional mill.

Choi Jin Hyuk is as solid actor as these tough guy hard man and hard hearted characters. What a heart throb!! He is devilishly handsome and has a quirky wry smile.

This Lee Yoo Young/Shin Jae Yi as a psychology professor and profiler she is so great thorough persistent. A true nerd.

So he has come through the time tunnel to catch the serial murderer is my theory. Surely the forensic professor is not the killer? Getting so creepy now.

I have to keep rewinding so that I keep this story of mystery and intrigue straight in my own brain. It becomes stressful and more complex and thought-provoking as the story progresses. It one that you just can’t stop watching. It’s becoming a thriller. It was all full of facts and data in the beginning but now you are becoming emotionally involved. Half-way through on episode 8.

This is unfathomable and crazy. When he runs into the tunnel after the culprits strange time change happens.

I loved this drama so much.

Say that I love you to the person you love.

Just started the new one. It’s got a whole different vibe to the first one with even better graphics but hate the dubbed American English accents. I’m watching on Netflix. I prefer the Korean with subtitles. Can’t get my head around the changes yet. Jojo is still so beautiful. The visuals still outstanding, beautiful spring blossoms this time trees just filled with gorgeous blooms and bending branches. Dramatic contrast of the two seasons. Love Alarms computer graphics , magnificent and appropriate for the drama.

There is a lot of symbolism in this drama. We all go through a dark tunnel to come into the light.

That Hwang Sun Oh is just so selfish and arrogant. I forgot about persist and annoying. Please Jojo don’t fall for him, but what’s the odds. Don’t we always fall for the bad boy. Oh! I’m going to.

Just think if we really did rely on a “Love Alarm” in our lives and never actually express how we literally feel.

Lee Hye Young is her rock of true love and friendship. Why can’t she love him. So sad! Why do we make those same mistakes.

Then there are her predictions on her blog “The Ringing World.” Whatever she writes in it seems to come true. How is this happening. I’ve forgotten who knows she is the author.

Stephen McCarty from the South China Morning Post opined that "Love Alarm is not only an innocent love story but also deals with data protection, gay rights, the extreme consequences of heartache, and smartphone invasion.

It is a very clever statement of the world today.

They didn’t know her true story. Cheon Duk Goo was the that understood her the most. He knew sadness and heart ache

I loved Kim So Hyun as a child actor and she has gone from strength to strength. She embraced her childhood memories and sorted herself out

Can be confusing with it back and forth on the timeline

Review:-Alice (2020)

I had never heard of Alexithymia until I watched The Flower of Evil and now its in this drama. It is a good one too.

This is so good. I love these time travel. Fantasy Science Fictions they hold my interest completely. I love these one when I just can’t stop watching and I can’t let myself got to sleep. Just totally complicated perplexing thriller

I find it unbearably fascinating and can’t stop watching in spite of the back and forth of time and the different dimensions that they go into and the differences it makes to the main actor. It get really creepy as it start to wind up to the end.

How many times did he come back to find his mum dying?(?5) So scary and terrifying. Wow but awesome acting. It is so good

Then what happens in the last episode it all turns to custard and doesn’t make sense and drives me totally crazy. I have to think about this ending. Yes he did everything I wanted him to do but I have so many questions.
I loved it so much until the end.
You viewers out there you have to make up your own mind but let me tell you I wasn’t happy about the ending after all the time I had invested in watching. Later I might come back and write some more comments but for now. I’m over it.

Love and Marriage is a shared responsibility

When just started this and I was thinking is this really the new culture of Korea, unfilial and disloyal. Women now work and don't have time pamper and take care of their husband needs physically and emotionally. That daughter is going to get her karma talking to her mother like that.

