EL 2.8

As someone who already watched the Japanese live action version, this one is actually way better and more astonishing compared to the originals with a storyline that mesmerizes and gives you scares in some of its scary and gory scenes. The parasytes were very sadistic but they were surprisingly so realistic to the point that you won't know it was done through VFX edit if you don't check out the making of the drama or the behind the scenes clips. Speaking of that, the whole editing process took years to complete, respect to the crew involved in this. Furthermore, I can say that the creators were very clever to recreate a new story instead of adapting it from the manga itself. With that said, this drama has gained acclaim for its unique fusion of science fiction and horror themes. Adapted from a Japanese manga, it has become a standout in South Korean television due to its engaging storytelling and impressive visual effects. The main character's symbiotic relationship with a parasite adds depth to the narrative, reminiscent of works like "Venom" (which I've watched before) but with its own distinct twist. The series has been praised for its ability to maintain tension and deliver a satisfying season conclusion, leaving audiences eager for more. It showcases the innovation and potential of South Korean TV production. However, some reviews suggest that while the action and visuals are remarkable, there could be further exploration of the underlying themes. Overall, "Parasyte: The Grey" has resonated with both viewers and critics, offering a captivating blend of horror, sci-fi, and drama that keeps viewers engaged throughout. Therefore, I'll talk more on the storyline of the drama with few spoilers in this review because I really love it and will include it in my super long list of favorite kdramas.

SPOILER ALERT As someone who loves watching dramas with a horror, thriller, suspense, and mystery genre this one is typically a top notch drama with a storyline that mesmerizes and gives you the chills in some of the scary and breathtaking scenes. There were also several jumpscares but surprisingly they were very natural to the point that it did not look as if it was made up in a fake way. This show is considerably my favorite horror drama because all of the aspects were delivered beautifully and were not exaggerated. Let's talk about what made me feel so eager to watch it, the first thing I saw was the kdrama poster with a girl who looked a bit creepy. I didn't know who the main leads were at that time because I didn't watch the trailer but became curious when I searched it up on google. And that was the time when I found out that the main female lead is Kim Tae Ri I immediately clicked the drama. Watching the first episode made me crave for more especially since each episode ends with a cliffhanger. Many aspects of this drama were enjoyable due to the fact that Taeri played a double role (one as Gu Sanyeong and another one as the evil spirit) both of them have very distinct personalities and she managed to deliver that so excellently to the point that it made her deserve another baeksang award. Sometimes, I couldn't differentiate between Sanyeong and the evil spirit and that built up the tension levels. I wasn't particularly scared by this drama but some of the scenes were just made to give me the feeling of suspense. Those scenes kinda gave me goosebumps and reminded me of the other horror movies I've watched before. Aside from that, the male leads (Oh Jeong Se and Hong Kyung) also did an outstanding job in portraying their respective characters. They were really prominent in their roles and it showed that both of them cared for Sanyeong. Although some ppl may expect a romance between Hongsae and Sanyeong, I'm pretty much satisfied with the way it goes for them since this drama wasn't meant to be a romance show. But anyhow, the three got a happy ending they deserve since they found their true happiness. However, seeing Sanyeong feeling happy and being able to look around her colorful surroundings before turning blind kinda broke my heart because she doesn't deserve that eye condition after all she's been through.. Overall, I'm giving a 9.5/10 for this successful masterpiece since there's a small aspect that needs a fixing but otherwise it is a certainly a must watch drama. Plus it entered the list of my top 5 favorite kdramas.

I was actually contemplating on whether I should give this movie a 1 star or a 3 stars. But anyways, I guess I am going to give this a 3 star instead. First, I can tell that this movie could still be improved even further because starting from the middle to end part of the movie, it doesn't make sense. I have a lotta questions when I watched the movie like: How could Charlie suddenly develop more powers even though she wasn't trained by anyone? How does she sense the whereabouts of her father? and many more. In my opinion, the movie is not very bad because I am in awe with the acting of both Ryan and Zac, so I decided to add 2 more stars for it. Overall, I must've anticipated and expected too much from the movie and it'd be better if the movie is 2 hours long to explain the absurd parts of it. Good job to the casts tho.

This show is amazing! It is well written and beautifully portrayed. I am more of a rom com fan but I do love suspenseful kdramas, So, I wanted to give it a try for the main leads, Park Hyung Sik and Han Hyo Joo. It grabs your attention from episode 1 and somehow blends realism into this thriller genre. The zombies aren't actual zombies... but infected humans do get thirsty and want to drink blood. However when an infected appears in a certain episode, it only lasts 15-20 minutes initially and they can return to their normal human state. Therefore, it's more of the human nature and what happens to people (especially those uninfected but afraid of getting infected) in extreme pandemic situations that is riveting and interesting to watch. Han Hyo Joo and Park Hyung Sik are both very competent and have a great bond/relationship with subtle hints of romance it wasn't really shown. Yet it does seem to be growing and still makes my heart flutter. I'm so glad it's a happy ending. Overall, I'm satisfied with this drama even though the episodes seem to be face paced. Honestly, to make it better, they could've added more romance scenes. Despite that, I can say that this drama is highly recommended and is a must watch since it's worth watching.

