Netflix Movie "Night In Paradise"

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 in the show and how he really messed everything up. He's really one of the best movie villains ever since how it becomes so satisfying to see him getting a brutal death eventually.

The whole movie in itself can be rather slow for me. There are some dialogues about the characters and what happened. There are some good action scenes and some scenes you'd like to skip if you're squeamish. Fortunately, there aren't those prolonged torture scenes like in the movie Killers (2014) which I couldn't watch even for Rin Takanashi's role. Though, there's still generous amounts of blood every now and then.

For me, it's not much special TBH. Though, if you want a different experience then check it out. Maybe, it's because I'm more used to the one hour and a half movie that tries to get the plot pacing better. In this case, some slowdown can be annoying but enjoyable as a dowside. Though, it's better to check it out yourself and give your opinion on it. Just remember to DEFEND your opinion with the facts if you choose to disagree with 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
