THAT is what you have the right to call an excellent korean movie ! \o/
A strange mix of surnatural, slasher movie, pamphlet about working conditions (and more), japanese style (cold picture, no music) ... I loved it from beginning to the end !
The better way to watch it is to not see anything about it before (I read the resume before => the intro didn't have any effect ) and just enjoy the trip.
This is the kind of movie that makes fall in love with korean storytelling, it's different and refreshing. full of personality and ... with a good ending. ♥
Ok, this is a castrophe even by korean standard but I'm wondering: is this a real movie or an fanmade movie ? (O_o)
Because being so incompetent with a camera I can't even watch it without puking is quite a feat ... usually it's videogame with a bad FOV or full of DoF/bloom that makes people sick. (O_O)
A story written by a MAN (who don't know nothing about baseball) telling the difficulties of a WOMAN to play/enter baseball in a professional male league.
Seriously ... how could give money to produce a dumb story like that ?
If you know a thing or two about baseball you'll want to slap the scenarist for writing such a dumb female lead: she's didn't do sh*t in school, she don't sh*t in baseball, she didn't make any effort to be better than the others and she's supposed to be ... what ? Touching ? Inspirational ? Interesting ?
If you don't know nothing about baseball ... well, you'll not understand what's the movie about because the writer totally don't know what's he's talking about (women or baseball).
I gave this drama a chance, I've waited for the end to watch it all at once (and skip through the utterly bad moments) but NO ! It's S.H.I.T. ! Period.
Like the main characters, like how the acting, like the MAIN story BUT it's all drowned by ocean of stupidity, worthless characters, retarded substories, cliche melodrama and so on.
And the sister => D.I.E. I've seen sh*tty character, but her ? Holy crap she's insufferable ... in fact I stop (ep 7) because of her: there's shit everywhere, why should I bother with a good story ruined by so many flaws ?
Thanks to her I don't have to watch the rest, in a sense she' was useful ...
Amateurish writing, occidental movie like ... a complete catastrophe like a netflix project.
Played a game called Binary Domain some years ago, not the same subject but kinda: it has a better writing, a better pacing, a better acting than this.
when you can't even make a movie on par with a videogame, you clearly messed up ...
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell ... after ep 6 ... even at the end of ep 5 ... can't shake the feeling…
IMO it should have been a 6 eps drama, simple rape and revenge story and that's it. Now there's scooby doo plot twist and dilution to make the 43 minutes. Look at the first 20 minutes for ep 6: what is this if not dilution ? The whole first 12 minutes are so pointless it ruined the inevitable and awaited conclusion ... and after that, the road scene was so ridiculous it looked like the crew got rid of the actress more than doing some narrative effort. :/
Even the ep isn't that usefu in the endl: ok the last third is exposition (useful, I agree) but other than that ... was it really necessary to show this for 10 minutes ? Better than the first third of the ep but too long nonetheless. And cheap too: "hello, now there's a new character that's really important because of reasons" ... what was the point of the bullying and the rape ?
Honestly I've mixed feelings since they decided to come back on the sex tape and the identity of the girl: who gives a sh*t about the girl ? Brave done the f*cking. Brave done the cheating. Brave done the filming. Brave done the sharing (to his friend).
Who cares about the girl ? What's the point of the "maybe the girl in the video planned all this" plot ? She knew by getting f*cked that it was going to be on a phone she could steal and provoke the girlfriend to beat the crap out of Praewa AND the blondie friend to call his friends to rape her ?
Seriously ? SERIOUSLY ? (u_u)
Not that I don't like the show but ... it should have been a 6 eps story: rape, revenge, consumed by evil, she dies, cliffhanger SHE'S ALIVE ! See you in Long Khong 2 next year. :/
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell ... after ep 6 ... even at the end of ep 5 ... can't shake the feeling that the show is going to be bad because of the format (12 eps). :/
You see how hard it is to burn the rope ?You see how easy it is to take out the spike ? Why the fuck did they…
So yeah, an uninteresting starting point which doesn't make any sense to incredibly poorly illustrate a power struggle ...
Netflix gave a sh*tload of money so the writer think he's victor hugo ... sorry man but you're really not.
Too bad because the acting is good ... in a way it reminds me of Sketch: terrible writing but wonderful acting, you wanna watch but it's painful waste of talent. :/
Undoubtedly going to be the utterly overrated drama of the year. :/
These first 2 eps ... it's painful to watch something so NOT mastered. The narrative is a catastrophe: the starting point is a worthless and uninteresting accident of two stupid drunkards which can arguably be caused by a rich bastard (and the story doesn't make any sense BTW).
Yeah, sorry, not sorry: who gives a sh*t about these people ? Why should I care about a story like this ?
But it's just a starting point, it's all a pretext to illustrate the power struggle between police and prosecution.
And HO MEIN GOTT this is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. (u_u)
The way the writer explain the who's who and the what's what is by doing this: -X done that -Y done that -Z is this -B knows X -C isn't allowed by law CFE -A colluded with B -Y is the sister of W -DRE wouldn't allow X to do that -MLF is against Y and Z but nobody knows that B is a part of FBI HO MY GOD ! \o/
And this is a SHORT example of the narrative: it's a freaking clusterf*ck ! It's not mature, it's f*cked up ! There's no exposition, no development, no unfolding ... this is NOT how your do a narrative.
Take example on The Banker: it's full of information/subject/story, but everything is understandable, the writer talk about (more or less) common knowledge and situations you can relate. Take example on Punch: the story is also full of information/subject/story, but everything is understandable, the writer take time to expose everything everytime. Here, it's ... the writer fill up a a casket with everything he could, he throws it at your face, he's doing it again, and again, and again ... it's simply amateurish.
Plus, and that's the biggest problem: everything starts on an utterly stupid accident you don't give a damn about.
Take Punch: the story starts on a similar drama BUT the victims are children => you can empathize ! You can unfold a bigger drama about the banal accident ... But here, who can empathize with these two jerks ? Srsly, it's a darwin win ! (>_<)
And for a spoiler about the "photo" and something that doesn't make any freaking sense =>
Insufferable lazy, cheap, retard and paternalistic tearjerking fuckfest.
There's only ONE good thing to remember: there is NO "anti abortion" propaganda. Everything else is beyond sh*t.
One simple example: how to illustrate the hardships of being a single mother AND a hardworking person ? Answer => showing a single father struggling to raise his daughter after the mother passed away.
EVERY little things in the show is about men ! Men know how to do this, how to raise kids, how to be worried, how to think about future, how to be pregnant (yeah, that one was really funny ...) ... and EVERY time there's the piano playing in the background to insist on the sadness/touching/blabla moment you're watching.
It was excruciating, it was painful, in one word: IT'S SH*T !
Also the male lead: put your head under a lawn mower. These things aren't hair, it's grass.
Ps: on a side note => a baby is a little human being. so a baby is a HE or a SHE and certainly not a IT. A baby is not a chair, not a door, not a cup of tea not a freaking object so a BABY IS NOT A IT FFS ! (>_<)
PPS: abdominal expression (not sure if this is the right english word, it's when you push the belly to "help" the baby going out) is barbarism, not pediatric/medical treatment. (<_<)
For me it's a big no.
30 years old, playing a student ... yeah ok. (^_^)"
Not that I mind though, first fours are quite decent. (^_^)

