Dokjeon (2018)
Exciting Remake "Drug War"
This was an action packed thriller that is full of suspense from the beginning. The search for Asia's biggest drug cartel keeps you in suspense while psychotic drug dealer seems to have control of the Chinese & Korean Drug market. The search for the Real Mr. Lee is on. The acting is superb with a well versed group of actors. The Unsuspecting Reveal of who Mr. Lee is pretty cool. I Love the injured dog that almost died in one of the explosions as well. This was the last performance of actor Ju-Hyundai Kim who died October 30th, 2017 at age 45. His performance as the Crazed drug dealer was considered one of his best performances. As it is the ending is ambiguous? What happened? After watching this movie 5 times I read that an alternate ending existed. If u want to search on u-tube it can be found. A brief 5 minute change. It might be well to leave it uncertain.
Nurse Jackie (2009)
The Only Medical Show Close To Reality in Medicine
I was an Medical & Surgical Intensive Care, Recovery Room, Hemodialysis, Cardiac Catheterization, Infectious Disease Office nurse & Teen Treatment Center & School Registered Nurse over the years. Nurse Jackie is the ONLY show I could watch and I actually loved it. They did their research for getting details correct about things like charts, Oxygen Delivery, Gastrointestinal Tubes even Intubated patients. Once I accepted the he physical details that were correct I got into the story. In real life the only place I have seen nurses get away with the assertiveness that Jackie does was at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in the Medical Intensive Care Unit. Only in Academic Hospitals do you find experienced nurses being respected by interns & some Residential doctors. The interns are often from top notch medical schools but are just beginning to learn their craft so a real team effort is developed between interns & nurses. Most hospitals across the country are full of egotistical physicians who would rarely listen to what any nurse had to say about the patients. Registered Nurses(RN),Licensed Practical Nurses(LPN) & Nurses Aides(NA) work with patients 24/7 and together they know what is going on with the patients. They do not diagnose & prescribe treatments as the physician does. At the top of the hierarchy is the Head Nurse of each unit. Really good Head Nurses know about all of the patients under their care at any given time. In the end the doctors make 10 minute visits on their patients in the hospital each day & they charge a hefty fee which patients can read on their bill under (EOB) Explanation of Benefits. On average in 1980's an Infectious Disease Doctor made $200. An hour. An ICU RN mad $15,00 an hour. All of the sex portrayed in hospitals on TV is fantasy of the writers. People are so busy working they often do not have time for lunch & they work 1-2 hour past there shift without extra pay if you are salaried. Sometimes nurses & doctors do get married but the divorce rate is one of the highest of most professions.
Gwimul (2021)
BEYOND EVIL DESERVES A 20 RATING!
It is currently available on Netflix & Viki TV. I have watched this series 5 times. It is without a doubt the best writing, screenplay, acting & music I have ever seen. After seeing the performance of Yeo Jin-gu(Han Ju Won) in "Hwayi: A Monster Boy" 2013, which was like watching a young Brando in "On The Waterfront", I thought I 'd check this out. He plays the younger detective Ju won to Shin Ha-kyan (Lee Dong Shik) to the older detective, who is amazing. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He clearly is an experienced actor who made this character his own. The entire cast of great performances made this a great series. Check out the number of awards this is getting. I would highly recommend this series to everyone. I think it will become a classic & a cult film at the same time.
Ajeossi (2010)
The Man From Nowhere is A Fabulous Movie
I bought this & have watched it 7 times. It's a great action story with good writing and awesome acting. You actually care about the little girl, her safety and the one person who protects her, not her mother, her neighbor. Added to that the main lead Won Bin(Cha Tae-sik) is very good looking, very intense and a great action actor. I just love it.
Syucheu (2018)
SUITS: Korean Version is 100 Times Better Than American Suits!
