the suicide by the police investigator made no sense, there are easier ways to get his mentor involved without…
exactly, it made no sense. It's as if he had watched The Knockout and thought, oh no, writing letters to higher police admins will not help before 20 years have passed. (There are also other elements in The Punishment that are similar to The Knockout, like the village refusing to give up on its land)
I really like the whacked, absurd humour of Uncle. Reminds me a bit of The Long Season, especially as Chen Ming Hao is in this drama too. He's such a presence. Although Uncle is not a thriller, we get our fair share of sympathetic small time gangsters (am currently at ep 9).
I’m so confused watching this drama. It feels like a lot of things are being left out or edited heavily. Who…
Me too. I'm at ep 14 and not really understanding. A lot of things happen without explanation. I swear I watched every minute but it feels like I've missed bigger chunks of it.
Ep 12 was real fun again. The scenes where they're on the filming set are the best. The director and the manager are such enjoyable support characters. Am cheering at Lee Jung Jae's outfits! Way to go! The 2nd couple is best forgotten, their whole thing seems very forced.
I laughed a lot watching this drama. Truly enjoyable. Sad that people are missing out since for me this is undoubtedly one of the best k-dramas this year. The ending was not as good as I hoped, though. Sullivan's actions and motives made little sense. And the congresswoman got off too easily. I don't understand why they didn't force her to reveal the evidence concerning the corrupted court verdict. Since that's what Sullivan wanted. And she was in their den, just carelessly hanging out when she could have stopped the bombing by revealing the evidence. But the whole drama, the found family with the neighborhood army, the duo Yoon Kye Sang and Jin Seon Kyu, was so preciously good and funny. The scene with the mini race cars in particular had me choking (and the background music in that scene, damn good humour). And how even the laundry uncle turned out to be an ace sniper shooter in the last episode. I don't normally rate action but in this one it was really good. Hope to see YKS in more action roles.
Russia Hands China New Evidence on Japan’s Unit 731: War Crimes That Were Never Properly Answered For China has received a new batch of Russian archival evidence exposing the full scale of Japan’s Unit 731 biological warfare crimes and this time, it’s not testimony, memory, or interpretation. It’s documents, confessions and trial records. What is it exactly? 👇 👉 These Russian archives cover 1939–1950 and include: - Trial transcripts - Soviet investigation files - Internal government correspondence - Medical assessments by microbiologists and war crimes experts They document the 1949 Khabarovsk War Crimes Trials, where Soviet investigators: - Identified 200+ individuals linked to Unit 731 - Publicly tried 12 Japanese war criminals - Extracted confessions admitting biological warfare and human experimentation
This confirms what Japan’s postwar narrative has spent decades trying to deny: ➡️ Unit 731 was a state-run, military-authorised war crime programme.
What Unit 731 actually did? 👇 👉 Based in Harbin, Unit 731: - Performed live human experiments without anaesthetic - Infected prisoners with plague, cholera, anthrax and typhus - Conducted frostbite tests, vivisections and weapons trials on civilians
At least 3,000 people were directly experimented on. Many more died from biological weapons deployed in real-world conditions across China. 👉 Unit 731 scientists: - Were never prosecuted - Were given immunity by the United States - Handed over their data in exchange for freedom - Later worked in postwar research institutions
Recommendation: Lost Identity (2024) is a very good espionage drama that deals with the Japanese bioweapons development and human experiments in China during WWII. The ML (Johnny Huang) is an escapee from a bioweapons research lab.

Wikipedia: Shiro Ishii
The US brought the Unit 731 scientists to the US immediately after Japan surrendered hence they faced no trial for these and many more atrocities. Shiro Ishii continued his bioweapons research in the US. He was brought by the US to Korea and used them on North Koreans during the Korean war.
