Jongmalui Babo (2024)
Confusing and messy sadly...
I was so pumped for this release since I am a big fan of dystopian titles and watch a lot of Korean series. The premise of the story is really appealing, and they cast a lot of good actors.
Sadly the whole series falls apart due to too many side stories and characters. I'm usually helped by understanding basic Korean, but in this case, it got me nowhere. I still felt confused about many things even in the first episode. On top of that, the series fails to create a dystopian environment and general doomsday vibe that I was wishing for. Everything is too nice and tidy considering it's the last days on earth.
They did create a very nice opening theme with a good soundtrack tho.
The Woman in the Window (2021)
Read the book.
This movie is a very very poor version of the book. In contrast to many other reviews, I think the acting was quite bad. Amy Adams overacted, and almost became comedic, compared to the short scene with Julianne Moore. Even in the role of a pill-addicted wine-chugging crazy cat lady, it was just too much. In addition, Fred Hechinger in the role of Ethan Russel is not a very good fit. The character does not become credible, as he was around 20 years old at the time, playing a 15-year-old boy. The only reason it received as much as a five-star rating from me, is that it's an exciting and thrilling story still.
Secret Obsession (2019)
Waste of time and money
I actually feel bad for everybody involved in this production. What a waste of time and money... And also a waste of a prefectly workable story? But everything was just made so awfully cheap. The bad acting did not help.
