A pretty simple story. I won’t lie I expected it to be kind of bland but it ended up being decent. It was an easy watch for me as an adult.

Interesting legal movie that leaves us pondering and lost as the main character is. I don’t mean this in a bad way. I meant that the main character was left questioning his own values.

I know I am being very picky with shows lately but I figured I might as well be picky with my time. Anyway the first episode of this was quite cheesy and I don’t think I can sit through another 29 episodes of this.

To be honest I don’t enjoy the tomb raiding genre of cdramas. I had hoped that the older cast would made it a little more interesting. I do think the acting in this drama was better than what I’ve seen from other tomb raiding cdramas, but it still couldn’t make up for the generic story line. I ended up dropping this drama after three episodes.

An interesting drama movie that is simple in plot but heavy in themes. A good watch.

This drama was interesting but unfortunately it was an unfinished story ☹ I only knew this when I reached the end, as questions are mostly unanswered. Nonetheless, I thought the slow sense of mystery was interesting and I wouldn’t even say that I wasted my time because the build up had me intrigued. Even without a conclusion, I felt like it was a decent place to finish. We don’t have all the answers but we have some hints. Not sure if it’s a good or bad thing that I could do with or without a second season. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you’re okay with an unfinished product, and can enjoy the vibes.

I started this movie thinking that it would be a crime movie but it ended up being a horror movie. Thankfully it wasn’t too frightening but I’m not used to watching horror movies so I had to read up on people’s analyses and the clues I missed. I still think it was interesting though. Until the end I think we’re meant to be questioning how this all happened. I would recommend this movie though include a warning for violence and gore.

This movie has been hyped up for a long time for me. I was originally not going to watch it because I already knew the plot twist, but as I watch more movies I know that an ending doesn’t make the entire movie. As someone who has followed the Japanese and Korean idol industries over various stages of my life, this was an interesting watch. However, I would advise that this movie does have graphic scenes, including rape, which may be disturbing to some people. But for those who are okay with watching those, this is definitely an interesting movie.

This was a crime thriller movie with lots of twists and turns, but coming back to some commentary which wasn’t really revealed until the end. The twists and turns were a bit much for me but the acting was fine.

This was a data heavy book with a simple thesis but it was still interesting.

Finally got around to this movie, and it was not what I expected but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. This movie was definitely an adaptation. Instead of sticking to the cultural canon of Nezha, the story was adapted so that the story line was more insulated. Overall I think the movie was good. Not perfect, but it was still enjoyable.

This series was pretty fun. I think I enjoyed it because it was more of a travel show than a variety show. There weren’t any games or competitions, it was just about enjoying the trip.

Binged the last three episodes of this show and the little five minute snippet that’s supposed to be the ‘true ending’ and I am done. This drama was a mixed bag. The overall character story lines and relationships were interesting. However, the cases were overly convoluted and there was a lot of lazy writing that dampened my enjoyment of the series significantly.

This was a tense mystery movie and I enjoyed the sleuthing aspect of the movie. I did find the ending satisfying, but I think it was the point for two reasons that I will get into. Still a good movie, but you’re going to have to watch it as a drama instead of purely a mystery thriller because people who just want to know who the culprit is are going to be disappointed.

I’d heard about this movie years ago and I also appreciate movies with religious themes so I was excited to check it out. I’m still processing what happened, but I do think the movie was interesting.
