King deo raendeu (2023)
Made me forget all the bad in the world just for a minute
I am unsure why this show has such a low rating but to each his/her own. I really loved this series because with all the hell going on in the world, it was good to be taken away to a funny, romantic/fantasy like world to escape things. It's a bit cheesy but that's what makes it wonderful as I for one am tired of all the violent and depressing movies right now. It's good to just escape.
The main leads to a great job and the message is simply to write your own story, follow ones dreams and love and be loved. It's kind of a throw back to the K-dramas of old which is why I loved it. The supporting cast is brilliant and funny and the twists keep coming. It also provides insight into the corporate world of South Korea and the politics that go on. I wish they would have done a little more with the older sister and had her soften up a bit earlier but better late than never.
If you want to just escape and have good thoughts that make you feel good, then definitely watch this.
Brightburn (2019)
Bad bad movie but still entertaining enough
I watch movies to be entertained and fortunately this movie had just enough to fill that void. The movie itself leaves audiences like myself asking questions and why weren't the 100 some odd people who worked on this not be able to use common sense and add it in. Kind of like the arm-chair quarterback when watching a football game.
Things change quickly and all of a sudden with no logic behind it. He's a fun loving and sweet 12 year old one second and then just because he hears voices from his spaceship he goes serial killer. They provide NO explanation as to why the sounds from his spaceship waited until he was 12; almost 13 and no history or background what so ever about the alien race that bore this killer. How did they pick earth and of all the trillions of planets, how did he end up on earth? The movie skips through everything; basically goes from we want a baby, crash, we find baby, baby grows, hears voices and then becomes a serial killer. Why not provide some background as to what type of alien race he is or at minimum what the strange gurgling voice is coming from within the spaceship? The movie makes no sense at all and leaves more questions and frustrations than anything else. Watch it if you like to Superboy go on a big tantrum without knowing anything about him, but avoid if you want to enjoy a story along with the action and gore.
Polar (2019)
Remember its based on a graphic novel!!!!
Movie is great! Lots of action, violence anx sex. Now I wouldnt really care for the over the top stuff but I am very familiar with the Polar graphic novel and to make it any other way would not reflect the graphic novel at all. So people chill out! The movie was made to be that way, over the top for a reason. Loves the twist in the movie as it caught me off guard bit all of it made sense after reflecting on why he does what he does for Camille. It wasnt by chance. Also if this is a bit off of John Wick then Wick was a bite off of Man from Nowhere. Check out the graphic novel for those of you here complaining.

Bumchoiwaui junjaeng: Nabbeunnomdeul jeonsungshidae (2012)
Excellent movie about loyalty and betrayal
"Nameless Gangster" depicts the clashes in the Busan underworld when the government declares its war against crime. Former public officer, Choi Ik-Hyun (Choi Min-Sik) and crime boss Choi Hyung-Bae (Ha Jung-Woo) sit in the center of the maelstrom that sweeps the city. In 1982, Choi Ik-Hyun works as a customs officer at the Busan Port. Choi Ik-Hyun and 3 other officers takes bribes, which leads to an internal investigation. The head customs officer has dinner with the 4 men under investigation and asks them point blank for one person to become the fall guy. Choi Ik-Hyun is chosen as the fall guy by virtue of having the least amount of dependents in his family. A few nights later, Choi Ik-Hyun works the nightshift at the Busan Port. He spots two men breaking into a warehouse through the CCTV system. When Choi Ik-Hyun confronts the two men, a physical struggle ensues with the two men eventually fleeing the crime scene. After the two men escape, Choi Ik-Hyun and a colleague go into the warehouse to investigate. They discover massive amounts of heroin packed inside of containers. Choi Ik-Hyun then offers to his colleague that if they sell the heroin, Choi Ik-Hyun will retire from the department and become the fall guy for the bribe taking investigation. Meanwhile, his colleague knows crime boss Choi Hyung-Bae. The colleague tells Choi Ik-Hyun that Choi Hyung-Bae has connections with the Japanese yakuza and can become the facilitator to sell the heroin. The three men then have a meeting at a remote house. Choi Ik-Hyun notices that crime boss Choi Hyung-Bae shares the same family name. The men discuss their respective cuts from the distribution of the heroin. After the deal is agreed upon by all sides, Choi Ik- Hyun informs crime boss Choi Hyung-Bae that they are distant relatives and he knows his father. Due, to the informal manner in which Choi Ik-Hyun addresses crime boss Choi Hyung-Bae, Choi Hyung-Bae's henchman beats Choi Ik-Hyun savagely. They are partners, but Choi Ik-Hyun isn't held with high regard yet. The next day, crime boss Choi Hyung-Bae goes to see his father at his home and finds his father drinking with Choi Ik-Hyun. His father introduces Choi Ik-Hyun to his son and tells his son to bow down to his distant uncle. The two men then begin their partnership in earnest. Choi Ik-Hyun, with his uncanny ability to gain favors from those around him, and crime boss Choi Hyung-Bae, with his physical prowess as the head of a feared criminal organization, are set to take over the Busan underworld, but will it last?
