ACTION PACK

FIRST TIME SEEING HAEIN IN VILLAIN ROLE AND I LIKE IT.. MORE VILLAIN ROLE TO COME, OR ACTION FILM FOR HIM, TIRED OF SEEING HIM IN MELODRAMA. HE BETTER DO MORE ACTION FILM OR COMEDY FILM IF HE CAN. MORE MOVIES.

“I, the Executioner” tells the story of veteran detective Seo Do-cheol (played by HWANG Jung-min) and his team at Major Crimes, relentless in their pursuit of criminals, who join forces with rookie cop Park Sun-woo (played by JUNG Hae-in) to track down a serial killer who has plunged the nation into turmoil.

For audiences familiar with the impact the first installment of the first movie Veteran had in Korea and veteran actor Hwang Jung Min’s status in the Korean film industry, I, the Executioner is a movie Korean film enthusiasts wouldn’t want to miss. That said, the storyline of I, the Executioner has absolutely nothing to do with the first movie so moviegoers can opt to watch the movie without any expectations and knowledge of the first film (but it would be good to learn just the names of the main characters).

Uma estrela porque não tem como colocar menos

Só assisti essa bomba porque não gosto de abandonar, mas demorei taaaanto pra terminar, assisti vários outros durante o tempo que assisti esse. Gente, que drama ruim, história péssima, personagens sem vida, roteiro lento, efeitos especiais que podemos chamar de defeitos especiais, são tantas coisas ruins que nem consigo mencionar tudo. Não perca seu tempo assistindo isso. O pior é saber que terá segunda temporada, isso é um crime.

Major disappointment

I initially watched this for a couple of supporting actors. Very happy to see them, I wasn't disappointed. HOWEVER, I ended up skipping through a huge portion of it simply because I couldn't stand the ML. Don't know if it's the character (bland and boring) or the actor (haven't seen him in anything else and really don't want to), but I couldn't get any feeling for the lead couple. I've never had such antipathy towards a couple, and I've seen dozens of them. It's worth seeing some storylines again, but not often.

INCREDIBLE SHOW

Omg I love this show so much. The happy ending in the special episode made it even more worth watching. This show will forever have me in a “chokehold”. GET YOUR TISSUES READY. I’d also like to mention how INCREDIBLE Wen’s character is. Like, his logistical skills and survival skills are PHENOMENAL. The man is a GENIUS. Love him so much! Last thing: this is obviously more of a BL-adjacent type of show. But I’m telling you this is the greatest love story I’ve seen in a censored BL show. Like I’ll never forget it. Okay bye! LOL

Coould have had it all

I admit I was looking forward to watching this series because of ML who I really like and enjoy his acting, and because the story line seemed really good. I was not disappointed in the ML's acting or the storyline, but very disappointed in the match-up of the ML with the FL. I don't like criticizing anyone, but I can't hold back on this one. This actress was absolutely wrong as a FL match-up with ML. He is a good actor anf I have watched him and enjoyed his performances in many series, and I have to say the scenes of him and FL together here were so lackluster that it made me feel bad for him. She brought nothing good to the table. Her negative impact manages to dim his light in my opinion. They truly made me cringe! I enjoyed watching the 2nd leads together much more. I understand the characters the FL and ML were playing, but still find FL was not right match for him and I don't think it's because of their (real or their charcters') age difference either.
As for the storyline, I found it to be good.
Due to my disappointment in the FL, I won't be rewatching this. It was difficult watching it once. (I do rewatch Melody of Golden Era often 😁)

Not worth watching for me

So, 40 eps later, I think I should have invested my time in another drama. It was not worth my time. Don't think I can rate this more than 6-6,5

Let's start with some positive points :
1) I liked the costumes
2) Acting was fine from the cast. I don't think I have ever seen FL's actress before and I think she did good, during the emotional and sad scene too
3) The leads character were enjoyable.
4) I liked the powerful ML, he is mostly why I continued watching the drama. I liked watching him fighting and solo everyone.
5) This had some good fighting scenes
6) Surprisingly, I liked the arc about the library. I liked the fighting scenes and I think it was admirable all these people willing to die and trying to save the ancient texts or wiling to die protecting them. It still felt infuriating when we saw one of the half burning after so many dead. I was feeling ''All that for nothing''.
7) I liked Bai Zong Ying arc later in the drama. I was sad when he died.
8) I liked what they did with Jiang Ji character. She was annoying a part of the drama, but she was so about the rules, following the sects, you are a demon, etc.. So I think it was interesting seeing her see things differently we could say in the end.
9) Some side characters were fine

