A normal family bickering over morals and the value of life during fancy but pretentious dinners. A normal family cruelly uncovering years of resentment and jealousy. A normal family using social and financial privileges in every way possible. A normal family trying to cover up some really messed up situations. A normal family that reaps what it sows...
Three foolish men in a mission to save their beautiful, intelligent women. Fast-paced, chaotic and funny, with some ridiculously dumb but hilarious moments. Time well-spent.
A charming short film with three talented leads giving us a feel-good, dreamy summer story. Simple, concise, elegant. Hong Sang Soo at his best. - Why can't people see the good things in front of them? - They think they have time for it later.
A warm, very affectionate story of grieving, longing, loving told through a unique time-travel setting. With meaningful dialogues, a sincere approach that avoided being cheesy and cliche, and great performances from the leads, it managed to be heartbreakingly emotional as well as inspiring. Sakamoto Yuji's pen never disappoints.
Quirky and funny, with an unhinged, matter-of-factly humor and a team of unique superheroes who share one braincell. Chaotic, adorably stupid most of the times, emotional in some others, cute even in its flaws, but definitely engaging throughout. Time well-spent.
With great cinematography, captivating 70s noir vibes and a star-studded cast, this is a story of espionage, smuggling operations, power struggles, political and criminal conspiracies and an intriguing rivalry. However, the narration was lacking, the pacing felt uneven and some characters were underutilized. Hyun Bin's charisma and Jung Woo Sung's strong presence were the best parts of this short drama that wasn't bad, but could have been much better.
A sensational, lavish, full of erotism watching experience. The story wasn't anything extraordinary, but the top-notch cinematography and - especially- those two leads with their heated rivalry, pulpable chemistry and sexual tension, made this film a must-watch.
A touching story about an ambitious piano teacher and a talented orphan that bond and find happiness through music. In spite some narration flaws, Uhm Jung Hwa and young Shin Ee Jae's performances and chemistry were enough to make this film a decent watch.
Set in the kitchen of a military outpost base, this is a funny and heartwarming story of friendship, camaraderie and character growth, with lots of delicious food and mouth-watering culinary adventures. Time well-spent.
Chaotic, lighthearted and parody watch, with many references to familiar titles and lots of familiar actors in ikemen roles. The story felt a bit rushed and underdeveloped, especially concerning the characters, but it was funny and entertaining.
A bleak, gripping story about an unusual found family and bonding between two young women pushed to the margins of society, their partnership and supporting, their struggles and fight for survival. With no forced emotions and melodrama from the storytelling, just controlled camerawork and impactful acting from the two leads, this is definitely a difficult watch.
Dark, intense, heavy on politics and manipulations, this is the story of The Owl, the head of a dysfunctional family, with all their secrets, mistakes and dramas. It can feel slow-paced when focusing on political maneuvering, overwhelming during some explicit scenes, but overall it was an interesting watch. Tanaka Min definitely carried this series on his shoulders.
Beautifully filmed and acted, this is a bittersweet story of loss, grief and moving on. Even though the narration's emotional impact feels forced, the sisterhood of those three talented leads is enough to make this story worth watching.
What I really enjoyed in its prequel was still here: awesome fighting choreographies, fast-paced editing, great camaraderie and team-work and, of course, Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi's awesome chemistry and sync. But, the story was much weaker and predictable, with more weak parts and repetitive plot devices, while sometimes the fight scenes felt too long to be enjoyable. Entertaining for a one-time watch.
