korean dramas

We need a break! Alice is going to school to become a teacher. Bruce is coaching freshman football and his daughter, Alana, in basketball. We will see you the first of September :)

Spoiler Alert: If you watch enough police dramas the plot is fairly predictable, but the chemistry between Ji Woo (female protagonist) and Mu Jin (leader of criminal organization) is off the charts. Bruce especially appreciated how they adapted Ji Woo's fighting style to make it gritty, intense, and most important, realistic.

Spoiler Alert: An ensemble of characters try to survive a monster apocalypse. Although Bruce felt it was lacking in plot, he enjoyed the visuals and the chemistry between Ji Soo (band girl) and Jae Hyeon (preacher/sword fighter). Also, the resident badasses, Yi Kyung (firefighter) and Sang Wook (enforcer) were fun to watch throughout the series.

SPOILER ALERT! Listen as Bruce breaks down the overall storylines of All Of Us Are Dead.

This is an amazingly well-written and acted high school zombie movie. Loved how these zombies were much harder to kill than any other zombie and how they were a social critique on bullying.  No character is safe in this movie! Some of the deaths are truly heartbreaking. I am still sorting out my feelings on how the zombies adapted but this one seems to be headed towards a second season so they will have to clean up some loose ends in the writing. Overall a must-watch if you are into the zombie genre!

Produits en majorité par Netflix, les drama coréens (ou K-drama pour les intimes) sont la nouvelle tendance qui se développe de plus en plus chez le public français. Après les réussites de Parasite puis de Squid Game, il semble que le public occidental ait développé un goût pour la Corée et ses productions originales ; et ainsi, Netflix propose dans son catalogue une variété impressionnante de K dramas. De l'horreur à la science-fiction en passant par la fantasy et surtout la comédie romantique, ces séries partagent des scénarios originaux et bien écrits avec un vrai souci esthétique, ce qui crée une vraie addiction... Dont viennent nous parler deux de ses victimes, Céline et Maureen ! Plongez avec nous dans l'univers de Crash landing on you, Hometown chachacha, The king's affection, My golden life, The king : eternal monarch, Vincenzo, et bien plus encore !

Movie review with SPOILERS! 

I watched this and was spellbound with how this short series (6 episodes) challenges the institution of religion. This series starts with "demons" chasing down someone and pummeling them to death. We later find out that each person that meets this fate had a previous vision predicting their death and more importantly, that they will be sent to hell. The bulk of the storyline focuses on how a new religion, the New Truth, forms from these events, the creation of doctrine, and what this organization will do in order to protect its "truths".