I've watched it for awhile now and I see why other viewers are frustrated with the men on this drama. Those women work so hard and are just too tired to fully take care of their husbands physical and emotional needs but the women need support too. As a woman in New Zealand there is only so much we can put up with and we are not going to allow ourselves to be treated as a slave and a maid for long periods of time. It made me think no wonder all of these Asian girls seek husbands and partners from foreign lands. Where they serve with humility, piety and graciousness. These men in Korea do they really just seek solace else where without trying to find a solution at home? It's pitiful. This drama is showing Korean men in a bad light. I keep watching hoping for a change of heart or for karma to hit them.

It is so different to our lives in NZ where we are taught that women can do anything and men and women have often got shared roles.....like our PM for example. Men tend to help share the homemaking chores when both of them are working or even men are househusbands and we think nothing of it.

Mysterious Romance

No bad I’ve just finished the first episode. I like these fantasy dramas because anything can happen. I saw a preview on Facebook and it raised my curiosity so here I am. That Lee Dong WookLee Yeon | [Mountain Spirit of Baekdudaegan] is totally a spunk so I want to watch him. I wonder if he’s on my list of actors that I like. He’s got that vibe.

It is a fascinating story of a thousand year love affairs between this fox and human, but then is she really a human. He has waited for her to reincarnated. White in the meantime he has been the reaper for wayward creatures.

So far I really like it but I have lots of questions about this relationship. Did he kill er in her previous life.

Exhilarating

We have been waiting for Lee Joon Gi return nearly two years.

So it’s started with him tied up underwater in a swimming pool. So the first minute already tension for us viewers seeing our favourite in that position - locked up underwater struggling.

The daughter is scared of her grandmother. The grandparents aren’t very friendly no wonder she is scared. They are stoic and taciturn.

3 Aug 2020
So far I just love it. It's exciting and scary although he is seen to be a killer I can see how he can justify what he does. During his school life he was harassed by bullies and then in his young adult life one of his friends stabbed him and stole his wallet. I love his acting and the drama certainly keeps you on your toes and wanting to know more. So we are waiting for the next episode.

The kiss was sweet and beautiful and yes very hot but I thinks it's normal for married couples who still totally love each other to show passion in their private kisses in their own home.These two have very strong chemistry so why not show it.  Love this drama so much so far.

It’s so exciting and scary and I’m going to say it now right in the beginning I don’t believe out hero that we love so much is a killer. The part where he is tied up underwater is so terrifying.

17/08/20
My theory so far:
That Lee Joon Gi’s acting, his eyes and faciles are always descriptive and tell so much about how he feel and thinks. The way he gazes, concentrates and the movement of the muscles on his face. Each drama he plays is so ingenious, tremendous, and incredible. As I have been watching this drama progress I believe his sister is the one who killed the guy she was protecting her self from being raped. Then the brother takes the knife and acts that he is the one who killed the head man. That’s my theory so far. I’m excited to discover the real truth of behind this brutal saga of mysteries, but I don’t believe that he is a killer everything so far is circumstantial. I believe that he truly loves his wife and child but because of his experiences he thinks that he is the same as his father.

Woah! These two Moon Chae WonCha Ji Won and Lee Joon Gi/Baek Hee Sung get some hot and heavy action in this drama. It is actually more natural that this happens as they have been separated for awhile and they have both been through a traumatic experience. So it’s normal to release all of their tension throughout their sexual expressions. Too much Lee Joon Gi, bring it on. This story is compelling and intriguing. It is holding me spellbound and captivated with all of its twists and turns.

Seo Hyun Woo Kim Moo Jin has met up with his first love (Jang Hee JinDo Hae Soo) who is also Baek Hee Sung’s sister. He’s all nervous and babbling like a lunatic. He’s getting all romantic and she is flabbergasted. Then she tells him she killed the village Headman. (Just like I suspected). Seems like the sister loves and adores her little brother and just like he feels the same about her. She’ll do anything to protect him same as him to her. So they are very close siblings but haven’t kept in touch. So they will protect each other. They have always protected one another. He listens to her and follows her directions as he the younger sibling.

