PERSONAL THOUGHTS 06/30/25: Oh my Ghost Clients This was a pleasent surprise - it combines comedy with the supernatural to bring serious workplace issues to light. While there is nothing to laugh about in terms of some of the corruption, injustices / negligence and bullying that goes on, this was meant to be a comedy at the forefront to lighten the mood. Otherwise - it would be a rather emotionally heavy drama. Nimal, Ali, Patel, or whatever his name is haha. What a surprise that he gets a cameo as a whistleblower or witness. Otherwise - "Hyoooongneeeem - booooodackhaeyo, do not betray me" (ohjingoh game-style) haha. I wasn't so sure about that Fat Guy as the final villain of that greedy corporation. Since this is a comedy - I can see why haha. I laughed more than I sympathized. I think the Fat Guy usually plays the bumbling, detective sidekick or the comic relief in some light dramas haha. Ohjingoh Game S3. They had serious balls to have a baby enter the games, and to have the VIP's just lounging around placing bets. Speaking of VIP's, they sound like bad dubbing for an old kung-fu movie. The producers might have just plucked some random fans without any training or auditioning. Because seriously - they sound cartoonishly bad. On the plus side - the games are more brutal (harken to S1) and No-eul (pink guard) kicks ass as an emotionless soldier trying to save a player. Haven't finished it yet, so final thoughts. 06/27/25: After finishing Ohjingoh Game S3, there really isn't any K-Dramas that I'm looking forward to. There is usually a lull, before something comes up. Or I am currently looking at old ones from two or three years ago. But there are K-Films:"The Omnisicient Reader", "Noise", "Ghost Train" and "Wall To Wall". They are all intriguing. "The Omnisient Reader" has an interesting premise - a webnovel coming to life, and the protagonist has to somehow work with the 'protagonist' in the novel to rewrite what you can assume a dreary ending. As long as the story, directing and acting are good, I am not putting much emphasis on the quality of the CGI (of course - there has to be a minimal standard. Nobody wants sloppy or cheesy / fake-looking computer animation). I enjoy mysteries and horror, so I'm looking forward to the other ones. I wish they were in Drama form however. 06/25/25: "Revenant" review I think "Revenant" is part of my Top Ten all-time favorites, which I might list at some point. This was particularly creepy visually and psychologically (suspense-wise). It pulls the viewers along for the ride slowly, but very suspensefully and keeps you intrigued. Some might find it too slow, and might think that it should've wrapped it up in less than 10 episodes. They did not want to give it away all too soon, but within layers - which become unraveled or peeled off as the truth is revealed at the end. I felt this was structurally well-organized, and my type of pacing. This type of horror deals with Folklore, which I find more creepy than the usual ghost horror sometimes. It deals with child sacrifice / shamanism, cursed objects and possessions. The evil spirit evoked was more than horrorific. It attached itself as the person's shadow, and would commit deaths via a person's "suicide" - if that person opened the door after some eerie knocking, then they would fall victim to their "suicide" with bruises on their wrists as scars. There are multiple mysteries that were needed to be resolved involving several characters, so it would be too much to go into them. But if you want a high-quality, unique horror - this is one of them. Nuhmeh Nimal-Style! Fortunately, there was Nimal to the rescue (not only as the Ohjingoh Game sacrificial ally in S1) but also as a whistleblower in "Oh my Ghost clients" haha. More thought once drama is finished. It's a comedy that brings to light workplace safety issues involving negligence and downright corruption (resulting in death), as well as workplace bullying. 06/19/25: "The Second Signal" I am beyond excited that "Signal" is getting a second season finally, it's been how many years now. "Signal" is one of the very first crime thrillers I've seen, and one of the best. It deals with communication across time (from the past to the present) to capture the culprit who hasn't been able to be caught, or a criminal case that's been unsolved for years or have been baffling detectives for years. If I remember correctly, we last left off (in the final scene) with the detective from the past finally catching up to the detectives from the present, and the walkie starting up again. It's currently in production, and should release sometime next year. It's a long wait, but hopefully worth it. "Revenant" has been quite creepy in a very subtle, quiet way. This type of horror or thriller is rare. This is a type of minimalism that actually works. As far as the story goes, it is intense and interesting. A full review after finishing. 06/17/25: "Revenant" deals with evil spirits or ghosts attaching itself to a person, and causing deaths along the way (via a cursed object). It's a mostly slow-paced, but visually eerie or creepy through the directing and editing. All you need is subtle music, or just a hint of eerie music and the right timing for a good jump scare. I'll reserve judgment until I finish the K-Drama. Archived Entries | PICTURES / IMAGES / MULTIMEDIA
