This movie is so depressing and heavy with a quiet and cold atmosphere. It made me feel empty but tears also couldn't stop coming out from my eyes. Honestly, this movie made me scared of my future. It's a deep and thought provoking movie about a highschool graduate in her job training and the series of hardships she went through it while experiencing exploitation and overworking. I know call center agents have a very stressful job for dealing with complaints and angry costumers, but shouldn't there be a rule where if the agents are being harassed or threatened, they have the right to talk back, file a complaint to the higher ups and blacklist the costumers? It was so frustrating to see how they're being treated like emotionless robots by their costumers and higher ups. You could really feel how the female lead was overflowing with pressure while losing hope and how the light in her life is gradually dimming. It was even disgusting how all the management behind the program didn't take responsibility, they just blamed others and tried to victimize themselves. It was just a repeated cycle of inhumane jobs and the tragedy that takes toll on the workers. The ending might be open, but I believe Sohee was served with justice after her phone was recovered and I'm glad that there's a caring police who takes her job seriously to uncover the truth and save the victim despite all the obstacles on their way. Even though this movie shows the dark reality, it also provides a sense of hope. And I really hope this movie at least made an impact and bring a better change to the society. There's so much to learn and reflect from it.
I watched many Korean historical movies, but this is probably the first one with a bit of comedic tone to it, so it feels refreshing. It's also amazing how this is a musical movie. Compared to the typical musicals, they don't have dancing or fancy props, they focused solely on the emotions and message of the songs that reflects their hardships and dreams while aiming for their independence and freedom. The characters' unity, motivations and stories really left a deep impression. The ending was tragic yet powerful. It's based in real life, so knowing the information at the end was heartbreaking. I hope the hero's soul found peace.
"Phases of the Moon" made me cry so much. I believe in reincarnation so this movie feels special to me. It was so emotional to see the connection between the characters and how their revelations unfolded. The concept about love and bond that transcends time and space is beautiful.
I love this movie that I had to rewatch it immediately after it ended so I could understand it better. I only experienced this from my other favorite movie "My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday" back in 2017. Coincidentally, they have a similar scene where the couple was talking while looking at the moon/the moonlight was shining on them after they made love.
Honestly, this movie pissed me off. Why the hell did they put so much efforts and easily solve the case of the culprit just for days, while the victim didn't get justice for years? It feels so unfair and it just made me hate the police more.
This was a good music school drama with good songs, friendship and teamwork of everyone while working hard to prove their talents together despite their differences and overcoming the obstacles on their way. But again, the romance ruined this drama. This drama has one of worst male leads ever! He's a disgusting narcissistic sociopath. He did so many wrong things and he's so annoying everytime he appears on the screen. The best parts are when he's gone. Can't believe how the innocent dumb female lead keeps on being swayed by him. It's so unrealistic and they just forced the love line for the sake of fan service I guess. When this drama could totally worked better without the stupid romance.
Why are Korean movies so underrated. I've never heard of this at all and it only has 16 viewers here on MDL. I thought "Space Sweepers" was the first Korean space movie and "The Moon" was the first Korean movie about astronauts... But "Super Nova" has been existing in the shadows. I guess it's because it's a low budget indie movie with unpopular cast... But it deserves more attention.
Sena Nakajima is one of the most beautiful Japanese women ever. The first time I saw her was in "We Are Little Zombies" (one of my top favorite movies) then I started seeing her photoshoots. She really has a unique beauty with mysterious aura. She's still young but she's already so stunning. I'm looking forward to see her future and I'm currently tuning her in her first lead drama "Wonderhatch: Soratobu Ryu no Shima".
