Phungsan Dog - i just finished watching it now & read ur epic review Rita I agree with a lot of what u say it left me also thinking something was missing from the final product. rest in white in case of spoilers -

I agree i was expecting a strong silent type as the hero but didnt expect that he wldnt speak a single word. I found the romance a little too convenient these people hv never met & in space of 3 hours "fall in love" hmmm im sceptical. I do agree the kiss scene was done well especially when the gun is pointed at her she looks at him & then closes her eyes waiting for the bullet & he starts screaming cos he is totally helpless that scene was very moving.

The scene in the underground dungeon was reminiscent of SAW i hv only seen the first one but when they are all locked up in there the writer/director is bludgeoning you over the head with the metaphor for the DMZ & the conflict in general between N. & S. Korea. This wasnt dealt with well in my opinion it just left it with nowhere to go & in the end the scene ends with one of them shooting out the light bulb so we are quite literally left in the dark about what happens....seeing as that scene was a metaphor for the real conflict it seemed like a cop out to me.

The real ordinary people separated by the conflict is much more moving & this is where the hero's job comes into it. I didnt particularly feel any sympathy for the traitor/defector who is selling secrets to S Korea for his own monetary gain & his mistress who comes to join him. I agree with Rita we didnt need to see him die & it seemed pointless if he didnt die during the main story whats the point of showing us that at sometime in the future he dies.

Anyway im glad i watched it thanks for telling us about it Jeanie not sure what to score it though like Rita will maybe sleep on it. I think I may start a new thread & post this review there. LOL
i made a new thread for Phungsan Dog if you guys wanna copy/paste ur reviews there :)

Good Morning...I found this on the interwebs whilst I was in no way looking for Matsuda Shota images. Can anyone tell me what movie/drama this might be from? I know it's not Love Shuffle. Is it just an advertisement for his hotness? No matter, this picture is Kissing Booth worthy.

I think it might be an ad. His hair looks like it did in Love Shuffle. But I love that picture.

It looks like an editorial spread from a fashion magazine. If you look at the top right, there is brand info.
Well, everyone knows who I want, KNG! Sadly, no still does him justice ^_^
As it seems, lately I'm obsessed with collages. I thought I would share another one with you, hope you don't mind.
It's a fruit salad of my favourites. :D

okay so i should have put him here instead (of the chat thread)..this is for sgramirez..if she ever gets in..i'm not sure if she visits this thread though..after all she's all but 14 lol

He's the only reason why I kept on watching BoF to the end (ok, Kim Hyun Joong's smile may have contributed a little too, I can't lie).
So thank you Kamz for the very nice pic. :)
And lucky me I'm over 14...
