K-drama ● Review: Squid Game 3
As before, good production, decent pacing and moderately entertaining. But conclusion is somewhat rushed. Not that I expected much to begin with.

K-drama ● Review: Our Unwritten Seoul
Twins swap places in a story about survival and finding one’s direction. Solid performances all around. Shot conventionally but nicely edited. Simple plot but the characters, relationships and themes make it more complex than it appears.

K-drama ● Review: The Fiery Priest II
Premise ups the threat by involving a drug cartel. Comedy tries too hard. It is as if the creators have forgotten what makes season 1 good.

K-drama Review: Light Shop
Intriguing premise. Exposition/revelation-driven so the structure is a little crude but pacing is well-managed enough. Solid series.

K-drama ● Review: Hellbound Season 2
Plot-driven, focused on human and material aspects with the supernatural taking a backseat. Entertaining and, intended or not, even comical.

K-drama ● Review: Grid
Attempts to be a sci-fi mystery-thriller trying to catch a time-traveller. Not a bad idea but pacing could be better and not enough closure.

Film ● Review: Officer Black Belt
Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

K-drama ● Review: The Frog
Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

K-drama ● Review: Goodbye Earth
Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.
