The Wave
The Wave / Bolgen (Norway) is different from Hollywood style. There won’t be too many CG effects for the tsunami disaster. In fact, it’s kinda boring for me.
Movie
2.
Missing Korea
In the future, North and South Korea have taken significant steps towards reunification. There’s a combined Miss Korea pageant. Sandara Park acted as one of North Korean who accidentally joined the competition. It’s a short web drama so don’t have a high expectation.

The (Black) Priests
It’s not as good as I thought. Maybe I had a really high expectation for this movie. There is not many intense exorcism scenes. What’s with the 12 evil spirits background story? I think the story and character bulding could be better. IMO.

4.
Circle of Atonement
It’s a drama movie about the victims of murderer. Don’t expect a thriller or action movie. 10 years after a murder case, Nam Chul Woong still can not forget his fiance who died. Nam Chul Woong then meets Lee Jung Hyun the daughter of the murderer and also her new adoptive dad, Detective Lee Sang Won. Can Nam Chul Woong take a revenge?

The 5th Wave
It’s a scifi movie based on novel. A teenager named Cassie who lost her ordinary teenage life because of alien attacks. Don’t expect too many thrilling scenes or scary alien. The aliens look the same with people on earth. (If you ever watched V or The Event). So it’s difficult identify them. The unnecessary love story and illogical things ruin this movie. No wonder the score is just so so.

Cheese in the Trap
Here is the webtoon adaptation by Soon Ggi, Cheese in the Trap. I read the webtoon. It’s a preproduction drama. TvN and Soon Kki writernim make a great collabo. The drama is just straight to the point. Very enjoyable. The characters are more alive in the drama. I guess, everybody has chosen Park Hae Jin as Yoo Jung. I am glad Kim Go Eun joined this instead of Suzy. She’s great on her previous movies. I like the quirky side of her. So funny. She will make you smile or even laugh while watching her. But unfortunately, the there’s a little unconvience because many Jung scenes got cut off, the favoritism towards In Ho, and other issues with Soon Ggi and TvN about the ending. PDnim has started this promising drama but PDnim also has ended this with those issues. Tsk.

The Finest Hour
Well made movie. How the coast guards named Bernie Webber and his team could save the crews of the stricken tanker during horrific storm. Anything can happen in a fiction but this happens in REAL LIFE. So, this movie becomes more special.

Madame Antoine
It’s not that interesting. Sorry, but it’s kinda lame. I hope Han Ye Seul will pick good drama in the future.

One More Happy Ending
I think the ‘second chance’ storyline makes the drama interesting. The thirties with their own storylines, give you a new color in romantic comedy drama. How a single parent finally fell for his chilhood friend, how an ex-idol tried to find her true love.
K-Drama
14.
Signal
Another interesting drama from TvN. If you love the crime drama or time travel drama, Signal has both. Park Hae Young from present and Lee Jae Han from past communicate through a walkie talkie and they are trying to solve the unsolved cases. Though their action will have consequences because the present will change. It’s really a recommended drama!

Deadpool
Now I understand why Deadpool got fresh tomatoes and positive reviews. It’s actually typical (superhero) Hollywood movie with the experiment, bad guy, good guy, saving the woman. But the script and the jokes make this movie special. I myself laughed or smiled several times when Deadpool dissed X-Man, Taken, or even Ryan Renolds himself. The funniest part for me is X-Man jokes (Stewart or McAvoy | only cast the two X-Man because of low budget movie) and even he teased the viewers on the after-credit scene . It’s really entertaining. Oh.. although it’s funny but of course it’s not for kids.

Room
I watched it after Academy Awards, Brie Larson who just won the best actress in leading role. I saw the great score from Rottentomatoes. So I watched it and the story is quite great. How a mother and a son who lived in a warehouse for years, and they are trying to get some help. The son sees the outside world for the first time. Both Jack and Ma have great performance in the movie. But it’s not a memorable movie for me.

Spotlight
I guess the drama from award winning style is not my cup of coffee. I expected there would be touching flashback stories of the victims. But the movie is focusing on the reporters and their news.

Descendant of The Sun
DOTS is booming. The rating is getting higher and higher. I guess because of The ‘Songs’ effect and the fresh idea of war background story. Personally I like the side/second couple story. I guess it’s Kim Eun Seok signature style. The second couple is becoming scene stealer. IMO, I think this drama is kinda overrated. The interesting thing Song Hye Kyo’s drama is head to head vs Rain’s. While Joongki’s drama is head to head vs Moon Chae Won. They’ve worked together on previous projects.

