This is a real lesson ‘ Teach you a Lesson’

Image
  The episode of "Teach you a Lesson" consists of a total of 10 episodes, each of which deals with a different story of school life. The difference from reality is that inspectors from the government department called the Teachers' Rights Protection Bureau are sent to each school to solve problems. I thought it would be the most talked-about series these days, and I think it is a series well-made enough to recommend to mothers. 1. The plot This series is consist of 10 episodes which has different stories. It shows different types of School violence and how to solve by the team called Teacher’s Rights Protection Bureau. 2. The cast and director The cast is actor Kim Moo-yeol, actor Lee Sung-min, actor Jin Ki-joo, and actor Pyo Ji-hoon, and the director is Hong Jong-chan.

A Korean Historical Drama Film base on true story' A Taxi Driver'

Image
If someone asked me to recommend just one historical film about South Korea, I would recommend the film "A Taxi Driver." It was set against the backdrop of the May 18 Gwangju Democratic Uprising, one of the most important days in our country, and it was not only historically accurate but also perfectly cinematic.  1. The Plot  Man-seob, a taxi driver in Seoul, takes a foreign passenger to Gwangju to pay off his monthly rent. Knowing that he could earn a hefty 100,000 won if he returned before curfew, Man-seop risks everything and goes into Gwangju, growing increasingly anxious at the thought of his daughter being alone, and wanting to go home. This film brings to life Gwangju in May 1980, when the voice of the people was at its loudest.  2. The Cast and Director National actor Song Kang-ho played taxi driver Man-seob, professional German soldier actor Thomas Kretschmann played German reporter Peter, actor Ryu Jun-yeol played university student Goo Jae-sik, an...

A Korean Monster Thriller Movie 'The Host'

Image
I don't really like movies that feature non-existent entities. However, the movie "The Host" was a film that completely changed that idea. It’s partly because it’s a film by director Bong Joon-ho, whom I admire, and partly because the monster’s appearance wasn’t overly childish.  1. The Plot  By the peaceful Han River riverside, Park Hee-bong, who runs a convenience store, and Park Kang-du, who helps his father, were spending time as usual. Then, hearing the murmurs of people, I looked ahead and saw a monster I had never seen in my entire life hanging onto the Han River monster, rushing toward me? While he is fleeing with his daughter Hyun-seo, she is captured by a monster and taken away. After that, the family’s desperate struggle to find Hyun-seo begins in the Han River, where everything is sealed away.  2. The Cast and Director   Actor Byun Hee-bong plays Park Hee-bong, Song Kang-ho, one of Korea’s finest actors with a close connection to director Bong Joo...

A Heartwarming Korean Drama Movie' Miracle'

Image
If I had to pick the hottest male actor in South Korea these days, I think it would be actor Park Jung-min. At a domestic film festival, he thrilled many female fans with a collaborative stage performance with singer Hwasa, and today I’d like to review his romance film, Miracle.  1 . The Plot  In Jun-gyeong’s village, there are only railway tracks, not even a train station, and today he walked five hours again to go to school. Despite his father’s objections, he refuses to give up sending letters to the Blue House, and even Ra-hee, whom he met at school, joins forces with him—this train station-building project is impossible to abandon. Can his efforts really build a train station? 2. The Cast and Director  Park Jung-min, a heartthrob, played Jun-kyung, and Lim Yoon-ah, famous as the visual center of the girl group Girls’ Generation, played Ra-hee. Lee Soo-kyung played Jun-kyung’s older sister, and the beloved actor Lee Sung-min played Jun-kyung’s father. The director is ...

A Healing Korean Movie 'little Forest'

Image
Is there a movie you look up when you’re hungry? There’s a movie I look up when I have no appetite. It’s Little Forest. It’s a film about cooking and enjoying food with stylish visuals, yet it somehow leaves you feeling inexplicably at ease by the end.  1. The Plot  In the busy city, Hye-won studies for the civil service exam, and one day, feeling extreme hunger, she returns to her hometown home. After that, she meets her former friends Jaeha and Eunsook, and by cooking and eating food herself, she gradually begins to heal the wounds of her old memories.  2. The Cast and director  Kim Tae-ri played Hye-won, Ryu Jun-yeol played Jae-ha, and Jin Ki-joo played Eun-sook. The director was Ms. Lim Soon-rye, a female director famous for the Waikiki Brothers.  3. What to watch for Since this film is a remake of a Japanese manga, I think it might be worthwhile to watch it and then compare how closely it matches the original work.  And I wonder if it might be interest...
