Twinkling Watermelon
Tumblr media
TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023
Twinkling Watermelon (2023, South Korea)
Directors: Son Jung Hyun & Yoo Beom Sang
Writer: Jin Soo Wan
Mini-review:
I loved Twinkling Watermelon so so much. This drama made my Mondays and Tuesdays for eight weeks. The story might not be groundbreaking, but it's incredibly well-written and fun. I was afraid the plot would be too simple to make it through 16 one-hour episodes, but it never dragged at all. There was always something to look forward to, and many of the twists caught me by surprise. On top of that, the writer gave us two fantastic love stories. Seriously, both of them are among the best I've seen in a K-drama. But the real focus of the show is the friendship between all the main characters, and its portrayal of youth was really heartwarming and nostalgic. And the whole cast was incredible too, they absolutely delivered at every turn. The only flaw I can point out is that the representation wasn't perfect, and they should've hired at least some deaf actors. Besides that, I don't have any complaints. I might go as far as saying this is one of my favorite dramas of all time, and I'm gonna miss it so much.

Dr. Romantic: The Way to a Dream Come True
Tumblr media
Dr. Romantic is made up of three seasons with a lapse of 4 years between the Season 1 and Season 2 and a 3 years lapse between Season 2 and 3. The first season we are introduced to the regular Doldam Hospital and new arrivals: Kang Dong Joo and Yoon Seo Jung. Master Kim helps these two young doctors and his regular staff to sharpen their skills and find realize their dreams. We see their growth as professionals and as human beings, while healing people and fighting to keep the hospital open. This first season ends with Kang Dong Joo and Yoon Seo Jung heading to new challenges but leaving a hope for their return.
Second season, Master Kim and his regular staff are still healing people while fighting to maintain the hospital running. We are introduced to three new doctors: Cha Eun Jae, Seo Woo Jin, and Yoon Ah Reum. In this case we have doctors returning and a doctor from a capital hospital, Park MinGuk becomes Holdam Hospital director as part of Chairman Do's attempt to take Master Kim down. But at the end we leave the hospital with a secure standing (no one can touch the property) and Dr. Park decides to partner with Master Kim and work together towards making Master Kim's dream come true - have a trauma center in the hospital.
Season 3 seems to be the conclusion to his story. Now they have the trauma center building connected to the old part of the hospital and they are about to open, but they need government funding to help run the center since this is a non-profit hospital. The staff is divided into two areas and those working at the trauma center will need to deal with their new director. Master Kim's Plan B - Dr. Cha Jin Man, who is also Dr. Cha Eun Jae's father and later Plan A - Kang Dong Joo.
I must admit that I was so excited to see Kang Dong Joo back and to see that Yoo Seo Jung returned, along other doctors that were part of the staff in the previous two seasons. It is satisfying to see Master Kim's dream come true: have the trauma center ran by his students.
You would've thought that he would want to run the center - after all, it was his dream - but he decided to stay in the old part of the hospital and have the another person run the trauma center. I loved the love stories and the new young characters. It was a really sweet way to bring this story to an end.
This story is one of my favorites on the doctors-drama category. A most watch, the three of them. I would watch them back to back, that way I would catch on things I probably missed since I saw them when they came out and time has past between each viewing.

Things to Never Say to People Who Just Came Out
Bit: I'm gayer. (It’s not a competition.)
Wonchul: You still owe me $45. (They do, but give them a minute.)
Dongjae: I knew you were gay the second you told me you were gay. (Although not wrong, there's no need to repeat what they just said to you, as everyone gets the point now.)
Yeonjae: In that outfit? (Not everyone comes out as stunningly as you.)
Sahyun: Hi gay, I'm dad. (Actually, this one is fine. Everyone loves a classic.)
Taeha: Would you like to go on record stating that for our organization's diversity initiative? (Come on. At least wait a week before swooping in with corporate requests.)
Gun: I was planning to come out this very moment, and you just stole my thunder 🙁 (Just wait a few days and come out some other time.)
Sewon: This has been so obvious ever since I started stalking you.

