Resonate I have an obsession with Korean crime drama huh? Sure, I do enjoy Taiwanese crime drama (still considered Chinese though since Taiwan is called the Republic of CHINA) and Japanese crime drama. The show A Killer Paradox explores the world of vigilante justice. The show can be so full of spoilers and the budget seems so high that it was cut into only eight episodes. Yes, they did the same thing with My Name which obviously had a high budget. There's also what I'd call to be an unnecessary nude scene which hardly contributed to the plot.  The plot has Lee Tang (Choi Woo-Sh ..read more

  It's no secret that I got critical about Super Sentai last 2013-2016, I was in denial about me being a fan of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, and that I soon enjoyed Kamen Rider more than Super Sentai. However, I find myself detached from Kamen Rider Gotchard presumably due to the extremely young cast. I could recall a conversation where me and a person compared the newer Kamen Rider to a telenovela. Kamen Rider Drive was something that I'd call sort of a dream come true. The whole series might be compared to Knight Rider or Automan for its inspiration.  Drive isn't exactly the bes ..read more

It's known that I don't find Jin A Nana all too great. There are times I feel that she's good as a sideline character but not as the mainline. Sure, I enjoyed her in Oh My Ladylord or Memorials. However, I feel Nana's acting is simply meant to be meant for the sideline. So yeah, her role as Baek Ryun in My Man is Cupid was okay. It's because Baek Ryun isn't the main character. Baek-Ryun as a vet does fit Nana well. Catwoman in the Batman series is pretty much an animal lover. Meanwhile, Cheon Sang Ruk still does a good job as Jang Dong Yun. The story involves the romance of fairies and huma ..read more

There are two ongoing mythological supernatural shows namely My Demon and My Man is Cupid. These are still ONGOING so I can't expect to write a review any time soon. I'm just a casual fan so I tend to marathon some shows every now and then. I think about the two odd romances that I felt were released at the wrong time. I think My Demon should've been released in October, not November... Horror doesn't always have to be scary, right? My Demon introduces Korean folklore in a modern setting. The story of a 200-year-old demon turned-human named Jeung Gu-Won (Song Kang) and a businesswoman named D ..read more

Sure, Halloween is OVER but I decided to finish watching this Manga-style Anime anyway. I still thank Japan for actually creating Manga and Anime. I still think Chinese entertainment, Taiwanese entertainment, and South Korean entertainment learned a lot from Japan. A shame really that Japan tries to be more exclusive than not. I watched through Devil Punisher which is actually 天巡者 (Tiān xún zhě) or Skywatcher. I don't exactly get what's with the international distribution vs. the localized titles. I guess the title Devil's Punisher is a lot more appealing to Western audiences. The inter ..read more

I didn't expect myself to be too captivated by the performance of Uyghur actress, Dilraba Dilmurat. Her name's obviously not Chinese and she's from an ethnic minority. I tend to joke how Dilraba, not Naomi Scott, should've played Princess Jasmine in the Aladdin movie. I tend to joke Naomi herself should've been playing the Goddess Guanyin in Journey to the West instead. I always thought of Dilraba as an, "She can do it, she's fine." actress. It's pretty much how I treat some South Korean celebrities who can act but can't act that well. I think Dilraba still did a good job overall in her role ..read more

I decided to watch the nine-episode-long Doona! starring Suzy Bae and Yang Se Jong. The first time I saw Se Jong was with Shin Hye Syun in Still 17. I'll admit that Hye Sun can be a better actress than Suzy. It's not that Suzy can't act. The difference is that I watch any show with Hye Sun for the content. I tend to watch Suzy only for the eye candy. Ironically, I skip the ABiaS-CBN teleseryes even if their female actresses are prettier than those shows I watch.  Suzy's first time to play in a music-themed drama was Dream High in 2011. After that, Suzy got more focused on other ro ..read more

\ Nothing is that original these days, right? We have Asian shows taking inspiration from American shows and American shows adapting Eastern shows. In my case, I kinda prefer Asian shows inspired by American shows (such as Toei heroes that blatantly copy from American superheroes) over the American licensed adaptation of Japanese shows (ex. Power Rangers though I was a fan of Saban's Super Mario Bros. Super Show). Bulgasal would be copying elements from stuff like Twilight and the late Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. The Bulgasal is the Korean take on the vampire. The one I'm most famili ..read more

  There are times I feel too embarrassed to admit that I do enjoy some messy shows. For example, I was afraid to admit that I liked the unpopular Kamen Rider BLACK RX. I could agree that BLACK RX is a mess but it still deserves some credit for trying out new stuff - just that it wasn't done properly. Right now, I feel somewhat similar to Kamen Rider Faiz. Heck, there are times I feel that Faiz could've potentially been better than the fan-favorite Kamen Rider BLACK. The show may be full of unlikable characters, Toshiki Inoue trying to get as dark as he could (and he even made a cameo here ..read more

Knowing that Shin Hye Sun has been doing movies like Target (where she becomes the victim of a scam) and the legal movie Innocent - I really look back at her role in Stranger. I really must admire her versatile acting and I can't help but drop a tear after her character got killed off too soon. I really feel like the second season was boring without her incredibly intelligent character. After that, she was put into typical love stories like My Golden Life and Still 17. She was also put into Mr. Queen which she proved herself. Overall, she's been that lady who you'd admire for her intelligence ..read more
