I think this is going to be one of my favorites of 2025 from just one episode. Cast is on point with fast character development; script is insightful, hilarious, and intriguing; and the filmmaking feels top notch. What a comeback for Lee Jong suk!!

Went to see K-film "Hi.5" tonight with my wife and our K-drama buddies!! It was a blast and we had so much fun pointing out actors from various shows (3 of whom are currently in "Our Unwritten Seoul" even though this was filmed 4 years ago!!). Also kind of sad to see our fallen star Yoo In-ah...

I'm sorry, makers of "Goodboy" but who in the world would put a face as handsome as Park Bo-gum's into a boxing ring? There's a limit to my ability to suspend disbelief.
Man, that kid's smile lights up the screen!! Hope this show turns out well. Amazon doesn't have the best record at picking shows

Trying to take my mind off other stuff, I put together a list of my top 3 Kdramas for 2014-24, kind of a golden era in my opinion (things seem to be slipping a bit into repetition and cliche nowadays). Apologies if I missed anyone's favorites, but these shows are pretty unmissable to me!

There is a different version of the Christian faith, one that is far removed from the political headlines.
This faith loves its enemies. It mends the broken heart. And it declares, by word and deed, that no one is too lost to experience the love of God. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/o...

Opinion | A Resurrection Faith Needs a Resurrection Church
As anger and fear dominate the public square, a church that follows a resurrected savior should be a balm, not a blowtorch.

Seo Hyun-jin is my favorite kdrama actress--she emits such a combination of beauty, charm, tenderness, comedic timing, pathos, and strength often in the same character. I saw a clip from You Are My Spring (which I initially loved, but later fell flat) and it just reminded me of how great she is

A 2024 Kdrama that totally flew under my radar but is amazing = Family Matters (now on Viki). It is violent/gory as all get out, yet at heart is a tender love story of a found family in an evil world (hated that the villains are all fake Christians but there are phonies seeking power thru religion)

Skipping ahead to Day 13 to catch up..."A Hilarious Comedy": the one that left me in stitches the most (and sometimes in tears) is Be Melodramatic. Chun Woo-hee is a comedic genius: her little nose wrinkle smile, her dead-eyed stares, her shamelessness...the rest of the cast is all superb as well

Cogent biblical scholarship vs. unhinged prosperity greed. This is what James, the brother of Jesus, described as the way from above vs. the way from below. Imes a fan of this OT prof's prophetic voice speaking truth to those in power!!
Paula White’s vision appeals to the self-centeredness in each of us, offering self-actualization and self-fulfillment in the name of spirituality. In her way of seeing the world, God is at our beck and call to carry out our purposes.
That's not how it works.