Now the negative points for me :
1) A Sheng and Jin Lun : they were a complete waste of screentime. 0 Interesting and what was the point. Jin Lun and their scenes could have been completely erased and it would have change nothing. Even her, I didn't found her character interesting, she did serve some little purpose at some point, but she also felt unnecessary. As the fourth drama I watch of the screenwriter, the ''Second pairing'' is always a waste to me
2) The romance : there were some little moments, but there was barely romance and I did not really feel it. You don't need kissing scenes, I just don't think there was much romantic chemistry. Felt more like a friendship, companions than romantic partners
3) The last battle felt somehow disappointing. I know I said that I like ML being invisible, but for a last battle... he just show up, kill him and leave so fast. That somehow felt underwhelming.
4) The plot in general : It didn't really catch my attention and it felt mid to me, boring at time. I wasn't fully invested in the plot, but I still wanted to see where it lead. All of this to become human to in the end stay a war demon. Well he did had some times to enjoy what it feels like to be human, but still. I was left a bit with ''what was the point''.
5) The editing : maybe a few times it bothered me. Like the transition between the scenes. One time, we were in the middle of ML fighting and it shift to the second leads talking out of nowhere, like why. I fast-forwarded. And how many eps ended mid battle, that was annoying.
6) The ending : the most disappointing part of the drama. You tell me, they had 2 entire episodes to do the conclusion and it's how they went ? It's okay to show closure in general and side characters too, but for the leads ??? Useless and unnecessary cameos and filler moments, FL looking for ML for 2 eps. Then they have them meeting in the last few seconds of the drama.
You can call this a happy ending, but I won't call it a good ending. Feel like a complete waste of time an ending like this, left to imagination to what happens after that. These kind of ending gives nothing. The romance was already flat, so I wouldn't have expected much, but still could have gone differently.

Stuck With This One

I’m a bit on the fence with this show. I absolutely love the mains. Most of the supporting cast is pretty good. music has been ok, but nothing standout. My issue with it is the constant state of give and take. I’ve watched a ton of dramas over the last 10 years and I don’t recall any of them throwing this many curveballs. Sure, one per episode is pretty standard, but with this show is 3-5 per episode. As a viewer, you’re never given the chance to build hope for the relationship to develop. To be honest, 7 episodes into a 12 episode series, there should be some development. There isn’t. They make the slowest amount of progress and then instantly erase it. Every time.

I have to finish it to see the end of course. I’m too invested at this point. But the building blocks of the story have been completely tossed out now. I’m sad about that.

Sweet, loved up FUN

LOTS of sweet intimate moments for the OTP but even more genuine humour. So many laughs in this one, from humour that was self-aware but not ironic. The proposals were a great stunt and the bonus scene combined a humorous swipe at the female lead actor with an era-appropriate dose of the requisite State propaganda, in a way that fitted.

Watching a 2nd time

I am currently in episode 8 of watching this drama a second time. Here are my reasons:

I had no idea who any of the actors were the first time I watched this drama. Since then I have become a fan of Sung Hoon in CEO roles and wanted to re-watch him in a role where he was basically support. I loved HENRY's character and when I found out about his singing and violin talent I became a huge fan. I feel the leads did a good job portraying their characters and liked ML's teasing of FL regarding potential kissable moments.

As someone who has seen domestic violence in a family situation I appreciated that this subject was touched on.

When I was in my twenties I weighed 127 pounds (57.6kg) and now thanks to menopause I weigh 240 lbs (108.9kg) I had a well proportioned figure due to my height and good genes. I can identify with the FL. Inside you know you are still you, but have that nagging feeling of not being quite who you were. Both the first time and this time while watching this drama I was touched by the following comment: "Is your body only single use? Are you going to use it only one day and throw it away?" I really think I need to put this on my refrigerator and take it with me when I go shopping.

