It's quite a good film that I truly enjoyed watching. The frenemies Ri Joon Pyung and Jo In Chang were really cool. I really liked the ending, which rounded the movie up well. I found the inclusion of Choi Ji Young throughout the film a bit unnecessary as she generally gives importance to In Chang's survival but does not give much importance to the scenes specifically. However, such minor "inconvenience" (you couldn't even call it that) is clearly survivable. I deffo recommend this one to all action lovers because it is certainly worth the watch! Some really nice action and shoot outs.

"Better Days" is a heavy film. It is showing the suffering stemming from bullying, how bullies can feel no remorse, how the victims are mostly neglected by peers and adults. This is not a feel-good film (though, it has a happy ending, imo) but dark and sad and infuriating. The lead actors did a fantastic job, I love the production, the writing and so on. I can 100% recommend this film as it is a masterpiece in its category. You should be prepared, though: Bullying is a sensitive and hurtful topic. "Better Days" approached this very well and, hence, deserves a 10/10. I don't know any aspect that would have needed improvement. Stand up against bullying.

A hilarious and at times silly film that features two very good actors (Ra Mi Ran and Lee Sung Kyung) who portray their characters very well. The plot was nice and the main leads bickering is my highlight of the film. I am sure many have seen the scene with the leads trying to arrest the criminal in the train station, the whole film is just as hilarious. Anyone who likes some good women's power and action/comedy will certainly like this one. 8.5/10 - so deffo a good recommendation.

This one usually gets quite the high ratings on its page and other other forums. However, I absolutely disliked this film. I understand its message (I think) and the acting was not bad but I generally did not like this film. My bestie Aly wanted to watch this one together and I agreed and regretted watching every second of this film. 4.5/10 is already a very nice rating and I could have rated it lower. I guess, this one depends on one's preferences. Normally, I would dissuade ye from watching this film but because of its positive reception, you should give it a try, if it seems interesting enough.

Ngl, I am not the greatest fan of this film. I usually quite like the actors and the plot seemed interesting enough but, unfortunately, it could not keep me hooked. Commentators and reviewers on the film's page seem to really appreciate the film, so like many other films and series that I have watched: if you like the plot and actors, give it a try. Maybe read through some of the comments and reviews and if you believe that you would enjoy the film, give it a shot. I wasn't a fan, but that doesn't mean that you won't be. It is also a bit long ago for me to remember the specifics of why I did not like the film, but I trust my rating.

The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos is a good film based on Bad Guys, the drama. If you liked the drama, deffo watch this one (I haven't watched the drama yet but plan to -  as of March 2024). I liked the concept of criminals and cops vs worse criminals and can recommend this one. It wasn't perfect and quite chaotic but it's nice nevertheless.

A really good crime/action film with a really interesting concept. A criminal/gang boss and cop working together to catch a serial killer? Hook me up. Don't expect redemption or anything, this is not a fluffy film with major character development but rather two worlds clashing in their fight against worse evil. I deffo recommend this one!

Ouff... All characters are very stupid and you don't really need a brain to watch this. Nonetheless, for days where you don't want to use your brain but rather watch while doing something else or when you are tired, this film is grand. I'd rate this film a 6/10 as it is not good but also not terrible. The comedy is very... simple. I generally would not recommend this but, again, if you need something "stupid", this is grand.
