PERSONAL THOUGHTS 11/04/26: Dead-End Job I enjoyed this one - thoroughly disturbing, creepy and had that eccentric / horror-type atmosphere. A sketchy part-time job agency offers butt-loads of money for any desperate individuals struggling in life. But what they don't know - the jobs are a life-and-death gamble involving the supernatural and horrors that get in the way. It's a sadistic Ohjingoh Game and Strangers From Hell combined. My favorite scenarios happened to be the mime / clown one, and the finale - the amusment park death game with costumes becoming attached to the person's skin if you wear it too long. "They're All Gonna Laugh At You" - that's part of variety shows I guess haha. We learn of the backstory, of how Byeon's father disappeared only for the son to find out that the father participated in these sadistic jobs. The defining moment was the father's humiliation when he stumbled and bumbled in front of an audience at a variety show and failed to win money.
10/28/26: Well, it's almost upon us - "Dead-End Job". In the spirit of Halloween season, this horror drama is worth checking out. Other than that, I'm slowly watching "Missing: The Other Side" S2. There's a lot of episodes in this one. There's been some J-Films or C-Films worth checking out, so I've been pausing dramas for awhile. I find K-Horror Films / Dramas quite intense and qenuinely scary. While J-Horror and C-Horror tend to be more visual and quirky / strange. Not very scary however, more on the gore and visual effects. They've been somewhat disappointing, which is why I just stick with K-Horror. 10/10/26: The Ordinary Jackpot This was a pleasant, feel-good drama - nothing overly dramatic nor pretentious. While the lottery or the winnings themselves are not at the center of the drama, the drama is about the results or what unfolds from a person who won the lottery all of a sudden. We know that most anyone would quit their jobs and spend their winnings recklessly or whatnot. But the drama turns an unmotivated company "yes-man" into someone actively working to better the company and his team. In fact - the winnings is only a push for the person to begin working hard again. To work with passion. Thus, we get an easy-going workplace drama. A crisis arise, politics get in the way of moving up, etc. But I wouldn't have it any other way. How many "Gong Eun Tae's" are out there - not many. And we find out at the end, the coffee shop owner who quietly gave him the advice to keep working, enjoy working. We find out he won the lotto too, so essentially speaking from experience. So it all came full circle, without even going back to the subject of winning the lotter or the lottery winnings at all. Lottery winnings can turn someone into an asshole and someone miserable to deal with. But then you have this type of character who can re-inforce the belief that your life shouldn't rely on the winnings (it can disappear in an instant also). 10/08/26: I vaguely remember "Missing: The Other Side". That was quite some time ago. Since I'm about to finish up "The Ordinary Jackpot", there isn't any new ones that piques my interest at all. I have to go back to some older ones I missed - there were a few years before 2024 where I stopped watching. That's where "Missing: The Other Side" S2 comes in. I'm not sure how I didn't catch this - it just passed by. Probably not enough advertising. Anyhoo - starting to check it out. "Your Personal Taxi" was touching and sweet. I wish there were more episode, but I guess it was meant to be short, sweet and to-the-point. They were all touching, since we all can connect with the common bond of - Music, or personal songs we're inspired by. I enjoyed the Choco Pie / phish scammer Guy, the Falling asleep and snoring during a haircut Guy, and the quirky or eccentric father of the awkward DJ Guy. And a cameo appearance who plays a hip-hop dance enthusiast and reconnects with his dance partner. 10/06/26: I'm enjoying "Your Personal Taxi" so far - this isn't the typical drama. It has no plot - just an anthology of the everday lives of the taxi driver's regular passengers. The driver offers a collection of songs from albums he has, the customer can select one that is thematic to their story. Whether they are Choco Pies or having an eccentric father with good intentions, this is just a simple, down-to-earth drama. Only 25 minutes long per, so it doesn't waste any time. Very stylish and artistic in telling the stories. Archived Entries |