Bu dizi ile ilgili uzun uzun yorum yazabilecek kadar söyleyecek bir şeyim ne yazık ki yok. Hastane dizilerini seviyorsanız her türlü seveceğiniz bir dizi. Ben çok keyif alarak izledim. Bütün hastane ekibi oyuncuları çok güzeldi. Büyük bir hastanede baş hekimlik yapan bir adamın, yaşadığı bir olay sonrasında kayıplara karışarak küçük bir kasabada küçük bir hastanede ismini değiştirerek çalışmasını anlatıyor. İlk sezonda yanında çalışan iki yeni doktorun gelişimlerine şahit oluyoruz. İkilinin arasındaki romantik hikaye çok ön plana çıkmasa da dizi içerisinde güzel yer edinmiş.
Kang Dong-Joo (Yoo Yeon-Seok ) ve Yoon Seo-Jung (Seo Hyun-Jin) ilk sezonun yıldızlarıydı. Yoo Yeon-Seok ile ilk tanıştığımız diziydi. İlk karşılaşmamızda fazlaca pembe dizi tadında bulsam da şöyle söylemeliyim ki  Mr. Sunshine dizisinde yıkıp geçiyor. Efsaneye dönüşüyor. Seo Hyun-Jin ise Korede başarılı oyuncular arasında ismini yazdırmış, yetenekli kadınlardan birisi. Kendisine en net The Beauty Inside dizisinden aşinayım.  İkisinin de ayrı ayrı trajik hikayeleri arka planda ilerlerken küçük hastanenin hastaları, hastane içinde olan olaylar diziyi götürüyordu. Doktor dizilerinde her bölüm tanıştığımız hastalar asıl hikayeyi şekillendiriyor. Bu dizide hasta hikayeleri yine vardı ama o kadarda ön plana çıkmıyorlardı. Dizi çok ayarında yazılmıştı. Doktorların aralarındaki rekabetler, ameliyatlara girmek için yapılan çekişmeler, özel hayatları ve baş rol Profesör Kim (Han Suk-Kyu)’in hikayesiydi.  
Bu hikayelerin yanı sıra, ilk başta geçen büyük hastanenin müdürü ile Profesör Kim arasındaki husumet anlatılıyordu. Dizinin kötü adamı gerçekten hepimize yaka silktirdi. Bu kötü adamın oğlu da aynı hastanede doktordu, o da ilerleyen bölümlerde profesörün ekibine katılıyordu.
Birinci sezon sonunda hikaye normal seyrinde bittikten sonra genç doktor kadrosunu ikinci sezon için değiştirmişler. İkinci sezon başında çok kısa laf arasında birinin yurtdışında eğitime diğerinin ise sınır tanımaz doktorlara katıldığını söylediler. Müdürün oğlu ise büyük hastaneye geri dönüş yapmış. Birinci sezondan yalnızca müdürün oğlu ikinci sezon konuk oyuncu olarak geliyordu. Başta oyuncuların değişmesi hoşuma gitmese de ikinci sezonu bitirdiğimde damağımda hoş bir tat bıraktı. Bu şekilde yenilikçi bir tavır hoşuma gitti. Belki aynı çift ile devam edilseydi, aynı tadı vermeyebilirdi.
İkinci sezonda Profesör Kim, küçük hastanenin doktor eksiği nedeni ile talepte bulunuyor. Ve bir grup genç doktor hastanede zorunlu çalışmak için gönderiliyor.  Seo Woo-Jin (Ahn Hyo-Seop), Cha Eun-Jae(Lee Sung-Kyung), Bae Moon-Jung (Shin Dong-Wook), Yoon A-Reum(So Ju-Yeon) ikinci sezon gelen genç doktor kadrosu diyebiliriz. Bu sezonun çifti ise, Seo Woo-Jin (Ahn Hyo-Seop), Cha Eun-Jae(Lee Sung-Kyung) oluyor. İlk çifte nazaran bu çiftin romantizm dozu daha da düşüktü. Abbys dizisinden tanıdığımız Ahn Hyo-Seop bu dizide asi söz dinlemez bir genci canlandırıyordu. Weightlifting fairy kim book joo dizisinden tanıdığımız Lee Sung-Kyung ise önceki dizisine nazaran çok daha kadınsı, nazlı ve narin bir karakteri canlandırıyordu. İkilinin uyumu aslında birinci sezon çiftinden daha güzeldi ama yine de birinci sezon çiftinin hikaye derinliğini yakalayamadılar. Çok daha yüzeysel bir ilişkileri var gibiydi.