Baek Hee Sung is perceptive he knows that Kim Moo Jin is still attracted to his sister and is getting irked with him giving sad eye and long looks at his sister. So he tells him that his real objective is to get back with his sister. Then he reminds his sister that she and Kim Moo Jin broke up because he said she had creepy eyes. Kim Moo Jin called him abnormal, useless and has no human feelings.

Meantime Baek Hee Sung and Cha Ji Won are going to visit the fathers old workshop at night time (scary). She is putting him through hell. She put him under psychological pressure, she is killing him. Personally as a viewer I can’t help but feel for him. In other words I just can’t stand it. Its like she is deliberately setting him up to break him down. Lee Joon Gi you are an outstanding actor.
He(LJG) is unbelievably handsome now and his multi-talents make us cling to him like there is no tomorrow. Each moment watching him perform is ecstatic, rapturous. and thrilling. He enchants and delights us. We can't wait for the next moment of his drama. At the moment its "Flower of Evil".
He said that he doesn’t love his wife Cha Ji Won. He doesn’t know what love feels like. So sad because she heard him say it.
The music is so powerful and compelling in this drama that it moves your heart and makes you want to stop and just listen to it. It goes so perfectly with the visuals.

03/09/20
I knew from the very beginning that this drama was going to upset me and make me cry but because of Lee Joon Gi I couldn’t resist watching it. Now I’ve got to the part where he’s heart broken and so who else’s is heart broken. Yep! All of us viewers are just distraught that he’s having a bad time. He is in such pain he can not leave her. He doesn’t know that it is because of love for her.

I know how Moon Chae WonCha Ji Won feels as her husband is going into unknown turf to find the truth of his past. It is so stressful. I’m holding my breath that we can get past this. I feel for the two of them. They are both impressive actors drawing us all into this web of deceit, intrigue, lies and coverups. A puzzle that is slowly unfolding.

Finally and slowly the story is starting to come out and we are learning who the bad guys are. An exceptional and superior story is being revealed here by these magnificent characters. Every episode is electrifying, thrilling and dramatic. I’m hardly making it pass episode 11.
Love this. When he starts crying he can't stop. Reminds me of myself. Then he doesn't know why he's crying so terribly, sadly sweet. He has loved her for 14 years but it the first time that he has acknowledge his deep and passionate love for her. Then knowing it makes him cry. He's hidden it even from himself but his actions have spoken louder than his words. She has always known it.
I keep watching bits of this drama over and over drinking in every moment of his scenes. I’m so addicted.
In the episode 11, Do Hyunsoo finally realizes his love for Cha Jiwon and lets out an emotion for the first time, breaking down in tears. It’s as if the floodgates just opened, he was completely awash with emotions, a mix of confusion, fear, and pain, which Lee Joongi depicted so thoroughly in his heart-wrenching performance, leaving viewers brokenhearted.
“Kim Moojin is a difficult character because he’s hard to pin down. But Seo Hyunwoo has done a wonderful job of making him a vivid character. At the gathering he had with Hyunsoo and Haesoo, I realized once again what a valuable presence he is in our drama, like an oasis in the desert.”
What we have found out the real Baek Hee Sung is the accomplice of Do Min Seok but has been in a coma for 14 years because after he hit Hyun Soo with his car his mum discovered the souvenirs of his work in his bedroom. She found him burying a living Hyun Soo in their garden and she stabbed him. It put him in a coma and they then swapped identities. So 14 years of a peaceful existence but now, is it the reign of terror now he has awoken from his long sleep? He’s killed the housekeeper.
The tension:- Woah! Scary! My heart is beating so fast. I haven’t even watched it with English sub so I don’t really know what is going on but I’m terrified for all the characters I really care about especially Hyun Soo and his family. I want them to be safe but the writers and producers are drawing every bit of emotion out of us. We are petrified for them all. That killer Baek Hee Sung is a nightmare. I wonder what made him like that.
The Baek are one step ahead of them.
Now Jeong Mi Sook the last victim of Do Min Sook and Baek Hee Sung has appeared out of the woodwork. She is being held captive b Yeom Sang Chul the people trader. Another twist. Her husband was the one who tried to drown Hyun Soo. Now he is being threatened again. It implies that his family is not safe. He is losing the control that he held together for 18 years.
Episode 14
So scary! Now Beak Hee Sung has stabbed Haesoo and taken Cha Jiwons name tag. He’ll know what she looks like. Does he know that it wasn't her that he stabbed? Still so many questions. At least he didn’t take the little girl Eun Ha but please save Haesoo. Why did Cha Jiwon let Haesoo take her baby home?Haesoo will do anything to protect her baby brother as he has done the same for her.
I feel for our hero. Let's hope we get out happy ending. This is the best romance in a drama our Prince has ever had but it’s so scary. He's such a thrilling actor that has all the moves but can he win against the real serial killer.
Episode 15
I feel so nervous going to open this episode. I saw the trailer and I’m frightened for Hyun Soo and his family. I hope they are going to be okay and that Haesoo is going to survive the stabbing and Eun Ha is safe.
This drama has a big reveal at the very start of the episode then and epic cliffhanger end and this beginning is scary. Kim Moo Jin meets up with Do Min Sook in the basement he is exploring. He tell him that the thing struggling in a large sack is a deer.