So yeah, waste of talent, potential and time: ignore this and try Our Finest hour (https://kisskh.at/2403-our-finest-hour) instead.

Waste of time, go watch the (really funny) korean movie instead. :)
Terrible adaptation, go watch the (real good and funny) korean movie instead.
Netflix gave a sh*tload of money so the writer think he's victor hugo ... sorry man but you're really not.
Too bad because the acting is good ... in a way it reminds me of Sketch: terrible writing but wonderful acting, you wanna watch but it's painful waste of talent. :/
You see how easy it is to take out the spike ?
Why the fuck did they wanted to waste time by burning the rope when it's quicker to take out the spike and quickly make a picture on the beach ?
These first 2 eps ... it's painful to watch something so NOT mastered.
The narrative is a catastrophe: the starting point is a worthless and uninteresting accident of two stupid drunkards which can arguably be caused by a rich bastard (and the story doesn't make any sense BTW).

The way the writer explain the who's who and the what's what is by doing this:
-X done that
-Y done that
-Z is this
-B knows X
-C isn't allowed by law CFE
-A colluded with B
-Y is the sister of W
-DRE wouldn't allow X to do that
-MLF is against Y and Z but nobody knows that B is a part of FBI HO MY GOD ! \o/

Can't even watch one full ep, the female lead belong to the middle age. (u_u)
Because it's so sh*tty it can't be labelled as "movie" ... 8.1 for this stinking sh*t ? SERIOUSLY ? (O_O)
