This got some laughs out of me. But the shift in tonality really doesn't fit, this is a tragic example of a cerebus rollercoaster (pun not intended), the tones are all over the place, and whether it was intended or not, they thoroughly failed at combining them. I don't think a work needs to explicitly (nor always implicitly) condone things, but if this was trying to sell me on the protagonist's character development, then it did a really poor job at it. Mainly for the movie's treatment of its female characters. The ending is proof that trying to be original doesn't always work out.
Ngl I can't believe he's still jus 26?? So he did THAT in Beyond Evil at like what, 23 years old? And held his own next to a veteran actor in The long way home when he was still just a teenager? Crazy talented.
Short movie I could only find in an obscure site with low quality and Italian subs, and had to use the camera function in google translate during my whole watch—as well as muster up my French and Spanish knowledge and the little bit of korean I picked up throughout the years of watching kdramas—why yes I love it! Seriously though this was super fun to watch, what's there not to love? Not so subtle lesbian subtext paralleled with a vampire coming out, lesbian found footage comedy, Shin Ha Kyun?? Absolutely loved this.
Had this collecting dust in my plan to watch until I went to clean up my list a little and saw YJG, what a surprise. The movie was funny and heartwarming and sad. Younger YJG holding his own alongside a veteran actor?? Damn!
how are you going to ruin a premise this good by killing the most interesting character with the most prospects and so early on too?? I have to admit, at the very least it doesn’t feel dragged on despite the ep length, there’s always something happening, which you can enjoy if you just turn off your brain. Terrible ending, no other words for that. Really wish they went a different direction and used the clown king duo to their full extent, that would have made this truly unique, instead it’s now just your typical historical kdrama with lazily written court infighting and an even worse than usual ending.
Strong core message, beautiful acting, chilly and bold story, though I felt like it lost me somewhere. Still was moved by the ending. Was going to use this in my euthanasia essay for my bioethics class, unfortunately I couldn't find it online back then and only remembered it now.