Oh! The tension is so much when Hyun Soo is explaining to Jeong Mi Sook what is going on and she is like a scared deer in a cage. He thinks he got it all worked out and I hope that he does. I can’t handle it I’m taking a breather……………….go get a drink. He so fascinating and he gets that tiny little twitch on his lower right cheek. It’s hardly noticeable but it makes him unique and totally believable and makes us just watch him so closely. As an actor he just the bomb.

English subs haven’t come out and I’m doing this by guess. It’s so harsh what he has to go through. I’m crying again. Baek Hee Sung was taunting Hyun Soo but both didn’t know the truth. We had that dramatic irony. The audience knows but the players don’t. Then Hyun Soo turned the tables and was making Baek Hee Sung fearful when he HS was describing what he was doing to do to him. Now he’s just distraught thinking that Cha Jiwon is dead. So he’s out to kill the killer but not straight away, he’s stabbing him and letting him go. Then chasing him again.
This part of him terrorizing his opponent is comprehensible and explicit. As a viewers we understand his heartbreak. This drama is just so superior.
What an episode end. You better not let him die …… writers
Episode 16
The last episode and I have watched without English subs. It is sad but we do get our happy ever after but not until we have been dragged those the mud with his brain injury causing to relapse into his Alexithymia. Then relearn about his love for his wife and child. She was patiently waiting.
In their discussion n the car they are trying to clarify their true feelings for each other but coming to no conclusion. Since he has forgotten about their 14 years together. His mind has forgotten but his body remembers. He keeps buying egg tarts his daughter’s favour snack. Moo Jin’s fridge is full of them. He doesn’t know why he keeps buying them. He doesn’t remember his daughter. She is so sad because she hasn’t seen him.
He is such a wonderful actor.
I loved this drama so much the acting of Lee Joon Gi is impeccable. He knows how to draw out our deepest emotions.
I'm going to really miss this cast. Congratulation on your superlative production. The music I must mention was just superb it helped to pull at the heart strings and I played them over and over. Its not often that I get hooked into the music as well.

