One of those heartbreaking movies...

I know there are a lot of people out there who loves to watch a movie that makes them smile a little bit and cry a whole lot more. Then "2037" is the film for you.

Let's talk about Hong Ye Ji's acting playing Yoon young, knowing now that this is her first work in acting has actually left me speecheless. The amount of feelings that she succeeded to convey to me was tremoundous.
The pain, the sadness, the unfairness and the desperateness were all very well acted out by her.

She dropped out of school without her mother knowing to pay off the medication and her father's debt, but she still wanted to take the governemant exam eventually. They were happy or let's stay stable until IT happened. You know what happened : the unexpected things that life throws at you. I'll leave them for you to discover.

I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that a 19 years old girl went through all of this and also knowing that there are girls out there who were hurt the same way. I'm hurting for them and want them to know that they are a strong loved person if they've ever come to read this.

About her mother Kyeong Sook whenever she appeared i was crying buckets because Kim Ji Young's acting was on another level. She is a deaf person with asthma, she learned how to speak for her daughter, she was hurting for her daughter but as Soon Je, a co-inmate in a death row sentence within the Cell No. 12, said: For their kids, mothers are much stronger than you think. She was so sorry that she couldn't protect her daughter and give her the life that she wanted for her. As i saw her holding that pizza and wandering barefooted, my heart was wrecked, she really wanted to believe that her daughter is fine, that she is going to be fine.

All the co-inmates in Cell No. 12 had their own stories unfolded and then comforted by Yoon Young at the end, they offered protection and nurtered her each in their own way.

This is the end for those who haven't watched it yet, i would highly advise you to go watch it and get some tissues and band-aids for your heart ready!

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD, DON'T READ, GO WATCH THEN COME BACK. (It's sort of a conclusion to me personally)

Yoon Young's wish was that it's all going to be a dream, it was granted at he end after much suffering both physically and much more mentally. She gave up her daughter named by her inmates "Boni" for adoption, she wished her to grow well and beautiful, she didn't abandon her but she did this to protect her as she said it about Sa Rang's parents, so i can conclude for the sake of my heart that she accepted her and loved her at the end. Most importantly, she did end up again happy with her mother and having an interview to become a government employee.

I was trying to avoid watching a heartwrenching movie like this for so long now because it affects me so much and i know it will stay with me for so long but yeah it is what it is.

Idiocy in its glory.

This drama was the literal meaning of frustration. I have so much boiled up in me after watching it and i don't know how to get it all out.

I JUST WANNA SCREAM IT ALL OUT.

Each time you find yourself forgetting a character's idiocy, comes another foolish shit.

I don't know how i finished this series because each time someone open their mouth i just wanted them to shut up. They never talk like normal people, rather like babies screeching, the sound is haunting. SHUT UP FOR GOD SAKE AND FREAKING THINK FOR A SECOND. Funny to say nobody in the drama listened to me ^^.

This plot would have been intriguing in the hands of a genuis writer. All we got in this drama was nonsense to fill up the pages. Full of plot twists that just don't make sense, just to try to get that wow effect. It is only right to say that it was a shit effect.

I'm rather a fan of shitty endings, but the problem with this drama was not the ending, it was rather the drama all in itself, poorly written, thinking that a bunch of unexpected deaths here and there is what makes people emotional and connected to the drama. I for myself couldn't care less about what happens to those bunch of screeching kids, they were all but stupid, frustrating, with poorly written personalities and perspectives, making me not feel an ounce of connection to them. All i want is for me to forget this drama as soon as possible.

I love the medical/mystery genre, i had high expectations at first but it all become a dull, emotionless drama at some point.

From my point of view, they tried to imitate/remake the american series such as CSI... They failed horribly.

Acting/Cast :

UGH I JUST DIDN'T LIKE IT.
The only word the forensic doctor knows is GET OUT. He's always right. He's cold.
The female prosecuter remembers everything. She's a hardworking. She makes me remember the bad previous acting of suzy.
The other characters are puppets to the upper two.
All in all, you can't connect with the cast, at first you'd be hooked but then you become used to it and you realize you were fooled.

THE ULTIMATE REASON I HATED THIS IS :

Story : (a little spoiler)

The woman baek bom was in love with was in a vegetative persistant state ( Coma for like 20years). They made it known in an early episode so that they spice the story. AS IF! On the last episodes, he found out, when he went to the hospital, he held her hand and she's dead. Okay. Thank youuuuuu! I mean i know he needed to say a proper goodbye so that he can move on. But no, my mind can't accept this.

READ THIS NO SPOILER ------- ALSO, i watched all 32 episodes, the major surprise is the TO BE CONTINUED in the last one. I absolutely hate this, i searched everywhere if they were going to add new episodes or a whole new sequel.

I'm frustrated, but don't regret it all, they were some positive things, like the new criminals and their stories everytime and how you can find things through autopsy -The final message of the dead-.
Thank you all!

Someone wipes my smile off please?

The only thing i had in mind whilst watching this series is that i should make how much AMAZING this series was for me known to the world.

I have smiling wrinkles from the sweetness that this fed me. My heart couldn't take it anymore, i felt butterflies all over my body and at the end of it and even while i'm writing this review i'm feeling sad and my hear hurts because it ended. Someone help i'm feeling empty, leave some positif notes on the comments.


The story unravels how Two boys from two rival families went from being enemies and from being impossible to be friends to developping feelings towards each other so that it's impossible for them to just be friends afterwards.
The chemistry between the leads WAS HIGH i could catch it with my hands, i just wanna praise their excellent immersive acting.
I can only say that their relationship was so innocent and healthy that it melted my heart.

I'll probably rewatch this drama a million times!!!


I mean what can i say? This is my third BL series, by far it has taken the lead. I'm so glad i discovered this genre and hope as many does and gives it a chance.

A small rest ahead of the long TBW list.

There is not much to say about this movie. It is a typical revenge story with no plot twists, no sudden events here and there.

To sum it up, a ballerina befriends a badass girl (JJS) which is the main character in this movie. Some things happened to the ballerina and JJS needs to avenge her. She will try, did she succeed? Watch the movie, i'm not going to spoil you lol. The bad guy is KJH, i like him so no comment on his wonderful sexy acting lol.

The only phrase that got stuck with me from the whole movie is "My face and My Lamborghini", like the vibes were weird and funny at the same time.

Yu Jae Seok is carrying it.

I'm a sucker for variety shows and this one right here scratched that sweet place for me.

The new concept here is the show being live where YJS is a player in a game and has 100min to complete a mission through several tasks. So people can watch and interact with YJS all the time through commands and votings. The constant banter between the spectators and YJS is what gives life to this show, and i kept thinking if only KwangSoo was here with him, i would've really died from laughter.

This is a not a big scale show. The sets are on the small side but they are well prepared and keep you entertained throughout. They keep reusing producers/actors but i find that funny actually, and happy to see the same silly people again.

All in all, i'd recommend you watch it! The episodes are only 30min so it goes really fast, most of them are fun especially the horror ones of course, i only got bored in like 2/3 episodes as the stories/concepts of the episodes are somewhat lacking . I will be watching season 2 now, i have really high hopes for the improvement of the production!!