Jin Kyung’u baş hemşire olarak izlemek çok keyifliydi. Kim Min-Jae ise hemşire rolünde çok arka planda olsa da göze batmayı başarıyordu. Genel olarak karakterler üzerinden yazdığım bir yazı oldu ama dediğim gibi hastane dizileri bölümlük konuları ile biliniyor. Ben bu tarz dizileri sevdiğim için çok keyif aldım. İki sezon olmasından sıkılmadım. Hatta 3.sezon anlaşması yapıldığı için memnunum.

Vigilante
Tumblr media
TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023
Vigilante (2023, South Korea)
Director: Choi Jeong Yeol
Writer: Lee Min Seob (based on the webtoon by CRG & Kim Kyu Sam)
Mini-review:
I love shows and movies that focus on the moral conflicts of vigilantism. It's always a fascinating topic, and Vigilante delves deep into it. I feel like some people won't be happy with this drama's take, though, cause there are points were it pretty much justifies the main character's actions. However, that's what makes him even more interesting, and Nam Joo Hyuk gives a pretty solid performance in the darkest role of his career (special mention to his speech in episode 6). That being said, the show is so short that it barely has time to develop the characters and their connections. I don't know who decided to make only 8 x 40-45 minute episodes, but it wasn't a good idea. The whole thing feels rather rushed, and it doesn't take the necessary time to properly set all its stakes. It's definitely enjoyable, but it would have been even better as full-length drama.

Pumpkin Time (Movie 2022)
Interesting note, this film adaptation is based on a webcomic that first was made into a 10 episode mini series. I didn't know it had a series before I watched the movie and when I checked both series and the film have the same cast, so I wonder if the movie is just a compilations of the episodes which were less than 30 min. long each one.
In any case, what made this story about first love and friendship thought provoking was the premise. Tae Joo and Hae Won were male best friends when they were little. Both played baseball. Tae Joo moved to the United State after being scouted and returns looking for the best friend he missed through all those years. In the States, he was about to be drifted since in the United States people graduate from high school at the age of 18; but he decided to go back to Korea to what would be his last year of high school in his home country since people graduate in Korea around 19 or 20.
But in the meantime, Hae Won's body when he was a kid changed sex over night. He went from having a male body to that of a female body and since then he has lived as Hae Yoon, a girl. Only Hae Yoon's mother and cousin know the truth about the situation (and the pediatrician). Now that Tae Joo is coming back and coming to her school, she doesn't want to see him because it's difficult explaining what happened, but fate has other plans and they do meet and interact as Tae Joo and Hae Yoon.
Hae Yoon is both Hae Won and Hae Yoon. And when the faerie explains that the transformation was a mistake and that he is willing to change her if she wants, she chooses to stay female. It is Tae Joo who needs to decide if he is okay with having his best friend and the girl he likes to be the same person. This story is an interesting way of exploring the concept of love, because I think that what Tae Joo and Hae Won felt for each other as children was pure friendship but as young adults those feelings had seemed to develop into something deeper. If they had still been the same sex when they reunited, would they had ended up romantically together or would they had stayed platonic friends? I think they would have ended together because as - Tae Joo told Hae Yoon, he liked her as a person, regardless of her sex.
It is a sweet, story about friends becoming lovers.

2022 kdrama/movie roundup!
It was a tough year for keeping up with anything because life, toddler, etc, but here are the things I watched, in part or whole, that I remembered. Hot Takes Incoming!
Sell Your Haunted House - Jang Nara in boots. Kang Mal-geum in dark lipstick. Touching, gay, many mother issues. The girls were fantastic. The boys weren't bad.
25 21 - I was dropped back into the 90s. Surprisingly, I didn't hate it. The girls were fantastic. Na Hee-do was correct to dump Baek Yi-jin. Moon Ji-woong, perfect boy. Ji Seung-wan for PRESIDENT!
Why Her? - Someone thought it'd be a great idea to throw Seo Hyun-jin's ex-client (shudder) current-student (TRIPLE SHUDDER) Hwang In-yeop into the romance mix when billionaire CHOI YOUNG-JOON and Crown Prince Bae In-hyuk were already there. And they thought it'd be funny if Hwang In-yeop won. NO.