* Review:-My Amazing Boyfriend (2016) This is quite good but its getting a bit long winded at the moment and dragging. The relationship with the monster and the girl Iike. She already had seven bf and has never kissed any of them. That is wack. Her rules for dating are archaic. But I love the way she and the corpse were revived. This girl is so annoying. First off she has broken up with 7 boyfriends and never kissed any one of them. Now She has been saved by this dormant corpse Kim Tae Hwan/Xue Ling Qiao because her blood has revived him but now she wants his to revive one of her exboyfriends because he is dying and doesn’t want to take no for an answer. She is so petty. Try looking from his point of view for once. At least he didn’t kill the guy who is trying to kill him. He had been shot but he had the blood of another mutant that healed his injuries. So their blood can heal anyone. Wow that would be awesome. I wonder if her blood can heal because he gave her his blood. So she’s drugged him with his favourite milk. So she is going to kiss him and bite his tongue. It didn’t work but he decided would do it for her anyway and then he will leave her. He’s so pathetic when he just lets three guys beat him up in the rain. He’s just heart broken but he doesn’t really understand his own feelings of both love and jealousy. I suspected Rise Li/Hong Shi Guang from the beginning . He kind of overacted some of his characters nasty behaviours and he was manipulative of people that he had close relationships with both the male and female. I liked the story. I did, but the ending went against my own predictions. I like the ending I had made up so much better. Aishhh!

Review:-The Fiery Priest (2019)

The Priest Kim Nam Gill is using his Bidam like skills on these bad people. Love it. So happy that this is now on Netflix and I can watch the whole thing and not just bits. It starts hard and goes hard. He’s so awesome. We so love his fighting skills makes us just fangirl all over him. Such a babe. He looks big with his priest gears on but underneath his clothes he’s still the slim gorgeous guy we know and love.

He was an undercover agent for the NIS who became a priest. He looks so immaculate in black, love him. He is so good at acting and in this drama he’s funny too. I have missed watching this formidable, impressive and terrifying actor.

It really is a sad story about the other Priest that was murdered and made out to be a molestor and a thief when he was one of the good ones and he wasn’t allowed to be buried in the cemetery because they said that he had committed suicide. I don’t understand those catholic ways/traditions. So that priest had saved his life after he had been attacked and was dying. That is how he became a priest.

Oh this is so much better than the previews I watched and so deserving of the all the awards that it won for 2019. This is the cleverest and funniest Korea Drama I have ever watched. I love these Korean women when they play badass fighters. Geum Sae Rok/Seo Seung Ah was the one in this one a new young Korean actor I hadn’t seen before. She was so cool.

This drama has everything in it, thrills, spills, crime, comedy, mystery, friendship, drama and badass action from both males and females. Its such an incredible and powerful drama played by amazing and extraordinary actors. Most of them with superb and astounding Martial Arts talents expertise and techniques.

The Priest Kim Nam Gil/Kim Hae Il / Michael is up against some ruthless, heartless and vindictive foe not just the criminals but his old adversaries from his secret agent history. All of them relentless , cruel and merciless. All trying to hurt him deeply because of some grudge that have against him. They are mercenaries hired by Kim Min Jae/Lee Joong Kwon [NIS agent] to hurt him and his friends. They all served together in the NIS. This ex-agent has driven the priest over the edge. Right till the end they kept using his loved ones as bait to aggravate his anger because he Kim Hae Il had anger issues that he had little control over.. The last episode was reminiscent of Bidam when his enemies brought 15 men to fight him. Seems like they were jealous of his efficiency and his clinical nature when working. It wasn’t as gory as Bidam because he didn’t have a sword but he was just as determined and effective. It was like a fighting show. Its like Bidam gets his redemption ……. Just my opinion.

Go Joon/Hwang Cheol Bum was the protagonist in this drama but I couldn’t help but feel something pitiful for this guy. One of those bad boys that make your heart flutter during parts of the story and you had to admire his fighting skills. The mercenaries are after him as well. He’s a spunk when he’s dress up in normal clothes and not his usual over dressing. Although broken hearted,upset and seemed to have killer instincts he still seemed to have a heart. His men meant a lot to him even though he treated them cruelly at times.

I never thought a drama about a priest could be so fine and so well constructed or that I would enjoy it so much but Kim Nam Dam over extended himself. So worthy of being on my favourite actors list. Such an outstanding drama. Woah!