From the very beginning I fell in love with the theme song, Beautiful Lady. But then before retirement I made my living as a mobile DJ so I either love or dislike music immediately. Overall I thought the music and sound production in this drama paired well with the appropriate scenes

Someone made a comment about the FL gaining so much weight in the final (to avoid spoiler I won't say why). However, I know many people who have done this and then been able to return to their weight prior to the incident. It was not unrealistic.

Some things I didn't like:
The second leads were okay but nothing to write home about. Didn't care for the stalker female at all. I intensely dislike childish characters and her behavior was so inappropriate. I have not seen the primary leads in any other work and won't go out of my way to watch something just because they are in it. However I am happy for Shin Min Ah that she and Kim Woo Bin have been able to have a loving and stable relationship in a world full of toxic netizens.

Overall:
I would definitely recommend this as a must watch at least one time.

"I warned that you might regret this"

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started Going by the Book. The old synopsis said a traffic cop went undercover in a robbery gang and that was far removed from the story in this film. The actual premise might have been far-fetched but it did provide for both tense moments and hilarious ones.

Officer Jung Do Man had been a detective until a failed investigation resulted in his demotion to traffic cop. Upright and by the book he is a thorn in his colleagues’ sides. When the new police chief, Lee Seung Woo arrives, he discovers that there have been a number of unsolved bank robberies. After watching a military exercise, Lee decides to hold a police exercise to strengthen police response time to robberies and coordination with the banks. He secretly chooses Do Man to play the robber, a move the officer warns against. Lee learns the hard way that Jung Do Man takes his job very seriously when the simulation becomes more complicated and more public than Lee had planned.

The film started out slow, and I worried that it was not for me. Once the simulation began, that’s when the fun and tension ramped up. Do Man had done his homework and his way of handling the “hostages” was stressful and funny. Despite not wanting to upset the people in the bank, he was willing to see the simulation through to the end. And return his rented videos on time! Jung Jae Young was suited to a tee as Do Man. He portrayed a good cop who didn’t see the nuance in relationships yet could zero in on illegal patterns. Son Byung Ho brought out Chief Lee’s conflicted emotions as Jung had done exactly what he asked but to a degree he never dreamed.

Going by the Book was an interesting case study in hostage situations even if or perhaps because it was fake. People complained, freaked out, and cooperated. Pride pushed the chief to continue on long after he should have called the simulation off. Thankfully, the humor was not slapstick or bathroom oriented. It evolved organically from the claustrophobic and absurd experiment. I laughed out loud numerous times which is a rarity for me. Silly, serious, ridiculous---yet ended up being quite enjoyable.

Favorite quote (roughly remembered): “In a fight, which one wins, wushu or boxing?” “The one who has a gun.”

I loved this drama! It left me with the same feeling Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha did, meaning that by the time it was over, I missed the entire village. In this case, I am going to miss this family and all of their neighbors, friends, and even their co-workers. Definitely worth a watch if you love shows with a large cast.

what happened?

genuinely almost clicked off and called it quits during the first sighting of ai post lin'an arc. i thought the groundwork of the story was neatly laid, and i was quite impressed with the abilities of the cast, both linghe and xiwei. they have mouthwatering visual chemistry, and i was pretty frustrated by how wasted it was in the second half of the story.

some tropes got a little old after a while, the usage of ai was blatantly disrespectful, and the political lore just started to drag and drag after a while. i was intrigued, i'll admit, by the second leads and their forbidden romance. but then it got overshadowed and watered down for the sake of the main couples, including qi min and qianqian.

it sucks that such a brilliant director with such a keen eye for beautiful imagery fell victim to ai usage in his craft. i was amazed otherwise, but i'm mostly disappointed.

all in all, i don't think i feel the need to finish this show.

⚠️O.K. Splinter Faction °8.4° °crazy romp° minor spoilers


Anyone ever feel that acute tension between what you want and the things you feel you must do in order to get it? (Anyone see Fight Club-10?) Ryu wants that promotion. It's overdue. He won't step a toe out of line. He won't make waves. He will keep his superiors pleased with him. He will succeed.

