Parasyte: The Grey

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Parasyte: The Grey (2024, South Korea)

Director: Yeon Sang Ho

Writers: Yeon Sang Ho & Ryu Yong Jae (based on the manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki)

Mini-review:

I enjoyed this way more than I expected. I was a pretty big fan of the anime that aired a decade ago, so I was worried about this adaptation. But that wasn't necessary: instead of making a simple live-action remake, they tried to approach the story from a different point of view, making sure it could coexist in the original manga's universe (as shown by the very last scene). That being said, this one doesn't delve too much into its themes, opting instead to focus on the horror and action elements. And damn, it does deliver. The action scenes make great use of the parasytes' "tentacles", and they're shot with some stunning camerawork. Yeon Sang Ho's directing fires on all cylinders, more than making up for the pretty mediocre CGI. It also helps that the cast does fantastic job. So yeah, Parasyte: The Grey might not be as deep as it could, but if you're in the mood for a thrilling horror-action spectacle, then you should give it a try.

A great new interview with writer Marnie Dickens, director So Yong Kim, and executive producer Elizabeth Kilgariff about Wilderness!

“The way Jenna works, her process is to take you to the truth of what she’s thinking. She has to play multiple things at one time. People know different things, and that only gets more complicated as the series goes on. The aim of the show is to be heightened but with an emotional gut punch.”

Coleman was the “natural choice” to play Liv, Kilgarriff continues, describing her as an actor who can hold numerous layers of her character together at once – a trait viewers of The Cry will remember.

“I do think that is her genius,” the exec says. “She makes it look very easy – and she’s in nearly every scene in the show. We took her on a mad ride, she embraced it and is so good. I’m excited for the audience to see her in this role. We needed someone who is going to take the audience with her, to fall in love with her, and Oliver is brilliant as well. The two of them have fantastic chemistry on screen, which is really important for the story to work.”

“Jenna is amazing, she’s a master,” adds director So Yong Kim (Dr Death, In Between Days). “There were days, especially later in the schedule, when we’d be covering all six episodes, and she knew exactly where she was in episode four compared with episode two. It was so incredible. I don’t know how she kept track of that. Throughout 75 days of production, she only had one day when she was not needed. But even though it was so demanding for her, she could still be creative and allow her talent to come through.”

Mr Queen - The Ending

Okay, so, I have seen a lot of commentary about the ending of Mr Queen being ‘The Worst of the Worst’ of it being ‘homophobic’ and a ‘blight on Queer rep’.

These points might be valid - it is an unsatisfying ending and I was personally rooting for Jang Bong-hwan staying in the past and, you know, creating a whole new history. But. There are some incredibly valid reasons why the ending ended like it did.

One: (and honestly a pretty important one) is so the show was aired. It ended on a (very queer) heterosexual note, which was probably vital in getting the show air time. 

(I don’t think the ending made enough sense to have been what the writers were going for - not with how brilliantly the rest of the production was done. So I don’t think it was meant to convince us.)

If the show had ended how many watchers wanted it to - Jang Bong-hwan and Cheoljong together - then it may not have been around to watch. 

(And, honestly, shows not going the way I want paves the way for glorious fix it fanfiction.)

Two: it turned a popular trope completely on its head - it unfridged a woman.

Kim So Yong was, essentially, dead. 

The ending brought her back to life at the expense of the main male character (or at least, initially representing as male - genderqueer/trans Jang Bong-hwan rights!).

It brought back a side/background character to play the title role, to be happy when she thought it impossible.

Yeah, from a Cheolbong perspective, it sucks. But Kim So Yong is living the good life. 

(Even if she probably would be happier if they switched bodies properly rather than, you know, literally taking a backseat in her own life.)

Three: it gave an almost perfect show a big, visible flaw.

(This is not saying the show is faultless or pristine clear.)

Without this ending I, personally, would have been content to watch the show on repeat for years and never consider anything else.

With an ending that felt...incomplete, well, that leaves fanfiction, world building and head canons galore (bring on the hyper fixation!).

People like to fix imperfect things, like to keep poking things into place until it settles that ‘just so’ urge.

That ending? Poke away.

So: TLDR:

The ending of Mr. Queen.

Do I like the decision? No.

But I don’t have to.

It served a purpose.

#Meta #Mr Queen #This show #Why the ending was pretty clever actually #I don't usually write things like this - you can probably tell #flow is nonexistant #While Cheolbong lives rent free in my head I think the ending didn't suck actually #Deeply queer show despite appearences #And in spite of appearences #Also I got bored halfway through which is why there is only one picture... #Jang Bong-Hwan #Kim So Yong #Cheolbong

Please watch Mr. Queen

#mr. queen #so-yong kim #bong-hwan jang #king cheoljong #cheolbong #it's got soooo many different angles to it. bodyswap. political intrigue. revolution. romance. that one weird cousin we don't talk about. #[so-yong voice] every family has one. mine has two in fact #shout-out to the new post format for finally letting me add alt text kjhgjhg #ayesha says things #korean television #episodecaps

I can't find on me to hate Byeong-In because if you think about his point of view that So-yong tried to killed herself because of how unhappy Cheoljong and the palace life made her and how their family made her so miserable at the point to drive her to depression. He had every single reason to hate all of them, and I always felt that it was very ambiguous the way they wrote So-yong feelings towards him. She kisses him back for some seconds till she snaps. She tells him that in her dreams, sometimes her husband looks like him. She trusts him the most and he was the only one who notice that So-bong wasn't So-yong and STILL protected her anyway. His love towards her mixed with how used and mistreated he was by their family although he was a political genius makes all his actions very understanding. They don't know you like I know, youngest minister of War.

#mr. queen #mr queen #kim byeong in #kim byung in #na in woo #kim so yong #kim soyong #queen cheorin #k drama #lua watches stuff #also i just dislike the general concept of so bong and cheoljong together #if cheoljo accepted that it was another soul inside so yong it would be fine and dandy #but he never knew... fell for someone else and never knew bc he never cared about og so yong to notice her #she was putting herself in line for him since she forever and he never knew her #i love bong hwan but so yong is a victim of her time and her story is so tragic #only loved when someone else was possessing her and the only love she ever knew was forbidden to her #the flashbacks show so much of her how smart she was how strategical #she just wanted to be loved for she was and she was loved yeah but only for one person and the person she couldnt have #she is a tragedy all over #she deserved her body back since they didn't had the balls to kill her or make her a md #or make her also possess bong hwan in the future #so yea #great kdrama really but wtf #byeong in and so yong most tragic shit ever
