Kim Nam Gil at Never Like Before
10 October 2022
I usually watch Kim Nam Gil with playful and funny character. Here in this movie all his funny and playfulness are completely gone. He becomes very serious , persistent, and meticulous person. This proves that he worked hard to animate this character.

This is very serious drama unlike other korean drama that usually combine romantic and comedy into the movie to make more enjoyable to more people. I believe some persons might get bored to watch this. It is very idealistic. No romantic, no fun, nothing but thrill and suspense.

I think it will be classic. I don't think this kind of drama will arise again in 5 - 10 years from now.

Hard to be Digested but Great
13 May 2022
It is bit confusing at the beginning since Yusuke is seen frequently talking to cassette voicing by his wife and he talked about an erotic story with his wife. I almost want to shut the movie down but after the death of his wife the story begin to be interesting and made me sit tight in my seat. But this movie is not for every person. My wife could be feel bored and dizzy watching this movie. It should be watched from the beginning until end to fully enjoy this movie.

Alternate Version of John Wick
18 January 2022
This movie is like saying "What if John Wick becomes a family man". It is enjoyable to see the movie although many unrealistic things happened. I believe they will make the sequel of this movie since we do not have much explanation about "The Auditor" dad and his black brother.

Not Much Talk Many Blam Blam
14 January 2022
This is the kind a movie I like. Really Guy Ritchie's style. Although the plot is not so original and many unrealistic happened in this movie but it still good to see. Maybe some people will say it a bad movie but I do not care. I REALLY REALLY LIKE IT!!!!!

Not The Best of Bong Joon Ho Work
13 January 2022
Although almost all actors in this movie are play very well, especially Song Kang Ho, but the story is too weak. The reason why they had to circle the world with train is ridiculous. Why didn't Wilford make a space station that travel in the earth orbit. Much much safer and can conserve more energy. I mean with that extreme freezing cold climate, the metal in the railways, bridges, even on the train itself could deteriorate. Also the engine of that big train looked using much much energy. The movie didn't explain how the engine works. Is it nuclear powered or other energy source? If it is in space station, they can use solar energy as main power.

And the plot that the mutiny was by design is not so surprising. I can sense it when Gilliam persuade Curtis to stop his action at water car.

Crazy Confusing/Amusing
10 January 2022
It is like seeing Inception but in whole other concept. Crazily confusing but also Amusing. I don't know how exactly they combined the past and current shot but at several scene I feel like the actors made "manual" inverted movement (not done by CGI)

Simple Plot But Entertaining
6 January 2022
The movie a bit dull at the start but the it is getting better from the mid until end. The plot is pretty simple but because of that the story focus in one object.

BIG BIG SLASH EVERYWHERE
6 January 2022
It is more enjoyable to see Himura Kenshin fully release his beast in this movie. Slash, slash, slash everywhere no matter what happen (even killing her loved one). I think this is the most fighting scenes than the other Kenshin movies.

Samurai Version of John Wick
5 January 2022
Watching this movie from the first movie until now is very pleasing. They adapt the manga version into real version perfectly. Even every character were perfectly built. If John Wick is full of gun fight, Rurouni Kenshin is full of beautiful sword fight.

Anybody Could Be Relative to The Protagonist and Anybody Could Be Resurrected
4 January 2022
This is the worst Fast & Furious franchise ever. The writers seem to lost their creativity. Why should they put John Cena as little brother of Dom. He has more wrinkle than Vin Diesel. The storyboard is so predictable: at the end the two brother work together to eliminate the villain. Nothing new happen in this movie except the vehicle involve is getting massive and sophisticated.

Six is Maximum
30 December 2021
I rated 6 just because Reeves and Moss is my favorite actors. If it is not because of them I will rate this movie 5, 4, or ...... may be even 1.

The plot is so predictable. Even the reason why Morpheus and Smith is getting younger is so predictable. No need for WB to make another sequel of this movie.

Nice TV Movie with Strong Cast
2 June 2021
Firstly I want to say that I am glad that Pyo Ye Jin replacing Na Eun APRIL. She is one of my favorite Korean actress. And not to forget exotic beauty of Esom. This TV movie wins almost all of my heart. The script is also perfectly built with many beautiful fighting scenes. The male actors also played they roles perfectly. I am looking forward for Season 2 of this drama. BTW, I support the removal of case expiration in South Korea. 15 years are not enough to let the method and technology in solving cases developed.

