After the 7th and 8th episodes of Sisyphus, some elements of the series’ narrative became clearer and some questions were answered. Seo-hae and Han Tae-sul’s character motivations are gradually taking foot. The plot also revealed elements providing the vehicle for the narrative to roll. However
The dark comedy return of Song Joongki in a TV series has constantly garnering strong viewership. In nationwide South Korea alone, the fourth episode has a total of 10.2% average rating- a strong increase from its pilot episode of 7.7%. Here in the Philippines, Vincenzo is currently the number 1 show on Netflix. These numbers are truly not a surprise since the series alone grips you with interest and offers a unique feel of malice wrapped in comedic tone…
“Mouse” tackles the intricate minds of psychopaths and how they pose dangers in society. What makes this premise more interesting was the concept of the psychopathic genes that are said to exist in psychopaths and how this biological deviation creates the serial killers that roam amidst us…
“Live On” is an 8-episode mini-drama series that aired on JTBC from November 17, 2020 to January 12, 2021. The story centers around Baek Ho-rang, a famous high-schooler and a social media princess with 170,000 SNS followers, and Ko Eun-taek, the respected and meticulous captain of Seoyeon High Broadcasting Club.
Song Joong-ki is back and this time with a badass flare! Three days after the premiere of Sisyphus, I was one of the excited K-drama fans who streamed Vincenzo when it premiered. I was all for it especially because a narrative that has a lead with conflicting morals is interesting and dynamic and knowing that Joong-ki is playing the titular role made it all the more exciting.
When it was announced months ago that Park Shin Hye will star in JTBC’s latest drama entitled Sisyphus: The Myth, I was very elated, ecstatic even. I instantly racked my brain as to what the title could mean especially so that the name exists in Greek Mythology as well as in Albert Camus’ philosophical essay. How can a Greek Mythological character that was punished by the gods to roll a boulder for eternity be related in the series’ title?
TvN’s True Beauty which starred Cha Eun-Woo, Moon Ga-Young and Hwang In-Youp has recently concluded with a personal best rating of 4.458% in nationwide South Korea. The show has captured the hearts of a lot of Filipino K-drama fans especially those in their teens primarily because of the effective chemistry of Cha Eun-Woo and Moon Ga-Young with Hwang In-Youp adding to the ‘kilig’ factor of the drama…
It was a happy ending after all… It’s a no-brainer who the finale’s winner is but Seojun’s selflessness is what reunited Suho and Ju kyung together. He was intent on letting Ju kyung feel what his true feelings are. But upon Suho’s return he backtracked. It was a refreshing thing to see two men who were at the height of their emotions for one girl being so civil and friendly towards each other…
This is the ‘storm’ that I talked about in the previous episode. After settling in the US to help his dad recover, Suho broke up with Ju kyung. I understand where he was coming from and that it was hard for him to let Ju kyung wait for him with no uncertainty when he can come back. It was painful for both of them especially so that the breakup wasn’t mutual…
Watching this episode gave me the feels of a calm before the storm. The moments of Suho and Ju kyung after she passed her performance test was all too sweet and fun and romantic all at the same time that it gives us portent of what’s to come in the next episodes.
