Blackpink: Light Up the Sky (2020)
Well made documentary film
The band BLACKPINK is "a female idol created by a sizeable Korean agency." Many people around me have prejudices like "instant products." However, anyone who had this prejudice against the BLACKPINK, or even those who did not understand the group, will be a fan of them after watching the documentary and supporting their future. Even if people do not become fans of the band, prejudice against the group will naturally be removed. That may be one intention of Caroline Suh, who directed the film.
The film focuses on the growth process of BLACKPINK members. Instead of ordinary girls' lives, Caroline calmly looks at them, who choose a harsh trainee's experience. The trainees could only take one day off the 14th, having to endure a few dance classes and two to three vocal classes for 14 hours a day. It is a system that drops out in the middle after monthly presentations and strict evaluations. The members of BLACKPINK have overcome four years (Rose), five years (Jisoo, Lisa), and six years (Jenny) in this system. BLACKPINK is the first team YG has released in 7 years since 2NE1 Group after fierce internal tests and competition. Each member calmly explains how hard it was and how they overcame it. The piece's highlight was geared toward the band's triumphant performance at the Coachella Music Festival in 2019. After the performance, Jenny says, "This was a moment where I felt satiated with our work. Like all those training years were worth it!"
At the end of the Newsis.com review, "New Idol, Human BLACKPINK, Reason for Revealing the World." "The life of a colorful idol is not easily portrayed from a blank sheet. It is to raise the light that will light up the world in black, which is broken and scratched by wind waves and pain."

The best Korean drama I've ever seen
It is an age that there are countless dramas of love storyline. Among similar TV-dramas, the one "Mr. Sunshine" is a very high quality TV-movie series. Especially, the great performance produced by male lead Lee Byung-hun and female lead Kim Tae-ri are one of the delights of watching this drama. Mr. Lee is already a great actor well-known to the public. On the other hand, in my case, Ms. Kim first got to know her through this drama. The reason why I wait for this drama every weekend is her presence. Her beautiful acting and her elegant voice are one of the main factors that make the drama distinguishable from countless ordinary love story movies. Of course, the power of the drama script and the ability of the director are indispensable. The period of the drama is from 1990 to 1905. Nevertheless, the love story of the two lovers is moving beyond the times.
