Very sweet movie. I have a soft spot for elders with swag (which the grandpa has in spades!). Nice exploration of generational differences and how we can overcome them
Very fun with a fantastic cast and great soundtrack. I just wish the superpowers made more sense in how they related to the organs and the original donor, and the mirror scene had been explained more
Really delightful! I was laughing out loud from the very first scene. It seemed to poke fun at lots of saeguk tropes, the photographic memory parts were also fun
I liked it. It centered on the haunting of past evils and mistakes with a strong, overwhelming sense of place, reminding me of my favorite scary movie (The Innocents)
The scene with CSWâs regression therapy footage was so ridiculous, it really took me out of the movie. My secondhand embarrassment was strong!
Everything after that seemed thrown together and verbally explained to make the movie arrive at an end that didnât seem possible given how the first half of the movie played out. But this isnât one of those movies where I am intrigued enough to watch again to look for the clues.
But, was interesting seeing FL after having seen Mission Cross! She is basically the same character in both so watching her in this felt like Mission Cross backstory đ
OMG. I love Zo In Sung, he exceeded my expectations in this! So valiant. Fantastic action and I appreciated the chaste gritty romance between SSK and PJM. SSK was well suited for her role
Such a ridiculous movie. Very cheesy to start but by the end was won over by the beautiful smart and determined women (not the stupid men). The honking, surgery, foot/freezer and final fight scenes were funny and worth watching!
IDK, I liked this as a commentary on the brutality of idol training. It delved into the vacuousness, backbiting and insecurities that are likely rife in the industry to present the consequences as horrorâ Youâre a mistake, casualty or discard if not just a bad copy of what the industry thinks you should be. I saw a lot of parallels with Muses of Star Empire in how harsh and pointlessly cruel a hit factory can be
Really adorable and fun family movie with great martial arts action! The scene where the son first unleashes his amazing dancing taekwondo style was very cool (with a moonwalk no less)!
Leaving soon on Tubi (itâs subbed there). I would buy this to have on hand as a fun comfort movie rewatch
I donât have more to say about this well done, well acted but not highly original series except PSWâs hair looked really terrific! And both he and Kim Bum had some emotional scenes that made this worth watching for me.
Iâm almost finished with this; Iâm not sure itâs one you watch for any specific actor. I watched for Park Sung Woong and since the storyline is about a team no single character really stands out. Itâs a good show if you enjoy police procedurals with a bit of spycraft and political conspiracy.Kim Bum seems really underused though his role seems to be getting bigger as the series comes to an end
I took this as an exploration of how privilege can stunt you and harm others. So Young put her friends in this situation not appreciating they donât have the same resources to fall back on. She is so spoiled she seems to think running away will just magically work out, she will get that audition, etc. When this fails she can magically pull out a credit card (meanwhile, her friends have already gone through some serious abuse and trauma due to this unnecessarily dangerous and precarious situation). Her refusal to accept responsibility and the fallout for her friends was so frustrating and sad
Yet again a bunch of action with the explanation at the end. Both storylines really strained belief. Especially the casual rape while standing on a hill in the rain (and what led up to that). But also wanting his wife to wake up (why? She hated him and would probably never forgive him). I guess we were supposed to just go, âOh well, that just shows heâs a psychoâ (which they seemed to say outright at the end) but felt very shallow.
The casting also seemed questionable (why was Min Woo so attractive and not at all physically similar to Kang? Is that how Kang sees himself and if so, why?). Just seemed unrealistic and to force the twist. Or maybe this was to suggest all psychopaths really see themselves as outrageously attractive? I doubt thatâs true!
FL and NGM were great. Also liked seeing Oh Jung Se as a smirking thugâŠBut this wasnât a great movie
Seems like there are so many B movies that do this: Play out the action then spend the last 20-30 minutes giving backstory to explain what happened. I kind of like it but in this movie it was very confusing.
Someone on Letterboxd said they imagined the filmmakers found the car camping trend annoying, wanted to terrorize car campers in a movie and then worked backward from there to form a plot. I agree with that idea đ
