Zimna wojna
(2018)

It's an musical? It's hystorical? It's a love story?
As many reviews point out, this is a good film astethically speaking. But at the final isn't decided by any genre and that's is confusing. I was also left with a question: what is the function of black and white here? Is it just ornamental or is there something else?

A good movie
It's not a masterpiece as many people said but it does have some sympathetic scenes that make it a nicer film.

WOW, the script and the cinematography
Chicago Typewriter it's an amazing drama for a lot of reasons. Visuals are so georgeous, specially in the historicals parts. Yoo Ah In is one of the most talentful korean actors and her female partner, Im Soo Jung, don't gets behind. Her character is a strong woman, not the typical silly girl in K-Dramas. Go Kyung Pyo did surprise me so much: he is a really cute ghostwriter. But, the strongness of this serie i'ts definetely the script with a very emotional story with a touch of action and suspense too. Well...and romance. And mostly of that it's because Chicago Typewriter is a tVN drama (this TV channel has the best shows! ). I think I did write a lot and the point was that Chicago Typewriter will always be in my heart.

Lang Man Shu Gei Ni
(2020)

I can't get over it!
This drama is just wonderful. The first two episodes are slow and full of cliches, but then it gets more intriguing and you have no regrets. The only reason not to put a ten is that most of the time real world scenes are boring. Ah, the ending of Quing Feng is somewhat disappointing. But the rest of things are more than fine. The love story is absolutely cute, the characters are hilarious and adorable, and it's a really addictive drama. This was a big surprise for me (it is my first Taiwanese drama). I think I will continue to see more shows from this country.

Needing the second season
This K-Drama has it all: a strong lead like Sun Oh (who remids me of Kim Tam in Heirs), a shy second lead like Hye Young and well, Kim Jojo it's so perfect (again, she reminds me of Cha Eun-Sang: is hard-working and independent). Also, the visuals are so beautiful, OST it's ok, and it's has some extras like problematization of tecnologies and gay representation as well.

Thank God for Park Shin Hye
An amazing perfomance of Shin Hye and Lee El plays her role very well. I hope to see her in a leading role soon, she deserves it. Good landscapes too. In no time it goes in the direction we think. Catchy, original and end enigmatic.

Historias lamentables
(2020)

Un rayo de sol
My apollogies for using spanish but this phrase define such an excellent movie. Funny and with a clever sense of humour what is so hard to find(that osciles between black humour and playing a lot with the prejudices). Don't be afraid about the two hours of duration; doesn't feel hard at any moment.

It gets better
Well the first episode didn't promise too much, but then boom! this starts to get surprisingly fun and entertaining to watch with some pretty action scenes. I can't quite understand why it's so underrated. 5.8 stars, really?

Gukgabudo-ui nal
(2018)

A crisis in real time
Like a domino effect, we will see how economy falls and the disaster is coming. The goverment quickly despairs, the poor people are the more affected and MIF tries to apply truculent recipes. Great acting of Yoo Ah In and very well portrayed the sexism in politics.

Never I've cried that much
Seriously,I have no more tears. If well this is a film based on real facts, I think it's reflects at a good way how hard are this historical processes. Song Kang Oh shines like always. Great performance!

Leokki
(2016)

Funny misunderstoods
A efective comedy. Love how it laughs about the K-Dramas clichés. Yoo Hae- Jin perfomance (as the profesional killer) was my favorite. He is so expressive and is not exactly a hegemonic Korean beauty which makes us love more their role. There was moments that I felt that the character deserved hug.

Gongdong gyeongbi guyeok JSA
(2000)

Unexpected
When I started this film I was think it was a classical action and war movie. At the first 30 minutes in fact, that is but then it's revealed the born and raising of a male friendship between the soldiers. And there is more: there are some winks of homoeroticism around their relation wich considering the context it's something shocking (and inusual for an assian film of the early 2000's).

My respects for JSA and Chan- Wook Park!

Hotel Del Luna
(2019)

Reasons to watch this serie
1) IU: Her acting (as a strong female character) and her amazing outfits. 2) The great OST who fits at every moment. 3) The fairy tale vibes. 4) The cameos. 5) The Fx, stunning scenaries and how well shooted is! 6) The lovely story.

Keeps you tense all the time!
This must be one of the most intense Korean Dramas. It's pretty dark too (I have suffered a lot. Seriously. the plot always play with your emotions). I spent a very good moment seeing it: it has no waste.

We Are Who We Are
(2020)

Teenagers and self discovering
As always, Luca Guadagnino being provocative and including high dosis of erotism. Also, in this serie there are much above grown up, the search of the own identity, define sexuality and cross that turbulent sea called adolescence.

Gangnam 1970
(2015)

Predictable with some entertainment
Fight scenes are well timed and performed (as only Asian cinema can do) but the plot didn't surprise me. My six stars are for that reason.

I expected more about Lee Min Ho but there's not original at his acting: it feels like he always does it the sme way. Maybe the korean movies fans will enjoy this film (at the cast there are many known actors) but for the rest of us it's not that interesting.

Cheese in the Trap
(2016)

Nothing is what it seems
A drama with really complex characters. Each one of them carryng their own life story. Here don't exists good or bad people just humans with hard past experiences, unique points of views and more. So, get ready to cry at 16 episodes.

Noble, My Love
(2015)

Another Cinderella's Story
The plot it's the typical romance between rich boy and poor girl but I've to admit that it's funny and have some interesting twists.