This drama is just really really good with the unique plot and it's perfectly written. I just love every episode of it. It has entered the list of my favorite kdramas. Normally, these types of kdramas are funny for the entire 16 episodes but we only laughed when watching until episode 12. From episode 13 onwards, this drama became emotional and I almost cried when watching those episodes. I felt the pain Seon Ho felt in the drama, meaning I can actually know what he's feeling during the emotional parts. However, this kdrama is a healing one too because we can laugh out loud when watching the first and the mid episodes. The couple faced many twist and turns but got a happy ending they deserved. Such dramas are rare so I recommend y'all to watch it and I'm pretty sure you'll love all the characters and the storyline.

This drama is one of the first ones which I didn't watch until the end. Some episodes of the drama were heartwarming but when it gets to the ending part it became very sad and heartbreaking. That's one of the reasons why I decided not to continue until the end. I stopped at episode 10 cause I spoiled myself by checking out the reviews of this kdrama. However, the actors are really good in portraying their respective roles. I love the 2 main leads Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Si who did a fantastic job in portraying their roles. Can't explain much about this drama since I didn't watch it until the end but here's a plot synopsis of the drama: In May, 1980, during the turbulent times of the Gwangju Uprising, Hee-Tae (Lee Do-Hyun) and Myung-Hee (Go Min-Si) fall in love. Their love seems destined by fate. Hee-Tae is a medical student, who entered medical school at the top his class. He seems like an easygoing person, but he also has an unyielding spirit and obstinacy. Myung-Hee has worked as a nurse for the past 3 years. She is a lovely person, who stands up against what is not fair.

I finished watching this movie Unforgettable 2 weeks ago. I knew that it's a heartbreaking movie but I still forced myself to watch this since I'd like to get to know more about Exo's Kyung-soo. Even though it's very heartbreaking, the effect lasted for just a day. I don't really cry a lot when watching kdramas but this one made me cried. These kinds of movies gave me a stimulus to cry so I can let go of things which were piling up in my heart. Back to the movie, all actors did a fantastic job. Kyung-soo is one of the Exo members who should gain more recognition in the kdrama world. I don't know why he's not gaining the attention he should get as an actor. He's an intense actor who's eyes speak. But honestly tho, he's prolly one of the best Exo members who can act. Let's move on to female lead Kim So-hyun (my favorite actress). She always entertains me in all of her dramas & movies. Her acting skills are superb. She's young and so talented. I really appreciate her. I guess this movie will be a must watch. But for those who are sentimental, please prepare a box of tissues.

There's a lot of positive things to mention about the drama. This is lowkey my favorite high school drama I've ever watched. And for the very first time in my life, I had a second lead syndrome because he obviously deserved to have the girl. I know that he was portrayed as a punk or some sort of bad boy but he was there for the main female lead when she needs help and supported her which is what a boyfriend should do. For the story, it made me feel what the characters are feeling, i laughed a lot and went emotional as well. All the main actors and supporting actors did an amazing job in acting The main lead actress kim so-hyun was just so perfect for this role and it's awestrucking how precisely and smoothly she pulled off a double role cause maybe the face is same but the personalities are different. It was really a good decision to cast her for this role. I love both the male leads (Nam Joo-hyuk & Yook Sung-jae) although I love the second lead better in the drama. Antagonist female is an awesome actress, I hated her in whole drama. There are some good messages and quotes from this drama. Overall, this drama is a must watch since I learned a lot and I'd recommend it to kdrama fans as well as newbies or those who don't watch kdramas.

Vincenzo is indeed one of the best kdramas this year in 2021, I can consider it as one of my new favorite kdrama. Overall, The storyline itself is so good that it's not disappointing at all. From the first episode itself, it was wonderfully interesting 'til you might even want to watch more! I never felt bored of any episodes, the plots and the twists leave you right on the edge! I was so hooked to the story.. Every episode there was a twist of fate and it grasps you so much that you burst out of excitement what will happen next. I can also say that it's one of the kdramas to binge watch (since I watch 2 episodes per day). I would definitely recommend this show to be a must watch as it's a hilarious and exciting show, all the characters are so cool which will make you fall for them especially the Cassano family. Special mention to Taec-yeon who plays as evil villain Jang Han-seok. He's so versatile in delivering different aspects of the character. Anyways I loved the show and every K-drama fans & newbies should give it a watch.
