MOON IN THE DAY

GENRES: Romance, Supernatural

SUMMARY: A wandering Silla-era soul decides to get centuries-old revenge on the woman he loved more than anything in this world.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Boot-cut jeans, heroic rescues, orphan firefighters, amusement park trips, worried lawyers, bad parenting, good parenting, steely looks, supportive roommates, living room ponds, grief, monks, lotus seeds, and learning to love your enemy.

HOT TAKE: This wasn't a spectacular show overall, but the historical flashbacks were so so much better than the modern-day mystery they supported. There's just something about Kim Young Dae with his romantic steely looks and silk noble robes that sells it. Conversely, I think Pyo Ye Jin made a better Seoul citizen than someone from the past.

Our Blooming Youth Review | Episode 01 and 02

The drama throws us in the middle of a political war already underway and the script is smart to give us enough information to catch up. You can feel the stakes are high and how betrayal, murder, conspiracy are all breathing down at the Crown Prince's neck.

Lady Min (Jeon So Nee) is smart and resourceful. I am already looking forward to see her solve her family's murder and how it's connected to whoever is threatening Crown Prince Hwan (Park HyungSik).

As we learn about the Crown Prince’s true face and insecurities, Lady Min proves to be an outstanding and wise adviser. Now that it has been stablished their enemies are probably the same, I think they will be a force to be reckoned with.

I'm keeping my eye on Sergeant Han Sung-on (Yun Jong Seok) and Lord Kim Myung-jin (Lee Tae Sun). I don't think they are directly involved in the murder of Lady Min's family or the threats to the Crown Prince but perhaps their families are since their respective fathers are Ministers.

I think Lee Hwan wants to trust Sergeant Han but since becoming the Crown Prince it has become difficult to do so, even if he is a childhood friend, because of whom his father is. I admit Minister Han (Cho Seong-ha) is cryptic AF. He looks like ally but is he?

If Minister Han is working against Crown Prince Hwan, it would make sense that he would send someone to kill Governor Min to keep the letter secret and since his son was engaged to their daughter, it would give him opportunity. But, what would be his reason to depose Hwan?

Minister Jo (Jung Woong in) seems like the obvious choice. He’s not trying to hide his dislike for Crown Prince Hwan and wants to depose him to put his own nephew in his place and take control. I think he might be some kind of red herring to distracts from the real person moving all the pieces.

I also don’t trust the Queen (Hong Soo-hyun). I think she might be playing the long game to get her way through her uncle’s machiavellian ways.

Meanwhile I can’t read Minister Kim (Son Byung Ho) at all. I am pretty sure he will become a bigger player later in the story but I’m still not sure for which side. I hope the drama shows a little more of him at court and his relationship with his son.

Crown Prince's bodyguard Tae Gang (Heo Won So) and Lady in waiting Jang Garam (Pyo Yejin) both seem pure and loyal. I am already praying nothing happens to them through the course of this drama because my spidey senses tell me main character is dying in Our Blooming Youth.

Technically speaking, the cinematography is beautiful to look at, the costume design really well done, the directing and performances fun to watch but also set the seriousness of the problems our main characters must overcome. The best part it's the script, which I found to be very smart and well paced.

Overall, I think this drama has the potential to be a great sageuk!

Pachinko

The moment I read the news that Lee Min Ho would be part of a new Korean series based on a historical novel, I knew I had to see it. This 8 episode long series connects the lives of Kim Sun Ja when she was young and her life as a grandmother, telling the stories of her grandson, her son, lovers and parents.

It has facts mixed into it and integrates documentary elements into the storytelling. It touches the time Korea was a Japanese colony and 1989. It touches topics such as AIDS, the Japanese-Korean relationship in Korea and in Japan. It tells the story of so many Korean families that ended up living in Japan and never going back home. It is a story about family love, friendship and love between a man and a woman.

I must admit that its open ending left me with a lot of questions:

What happened to Noa?

Did his relationship with his father had anything to do with what Sun Ja regrets the most?

What happened to Isak?

What happens to Solomon? Will he follow up on his plan? What will happen to the old lady who didn't want to sale her home?

I looked for the book and added it to my Wishlist. I will have to read this book to see if my questions get answered and to learn what the series might have cut.

It is a series worth watching.

So I've finally finished Bloodhounds (+ ahjussi collection)

...and I have no idea where to start and what to say and how to feel.

No, wait, please hear me out.