I tried to watch American Suits 5 times. I have no patience for it. All of the characters are annoying. I discovered K-shows about a year ago on Netflix. "A Korean Odyssey" written by the Hong sisters was my intro into Korean talent. This series has great writing and acting. I can see where this show follows the US version but they Clearly have risen above it with more better writing in the character development & cases. You actually care about the people. I am bummed that there is only one season. Kang-Sykes CHO the lead attorney played by Jang Dong-Gun is in "No Tears For The Dead" 2014 a movie written & directed by Jeon-beom Lee and on my list of to watch shoes. Jeon-beom Lee also wrote & directed "The Man From Nowhere" 2010 a great movie. If you like k-shows some greats are " I Saw The Devil", 2010, "Hwayi: A Monster Boy"2013 & currently "Beyond Evil" 2021on Netflix & Viki TV. The best series I have ever seen even Better than Hitchcock.
AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)
I Love This Movie
I Love the action in this movie. I have watched it a few times. I like the end where the Predator marks the girl so she's good with the pack that will be there soon BUT why if the Predators were standing beside them when the Alein is kicking A__ don't they stop it. Oh, now I remember. Won't say. Clever move for next one?
Hwayi: Gwimuleul samkin ai (2013)
10+ NOT TO BE MISSED!
This film was made in 2013 and still holds a punch. I have watched this 5 times in a few days. The other reviews give the story details so I won't. This film is so well written, acted & produced that each time I see it I see more details ie. Like the artwork in the real parents home & Hwayi's(Yeo Jin-gu) drawings of his family of 5 fathers etched by his bed to the computer screen that reveals the gangster(CEO Jim) who wants this family killed to tear down their home so he can develop commercial property. They are the last holdout & won't leave thinking that their precious child who was kidnapped 7 years ago at age 2 will return any day. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is the first movie I have seen that portrays family dysfunction so well. The young child Hwayi(Yeo Jin-gu) received many deserved awards for new actor & he with a great cast does this movie justice. The action starts immediately and continues to the very end. I highly recommend this film to anyone. Please watch Past the Credits for a nice closure to this film. I did not do it till my 5th time watching. There is a sweet song in this movie, "Alice in Weird Land" by YOZOH. Can't get the song off my mind. Actor Cho Jin-Wong(Kit Tae) was in The Handmaiden(2016) & The Believer(2018) which Park Hae-Joon(Beom Soo) was in too. Great movies as well. Also, Park Ji Won(Yoo Yeon-Seok) the young lead gangster can be seen in "Mr Sunshine"(2018) as the bad guy you love.

HUGE FAN of Oh Yeon-Seo
I have been a big fan of Oh Yeon-Seo(Lee Min Kyung)since I saw her in A Korean Odyssey, a film I have watched many times. She reminds me of Jennifer Aniston in USA. She is a beautiful actress who seems great as a Dramatic & Comedic actress. I am halfway through this film & so far I am entertained. Unfortunately, there are very few films accessible to me. I even joined Viki TV just to see her in Come Back Mister Please. It is full of great pretty actors but the story is slow. I have discovered Chinese & Korean films & actors that I am following. 2 awesome U-Tube Videos stories of their own: 1) Korean Love Story/Korean Mix Hindi Songs/Simmering Senses Mix 2.7 million views & 2) swung Jae/hong nan crazy love(please come back mister). 986k views Simmering slow crazy in love Beyoncé. I think these actors would be a hot couple in a movie! Looking for more good films with her in them.
Ang-ma-reul bo-at-da (2010)
LOVE IT!
First Lee Byung-Hun(Kim Soo-Hyeon) I first saw him in Red 2. A funny action movie with Bruce Willis & a Hot Woman With A Gun (Helen Mirren. This film is a little slow as the storyline is established & then you can't stop watching. The ending was unexpected but made this film an instant Cult Classic.
Chocolate (2008)
Been Looking For This Movie
I have discovered really good movies From China & South Korea, usually Dramas, Fantasy, Comedies & Action Films. I read about Jee Ja Yanin (Zen) months ago but did not watch it. I finally found her first movie and was delighted to see her amazing talents & decent pretty good performance as an autistic child. I see she is in more films & I will watch more. Triple Threat will probably be more HOLLYWOOD. It is a Must to watch this film past the Credits to see how many of the male characters have injuries from this little girl. The Bad Guy was sent to the hospital. Best of Luck to this up & coming star.
