Quantum Physics (2019)

sure the plot is not extraordinary, but they did really well with what they got. the writers knew what they wanted to say and they didn't just throw in one random event after another like the usual "corruption" movies.
Lee Chan Woo was a really interesting male lead, he had a nice backstory of working his way from an uneducated bouncer till he became a ceo(?), and that kinda gave more depth to him. it was also interesting to see yet another side of Park Hae Soo "the actor".
Sung Eun Young was a beautiful smart independent elegant character~ again they gave her a nice backstory to build up the character's actions and I just love when writers/directors actually use the female lead as something more than just a side kick, and Seo Ye Ji is just so beautiful and a great actress (and the reason I watched this)~

I also loved the side characters Kim Sang Soo and Kim Kwan Chul were such SRS..

basically after LCW opened his club he only wanted to live as a happy honest business owner but his righteousness involves him in a big mess that turns into another mess which in turn ends up making a big pile of events, and the movie had a nice pace revolving around this.

I kinda want to compare this to prison playbook or live, not in plot or quality, but like it was a nice outlook to the usual crime/corruptions and the pace was nice too.

also, the cinematography was so pretty, they had this nice purplish undertone how could I not love it~
sometimes I just need movies like this that are not too complicated or too dark but it was not comedic, just fun..
the romance was barely nonexistent but it was such a sweet touch, I kinda shipped them, alot~

I rarely rewatch anything so my values are either a 1 or 10, though this was fun enough for another rewatch~

Gangster flick with a bit of a heist

This movie is about a bar owner that fights with organised crime, mix of gangster flick with a bit of a heist, it does touch on some political scandals. Movies with politics in them usually bore me but this one was interesting and the main characters had a lot of chemistry.

Seo ye-ji is the reason I watched this movie after falling head over heels for her in It's okay to not be okay. Her character is so elegant but a bit suspicious at the start but I can't stay mad It's Seo Ye-ji.

I only know Park Hae-Soo as that fella from squid game so I'm so used to him being the bad guy, his character in the movie was surprisingly likeable quite mad at times almost like the joker, it was really cute when his character gets nervous around Seo character.
