Bloodhound - netflix series 8 ep. Pretty good story , lots of voilence and fighting so it depends on your preference liking, full of actions. Just a little strange certain parts of steory dont really connect well , for example the side female character just go missing after being in the centerlight for half the series or more. Still pretty good series about modern day loan shark and underworld at modern Korean setting.
Sweet home S2 released in Dec 23, total 8 ep. The story deviates from manga now if im not mistaken. At one point of S1 it starts deviating when outsiders truck invaded the camp. The story is different now. But S2 is like story of camp #2.. S3 maybe story of MH-1 or camp #1 ? haha.
Yuu yuu Hakusho - releasing in mid Dec. One of my childhood favourite, not sure how good adaptation they will do. Read that it will cover 2 arc up to dark tournament which is alot to cover in just few netflix episodes. We'll see how well it goes. Update: not a bad adaptation albeit a little too short, been 15 years + since i read/watched the mange or anime. It's basically snapshots of some scenes along the long arcs till Dark tournament arc to piece them up for the story to make sense and changing parts here and there to make it shorter and compressed into 5x 45-50min espisodes. To be frank Kurama and Hiei looks hideous compared to original art, Kuwabara got the character right but probably hard to find a fit for kuwabara/sakuragi style character in real life and probably a challenge i suppose to get Hiei right. Karasu surprisingly hits the spot.
Lost you Forever 2023 - total 39 ep. It spends almost first 1-10 ep talking about how it started and how lead actress is living. in Middle she starts meeting the main players of the drama. Not boring,but feels like the drama is abit dragged . The last 2-3 episodes seems like its wrapped up abruptly , feel like a very jerky ending. But the subtitle says S1, so probably there is S2 in plan already from beginning.
You raise me up 2021 - total 8 ep. K drama about a strange theme erectile dysfunction. Have to say the plot and production is decent, while its good keep it short and sweet. It focuses alot on romance , and spent most of time developing character which is less seen as most of time k drama tend to over exaggerate or dramatize, it still a romance themed drama though and what seems like it will be very comedic and ecchi didnt happen. Still for some parts such as first 5-10 min of ep 1. Its really strange that main male lead spends 95% of the time doing part and worrying about other shits , spending parent's money to rent an apartment in Seoul. Still it had some touch of realistic feel as long as you dont get too serious about where the plot heads to most of time. One of those good guy finish last romance kdrama.
Hellbound 2021 - total 6 ep. Story about divine or hell retribution in Korean setting, featuring mainly 3 gorilla/apeman avatar and a head apparition thats like Power Ranger Zordon's long lost brother who looks cooler than him , thats all about it. To be honest its a big waste of time, probably can put this production crammed up all into one movie instead. Halfway in, but still couldn't really put my fingers on what's really the main plot is about yet. There is alot to gripe about the series. At last episode now and everythings still feels like its going downhill from 1st 10 min of episode one. Sadly this one is not deserving of a Netflix production with such poor beat around the bush and story puzzle pieces that dont really piece together the story line puzzle and sort of like piece of gibberish here and there that don't connect and relate much to each other. The mystery is not well explained or revealed instead focuing on human capitalizing on the strange event happening. Deacon Yuji build up a good bad guy vibe only to be taken away by police for battery assault, what the heck at least give him an immdediate decree as retribution man. Whatever happened to the detective that they sort of focused on earlier. And worst of all is the ending, sort of like The Mummy returns that left viewer puzzled on top of the already 5 + episodes of puzzlements and so many strings left loose like the Chairman guy's ending, what happens later to the miracle baby, what happen to New Truth, the public's reaction etc.. No wonder i was snoozing off at episode 2, which doesn't happen so far on any binge i have recently.
Weak Hero - total 8 ep. Is based on Korean webtoon, revolving about 3 friends in school and with setting of high school bullies as the main storyline. Expect some violence , not that gory but some tense scenes where you will think what will happen to this or that guy in the pinch. Other than that would rate this about so-so , not dull but not very exciting story. The lack of emotion of lead male most of time, i'm not sure is it intentional or according to the webtoon character. The first bad guy was okay building quite good, but later on most of them are pretty much meh.
Strong girl Nam Soon - total 16 ep. K-drama about a family with hereditary superwoman power. Aside from this, the story is pretty decent and something that is out of K-drama stereotypical drama. The appeal point of this is it involves some romance and straight up drama about the drug trafficking and mafia storyline. Pretty recommended for watch. Lead actress is your typical korean lady beauty and the excellent protrayal of her mother adds up to the appeal of the series.
