Do you work for Netflix? Or is it your first time watching an action movie?

What was great about the performance of JJS? I thought she was ok, what was great about it for you?

I don't ever want KJH to ever cut his hair, he has been my virtual guy since CJBIH. He is been slaying his villain…
He came across as a creep but not menacing. Wasn't this guy an extra before signing a deal with Netflix? I think I liked him in Money Heist until that stupid sex scene, I can't look at him since then 🤮

It was truly terrible. I originally gave it a 6 but have just dropped it to a 4 as the more I thought about how…
Yes, totally. In contrast, I watched A Company Man just now... that's how to tell a story in the same amount of time, polar opposites. These AI generated modern works are pathetic in comparison. From top to bottom.

Did she need to use a flame thrower? Were the baddies as hard to kill as Alien? Was there any symbolic significance…
Tick the spoiler box. Even though this film wasn't my cup of tea I'm not interested in spoiling it for others, that's just selfish.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! A great way to spend 1h30mn watching a strong heroine get rid of evil guys.Too bad she didn't…
Did she need to use a flame thrower? Were the baddies as hard to kill as Alien? Was there any symbolic significance to it? There has to be a point otherwise it all looks a bit stupid! 😆 And tbh the bad guys were as clever as AI video game characters, just waiting for their turn to be killed.

Well, I rarely drop movies, this one was so lacking in narrative no subtitles were required. It had less narrative than a shoot-em-up video game (speaking of which, see Carter for a more dynamic film). I didn't want to see the cast of Money Heist reunited so soon after I dropped that too. Finally the Hotel Artemis styling didn't fit, it just looked like a rip off, does Netflix only copy stuff? Bits and pieces ripped off from here and there, Tarantino, Besson, Caro, Jeunet, Jarmusch, et al. Anyway, no pazzazz for me. I'm too old for this I think. It wasn't even sexy, stone cold.

Edit: after writing I realised what I'd forgotten to say. It's fine to copy stylish films, but in so doing, the idea is to make your characters cool and charismatic - narrative is key, otherwise there's no way to express a personality. It comes over like a fashion show with punch ups, shallow style, visuals with no substance.

"Determined to provide a ray of light for those under her care, a young nurse navigates the world of mental health…
Wow, so woke, all the same as each other. That's the idea isn't it? Inclusivity is everything... only for people who all think the same way... which means exclusivity to those that don't. I infer that woke people represent exclusivity disguised as inclusivity. Impressive. You're all, like, gaslighters.

I welcome others' views, even long, nonsensical ramblings like yours. My point was that you use buzzword slurs without providing any evidence, you think the buzzword is all you need to prove your woke credentials as part of the group. But should anyone challenge a wokie on what they really mean.... they get mad. Right? 😉

I think the point is that Netflix misses the essence, the magic that drew us to kdramas. They may be turning a corner, but I agree with Antoben's views - they waded in with a pile of cash, hired anyone on the fringes, not the A-players of k-productions and managed to create an Americanised copy of K-drama like a recipe bowl with random snippets thrown in, mixed and churned out. Things are slowly improving. Mask Girl was notable.

I hope Netflix doesn't succeed in making Korea's most likable actress unlikable
She'll have the effect of making Netflix's own content more likeable instead 🤗 (*please* Netflix!)
Yesterday, a nominee for Korean culture minister (Yu In-chon) stated intention to make K-content more appealing internationally - this is more likely to alter the landscape, if it tries to steer towards the masses it's likely to compromise the things we currently love, but let's see. He wants to export even more. It could become like Japan, which generated a stereotypical set of genres for export to the 'taste' of international viewers, themes that tended to pervade everything: Anime, violence, sex - although more healthy stuff is also coming through now thanks to Netflix.

If this was an actor the title would be: "actor ties the knot with non celebrity gf", they would never emphasize…
No, I read stories all the time on MDL with that exact title.... actress (whoever) marries non-celebrity bf. All the time.