Recently they've been more strict on the things being added here on MDL. Since it isn't a "drama or movie" they…
Oh is that why Jimin's Production Diary wasn't added in here? But anyway, I guess BTS is so lucky because they have a lot of contents added in this website including their Season's Greetings and Summer/Winter Packages 😂

I want to share this interview of BTS from You Quiz On The Block back in 2021:
“When something you didn’t dreamed of happens, you feel a huge pressure. I thought my singing career would end after winning 1st place on a music show and doing a concert, and that my life as a producer would begin. But they made us go to America all of a sudden. It was unexpected. I never thought we would ever go to Billboard Music Awards. We performed in an American music award show and it was terrifying. Because I never imagined it. “Who do I ask for advice?” If we knew someone who had done this, we could ask how to prepare for this. But there’s no one. I felt helpless. We performed hundreds of times but I was most nervous then. My hands were shaking. We sang ‘DNA’ at American Music Awards (in 2017). I normally don’t get nervous on stage. But I was really nervous that day because it was huge for us. I cried in my hotel room that night. “This isn’t what I wanted.” I didn’t want to be under that much pressure. And I knew it was the beginning. I knew there were more coming after that. It was terrifying. I couldn’t see the ground. When you’re in an airplane, you can sense that you’re flying when the ground is visible. It doesn’t feel like you’re flying when you’re in the clouds. I was honored and grateful, but I wasn’t sure if it was right for me. I wasn’t sure if all of this is what we wanted.” — Yoongi
“We’re in this huge hot-air balloon and it keep going on higher and higher, to the stratosphere, to the thermosphere, to space. It’s terrifying. I never thought I would fly to space when I got on this balloon. I thought we would float around for a bit and land on the ground.” — Namjoon
“I said ‘I’m scared’ a lot. We’re not special people so it was a lot of pressure to have these achievements. All of us felt sort of guilty.” — Jimin
“I got told off (scolded) by the other members for that (talking about almost disbanding). We were going through a really hard time, and I just started remembering those days. So, I said I was glad and grateful that we overcame it.” — Seokjin
“It was too much pressure. All we did was work hard, but everyone was saying we made a contribution to our country. All we did was work hard in something we can do well. It was scary. We told our company we needed a break, a pause in 2018. We had a month-long vacation. Our first long. It helped us refresh. After resting for a month, it made me want to perform again. I missed it. I cried a lot when we made #1 on Billboard Hot 100. I was finally ready to enjoy it. I accepted it and started enjoying it. I’ve seen singers who were past their prime could no longer perform like they used to (at venues). I’ve always thought it’s better to quit while you can before the public criticizes and mocks you. I want to be on stage until the day we graciously leave the stage. I think that’s the best way to come down (landing). I used to think we wouldn’t be able to bear watching the number of seats going down from 50K to 10K, 5K, to 2K. I thought it would be too sad. But as long as we have our fans (together), we won’t crash (no longer afraid).” — Yoongi
“It feels like we’ve compacted 20 years’ worth of experiences into our six to seven years of experience. So we were pretty exhausted. We were way past our limits. “Will there ever be an end if we continue?” Everyone was having a hard time due to these thoughts. We seriously considered quitting. We didn’t think this fame was a scale we could handle.”
BTS achieved a phenomenal worldwide success, but behind it was also an immmesurable pain and pressure they couldn't handle. It's really heartbreaking how much they've suffered to the point they thought of disbanding. But I'm so glad that they stayed even stronger together and never lose faith on their way. I'm so proud of them for always working hard while maintaining a positive attitude and mindset since they were young. And now, I'm also glad that they're resting, away from the public while doing their military service. I hope they stay healthy and happy as always, and they would come back better than ever.
This is one of the best Korean movies that tackles about social issues regarding toxic parenting and how it suffocates the child. It conveys powerful emotions. They gave background to the mother's side but I couldn't feel sympathy at all to her. She was just an obsessive, controlling and gaslighting witch. The daughter is forced to bear all the pain and guilt for her mother's unfulfilled desires and childhood scar while acting like a puppet who's restricted to everything, feeling lonely and helplessly trapped in a zoo. It's oddly satisfying how she died happily because she could finally escape from the hell her mother created. It's sad how she needed to run away from the monster so she wouldn't become a monster like her when she grows up. She realized it was a repeated cycle. It wasn't a lost, but a sacrifice for her. It's also tragic how there was no justice served and atonement from the mother. She was blinded by her narcissism while only blaming other people for her own wrongdoings. Sadly, her only son left is the new victim. The ending was vague but enough to show how the toxic parent never learned anything. The daughter could have live happily if only she had freedom and genuine care, where she at least experienced from her friend.
It's a low budget indie movie with unpopular cast, but it deserves more recognition.
This reminds me of typical kdrama specials. Not just romance but also about family, friendship, dreams. Simple yet beautiful. Love the nostalgic yet refreshing vibes of this one.
The motivations were not realistic. What kind of idiotic parents punish their daughter's friends? The reason behind…
Those are DESPERATE parents who were drive crazy due to their daughter's unfair death! And they weren't just her friends, they were all perpetrators and bystanders of her BULLYING. They were being punished and taught a lesson while playing the mafia game where their roles are unexpected (also contradicts to real life). And the ending wasn't just a dream trope, it was a game of loop which is unique and twisted.
But people have different tastes and others are just not satisfied or can't understand despite the clear reasons lol.
It was fake, but it's still pornography that people spread in the internet, and used it to make fun and sexualize…
Yes. You have no idea how much people die because of cyber crimes. And nowadays, AI/deepfakes can easily manipulate people and ruin lives. It's scary because it's engraved in the internet and will keep haunting you since people won't even care if it's fake or real.