Eve - The superior commentary this year on the horrors of capitalism. It ends with reparations (Park Byung-eun hands over his entire empire to Seo Yeji, who promptly divests it), rich people dying in horrible ways and Seo Yeji doing the tango. Were the makjang knobs dialled up so high they're broken? Yes. Was it fun? YES, because I got to see Park Byung-eun's range, which includes Pained Hottie, and Seo Yeji running men's feet over in cars wearing couture. We can ask for no more.
Juvenile Justice - No one asked "What happens if we take three of the most charismatic working actors in Korean entertainment today and squeezed the life out of them?" But someone answered anyway.
My Liberation Notes - Lee El, a revelation. Mr Gu, a revelation when he started talking, and not the good kind.
Grid - Kim Mu-yeol. Kim Ah-joong and Jang So-yeon had a great year. I didn't understand the time thing at all. This is a me problem, but probably the only time I'll face it this year. Right? RIGHT?
Bloody Heart - Jang Hyuk has done nothing wrong, ever. The girls were fantastic. Lee Joon, I heard your script was meant for Lee Joon-hyuk. Sorry.
Pachinko - The girls were fantastic. Kim Min-ha, baby, you're gorgeous. JUNG EUN-CHAE was everything. Sorry to Lee Min-ho, who had the tough double role of acting as Ko Hansu and also like he belonged to this cast of greats.
Our Blues - Great acting, but my own blues were sufficient for me. The girls were fantastic. Unwanted to wanted pregnancy storyline: no thanks. This is a me problem, but probably the only time I'll face it this year. Right? RIGHT?
Extraordinary Attorney Woo - 75% love; 25% NOT THIS AGAIN.
Little Women - The girls were fantastic. I ran out of air by this point in the year. I'll come back for you, gothic interior design, poison orchids, and Song Joong-ki in the best role he's played all year!
Through the Darkness - Almost too many twirling moustache psychos and dead girls. I did it for Kim Nam-gil because he's so pretty in this and in case it wasn't abundantly clear by now, I don't think with my brain. The lone living girl - Kim So-jin - was fantastic. Jin Seon-kyu, well-adjusted stealth hottie!
Reborn Rich - Samsung owes Lee Sung-min its entire semiconductor business as @rain-hat said. Lee Sung-min owes me reparations for making me watch this show for him primarily (secondarily Park Hyuk-kwon, Kim Shin-rok, Park Ji-hyun and Kim Nam-hee for their acting; Kim Young-jae because he is THE DILF). I'm manifesting NO TIMESLIPS in 2023 dramas.
Under the Queen's Umbrella - Kim Hye-soo pushing up her hanbok sleeves to carry babies and do embroidery should be projected onto my tombstone unto eternity. The girls were fantastic. And I know this is unusual, so bear with me, but: the boys? FANTASTIC ALSO.
Movies:
Vikram - Fahaadh Faasil, my thoughts are nasty and you don't want to hear them. The girls might have been fantastic had they been permitted to live and not be dumdums. That was never going to happen, of course. There was torture and a baby in significant peril, but it was also the most fun I'd had in a while. I should get my head checked.
Ponniyin Selvan - The sheer scale of work and sweat that has gone into the enterprise of making Vikram seem taller than Trisha Krishnan for the last twenty years! Iconic. The girls were fantastic.
The Naked Kitchen - This is sold as a story of a woman choosing between two men. That is a lie. It's about a man coming to terms with his marriage drifting into polyamory, and enjoying it. Shin Min-ah and Ju Ji-hoon fuck in a museum, which was also weirdly sweet.
Asura City of Madness - AHJUSSHIS WHY. Hwang Jung-min's shirttails worked very hard in 2012. Jung Woo-sung ate glass and has pathological issues about being as handsome as he is. We love him for it. We did not love this.
Hunt - Love is your bestie learning how to write and direct just to write and direct you in the role of a lifetime for you, personally. I don't know if that's what happened here, but that's what love is. And chemistry is whatever these two guys have in this completely ordinary movie that did not give any feelings. Hwang Jung-min, pussy OUT.
Decision to Leave - A well-deserved love letter to Tang Wei, just beautifully shot, gorgeous.
Il Mare - Absolutely lovely little film, reliant almost entirely on the star power of two actors who are so charismatic they don't need to meet in the movie to convince you of their romance.
Laal Singh Chaddha - There was a very beautiful wedding at the end. Aamir Khan's face must hurt.
Darlings - A movie that appreciated and respected noted hottie Shefali Shah.
