Finished episode three of #kdrama #TaxiDriver3 last night. Two thoughts: 1) Yoon Si Yoon is doing scary and sinister really well lately; 2) Lee Je Hoon's disguise--and his rescue of a victim--made me cry in the good way 😂

I love #LeeJeHoon, but I got most of the way through S1 of this show and then couldn't get any farther. So much gratuitous violence in a lot of #kdrama.
Show threadDeb Nam-KraneNov 29
@EllenInEdmonton Understood. And it's not just violence, it's in the context of disturbing situations.
Show threadEllenInEdmonton Nov 29
@dnkboston
Exactly! Disney+ is especially bad about stocking its catalogue with shows full of violence and revenge. I had to stop The Manipulated, with favourite actors #JiChangWook and #DohKyungsoo, because of the sheer evil it portrayed.
I adore #LeeJeHoon, but not enough to watch him continually seeking revenge. I hope that there really will be a sequel to #TheArtOfNegotiation
Show threadDeb Nam-KraneNov 29
@EllenInEdmonton I loathe Disney+ The writing overall is just so bad. It's all production values with shallow premises

Yes, for the most part. I did enjoy the historical Bloody Heart, but in general, their shows are disappointing. I have free access, so I investigate from time to time.

@EllenInEdmonton but does Jang Hyuk growl? That's what's really important.
Show threadEllenInEdmonton Nov 29

@dnkboston
But of course he does!! He also does several of the fan flicks that he did to perfection in My Country: The New Age.

I tried to find the original video montage I watched with #JangHyuk in this show, and there were so many, I couldn't pick! I may have to rewatch, when I finish #SixFlyingDragons.

@dnkboston
Haha, he makes a truly magnificent warrior! Delightful to watch. And I enjoyed #WokOfLove, as a campy romance where he is a chef. He's just fun to watch, regardless of the role that he's playing.

I need a video to understand what you mean by slaphands! I love the way that he flicks a fan open, shoots an arrow, wields a sword, or glowers at an underling! Bloody Heart is a good one for watching in the meantime, except for Deb, who won't watch D+.

@dnkboston OH

OH

I didn’t know he was in this! I know what I’ll be watching next!

But if you enjoy scary Yoon Shi-yoon, you *have* to watch Nokdu Flower! Going from sweet mama’s flower boy to murderous using just a single look. It’s just glorious! IMO it’s by far his best role and the fact he didn’t win anything for it is an utter travesty.

@dnkboston it’s fanTAStic. Not a light watch, but tries to be true to a hard slice of history. There’s a gazillion of awesome top actors in it, including Jo Jung-suk in a rare dramatic role.
