K-drama ● Review: The Uncanny Counter
Nothing brilliant, nor does it need to be. Tries to be cool. Season 1 is not bad. Season 2’s plotting and pacing issues are more apparent.

Film ● Review: Kill Bok Soon
It is not an action fest but rather a character-driven film. Looks good and well-produced. Korean film or not, can be tightened a bit.

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.

Over-simplistic characters and plot can be more refined, but a decent drama about obnoxious influencers and social media.

K-drama ● Review: VIP
Office infidelity mystery-thriller. Sounds totally stupid, but is actually a solid drama about the subject, including its consequences.

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.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Visions 2
Season 2 broadens to styles other than anime. Arguably worse than Season 1 in terms of storytelling. Nonetheless, a few are recommended.

Terminator-like time paradox. Moderately intriguing. Poor execution, inadequately explained plot points and devices.

K-drama ● Review: W – Two Worlds Apart
Amusing series as the main character is dragged into the webtoon world. Excessive plot conveniences but still enjoyable.

Robocopped team tries to take down criminal organization. Overly simplistic and cheesy. Plot and characters lack dimension.

K-drama ● Review: Find Me in Your Memory
Fails to fully utilize an interesting premise—a lost opportunity thematically. But, strangely, it may still be a likable series.

Twist-filled mystery/thriller about the corrupt imperial family in alternative present-day Korea. Ridiculous but addictive.

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: Hotel del Luna
My Verdict: An amusing supernatural-fantasy drama. Excellent cast. Beautifully lit and shot. But female lead’s past is not well handled.

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.

K-drama ● Review: All of Us Are Dead
A decent drama with solid performances from a young cast, but it is another zombie survival-horror caused by a virus.
