Sean Akizuki's East Asian Drama and Movie Blog

As said,  I decided not to do episode reviews as much as possible since I'm watching this show at my own pace along with Vincenzo , Law School , and Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom at my own pace. So, I tend to binge-watch the shows whenever I can. So far, I decided to watch Oh My Ladylord also at my own pace. I was thinking of the plots where Bi Soo gets into a rather friendly love triangle with Yu Jin over Joo-In. It does have some comic experiences (but not slapstick) to go along with it. I do feel like criticizing the negative aspect of Asian culture of not being that open about one's condition. It's really a cliche in East Asian drama to hide one's condition until it's too late. I wish Bi Soo's mother would've been more open that she may die any time soon. Bi Soo realizes it but pretends not to know as not to worry his mother. Bi Soo's mother just wants to spend more time with her son but doesn't want to tell him about her cancer. Also,...

  Well, I do have another good reason to take a break from Super Sentai (until further notice) because of this new KDrama known as Law School . The Asian Wiki describes the plot as follows: A professor at a prestigious law school and his students get involved in an unprecedented case. Yang Jong-Hoon (Kim Myung-Min) is a former prosecutor. He is now a professor at a prestigious law school. He is straightforward and tends to unleash biting remarks. Students don't like him because of this, but Yang Jong-Hoon does not care what his students think of him. Yang Jong-Hoon is focused on cultivating personnel for the law field, members who will be able to contribute meaningfully. Professor Kim Eun-Sook (Lee Jung-Eun) is his only colleague that he can speak openly with. Kang Sol (Ryoo Hye-Young) and Han Joon-Hwi (Kim Beom) are first-year law school students. Kang Sol barely got into law school. She comes from a poor family background. At school, she is surrounded by students who are smart an...

I usually don't feel like watching Korean movies but when I do - I do have weird reasons. I decided to watch this movie for a dumb reason namely the hottie Jeon Yeo Bin. The movie in itself is NOT for children or for the squeamish. The story has two people crossing paths namely Park Tae Go (Um Tae Go) and Jae Yeon (Jeon Yeo Bin) in a series of conspiracies. One is a guy who's lost his sister and niece after crossing the gangsters. Meanwhile, Jae Yeon is a terminally ill woman who lost her will to live, she also lost a lot of her loved ones then she becomes so badass later in the movie.    Now, we've got actor Cha Seung Won playing the main antagonist, Executive Ma. I do love just how Seung Won's over-the-top performance does what it does. Seung Won was a protagonist in You're All Surrounded and was seemingly antagonistic in Korean Odyssey . In here, it was fun to see him as the main antagonist and a very ruthless one at that. The guy's involvement in the chaos i...

As my Super Sentai taste fatigue kicks in (and ironically, I'm still watching Kamen Rider Saber ) - I feel that I might watch a couple of Chinese series (old or new) depending on my taste. So, I'm on an irregular watching of Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms which creates a weird love story. The literal Chinese title is  San Sheng San Shi Shi Li Tao Hua which means  Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms . The series stars Mark Chao (who I first knew in Black and White ) and Yang Mi as they face three lifetimes to which causes a lot of weird plots. Mark is known as Mo Yuan, Jin Lian, Ye Hua, and his mortal reincarnation as Zhao Ge. Yang Mi is known as Bai Qian, Si Yin, and Su Su. Different reincarnations would make a rather complex plot. The plot according to Drama Panda is as follows: Bai Qian is a fox goddess from Qing Qiu who pretends to be a young man named Si Yin in order to come under the tutelage of Mo Yuan. Tens and thousands of years later, she is...