Batman v Superman
Going with the hype and those pros and cons, for me (who is not a fangirl of DC) the middle part is kinda dragging, Batman and Superman reunification is also too easy. But the positive one, I agree that opening scene is cool, the crazy Lex Luthor steals the scnes, thumbsup for him, and the finale battle featuring Wonder Woman is enjoyable.

Come Back Mister
Too bad, this drama is head to head vs Descendants of the Sun. Because Comeback Ajusshi is actually a good drama. It’s funny yet touching. It’s unique (there are many leads and they are connecting to each other). It’s entertaining. Oh Yeon Seo steals the scenes. She’s shining in this drama.

Goodbye Mr. Black

Five years later, he met a con man in the prison. Then Byun Jae Wook works together with Chiwon to counterattack on those who framed him.
It’s an interesting movie. Kang Dong Won x Hwang Jung Min = Combo. It’s an entertaining, funny crime movie.

One Way Trip / Glory Day
The four friends were taking a trip to Pohang for a farewell party to Sang Woo who is going to enlist in military. But that night, they met a beaten woman. They were trying to help but instead they were framed for murderer. This movie is about friendship and their problems, like Bleak Night or Confession. It gives you an uneasy feeling after watching it.

Another applause the realistic slice of life drama. The drama tells us about the story of mid-age women and their problems in life. From the lonely widow, unmarried woman, a mother and daughter problem, husband & in law problem, affair, etc. It’s really enjoyable. Full of laugh and touching stories. A recommended drama for everyone.

The Wailing
It’s an interesting horror/thriller/zombie/disease/mystery/religious movie from Na Hong Jin. It’s not just a mystery drama like Moss, so the 2.5 hours was filled with interesting story. You won’t be bored. In fact, even until the end, you’re gonna be think about the movie again and again with many perceptions. The Japanese Man, the Shaman, or the village girl will you believe?

Wanted
There aren’t many thriller/mystery drama, so I don’t want to lose the opportunity to watch this drama. Hye Jung’s son was kidnapped and the kidnapper demand Hye Jung to be on a live show where she’s solving the mission from kidnapper every single day until they reach 10 episodes. It’s quite weird but it brings a new ambience in thriller mystery drama.

Despite the pro and cons of Justin Lin, Pegg, the Sulu character, etc. No Alice, but we’ll meet Jaylah the new character who, I think, steals the scene. It also has a twist for everyone regarding Krall and Manas. And RIP Leonard Nimoy and Yelchin.

The Handmaiden/Agasshi
Park Chan Wook is known for his promising movie. Well, Handmaiden was adapted from Sarah Waters’ novel. The movie is about a young rich lady, her uncle, a swindler count, and a pickpocket girl who disguised herself as maid. The swindler count works together with pickpocket girl to make the lady fall for him. After getting married, the lady will be killed and they will split the inheritance. But, unfortunately, the lady and maid fall for each other. And the twist begins. It’s quite interesting until the first twist but after that, it’s kinda predictable. The explicit sex scene is kinda disturbing because it’s not that necessary actually. Everyone did the job very well, for the rookie Kim Tae Ri steals the scene.

Goodbye Single
This time, Kim Hye Soo acts as a different role from the Detective Cha that we’ve seen earlier this year. She transforms into Joo Yeon an actress with a scandal. One day she decides to have a baby. She meets Ji Dan, a mid schooler who got pregnant. The story is enjoyable and simple. It also gives you touching story and I really like a quote from Joo Yeon when she protects Dan Ji. People judge the pregnant girl, meanwhile the boy can still go around anywhere and no one blame him.

W
The plot is actually interesting but after watching it, I think it’s just a flat fantasy romcom drama. It’s also strange, about the title. How can writer Oh make a title “W” while actually already killed Kang Chul’s character even before “W” exists. He didn’t have a plan to make W Company but the title of webtoon is “W”. And Oh Yeon Joo, I don’t really like her character as heroine. She’s just too blind and obsessed with unrealistic character from manga. How can she choose manga life and do whatever to save Kang Chul even ignoring her own father. The story is getting weirder and wilder.

Age of Youth
Another slice of life drama. Maybe because the fantasy drama is too mainstream, slice of life drama makes a refreshing thing to watch. I like slice of life drama because ypu can sometimes feel relate to the story or character. I watched it because of the popularity. I love the friendship and their life story amongst these different characters. I like the cool Yoon sunbae. Meanwhile I didn’t realize the crazy Song Ji Won acted as a noble Lady Hyegyoung on Secret Door. She’s just so different!