BUT…

He's drowning. He's drowning and sweating blood. Then he gets punched again. Is he fighting, or is he underwater? The whale singing next to him would indicate he's underwater, but then he's getting punched again! He wakes up fully clothed in the bathtub, swearing: ‘I'll never drink that much again.’ When he gets to his vehicle, it's been vandalized. He storms off to the security office and demands to see all the footage of the parking garage… There he is on tape, trashing his own car! He swivel-kicked it, he got up on top of it and jumped up and down, he smashed his mirror off, and he basically made a meal of it. He still has 7 more months of car payments, too.

“Memories can be distorted, but emotions can't be.” B&C is a 2021 release that is rated 92 on AWiki. It is 1 season consisting of 12 unhinged 70-minute episodes. It's Fight Club meets Strangers on a Train. It's the living embodiment of the joke: “I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.”

Self-sabotage and the tension between right and wrong, in a world that rewards wrong and punishes right, is on display. The show is muy loco and fun, but there's a serious underpinning to it. The first half+ is played for laughs. Ryu is frustrating because he cuts corners and is too morally lax. K is just darling. DARLING. And, K just luvs Hee. It's very cute. In the 2nd half, Ryu's backstory humanizes him. We'll learn that he was adopted. His adopted brother is on some kind of spectrum and has a habit of bringing home found objects. He's a bit of a hoarder. One day, brother ”found” and brought home a beat up kid - Ryu. Mom cried while washing him. He was beat up and bloody with black eyes. He smelled awful.

The show is a lark. The directing is great. Ep2 has an awesome fight scene with brawlers slipping around on a whole drum's worth of spilled oil. There's another crazy fight scene with an extension cord of yellow. The flashback sequences in ep8 are immersive and brilliantly done. The acting is a very tidy package - it's superb. It's just a fun ride until the last 1/3. Suddenly, it isn't for laughs. It starts to grip the viewer.

I watched B&C in tandem with The Good Detective-8.5. The two shows couldn't be more different in tone, but they have a wide swath of overlap when it comes to plot commonalities. Both focus heavily on the police / detective teams, precinct politics and corruption, and an entitled rich men killing a woman, but the similarities stop there. TGD is serious. B&C is just for fun, though there is a serious underpinning to it. I got myself confused between the 2 shows in the early episodes, so I do not recommend watching this at the same time as another cop drama. Screenwriter, Kim Sae Bom, and director, Yoo Seon Dong, collaborated on this and The Uncanny Counter (of which only S1 is worth one's time - S1-8.4 S2-4). Ep1 builds up mystery. We drop in on events without knowing how they'll tie together. The viewer must ride along with it and wait for the plot to develop, as Kdramas don't spoon feed the audience like Hollyweird does.

Game of Thrones author GRRM has said that there's only one thing worth writing about, and that's the “human heart in conflict with itself.” That's exactly what we see in B&C. In ep1, our ML, “Ryu” Soo Yeol, is being haunted by Helmet-head (K). Some random dude has been showing up in places to which he should never have had access (like Ryu's apartment) and smashing the snot out of him. We are left to wonder why.

Our ML, Lee Dong Wook, is most famous for Guardian: The Lonely and Great God. Here, he gets to show his comedic side and he's basking in this role. I've seen him in Touch Your Heart-8.2 & A Shop for Killers-8.7. He's GOOD. Here, he's Ryu, an internal affairs detective who is only thinking about his next promotion and the easiest way to get there. He seems a tad shallow. Han Ji Eun (Be Melodramatic-8.7, Lovestruck in the City-7.3) plays Lee “Hee” Kyum. She's completely feminine in BM, but not here. When he gets to work, she drop-kicks him. Clearly, her feelings run strong.

Wi Ha Joon is "K” or Helmet-head. He's featured in the show's promo tile, so this is no shocker. I've seen him in Squid Game-8.4 (serious, downcast and determined) and The Worst of Evil-7.7 (ruthless, living a dual existence). Here, he's unhinged and having the time of his life. He's so dang charming when he laughs. It's infectious. I laughed with him every time. I really can't overstate how adorable he is in this. He’s a metaphor for joy, decency, bravery, childish wonder, and love.

Cha Hak Yeon (Castaway Diva, Children of Nobody) is beat cop, Oh Kyung “Tae”. This dude is totally BAE material. He runs into a little girl who is looking for her mom. The detective at the station claims mom is an escort. He won't be pursuing the case. When Tae looks into it, a detective shows up on the scene and beats him up! He ends up filing an IA complaint. That's how he meets Ryu, who is charged to investigate the matter. Ryu sees this as a big inconvenience. Sweet Tae grows quite a bit in the course of the show. Consequently, his sweetness becomes much more selective.

