후니의 이야기 공장-Hoony's Story Factory

Preface

 : Frankly speaking, TV series are as much interesting as movies. Movie has a limit on the running time about 2 hours. Therefore there are some movies which are like series such as Insurgents series, Hunger Games Series and so on... But TV series doesn't have that. More freedom in time limit.... I frequently felt that many movies were trying to contain everything in a short time... It made me feel that something missing in the movies.... Furthermore, the TV series nowadays are better than movies in every aspects...except the theater environment...

TV series made in USA

1. Heroes Reborn(히어로즈 리본) - A world created by Tim Cring came. I really enjoyed watching the series.... The story line, each characters... made me wait for the next episode... Now the old heroes and new heroes together... save the world again.

I've seen the Season 1 to 4... Now season 5...

2. Gotham(고담) - It's the City of Batman. Yes, it's about the story before the Batman's appearance on the world. Now, you can see how was the childhood of Bruce and the Gordon's struggle for Justice. And never ending crimes there.

3. Walking Dead(워킹 데드) - There are lots of zombie movies and TV series made so far... Therefore I thought that there are no more interesting stories left with Zombie... But I am turned out to be wrong on this... This one is very unique and interesting one...

4. Limitless(리미트리스) - Have you seen the movie, limitless? There the main character gets unlimited brain ability... This turns into a TV series... It's very interesting to me because it gives me a vicarious satisfaction. I also want that power.

 : I was so lazy for a while recently. And also stopped writing anything. I was just just tired of something... Maybe tired of life itself. There are many negative points in the getting old... Among them the most frustrating one is... losing interest in everything... There is nothing new anymore... It also applies to a TV drama, Movies and so on... Therefore, there quite few works I want to recommend.

TV dramas

1. 6 Dragons fly(육룡이 나르샤) - There is a historical book called 'Yongbiochonga'. This titles comes from the book. 육룡(Yukryong) means 6 dragons which actually stand for the 6 kings of the Chosun Dynasty but 6 main characters in the TV series.

  There is a very good actor named Kim Myoungmin and also Chun Hojin. Their acting is really superior. It is in the time of the last Koryo Danasty. People suffered from the corruption of the ruling people. In those days, some heroic figures are trying to overturn the nation and build a new one. The story reflects the current situation of Korea. Yes, we also need a revolution.

 Additionally saying... the acting of Yu A in is not quite well absorbed in the drama.

There is a TV series already dealt with it called, 'Jung Do Jeon' but this one shows it in a new way.

   Rate : ☆☆☆☆

2. Yongpali(용팔이) - There is a defined meaning in the name. It's a name for person, a typical man. But here it means a skilled(용한) quack(돌팔이). There are several movies named with Yongpali(용팔이) such as LA Yongpali(용팔이), Returned Yongpali(용팔이).  

 It doesn't slow down the pace of the story. It's not like a typical Korean soap drama. It has some tension and suspense also of course including romance...

A new upper class medical revenge drama

   Rate : ☆☆☆☆

   Jenre : Action, Medical

3. D-Day(디데이) - What is this? I didn't expect a movie like quality from a Korean drama, but this one brought it up. This is the biggest ever disaster TV series in Korea. Even this drama shows sophiscated details of destructed Seoul, the mass media doesn't seem to care about it. Even though it is not better in terms of story line and the character details or the acting, at least it tried a new thing as a TV series.

You also need to consider that the TV series release two episode in a week, not like in USA or in UK where it takes about 2 weeks for a new episode to be released. Considering it, it's a remarkable TV series.

Movie like Disaster TV series

   Rate : ☆☆☆☆☆

   Jenre : Disaster, Medical

4. She was beautiful(그녀는 예뻤다) - A typical soap drama for women. As the title says, she was beautiful when she was young but she met a soul mate again years later, when she was not anymore pretty.

 It's about a common ordinary girl who gets love from the two decent and rich boys... Yes, it's fantasy for women. But that is not all this drama has... It also shows a comedy and pleasant episode.

Nothing new but well made trendy drama
