Genre: Fantasy
Director: Kim Yong-hwa
Actors: Ha Jung-woo, Cha Tae-hyun, Joo Ji-hoon
Grade: 3.5/5
sPlotlight:
The screenplay is good, playing with the God myth. The movie has deep message in it, but somehow, I like K movie that likes to mock on its self with self-deprecating jokes than that has some meaningful message, brings social justice to light or whatever. Ha ha ha

Grade: Grade: 3/5

It is like Final Destination series with an extraordinary assassin as the cause of death. I don’t know why watching Lee Je-hoon trying to be edgy, is not believe able. Or really…..

Burning
Released year: 2018
Genre: Thriller
Source: Barn Burning by Haruki Murakami
Director: Lee Chang-dong
Actors: Yoo Ah-in, Steven Yeun, Jeon Jong-seo
Grade: 4/5
sPlotlight:
This is good adaptation. I got the same feeling watching this like the feeling when I read Haruki Murakami’s books. His books are kind of working in sublime level. When I think I got the idea about what he writes about, at the end I always get the nudging feeling that I don’t really figure out what he tries to write about. Ha, ha, ha. I’ve watched other Murakami’s book adaptations, even the Japanese one. I think his books suit K movie style more. Perhaps the K movie's penchant for dark humor and those stylish gross bloody sadistic scenes is the reason? Now I seem like a kind of psychopath writing this. LOL
Door Lock
Released year: 2018
Genre: Thriller
Source: Sleep Tight (Mientras duermes)
Director: Lee Kwon
Actors: Gong Hyo-jin, Kim Sung-oh
Grade: 3.5/5
sPlotlight:
Make me thinking about how not safe the society is for a single woman living alone. This is a sign for failed society. I am, as one of them, also facing the same disheartening fact of sexual harassment, terror, and discrimination based on the situation that I am single, woman, and living alone. Every movie and media that highlighted the situation should be supported.

I hate the camera work! Should it take the usual routine not like some unprofessional vlogs trying to be a movie maker. Blah.

Minari
Country: USA
Released year: 2020
Genre: Drama, Family
Director: Lee Isaac Chung
Actors: Han Yeri, Steven Yeun
Grade: 4/5
sPlotlight:
Pah I 💓 Han Yeri! I like the pace of the film, languid and contemplative. And the way the parents raise their kids just great IMHO. They will be great kids when they are grown up. Not too strict but not too free either. And they way the parents communicate with each other: They are honest, true with what they feel, and they say what they want to say which means they trust each other.
Monstrum
Released year: 2018
Genre: Sageuk, Monster
Director: Heo Jong-ho
Actors: Kim Myung-min, Choi Woo-shik, Lee Hye-ri
Grade: 3/5
sPlotlight:
The monster is not scary that I think should be the main point. And Lee Hye-ri acting is so annoying. I mean who had thought to cast her alongside Kim Myung-min and Choi Woo-shik?? It is sooo jarring on the acting part.

Moss

Director: Kang Woo-suk
Actors: Park Hae-il, Jung Jae-young, Yoo Jun-sang, Yoo Hae-jin
Grade: 3/5
sPlotlight:
It is quiet a bore, but I just really wanted to know who was behind the cult mass suicide in 1978?? I didn’t care who was the murderer of his father, really.
Pawn
Released year: 2020
Genre: Family drama
Director: Yeon Sang-ho
Actors: Ha Ji-won, Sung Dong-il
Grade: 3.5/5
sPlotlight:
Bonus 0.5 for making me crying. Love is what you do, more than what you say. He says she is a pawn, but he adores her like she is his one and only child.
Peninsula
Released year: 2020
Genre: Action, Zombie
Director: Yeon Sang-ho
Actors: Kang Dong-won, Lee Jung-hyun
Grade: 4/5
sPlotlight:
Less zombies, more car racing. But it is more than zombie, it is about family. This is why it still pulls my heart string. Not bad for a sequel.
The Call
Released year: 2020
Genre: Thriller
Director: Lee Chung-Hyun
Actors: Jeon Jong-seo, Park Shin-hye
Grade: 4/5
sPlotlight:
Swear God, it scared me as heck. Jeon Jong-seo is so scary as psycho serial killer. Those eyes. The movie made me having a restless sleep for reminding me not feeling grateful for the life I have right now and insisting on not letting go of the past. What if my past will one day haunt me to no end like what Young-seok (Jeon Jong-seo) does to Seo-yeon (Park Shin-hye)? Scary AF. Should goodbye to the past, but like I can….. LOL
The Throne / Sado
Released year: 2015
Genre: Sageuk, History, Drama
Director: Lee Joon-ik
Actors: Yoo Ah-in, Song Kang-ho, Moo Geun-young
Grade: 4/5
sPlotlight:
SK and its many twist of Father’s issue. This is the root. There are so many adaptations based on Prince Sado and his ill-fated relationship with his father King Yeonjo. I tremendously enjoy Yoo Ah-in’s acting here. The movie would not be as enjoyable as it is, if it wasn’t for his performance. The subtle change from innocent teenage Sado to the manic but sad of him is hardly to miss. He is frantic, tip-toeing around his father and vulnerable. He is angry and depressed. Love them all.
The Witch Part 1: The Subversion
Released year: 2018
Genre: Thriller, Action, Fantasy
Director: Park Hoon-jung
Actors: Kim Da-mi, Choi Woo-sik
Grade: 3.5/5
sPlotlight:
I want to give it 4 to 5, but the writing isn’t very original. Those many movies and books about children of genetically manipulation who turn to monster. Kim Da-mi’s character reminds me of Nikita from La Femme Nikita, an American drama from long time ago. It will be great if it is reproduced into drama format, not movie with so many parts. Ha, ha, ha. How can Choi Woo-shik's character not have a name?? Love me some Choi Woo-shik!
