K-drama ● Review: Mask Girl
A tight narrative about an ugly woman’s desire for attention. Tragedy follows her decisions. Some plot conveniences but beautifully shot.

K-drama ● Review: Doom at Your Service
Lacks plot. Themes are apparent but under-developed. Mostly looks good. Relies too much on Park Bo-young and Seo In-guk to carry the show.

K-drama ● Review: It’s Okay to Not Be Okay
Character-driven series. Tries to balance dark and light, both in terms of storytelling and visually. Mostly looks good but a bit bloated.

Manga ● Review: Junji Ito’s Cat Diary – Yon & Mu
Horror parodies of Ito’s experience with his wife and two cats. Drawn in his usual style. Moderately amusing, not to be taken too seriously.

Anime ● Review: Junji Ito Collection & Maniac
Recommended if one is a fan of Ito’s work; he has good ideas but not necessarily the best plotting. Not bad but animation is inconsistent.

Red panda with her work and personal life problems. Vents by singing death metal. Relatable and amusing if you are into that type of humor.

K-drama ● Review: Sell Your Haunted House
Attempts to be a supernatural thriller-drama. Formulaic in many respects. Nothing bad but nothing special either.

K-drama ● Review: You Are My Destiny
Remake of the 2008 Taiwanese series. Tries to be quirky as well as tragic. Drags on for too long. Annoying male lead. Avoidable.

Based on the book The Pentagon Wars: Reformers Challenge the Old Guard by USAF Colonel James G. Burton, this is one of those comedy gems...

Film ● Mini-Review: The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill
This sequel is a more focused story, so it is not as fun but it is still a decent, enjoyable film.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Fable
A comedy about an assassin and his assistant told to lay low and not kill anyone. Could be funnier but still a solid film that is enjoyable.

Film ● Mini-Review: Cold Pursuit
Not a Taken clone but rather a vigilante-revenge black comedy. Enjoyable and recommended.
