Officer Black Belt turned into stabbing porn, it was toned unevenly, transitioning from one style to another in a clumsy way. As such, it's a badly constructed film, so no place in any top 20.

I don't think it was a woke film, I really liked it. It wasn't preachy, political, pushing a message etc. It was a proper story written from the ground up - I try not to let my dislike of wokeness turn into homophobia.

This is different to, say, Lady Ok which is clearly instigating an agenda - that's another topic though, it takes some explaining what they're up to behind the scenes.

Why isn't Love in the Big City included? Top cast and director, good film - better than some of these imo.

Alienoid 2 (and 1) were art movies dressed up as sci-fi. The first one was better, neither was great, a little bit pompous and self-indulgent.

I loved Kim Go-eun in Exhuma. She had the bewitching aura of a shaman.

You're marginalised. In what way?
You're a racist for sure, read what you just wrote.
"has been tarnished by white people who are afraid of their own shadow called accountability."
If a white person said the same they'd get imprisoned. Why should you get away with it - because you're marginalised?

It is not race fetishizing, Bless.

Where did anyone say 'attractive' and in what context are you perceiving this - do you know what comprehension means? Your claim of fetishising mixed race children is racist and deviant, it's coming from you, not the OP. Along with your other comments about race, you're trying to imply another person is racist, you're pushing the woke us-and-them narrative, trying to force them to agree with you. There was no racism until you and injusticia, douche, or whataever they call themselves today, joined the conversation. Similar to 'woke' - when racism, sexism, misogyny, homophopia, et al were suddenly everywhere. Your perception of this chat is simply you and some idiots desperately trying to keep the dying woke machine alive.

What you said was a perfectly normal, kind thing to say. The way it was twisted was too wrong to ignore, views like that are supported by the woke community because it's their whole raison d'être - telling others what to say and think, and using egregious insults (pedo, race, gender, you name it) to shame people into agreeing with them. Everyone supports kindness, inclusivity, diversity - who doesn't want all of those things? But wokeness tries to monopolise those terms for themselves, and portray all others as lacking in the most basic human qualities. It's time to stand up to it.

Yes, the facts are reality, feelings are the effect. Your 'fact' (haven't checked) that he filed while she was absent indicates she was, allegedly, potentially, abusive. Why do you 'feel' otherwise - surely my feelings align more with the fact?

What's that, the resurrection of kissasian?

I see what you mean, true, the North is firmly out of bounds to us.

Me too, I quite like it

Explain why it's ignorant

It could be that a director or writer felt compelled to present their own original telling of a well known story - there's also the possibility it's related to modern political leanings, or because it's believed there's an audience hungry for this type of material. I'd like to think there's no political message, it's just the modern telling of a good story.
Yoon Seok-yeol was forging closer, friendlier ties with Japan - one of the things that frustrated Yoon were anti-Japanese politicians who were pro the North. It all went wrong for him in the end - this type of film adds support to those on that side of things - if indeed there is a political meaning.
I'm also surprised by the number of films that highlight these political views - Exhuma for example... a scene where the whole cast looks longingly towards a view of the North, whilst at the same time the narrative was innately anti Japanese. I wonder how political the SK film business is, is it like Hollywood, where everyone is overtly left wing and woke?
Anyway, it's none of my business, I plan to watch Harbin to learn something and see what it's about, I'm a fan of Hyun Bin.

The responses from douche reveal the true person. They started off from a high place in a pompous manner and ended in narcissistic rage. These are the people behind wokeness when challenged and triggered. They wrote their pieces and cowardly blocked me.
It is the evil that lurks behind 'woke'. Finally the true colours are revealed.

I hear you. The worst actions of male victims of female rage are somehow leaked into the public domain... whereas a stoic male will keep the other's misdeeds private - as such, male victims are often accused as perpetrators when the reality is the opposite. Unfortunately for the real perpetrator it's a known phenomenon in psychology - just my feeling that Joong-ki is a nice guy, the innocent man. Sorry for the pun.

I realised what the problem is. They're probably supposed to run the vocal through Melodyne or other similar software, and there must have been a glitch. Reminds me how disappointed I was when originally besotted by Park Eun-bin's singing in Castaway Diva, until I realised it was all pitch corrected, maybe she can sing, maybe she can't, who knows?

Must admit I didn't see it. I'll try to find it on the recording. I much prefer to see a flawed but honest performance, so if they didn't use autotune or a pre-recorded track I'll give them credit.

If interested there's a channel on YouTube dedicated to the topic of dishonest vocals called Wings Of Pegasus. It's a real shocker, mostly US and UK artists exposed, but some South Korean also, Mamamoo were featured on a recent clip.

I wanted to watch this, but can't stand Viki. My loss. I watched something on Kocowa instead.
