Binsenjo (2021)
BIG NO. Overrated. RUN
I think there are ways to mix comedy and action, but vincenzo are bad at it. And, clearly, the characters are there just to sell some overreacted face expressions, but they are empty when it comes to content and I'm gonna tell you why. The problem is that Vincenzo doesn't make me care enough, BECAUSE the story is not developed enough. What are the motivations of the characters? Why they hate each other? How trauma influenced the personality? WHY they became who they are? What are behind their traumatic experience? SHOW US. NOT JUST "metion" with some amazing soundtrack and amazing view, the narrtive is the basis for everything and vincenzo's narrative is very weak. One example: why the daughter and father fight so much? Why she join a corrupt company? Because she is bad? And why is that?. Example two: why the villan is a psycho? He just born like that?. Example three: how did vincenzo lived his childhood? Why his mother abandoned him?. The fact is many thing leave gaps or are just cited or not even that. IMPORTANT THINGS. I love revenge, action, drama kind of plot but you have to make me feel what the character are feeling, and you don't do that just with a great cinematography and good actors. I watched 9 episodes always expecting something better. It didn't came. They had so much screen time, so many episodes, they could developed better things. It's very formularic. Even when they try to be different, it looks forced and fake (p.s.: im talking about the reality presented not acting). I guess the hype is because a important character died at the beginning of the series. But let's be honest, it's like they just wanna to LOOK cool and not really BE cool.
Because It's the First Time (2015)
Nice
It's a great option if you want some cliché, funny moments and if you want a short series about youth and especially about the 20s. It's mostly about a group of friend who have to overcome hardtimes, find who they are, find the meaning of their feelings and It has a romance on focus by part of the friends. But I warn you that the end it's not all flowers and happiness because MAYBE the couple that you want together don't end up like this. Its like they treat the guy as a main character but his end is exactly what a second male lead would get. Anyways, its not the best series of all times but i watched in the right time (I was tired of watching long kdramas and I wanted something cliché and about youth) because it provide what a wanted. It was a nice experience.
Seumuldaseot Seumulhana (2022)
Almost the best. Still a piece of art
I don't think you will regret watching because the ending could be better. It's about love, friendship, dreams, hardtimes, all of that with a energetic and endearing development. But we need to talk about the last episode. *Spoilers* They DID not show back yi jin, they did not show about the father of na hee do daughter's and na hee do loses some personality. Na hee was always strong and stand for her believes, but the end does not shows that. It's like she is someone else. And the part way before that, when she "forgot" about the amazing summer trip, no way. Na hee do would never forget. But in the end, she remembers. It supposed to be poetic? Because to me sounds more like she is not endearing anymore and no longer strong with her thoughts. It's not about growing up, she changed and I wonder why... Because of the brokeup? Really? They even clarify things and hug each other. I don't buy it. And it was a lack of consideration with back yi jin, we just get a post credit scene a little bit empty and it doesn't show the actor. Anyways, they did not need to get together, however it was not great ending.
Geu hae urineun (2021)
Overrated
It is a good drama. But there are better ones. And watching the drama and seeing a 8.6 rating, i don't think compatible. Here is why: don't evokes emotion with the script, it's repetitive (especially when they stop bringing the couple's past which was kind of funny and curious to watch), not only the story is repetitive, but the action of the characters and they waste good characters... Anyways, good points: beautiful cinematography, great actors, good start. It's what I describe as familiar and confortoble, but sometimes it's just too long, too empty and makes me feel indifferent. I would not recommend to anyone. It deserves some credit. However not so much. Go watch "twenty five, twenty one", if you want something meaningful, toching, warm and with nice rhythm that it is going to keep you interested.
Akmong Sunsaeng (2016)
It's really great. But it is also up to you.
I almost gave up watching it, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. I went without a lot of expectations and I was surprised. It's a short drama so the story doesn't have as much time to develop as some do, but I think they did a good job overall. The story is interesting and each episode you are curious about what will happen with each character. In short, it will entertain you if you look for: a not too heavy suspense + school drama, short, not so elaborate, but enough to hook you and stories with reflective (and i would say also teen) themes. And, for example, if it has been a while since you watched your last kdrama, its a great startover. Just a detail at the end that I think could be different to improve consistency. Overall 8.
Spoiler: I think it would be better if they don't forget the dreams at the end, so they could learn the lessons for real.
Yeoshingangrim (2020)
Don't follow the low rating....
If you want to laugh a lot with the characters, if you want to get emotional and if you like the cliché moments that makes you fall in love, you should definitely check out this drama. Ignore the low ratings, most refer to one of the characters not getting more what he deserved, which I agree, but giving a 6 or 7 is even more unfair, especially when you consider the whole drama.
Thoroughbreds (2017)
ITS SO BAD
It's like a food that looks good, but have no taste. It's a empty movie and really slow. Don't lose your time. You can force and think "oh it has a meaning", but no. And it's boring
Kol (2020)
Great movie but the end bothers me
Movie that got my complete attention. The story is surprising. Genuine and progressive performance. However, the scene after the credits is illogical and affected the plot. The present antagonist would have no way of making the call. And would have no way of knowing that her version of the past has died. After all, if she from the past died ... She from the present would not exist to do anything. I wouldn't mind having a sad ending, but that ending doesn't make sense. If it had ended up in the cemetery, it would have been consistent and still sad because of the people who died and the traumatic situation of the mother and daughter.
Cinderellawa Ne Myungui Gisa (2016)
My first k drama. And I did a fantastic choice
The story is normal for this type of tv show. BUT this is not a bad thing at all, because they also have situations that will suprise you in the process and actually they did a wonderfull job with the chemistry of the actors and with the beautiful lines of the script. It was very captivating, I fell in love together with the characters, I also laughed and cried. The sound track is soooo good, even nowadays i listen to the songs. Cinderella with four knights is for sure a irreplaceable and unforgettable.
Knives Out (2019)
Criativo e instigante
Vale muito a pena conferir! Ótimo roteiro e atuação. O enredo é viciante e você realmente se envolve com a história