It was b l o o d y and at parts a very difficult watch, as it has lots of explicit fighting scenes, which look extremely realistic and cruel. So cruel that I had to close my eyes and not watch, I even skipped many & i'm not sorry. However, there are also parts so heartwarming that it makes you forget about all the crimes and gore for a moment. So, it's up to you to decide if it's worth the struggle. Since the violence could be a bit too much for many, let's just say I do and don't recommend this one at the same time. Personally, one of things I greatly enjoyed is the subtle comic tone of Gun-woo's and Woo-jin's interactions with each other and their characters which represent people doing sports professionally so well, the purity of their hearts and lack of malice in everything they do, since they truly do live for the sports. Then there are two absolutely powerful and skillful young women, Hyeong-ju and Da-min, playing such important roles in the entire series, each of them individually contributing so much to the entire plan of bringing the bad guys down and saving what could still be saved. And also, one of the most enjoyable parts were definitely the bonds that came out of these newly formed friendships. Younger acting crew did an amazing job. In comparison to the older and experienced ahjussi crew (I'll get to them in a bit), they've got some serious talent. It must have been a huge undertake for both Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi to live up to the expectations of the entire team behind this drama. And they did it. They absolutelly slayed.

If you still haven't watched this drama, trust me when I say these two cinnamon rolls will instantly win your heart right at the beginning of the first episode. They're like the most perfect two besties you'd want to be besties with too. And yeah, you'll suffer thru all the horrors just to see them win the biggest battle of their lives. Gosh, every time I tried typing something coherent about them it just ended up being lots of crying shaking throwing up. They're the best, ok? And this is best I can do. ╥﹏╥

And while our marine boys scratched so many itches around this platform, I have to mention the absolute gentlemen that starred in this series and swept me off my feet *deepest sigh ever*

So many great actors took part in Bloodhounds, it's hard to believe my own eyes at times. Whoever was in charge of the casting did a killer job. I couldn't even take the bad guys seriously because they're freakishly handsome. Well, at least not until Kim Myung-gil brutally ended my favourite ahjussi trio damn you ep 6

What started as an obsession over two young marine guys and their bromance ended up as a hole in my heart over downfall of three middle aged criminals men and a will to trade all the money and gold bars for their lives. And more importantly, a huge appreciation for Korean actors over the age of 40.

No, let's be real. They're handsome and talented and great at their job and deserve all the love and support. With that in mind... here's a tiny screenshot dump because it would be a shame not to post it:

And I want to be normal about them and move on in peace but *internal screams* I've already mentioned Lee Hae-young in one of my earlier posts, addressing my obsession with the character he portrays, the sushi restaurant owner Hwang Yang-jung. And I know many people are obsessed with him too. But no one is speaking up. Which is silly. And tbh I really thought there would be more gifs of him and other men but...there's close to none? Can we talk about how fine this man is? How fine this whole ahjussi crew is? Can we... can we just acknowledge they sliced us all in tiniest pieces possible and burned us all till we turned into charcoal? Can we make a mess of kdrama side of tumblr by excessively posting about them? Pretty please?

It's true, I came for the boys, but stayed for these men. I'm not even joking when I say kdrama has me in a chokehold again, but this time for a whole new reason. Dropping everything just to watch series and movies these guys took part in sounds like the best idea at the moment. I even forgot about the new releases I started watching, which makes me laugh at myself, but... it is what it is. At some point, a girl just has to obsess over her favourite ahjussi, and that's okay.

if I had a nickel for every time I watch a kdrama and become rapidly obsessed with the imaginary relationship of side characters in the drama- who weren't interested canonically, have/had different partners, are not gay(as far as the writers know), have like two scenes together, and ultimately don't care that much about each other/ aren't onscreen much together- I wouldn't have much but it's really really weird that it has happened thrice.

Bloodhounds

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Bloodhounds (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Kim Joo Hwan (based on the webtoon by Jeong Chan)

Mini-review:

I'm gonna be honest: I'm not usually a big fan of these type of movies/shows and I only started this one because of the wonderful Woo Do Hwan. However, color me surprised, cause I ended up loving Bloodhounds. Sure, this story has been told a million times before, but the bromance, the incredibly lovable characters (and incredibly hateful villains!) and the showstopping action scenes take this show to the next level. I'm telling you, it's a really enjoyable experience.

On top of that, the cast absolutely delivers. The show is filled with knockout (pun intended) performances, there's not a single weak link. You can tell just how hard these actors worked to prepare for all the fights and action sequences. Oh, and I can't leave out Kim Joo Hwan's propulsive directing, which left me breathless in several episodes. I do think the final scene cut off way too suddenly, and the sort-of-time-jump in episode 7 is also rather awkward, but I guess it's understandable, considering all the trouble the show went through during post-production. Anyway, Bloodhounds took me by surprise, and I think most people who like action movies/shows focused on hand-to-hand combat will love this.

(via CHIEF OF STAFF)

Un classico drama coreano pieno d’intrighi, colpi di scena, tradimenti e commistioni tra politica e i chaebol con il loro denaro. Da vedere assolutamente se piace il genere, tiene incollati alla visione per tutto il tempo.

Hi!! So glad that you are accepting requests.,Can I request a Park Joong-Gil imagine where the reader is his subordinate and secretely has feelings for him, and she is the only person he shows his soft side to or smiles only around her.

