Slice Of Life - KDrama Addict

Image from IMDB Like always, a few actors leave an impression on you so much that you go on a spiral watching their every Kdrama or movie. And in the same fashion, I stumbled upon this movie of Shin Seung-ho who played the adorable crown prince of Daeho in Alchemy of Souls 1 & 2 . I wondered how this film would be since it was about a wrestler with Shin Seung-ho playing a wrestler Kang Woo-ram who quits the sport after his coach passes away suddenly. There was something very endearing about this movie that keeps you hooked on till the very end. How that double Patty that he encounters by chance becomes the central theme that connects him to the FL Lee Hyun-ji played by Irene forms the story. It is pretty slow, like most Korean films, very much like our lives, but those small details in the mundane is what is brought out very beautifully. Every Korean movie does that, just that not every film can be watched and stomached by the general audience. The secret to film making one has to ...

This series is yet another heartwarming one from Hyeri. I love how she chooses her scripts. I watched it purely for her. Warning - this one covers death, bereavement, and funerals so if you will get triggered pls exercise caution. Hyeri or Dong baek lands a job as a funeral director and discovers that she has a special power - the dead talk to her just before they depart to the other world - she is able to get to know their final wishes and she has to do it, if she doesn't, she keeps getting hurt, involved in small accidents that remind her of her duty. She runs away after she meets the first "spirit", a little boy. But after all those reminders, she comes back to her job only to be shunned by her boyfriend (namchin) and other people around her just because she touches dead bodies and they deem it unlucky. Hyeri continues working in the job inspite of her father forbidding her from doing it. So she moves to a rented place owned by Vincent who runs an errand startup, A Dim...

Didn't hear too much about this series on social media but decided to give it a shot for 2 reasons 1. Is a legal drama 2. Has only 12 episodes. Until the 8th episode, we are still trying to figure out who Cheon Jihun is and why he does what he does. He comes across as a funny, silly lawyer who charges only 1000 won as legal fees. But we also see him wear fancy clothes and goggles at any part of the day. Then we realize how he was and how he changed himself to be. In the past, he is seen to be as less emotive and doesn't show his emotions at all. He hardly smiles at people, doesn't mix too much, generally, a socially awkward kind of person. But he warms up to a fellow lawyer slowly. I really loved how he finally grieved the passing of his then-girlfriend and how he takes up her dream as his. Cheon Jihun - I've never seen his dramas or movies but what a guy. Looks very plain and has no special stuff (on the exterior) but what acting he can do! I kind of like his walking s...

  Source: Internet Since I am on a Lee Joon Gi marathon when I was reading up about him, this one movie kept cropping up over and over again - the movie that was responsible for the rising popularity of the young man that he was in 2005.  Set in 15th/16th century Korea, this period drama touches upon several aspects in the subtlest of ways. There are hints of homosexuality, they talk about the tyrant king, freedom of expression, and of course the traditional arts that are used to showcase these.  In Tamil Nadu, the street plays are referred to as Theru Koothu and it is refreshing to see them in other parts of the world too.  This film had pretty much lesser known "stars" but the output is simply outstanding. Be it King Yeonsan, the tightrope walker Jang-sang or my new favourite, Lee Joon Gi who plays Gong-gil.  These tightrope walkers/minstrels, street performers mock the King and are jailed but get a chance to escape punishment if they make the King laugh, and ...
