As great as it was to finally see both Ye Suel and Professor cleared of the accusations leveled against them, I am glad to see the drama professionally and seamlessly undertake some very controversial matters from self-defense and partner sexual abuse to exam cheating and plagiarizing, but not only tackle the issues but articulate that choices have consequences. It's exactly the kind of awareness I love seeing a show raise especially when it comes to breaking the barriers of accepted societal norms. Kudos to the cast, director, scriptwriter, and the whole production team for a job well done.
I am so sad, this movie had been cancelled for the time being, because of Fan BingBing tax scandal.http://www.sixthtone.com/ht_news/1003079/fan-bingbing-war-epic-canceled-after-tax-scandal
It's on Netflix in the US AirStrike; I was excited to see Song Seung Heon and Bruce Willis (my favorite American actor) but disappointed with the final product; not sure if it was the directing or editing but it felt choppy, disconnected and almost all the acting seemed forced.
I like him a lot ... good to see him join the cast; I look forward to seeing him alongside Song Seung Heon (one of the most S.K. beautiful men, in my opinion.
I'm enjoying the burlesque humor in this drama; I'm typically not into this type of comedy, but I really like Jung Woo and figured I should try, and I am glad I did.
Congratulations to Beyond Evil for winning the best drama and screenplay of the year, and a thousand congrats to the beast of an actor Shin Ha Kyun for his best actor award, well deserved.
I do not fault Ha Na for doing her job, especially since she doesn’t know why the Deluxe team started doing what they do, and even if she did. On the contrary, I would’ve found it weird if she didn't pursue them. But if the law dispensed half the justice Taxi Deluxe does, there wouldn’t be a need for their services. In the eyes of the law, they may be mere criminals, but in the eyes of the many they’ve helped, they are heroes. But, I also like that Taxi Driver raises questions for society and the justice system to reflect upon, particularly the conditions which give rise to the levels of frustration, and indeed anger, that justifies vigilantism.
Today’s episode was in reprive mode, and the team needed it for sure. Get over the vileness of the last case, and deservedly so. I’m more than okay with the way Chairman Park Yang Jin met his ending; he decided to be blown away with his servers rather than face his bleak future; I can see the justice in that and accept it. And how relevant is this week's voice phishing case; who really among us hasn't been touched by fraudulent phone calls, trying to trick us into giving money or reveal our personal information; a new name for an old problem--telephone scams--whoever these scammers are they deserve what's coming their way.
They aren't zombies in the traditional sense; they are more like humans crazed by their own fears; they act like zombies but don't function like them; I'm not sure if you can call them scary, but they do scary stuff; I hope that helps.
I like that as the drama gets deeper into things, the cases are also starting to get deeper. I liked that the drama tackled this new case shinning a spotlight on the foulness of social class discrimination and its effect on society as much as I liked the idea of a diverse, socially mixed apartment complex. I, however, thought whoever placed the two different social class groups in one complex without first trying even to address the deep-seated, destructive, and disparaging social class prejudices showed a lack of understanding and total disregard to the issues at hand. It’s like they say a lack of diversity, perpetuated by discrimination, makes society weaker. Another great episode
I like Bossam for taking on the discriminatory effect of widowhood prevalent in many parts of the world today. How widows, particularly women, were and still are in some countries treated as practically invisible and with such disdain like they were somehow were responsible for their husbands' death is infuriating. In my opinion, this was nothing more than a discriminatory measure of control then and now over women left behind without men—a slow and painful social death.
I give it to OCN, Dark Hole is gripping as it is unsettling, and that’s one thing they excel at doing, the unsettling. And whatever this black mist is, it seems to feed off and grab an even stronger hold of those whose souls are darkened by whatever is buried deep within them. It explains why it couldn’t take complete hold of Lee Hwa Sun. Yes, she’s angry over her husband’s murder, but she hadn’t let it take ahold of her soul. The darker the soul, the stronger the grip. It’s like the mist is putting out what’s already inside the possessed souls, with one goal in mind mass hysteria.
I think what’s shocking from watching the first two episodes so far is how fast the mist spread its hysteria and more so how unaware everyone is of its extent. What’s worse, there isn’t a measure at least for now to defend against it or even warn others of it. It’s not like they even know what it is to fight it. One thing’s for sure, though I see a man with darkened eyes and popped out blood vessels looking like a monster, I’m running from it, not towards it.
Let me just say Lee Joon Hyuk looks fantastic. Dark Hole is totally my kind of show; I'm a sucker for survival dramas, especially zombies and resident alien-like themes. The camera work is totally brilliant. All I could think of the whole time Lee Hwa Sun and the little girl were trying to get away from the alien/predator-like creature was she's gonna need a much bigger gun. This show gives me a cross vibe between Alien and the Predator (I loved both movies)
Yet another great episode. It took me two hours to get through today's episode; that’s how hard it was, not because it was bad but because I was burning inside. I am in awe of this drama for continuing to tackle painful and intensely emotional controversy-charged issues in the most profound ways that make me pause and imagine what it might be like to be in each of the victim’s shoes. As they say, one will never understand someone else’s pain until they are the one feeling it. Evil exists in all of us; that is a fact, but so does the power to choose. Why anyone would choose evil over good mystifies me.
