@Reineamie215 … JW related; I'm actually a bit peewed at the naming of the JW spinoff because I suspect #Ballerina (2023) #kmovie / #kdrama is the better movie. The name clash is unfortunate for discoverability. I do admit that I haven't seen anything but some trailers of the 2025 one. 😅
Teaser for my upcoming article re: "The Witch" / "The Tyrant" franchise.
Debunked interpretations and fan theories:
1. Part 1. The Subversion happened in 2018
2. Part 2. The Other One happened in 2022
3. The Tyrant was a prequel / origin story
4. The Tyrant happened in 2024
5. 채자경 (Chae Jakyeong) escaped from the same facility as 구자윤 (Gu Jayun)
6. The event 장 (Jang) and 조현 (Johyeon) had a massive defeat—where everyone else in their unit died—was during the escape of 구자윤 (Gu Jayun)
Coming soon!

Watched Phantom last night. Very well-written and with an all-around fantastic cast. You think you're watching one thing and then it suddenly changes to something else. Korean cinema does that really well.

Konsep cerita The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos (movie) mirip serialnya dulu 2014, bedanya di sini dibuat lebih ringkas dengan beberapa tokoh yang berbeda.
Dari 5 tokoh dalam Bad Guys, saya paling suka karakter dan metode penemuan pelakunya Tae Soo. Sayangnya di The Bad Guys dia gak ada karena sudah tobat wkwk.
Padahal saya berharap banget, Go Yoo Sung (Jang Ki Yong) menggantikan peran Tae Soo tapi dengan privilese yang lebih (mengingat dia sebagai mantan polisi). Setidaknya penggabungan karakter Tae Soo dan Mi Young. Aah, sayangnya gak terjadi, waktu filmnya terlalu singkat untuk memperkuat karakter dengan memamerkan kemampuan yang dipunyai.
Gwak Noh Soon (Kim Ah Joong) lucu sih wkwk. Lovely pula. Sebenernya ada potensi kemampuan yang bisa ditonjolkan doi. Sayangnya, lagi-lagi karena waktu filmnya yang singkat.
Btw, cukup seru untuk penghobi film laga.

