Currently Watching "Tunnel" K-Drama


I admit that I was more into the realistic fiction in K-Drama. It's because I wanted to learn about the world of criminology without having to get a degree to know about it! I was having a struggle with what I wanted to watch. There's some interesting K-Drama on the top ten of Netflix. I even think I might watch some J-Drama such as Emergency Interrogation Room or Border. There's also some horror-fiction such as Alice in Borderland from Japan or Uncanny Encounter and Sweet Home from South Korea. So, I thought that my recent obsession with police drama while desiring something obviously fictional has kicked in. So, I did watch Rugal which actually could've been better. So, I decided to give Tunnel a shot after several choices on Netflix. Yup, I might also decide to do the same with Zenkaiger because I may want to focus on other stuff. 

Tunnel's storyline takes place in 1986 and 2016. The story has a detective named Park Kwang Ho (Choi Jin Hyuk) who gets transported 30 years into the future. It's a really weird twist that Kwang Ho has been trying to arrest a serial killer who targets women. Kwang Ho arrives in 2006 and finds out how much the world has changed in 30 YEARS. What Kwang Ho doesn't even realize is that he's become a Supernaturally Young Parent. It's because Kwang Ho ends up meeting his daughter Shin Jae Yi (acted by Lee Yoo-young) now using her mother's surname. It's possible that time travel has caused a great ripple effect 30 years ago. Without Kwang Ho raising his daughter, his wife probably assuming he's dead, and now it's time for Jae Yi to use her mother's surname over her father's. They meet but he doesn't know yet that the woman who paid for his taxi fare is his OWN DAUGHTER in 2016. Talk about stupid when you're forced to interact with a child who's your age. I'd want to see how awkward it would be to have a forensic files type of drama with ALL the crazy time travel involved. But at least it's not 1,000 years apart like in Mirai Sentai Timeranger. 

Am I going to watch this with several series that may catch my fancy or not? Granted, the digital age was still in its infancy back then. I remembered the time when I watched several series together while I was in college. It was easier to do so when choices were more limited. I could remember watching several shows simultaneously. Now, it doesn't seem to be the case with SO MUCH to choose from at once. I was thinking that it can be more fun watching one show that's already done at a time. Though, I might decide to break that since I'm NOT doing episode reviews of older shows. A bit of a spoiler is that I've resumed watching Kamen Rider Saber BUT I decided to finally stop doing episode reviews of it. It's because I'm watching Saber at my own pace. Yes, I'm thinking about no longer doing episode reviews of Saber while I may drop random thoughts. It's all because blogging is just a hobby and it should stay that way for me.

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

  SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her.  The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

  This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think.  Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