Tae is the tenacious type. He's TAEnacious!😆 He keeps looking into the disappearance of the girl's mother, having reason to believe she was murdered. Signs are pointing to a politician, and the cop who beat him up is that politician's cousin. As ep1 closes, he finds the nanny cam footage. Ep1 ends with a bang. A BOOM-BANG. And we meet K.

The bad guys don't like Tae's tenacity. They attempt to kill him. Somehow, K seems to know everything that's going on. Why he's so interested in Tae or Ryu remains a mystery for now. K picks up Ryu (forcibly) and motors him over to where Tae is about to be burned alive. They rescue him but everyone ends up in the hospital. That's how ep1 closes. Tae eventually wakes up. He reaches out to Ryu for help because his life is under continuous threat.

Ryu wakes up in the 🏥 completely confused. He keeps running into K. A shrink tells him he's imagined all of it. By the end of ep2, we have a good idea that he DIDn't imagine K, but not in a way that we would imagine. Ep2 ends in a big reveal. Writing a non spoiler review will be difficult, was my thought. But this feels like Fight Club-10! The first rule is: We don't talk about it.

K is causing all kinds of trouble. He fly-kicked to an assembly man's head (dude is a murderer), he's getting into fights with multiple assailants, he's investigating crimes that were committed by powerful people (hazardous to one's general health), he's hitting on Hee (the ex! 😵)... Oh, and he donated Ryu's savings (his illegal skim, that is) to an orphanage. It was Ill-gotten gains, and it could have gotten Ryu arrested, but Ryu actually contemplates suicide when he realizes that his stash is finacing a new orphanage playground.

After Ryu drop-kicks an assembly man (K did /that!/) he's sent to a prosecutor. The prosecutor is extremely thorough but he's also B&C. He may break out screaming about how, due to his specialized skills of CPA and prosecutor, he never gets blind dates! Ryu has no sisters for blind dates, therefore he has nothing for this prosecutor. Apparently, Mr. Dateless has uncovered a scheme where Ryu uses his brother to accept bribes. We don't know if this is a setup or if it is really happening: They seem equally likely. Ryu is no paragon of virtue. He’s compromised himself so deeply he's nearly split himself in half.

Jung Sung Il (The Glory) is Sin Ju Hyeok, the Dream Youth Shelter therapist. He slays it. He's the perfect detached psychopath. Controlling. Manipulative. He's the cat. Everyone else is a mouse. His acting is excellent. The fact that we can't reach through the TV and strangle him creates tension.

Kim Hieora plays a drug boss. She's more ghoul than human. She's almost spectre-like with and otherworldly (not remotely human) aura, no remorse and terminator-like energy. Her appearance is pale and half dead. Her eyes are all dead. The lollipops she's constantly wearing down to nothing don't sweeten her up. Her eyes send a robotish energy, like: Don't even bother asking for mercy. She was hailed for her performance in The Glory, which is in my to-do list. (Without her there would have been NOTHING to see in The Uncanny Counter S2. Watch her for a couple episodes and skip the rest of the season. It breaks my heart to say that because I loved S1 so much.) Anyway, there's so many shows in which I think the male lead makes it, which then makes me wonder if I'm unwittingly misogynistic, but I sort of have a girl crush on this actress as well as the actress Bibi, and Lee Jeong-un is my favorite actor in the world right now, so perhaps I'm not imbalanced in my views. Then there's Kang Ae-Shim, who plays Ryu's mom. She's a cutie. I enjoyed her in Wonderful World-7.8, Squid Game2, When the Camellia Blooms-8, & Be Melodramatic-8.7, but she might be at her cutest here.

The acting is the strongest element of this show: Jung Sung Il - homerun. Kim Hieora- homerun. Han Ji Eun- adorable. Wi Ha Joon is having the time of his life. He seems more huggable than a puppy. All the kids - homerun. I don't usually go this high in my acting🎭ratings (9) but they earned it.

