Anime Review: No. 6
Intriguing utopian-dystopian premise and setting in which the boy has to leave the utopian city and go underground. Well-produced but the plot lacks substance and is somewhat bland.

Anime Review: The Lost Village
Busload of people want to escape the world and start over in a hidden village. Intriguing premise but inconsistent tone and messy structure. If one expects a dark, gritty and trippy psychological mystery-horror, then one will be disappointed.

Animation Review: Love, Death + Robots (Volume 3)
Mostly looks good. Doesn’t try as hard as Volume 1, which is a good thing, but nothing great apart from “Bad Travelling” and “Jibaro”.

Nicely shot and edited. Looks good. It is amusing with good performances, but the plot is too stagnant and fails to capitalize on the opportunity for some dark and offbeat humor.

K-drama Review: When the Phone Rings
Stereotypical cold male lead and soft female lead. Intriguing premise but the plotting and pacing need to be better. Relies too much on Chae Soo-bin to carry the show.
