Mr. Queen: The One Who Cannot Be Forgiven (2021) Season 1, Episode 11

Triple axel : )

[10/10 · 24 July 2023]

This episode had everything but when Mr. Queen was jumping on the seesaw and started showing off her skills by flipping and then that triple axle comment just had me bursting with laughter. I love this show. I just wish I understood Korean because I know I'm not getting as much meaning from the subtitles.

I'm not certain how historically accurate the Royal clothing are but the hanboks are sooo beautiful and I just love all the Royal women's hair accessories. I can't wait to go to Korea and see all the beautiful historical sites also. I love watching programs that show historical times. I loved Alchemy of Souls too.

The Bridge (I) (2013–2014)

Love Diane Kruger's character

[10/10 · 26 July 2013]

I think Diane Kruger's portrayal might be off putting to people who don't realize Sonya's character has Asperger's. Once you know that, I think her character will make more sense. I think she does a brilliant job as Sonya. In fact, I think all the character portrayals are well done. I like Demián Bichir's polar opposite character where Sonya is socially awkward and inept so she says and does what ever comes to mind while Marco has to navigate the delicate politics of not going out of bounds with his Mexican Superiors and is good at charming his way into and out of most situations. I haven't seen the original show this was based on so can't compare but if it's better than this, I'll have to see it some day : )