Wow. Does this show become something else in the last couple episodes. It's 2/3 just a silly romp and then it gets edgy. It is slightly over the top, but they pull it off.

My reviews are my own words, but here's some absolute gems from AI/G - my watch party partner.

“Kim Hieora who plays Boss Yong, is chewing scenery like it owes her money, every glare could power a city. She's the icy, no-nonsense leader of a massive drug trafficking syndicate and is the ultimate female kingpin—ruthless, calculating, and pulling strings from the shadows while her gang clashes with the protagonists. She debuted around 2019 and this was one of her breakout roles before she stepped away from acting in 2023 amid personal issues, but man, she nails the villain energy here.

Boss Yong is one of the most chilling female villains in recent K-drama history. She really does feel like a specter: Deathly pale skin (almost corpse-like under the neon lights) . Those completely flat, shark-dead eyes—no light, no remorse, just pure predator. Minimal facial movement; she barely blinks, barely smiles (when she does, it’s worse than a snarl). Voice is low, slow, and emotionless—like she’s already bored with your existence. That lollipop-sucking quirk? It's her signature tic, adding this eerie, almost playful menace to her scenes (like she's savoring the chaos she causes). It isn’t cute; it’s a prop she uses to look relaxed while deciding whether you live or die. Even her posture is eerie: perfectly still, shoulders squared, head slightly tilted—like a praying mantis sizing up prey. Your Terminator description is the perfect comparison: zero empathy, hyper-efficient, unstoppable once she locks onto a target

She’s not just “evil”—she feels post-human. Like if cruelty evolved into a life form and put on a tailored suit. (If you’re taking notes for a character study or just to process how unsettling she is, you’re not alone—half the fandom still gets chills thinking about her “You’re already dead” stare in episode 10.) Absolute masterclass in quiet menace. Kim Hieora didn’t just play a villain; she weaponized stillness.

Jung Sung-il as the slimiest, most punchable boss who somehow still has layers? Absolute home run.

Han Ji-eun going from the soft, quirky Be Melodramatic girlfriend to this tough, no-nonsense detective with a heart of gold… the range! And yeah, still 100% adorable even while kicking doors down.

Wi Ha-joon isn’t even acting at this point; he’s just living his best chaotic golden-retriever-with-a-baseball-bat life. You’re right, he’s aggressively huggable. Like, arrest-me-please huggable.

And the kids! The little justice squad gave the show so much heart without ever feeling forced or cutesy. Every time they showed up I just went “protect them at all costs.” You don’t rate the scting this high, but this drama just kept swinging for the fences and connecting on every single character. That’s rare. When even the side players feel this lived-in and lovable, you know the casting director deserves a raise and a vacation.

The first two-thirds are basically a live-action cartoon in the best way: over-the-top fights, Wi Ha-joon flipping out of nowhere like a superhero, slapstick corruption takedowns, that glorious helmet-smash slow-mo. It’s ridiculous, it knows it’s ridiculous, and it’s having the time of its life being ridiculous.

Then boom, around episode 8–9 it remembers “oh right, trauma, corruption, mental health, child abuse, betrayal” and slams on the brakes just enough to make you feel it in the chest. The shift could’ve been whiplash in lesser hands, but because the cast is this good (and the bromance this earned), they actually stick the landing. The silliness becomes the sugar that helps the medicine go down, and suddenly you’re crying over a guy in a red dinosaur motorcycle helmet.That tonal tightrope walk is honestly the drama’s secret weapon. It never apologizes for being extra, but it still guts you when it wants to. Pulling off both clownery and real emotional stakes in the same package is why it’s special.So yeah… silly romp with a surprise knife twist, executed by a cast that refuses to miss. No wonder you’re throwing 9s at the acting. They earned every decimal.

I started watching this after the series had already finished airing, so this is very much a first-impression review.

“Knock Out” starts with an absurdly chaotic setup — debt collectors, underground fights, and a desperate college student trying to survive after losing everything.

The story doesn’t always make logical sense, but strangely, that becomes part of its charm.

Between the intense Muay Thai atmosphere and the almost comedic amount of questionable decisions, Episode 1 is surprisingly entertaining.

I already found myself laughing at how many things made me go “Wait… what?” 😂

If the drama keeps balancing action, chaos, and chemistry well, this could become a very fun ride.