Emergency Declaration (K-movie) review
I’ve always had a soft spot for plague dramas. (Okay, I admit it, more of an obsession.) The tension, the race against time, and the high stakes when humanity battles an invisible enemy, zombies … you get it.
So, when I came across this movie—a plane-bound thriller where a terrorist spreads a deadly virus among passengers on a flight to Honolulu—I was immediately hooked. A virus on a plane? I couldn’t press play quickly enough.
The premise drew me in quickly: A contagion threatening lives at 30,000 feet—edge-of-your-seat drama guaranteed. Viruses, airborne chaos, people trapped in a confined space—what could go wrong?
Well, plenty, but I’ll get into that later.
Cast and characters
- Song Kang-ho as In-ho, detective
- Lee Byung-hun as Jae-hyuk, passenger
- Jeon Do-yeon as Sook-hee, minister
- Kim Nam-gil as Hyun-soo, pilot
My initial feelings
I hit play with excitement. The setup was intriguing enough, and I was ready for a wild ride. The early scenes didn’t disappoint either. The tension builds quickly as the characters realize something sinister is afoot. You can’t help but feel the urgency of the situation. I was invested, eagerly anticipating where this story was headed.
The more I watched, the more logical problems began to pile up, and I ended up scratching my head more often. The film asks you to suspend disbelief quite a bit.
The good
Let’s talk about what worked, though. The acting, for one. The cast delivered solid performances, and the action sequences were intense and well-executed. Lee Byun Hun, in particular, stole the show. There’s a standout moment where his character charges into the cockpit, takes control of the plunging plane, and narrowly averts a disastrous crash. It’s a nail-biting scene, filled with tension and adrenaline.
The bad
But here’s where things go south. The villains, for example, are one-dimensional at best. We never get a clear understanding of why the terrorist unleashes the virus.
His motivations remain a mystery, and he feels like a classic mustache-twirling villain with no depth. It’s a missed opportunity, really. I wanted more complexity, more reason to care about or hate him. Instead, he’s just evil for evil’s sake.
Then there’s the film’s over-the-top jingoism. The story leans heavily into a “South Korea against the world” narrative, portraying the country as one denied of help by the US and Japan at every turn.
It’s a bit much, sometimes.
The logical flaws (Oh boy)
Now for my biggest gripe: the plot holes and logical inconsistencies. There were several moments that made me go, “Wait, what?” The film throws common sense out the window on more than one occasion:
- Why is a street cop attending high-level government health crisis meetings? Do they have no other experts available?
- How does a crime scene investigator declare a corpse “positive for the virus” when the virus is completely unknown? What kind of magical testing agent is this?
- And the kicker: why is a cop able to waltz into a virus containment unit and inject himself with a deadly pathogen? Who’s allowing this?!
A movie reviewer once said that the pandemic has turned everyone into amateur virus experts, and I have to agree. Even before COVID-19, I would have questioned these absurd plot points, but now they’re even harder to swallow.
The plot felt contrived, and I found myself pulled out of the story whenever these illogical moments surfaced—which, unfortunately, happened a lot.
Plot points I loved
But credit where it’s due: when the film delivered, it really delivered. That aforementioned scene where Lee Byun Hun steers the plane away from certain doom? That was gold. It’s a high-octane moment that genuinely had me on the edge of my seat. I do have to ask, though—why wasn’t autopilot on? Isn’t that standard for commercial flights?
Thoughts on the ending
The film’s conclusion wrapped things up in a pretty predictable but satisfactory manner. It’s the kind of “everyone’s happy in the end” scenario that felt a bit too neat, given the chaos leading up to it. Was it contrived? Absolutely. But sometimes you just have to roll with it.
Would I watch it again?
If I can turn off my brain and just enjoy the action, I’d probably give this movie another go. It’s one of those films that can be entertaining in the right mindset, provided you don’t dig too deep into the logic of it all. So, yes, I’d watch it again, but only if I’m in the mood for mindless fun.
Final thoughts
This movie is a mixed bag. It has its moments—great action, solid performances, and a tense atmosphere—but it’s weighed down by plot holes and underdeveloped villains. If you’re a fan of pandemic thrillers and can overlook some major logical leaps, you might enjoy it. But if you’re someone who craves airtight plots and believable character motivations, this might leave you frustrated.
Ultimately, it’s an enjoyable enough ride as long as you leave logic at the door.
Final rating: 7
This is what the #movie entitled #Pandora ( #판도라 ) said in the end of their #film (see screenshot, it won't fit here). I'd like to add, in the #Philippines , they want to start up the unused & aging Bataan #Nuclear Power Plant. #Korea #Kmovie #Kdrama #SouthKorea #Nuke

(2024 - Netflix 1:48)
[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]
Delivering chicken, playing video games, & practicing martial arts seems enough for Kim Woo Bin's character. One day he saves a Martial Arts Officer. He's asked to cover the officer's job while he recovers. His parole officer partner recommends that he becomes an official Martial Arts Officer.
Warning: the crimes depicted in the show are awful & may be triggering.
The fighting is amazing - great choreography. You will *hate* the bad guy. What's unique is that Kim Sung Kyun really brings compassion to the role of the parole officer & the fun-seeking fighter sees things from a fresh perspective.
In less than 2 hours, Kim Woo Bin provides us with wonderful character growth & a great bromance. It was also interesting to see how an unfamiliar area of the S. Korean penal system works.
Alienoid 1 (2022) & 2 (2024) #Kmovie is wild, with some comedy in the mix, both good. It's not your typical scifi future aliens in Goryeo timejump save the world flick (ha!). Starring Ryu Jun Yeol, Kim Tae Ri, Kim Woo Bin. So many well known supporting actors. Jin Seon Kyu has a bit part in #Alienoid 2. Both he and Kim Tae Ri were in scifi Space Sweepers (2021) with Song Joong Ki (I liked that one too).
I hope there's a part 3. There's at least three things I still want to know.