SLOW & DEPRESSIVE MOVIE
16 February 2021
This movie pace is slow and feels depressive from the very beginning. It is like to represent the feeling of the main character, Jong Su, who does not have settle way to make a living. Hae Mi is not far different with Jong Su. She has a weird way of thinking. The cameras in this movie seemed to use gloomy filter to make the movie even depressing. Almost nothing looks beautiful here in this movie.

Better Than Peninsula
8 February 2021
This movie is not as good as "Train To Busan" but still better than "Peninsula". The bond between Yoo Ah In and Park Shin Hye is quite strong. Park Shin Hye whom usually played as sweet and soft girl, here she becomes very tough and skillful girl. I love to watch her performance here.

INTERESTING DRAMA WITH POWERFUL CAST
8 February 2021
The story is not really my favorite but the casts, such as Yoo Ah In, Lim Soo Jung, and Go Kyung Pyo make this drama more alive. I enjoy to watch every episode per episode and can not miss one.

I just Love It
4 February 2021
Well it is only like a zombie video game but I love the action scenes but if the CGI could be built better the movie will be more entertaining. Heart pumping from every beginning. no time to rest. We can feel the rush almost at all scenes.

Funny Tragic War Movie
4 February 2021
The story line is easy and predictable but quite touching with a view as both of the side are victim and do not want the war to be continued. Yeo Jin Goo is proven to be young great actor. He should get ticket to international movies like Lee Byung Hyun.

Usual Story But With Unusual Actor
3 February 2021
The story is not so special but Park Shin Hye and Yoon Si Yoon made it the drama more alive. Especially Yoon Si Yoon, he is not just handsome but can play many different character. Shin Ye is so beautiful and charming actually but here she looks clumsy and awful. Without these two player this movie will be very boring from the beginning. But because of them I want to watch this drama every episode per episode.

Nice Story of Manufacturing Company
30 January 2021
I was a bit pessimistic about this movie. I thought it will be boring since they use manufacturing as background. But my doubt is disappear after watching eps. 1 and I never jump over episodes. I watch them one episode to another since every story in every is interesting to be watched. Some K-dramas don't have very interesting story that we can jump over 2 or even 4 episodes and you will not miss a thing since the story quite boring and easily to be predicted. But this Ms. Lee is not like that. You should watch every episodes since the story is rich.

A Hard Day (2014)

World Class Actor with a World Class Result
22 January 2021
Lee Sun Kyun really is a world class actor. He could play as a dirty cop in this movie, then a very patient person ini My Myster, and then a cocky big boss in Parasite. A Hard Day really exploits acting skill of Sun Kyun. We could feel how depressive his situation is. The movie really centralized in Sun Kyun character. All other actors are like only supporting role. I also love the pace of this movie. For me it feels like medium pace, not too slow but not to fast either. Some parts even feels like Tarantino's style. My favorite director.

Interesting Detective Movie
11 January 2021
This is interesting movie with complicated story.

I give special credit for Lee Elijah who played quite different character than before. Usually she played as beautiful, calm, and elegant woman but here in this movie she played idealist and strong willed reporter.

Good Kdrama About Life of The Judges
10 January 2021
The story did not make me get bored. That is the strongpoint of this movis. Of course we do not have to forget all the actors who mostly played well in this movie. Some people said they got amazed by acting of Go Ara as a hyperactive judge in this movie but I more more appreciate her work in: "Hwarang" and " Haechi". In those two dramas she did not get major role as in "Miss Hammurabi" but her acting is unfogettable and I always miss her present in every episodes of them.

Movie with a Good Fighting Scenes
6 January 2021
This is a good movie but the character build up is weak. This is the main problem of this movie that ruin enjoyment in watching it. Luckily the casts played their role so well, especially: Jang Hyuk, Joe Taslim and many senior competent korean actors, like: Jang Hyun Sung and Jeong Man Sik.

Better Than Steel Rain 2
1 January 2021
Although the topic in both movies are similar: coup, nuclear, and korea unification but for this steel rain is better than the sequel. Emotional bound between every character feels very strong. While the sequel is more emphasizing on submarine warfare and other advance technology.
