Twist! Evil and not evil may be reversed!

Lee Min Ki as Joseon nobleman is not a look I expected. It works though.

This is a bit more serious than movie 1. Still, our heroes are ridiculous. And Lee Min Ki does a very good evil vampire. 🧛‍♂️

There is a sequel! Detective K:Secret of the Living Dead! And the baddie is Lee Min Ki! And it's available on YouTube! That's Christmas Eve movie night sorted!

First off, this was very sweet. I did care about the leads and I did want them to end up together.

However, it also felt like a light and cute version of #BeautyInside, which I watched ages ago (the series with #LeeMinKi and #SeoHyunJin , not the movie). Which isn't terrible, but I wish it had gone deeper.

My Liberation Notes
(2022 - Netflix, 16 1:07 eps)

A slow-paced, slice-of-life drama about 3 siblings who work in Seoul but live in the countryside & commute. See the comment about slow dramas.

At this pace with sparse dialogue, the acting has to be phenomenal to keep our interest & convey meaning - body position, a glance, a sigh, a gesture mean so much. No action, little romance, & characters that are annoying & unremarkable mean that the drama is the story & it delivers.

You wonder what is the point? Is this all there is? Will I ever know myself? How do I navigate a relationship without giving up myself? The development of the characters as they try to discover themselves & their purposes takes us on a journey as we ponder the same questions.

Detailed sound & cinematography w/ interesting symbolism are great at contrasting the city & country scenes.

Because This Is My First Life
(2017 - Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

Unique storytelling made this a standout. It's a slice-of-life drama concerning love & marriage that was presented in a quiet but fresh way. The narrative & dialogue surprises you frequently when its simplicity becomes profound. The casting & acting was excellent.

3 adult relationships develop through the show. We see 3 women in different job situations being affected by the patriarchy. But we also get to see men oppose it. It is rare to see a woman being allowed to be smart, cute, sexy, strong, & determined - especially all in 1 character.

Unfortunately, there is 1 thing that ruined the flow toward the end. Overlooking that it was a good drama with some great messages.
