  3. I noticed on #Netflix that a new #KoreanMovie is about to be released on March 31: “Humint” – asianwiki.com/Humint_(Korean_M

    Initially, I didn’t intend to watch this movie because my current mood prefers lovely #Kdramas like “Boyfriend on Demand” and “Still Shining”.
    But ... then .... I also noticed that Shin Se-Kyung is in this movie! Thus, I will probably watch it in the future, but at least *not* immediately.

  4. I’m printing covers for my new Japanese book and the Korean film I saw yesterday: 화차 (Helpless), which is an adaptation from 火車 by Miyuki Miyabe. The film was so great, I read two books by this author, and I loved them, so I’m not surprised I loved this adaptation. And great actors too!

    I want to watch more Korean movies this year, so I’m keeping this journal to record films. Last film I saw was 내일의 기억 (Recalled), I have mixed feelings for this one with things I found great and some I liked less.

    - 널 기다리며 (Missing You), I didn’t like this one at all.
    - 타겟 (Don’t buy the seller), I found it quite good and enjoyed watching it.

  9. Watched the Korean film, Officer Black Belt, tonight. It was billed as a Buddy Cop Comedy...

    DO NOT be fooled by this. There is some dark subject matter, and the comedy is a very small portion. The trailer is super misleading.

    The film was good, but definitely disappointing considering what I was sold it as.

  10. Emergency Declaration (K-movie) review

    I’ve always had a soft spot for plague dramas. (Okay, I admit it, more of an obsession.) The tension, the race against time, and the high stakes when humanity battles an invisible enemy, zombies … you get it.

    So, when I came across this movie—a plane-bound thriller where a terrorist spreads a deadly virus among passengers on a flight to Honolulu—I was immediately hooked. A virus on a plane? I couldn’t press play quickly enough.

    The premise drew me in quickly: A contagion threatening lives at 30,000 feet—edge-of-your-seat drama guaranteed. Viruses, airborne chaos, people trapped in a confined space—what could go wrong?

    Well, plenty, but I’ll get into that later.

    Cast and characters

    My initial feelings

    I hit play with excitement. The setup was intriguing enough, and I was ready for a wild ride. The early scenes didn’t disappoint either. The tension builds quickly as the characters realize something sinister is afoot. You can’t help but feel the urgency of the situation. I was invested, eagerly anticipating where this story was headed.

    The more I watched, the more logical problems began to pile up, and I ended up scratching my head more often. The film asks you to suspend disbelief quite a bit.

    The good

    Let’s talk about what worked, though. The acting, for one. The cast delivered solid performances, and the action sequences were intense and well-executed. Lee Byun Hun, in particular, stole the show. There’s a standout moment where his character charges into the cockpit, takes control of the plunging plane, and narrowly averts a disastrous crash. It’s a nail-biting scene, filled with tension and adrenaline.

    The bad

    But here’s where things go south. The villains, for example, are one-dimensional at best. We never get a clear understanding of why the terrorist unleashes the virus.

    His motivations remain a mystery, and he feels like a classic mustache-twirling villain with no depth. It’s a missed opportunity, really. I wanted more complexity, more reason to care about or hate him. Instead, he’s just evil for evil’s sake.

    Then there’s the film’s over-the-top jingoism. The story leans heavily into a “South Korea against the world” narrative, portraying the country as one denied of help by the US and Japan at every turn.

    It’s a bit much, sometimes.

    The logical flaws (Oh boy)

    Now for my biggest gripe: the plot holes and logical inconsistencies. There were several moments that made me go, “Wait, what?” The film throws common sense out the window on more than one occasion:

    • Why is a street cop attending high-level government health crisis meetings? Do they have no other experts available?
    • How does a crime scene investigator declare a corpse “positive for the virus” when the virus is completely unknown? What kind of magical testing agent is this?
    • And the kicker: why is a cop able to waltz into a virus containment unit and inject himself with a deadly pathogen? Who’s allowing this?!

    A movie reviewer once said that the pandemic has turned everyone into amateur virus experts, and I have to agree. Even before COVID-19, I would have questioned these absurd plot points, but now they’re even harder to swallow.

    The plot felt contrived, and I found myself pulled out of the story whenever these illogical moments surfaced—which, unfortunately, happened a lot.

    Plot points I loved

    But credit where it’s due: when the film delivered, it really delivered. That aforementioned scene where Lee Byun Hun steers the plane away from certain doom? That was gold. It’s a high-octane moment that genuinely had me on the edge of my seat. I do have to ask, though—why wasn’t autopilot on? Isn’t that standard for commercial flights?

    Thoughts on the ending

    The film’s conclusion wrapped things up in a pretty predictable but satisfactory manner. It’s the kind of “everyone’s happy in the end” scenario that felt a bit too neat, given the chaos leading up to it. Was it contrived? Absolutely. But sometimes you just have to roll with it.

    Would I watch it again?

    If I can turn off my brain and just enjoy the action, I’d probably give this movie another go. It’s one of those films that can be entertaining in the right mindset, provided you don’t dig too deep into the logic of it all. So, yes, I’d watch it again, but only if I’m in the mood for mindless fun.

    Final thoughts

    This movie is a mixed bag. It has its moments—great action, solid performances, and a tense atmosphere—but it’s weighed down by plot holes and underdeveloped villains. If you’re a fan of pandemic thrillers and can overlook some major logical leaps, you might enjoy it. But if you’re someone who craves airtight plots and believable character motivations, this might leave you frustrated.

    Ultimately, it’s an enjoyable enough ride as long as you leave logic at the door.

    Final rating: 3 out of 5

  11. Entertaining and visually appealing, with good acting and heavy-handed but enjoyable satire, but too many themes.

    Why the fuss about sauces?

    7/10

  12. The previous week, I watched on #Netflix a #KoreanMovie, “Wonderland”, starring Bae Suzy, Park Bo-Gum (“Record of Youth”), and Choi Woo-Sik (“Our Beloved Summer”).

    It’s a science fiction movie that is more related to the loss of loved ones. I found it not too bad but also not exceptionally good. In practice, it’s discrete/good. I particularly liked the actress Jung Yu-Mi. If you will watch or have watched it, let me know what you think!

    (엽기적인 그녀)
    2001

    All the Koreans I've had the pleasure of meeting and asking about movies so far, I've been able to bail them out with this film to start. When I mention "My Sassy Girl," it takes a short time for them to translate the English term. The reaction, after initial reluctance, ...

  19. CW: Horror

    A Tale of Two Sisters, Horror von Kim Jee-woon, Südkorea 2003
    -
    Einer der besten Horrorfilme seiner Zeit, der zwar zum Teil auch auf Jumpscares setzt, aber auf eine spezielle Art über Andeutungen und sich immer weiter aufbauenden Anspannung definiert. Physische Gewalt gibt es kaum, Splatter-Fans werden also nicht auf ihre Kosten kommen.

    [1/4]
