When words/online comments can kill... A twisted, dark mystery thriller about the rise and fall of a young delivery man who obtains supernatural powers and punishes the wicked on the Internet like an avenger anti-hero.
An enjoyable historical romcom, with some cleverly embedded parody elements and a great bantering couple - at least before the couple became a real couple. There were some subplots that could have been omitted, or their screen-time could have been much less, but overall it was a feel-good drama with a satisfying closure.
A compelling, dark and twisted story, serving also as a social commentary, of an unprivileged young man and the depths of his desperation to achieve his dream.
Utterly sad and deeply melancholic story of two wounded, broken and socially & emotionally detached people trying to connect with each other, heal from their traumas and move on.
A dark, intense, heartbreaking story of loss, grief, anger, guilt and regret, centered around the strong bonding of two childhood friends. Quiet, slow and contemplative, yet very absorbing, mainly due to the powerful performances of Nagano Mei and Nao.
Warm, nostalgic, delicious. Comfort food, rewarding food, food linked to childhood memories, food for soul. Takenaka Naoto, with his timid yet honest and relatable monologues, his unique way of enjoying food and his inner samurai spirit was a real pleasure to watch! Time well spent.
Sexy, spicy, kinky, as well as funny and colourful, with two lovely FLs and a great sismance. An interesting and enjoyable adult sex comedy with many realistic and frank conversations among women, and lots of heartwarming and steamy moments. Unfortunately, the second half was focused mainly on romance, going the easy way through the same old tropes we see in every romcom. Overall, nothing groundbreaking but an entertaining watch.
Started this for the cast, finished this for the cast (and will be watching season 2 for the cast too!).
It felt that these 6 episodes were only the introduction to the story (and a long and confusing one tbh), creating more questions than the answers given. But, in spite of the mess this drama was, it was very entertaining and fun, mainly because Kim Nam Gil is always a pleasure to watch in anything (even as this cold, emotionally detached anti-hero), and Cha Eun Woo as a hot cheeky priest as well as the trio's interactions and bantering is something I never knew I wanted in a drama and I'm here for it!
Binge-able, compelling, classy revenge/makjang story that keeps you on your toes from beginning to end. Probably Song Hye Kyo's best performance so far, since this cold, emotionally detached anti-heroine character fits her persona the best. Top notch production, brilliantly filmed, edited and acted. Yeom Hye Ran was a pleasure to watch, as always, while Jung Sung Il and his chemistry with Song Hye Kyo was the drama's absolute highlight. Definitely watching season 2!
Eight couples spending a night and a morning together sharing food, feelings and solace. Fleeting moments, fleeting encounters, fleeting feelings, fleeting glimpses of their souls.
Beautifully written and acted stories, aesthetically palpable production, music, colouring and editing, brilliant metaphors and symbolisms. Highly recommended.
A suspenseful thriller, based on the revenge plan of a 80 year-old man with Alzheimer's disease, masterfully planned and believably executed. Frankly, this movie was a one-man-show, with a fantastic performance from veteran Lee Sung Min, while Nam Joo Hyuk's acting in a more serious role was a pleasant surprise.
With a stellar cast and Koreeda Hirokazu as the screenwriter & director, this was a must-watch for me. Not a masterpiece, but definitely a nice, rewarding watch. A slow-paced and very emotional, affectionate road trip of three broken, abandoned and lonely people (plus a kid and an infant) forming a found-family bond and learning again to belong, trust, love, heal and forgive.
A full action film noir, focused on an undercover yakuza hitman and his dynamics/bromance with a wild cult-raised partner. Bloody, ruthless, with many hardcore action and torture scenes, definitely not for the faint-hearted. Excellent performances from Okada Junichi and Sakaguchi Kentaro.
Dark, strange, gripping, extremely triggering and graphic. A slow-paced, almost plot-less and quiet film, depicting the brutal, empty, nihilistic lives of five outcast teenagers. Watch at your own risk.

Such a waste of cast, money and time.