One day reader asks him why he only smiles around her and he is like because he loves her and confesses to her. Thanks!

Okay, you got it!~~

"L/n, collect this life." "Yes, sir"

"Reaper L/n, the Director wants you to assist the Sales team in the collection of these lives." "Yes, sir."

This was how I spent most of my time on the Escort Team. Taking orders from the cold and stoic man that was my Team Manager. And also the man I grew feelings for. Park Jung-gil.

Most reapers say that it was a bad idea for a subordinate to develop feelings for their senior officer, but I didn't care. As long as it didn't cross any lines, I was fine with loving him from afar.

It's how I stayed around him for so long without ever doubting my performance. However, everything seem to change after my recent run-in with the Risk Management team.

"Ugh, why must you be so infuriating, Mr.Lim?" "Why must you be so stuck-up, Ms. L/n?" The childish banter echoed in the empty halls as I made my way to deliver my reports to Mr. Park. "You know, maybe the reason you're so stuck up is because you've hadn't had a date since the Joseon era."

That halted my steps. "What are you trying to say?" I squeaked, my cheeks flushing in embarrassment. "How long are you going to stay in the shadows with your feelings for Mr. Park?" "Why should that matter to you?" "It's obvious that you love him and it's very obvious that he likes you as well."

"What, no he doesn't! Stop joking around like that..." "I'm telling the truth. Many people see how he looks at you. He always smiles at you when you're not looking. He treats you nicer than everyone else in Jumadeung. You think that's a coincidence?"

"T-that doesn't mean anything. Besides, he could have threads attached to someone in his past." "Or, his threads could've attached onto another person....or reaper. If you don't believe me, wait until you leave his office and if he stops you, then you'll have your answer."

Ryung-gu then turned and walked away, leaving me with my thoughts. 'He is slightly nicer when it comes to the lives I have to collect or when the Risk Management team causes trouble for me on my duties.' I thought, making my way down the empty corridor and approaching Mr.Park's door.

Once in front of the door, I took a deep breath and before I could open the door, I heard my name being called. "Come in, L/n."

Opening the door, I stepped inside to the usual sight of him sitting at his desk doing his usual paperwork. "U-umm, I brought the reports like you'd asked, sir." I muttered, steeping closer into the room and shutting the door behind me.

"Good, you can place them right here on my desk." "Yes, sir." Following his directions, I placed the reports onto the desk and took a couple of steps back. There was a short silence before he spoke again. "Is there anything else, L/n?" "Yes....this might sound awkward, but why are you so nice to me?"

"That's a pretty vague question." "What I meant to ask is. everyone seems to think when you're around me, you're nicer." "Nicer?" "Yeah, like how you hand me all the easy escort cases and smile when only I'm around. An-"

"It's because I like you." Those five words stopped my train of thought. "Wait, what?" "I like you." "You like me?" "Yes" "As in platonically or romantically?" "Romantically." "Ohh, umm.... well, I like you too." "I know. I knew for quite some time."

'Huh? How'd he find out?' I thought to myself. "I didn't think I was being that obvious." "Same here, except I was trying to grab your attention." He said, a light blush dusting his stoic features. "Well, since we've gotten our feelings across, would you be willing to go on a date with me? Probably after our shift ends?" I asked, not making eye contact in case he rejected it.

Hearing the small squeak from his chair and his footsteps approaching me, I looked up slightly to find him standing right in front of me. Jung-gil leaned in closer to face, the feeling of his lips ghosting over mine.

"How about we go out now?" He whispered, pulling me in closer by the waist. "O-okay." Satisfied with that answer, Jung-gil placed a gentle kiss on my lips, only to have that moment interrupted by Jun-woong and Ryung-gu busting into the room.

"Oh, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt whatever you two got going on....we'll just go now..." Jun-woong spoke before rushing out the room. "See, I told you that he liked you." "Ryung-gu?" "Yes?" "If you don't leave in the next ten seconds, you'll be waking up in ditch somewhere far from Jumadeung, got it?" I threatened, my cheeks heating up in embarrassment. "Okay, no need to get violent." He replied, walking backwards and shutting the door afterwards.

"I am so sorry about that-" "Don't worry about it, darling. Now, don't we have that date to get to?" "Yeah, let's go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author's Note: Here you go, @kdrama-i-nation, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. At the end, I kinda made Ryung-gu like a little prankster and Jung-gil more flirtatious instead of cold. Those are just my small head-canons for them. If any of you readers have any requests, go ahead and send them in. Our inbox is always open and inclusive. With that being said, Stay Classy~

Man to Man

Romantic Comedy where an action star and a secret agent become entangled in a complicated mission of national security where few are who they seem to be and fewer people can be trusted.

I loved the story. It had a nice balance between action, comedy and romance. I loved the bromance, the friendships and the connections between the characters.

I recommend it!
