Rants and Weekly Raves (RAWR) #471


Anne: Whats up Drama Lovers! One other couple of weeks have passed by, and I have not made a lot progress in my drama watching. 

However this week, there will probably be a change of tempo. I will probably be discussing two Korean exhibits, each on Netflix.


Officer Black Belt

The primary one is not a drama sequence, it is truly a film. I began this due to Kim Woo Bin. And it was move 11pm and I did not need to keep up too late… It was, for probably the most half, a enjoyable watch. Lee Jung Do is a younger man who spends his days having enjoyable, enjoying video games together with his associates or studying numerous marital arts/combating methods. Whereas delivering meals for his dad’s restaurant in the future, he comes throughout two males combating. When the “legal” obtained the higher hand, Lee Jung Do stepped in and “helps”. Because of this act, he’s launched the parole unit. His pure combating abilities makes him a pure match to fill in for the injured officer he saved that day.

Since it’s a film, it’s fairly quick paced. Be warned nonetheless, the most important instances handled intercourse crimes towards youngsters. So some elements…was arduous to sit down by way of. 

In the long run, Lee Jung Do finds his calling in life. Yay!


Love Subsequent Door

I began this one, additionally on Netflix, as a result of my husband needed one thing to look at with me. And I began this as a result of Jung So Min. I liked her in Alchemy of Souls. The story takes a basic plot of childhood associates turned lovers and offers a twist within the particulars. Choi Seung Hyo and Bae Seok Ryu grew up subsequent door to one another. Their moms, together with two different girls within the neighborhood, like to gossip and examine the achievements of their youngsters. They grew to become associates when his mother and father moved again to Korea from France. And having lived all his younger life in France, shifting to Korean the place he wasn’t used to the meals, the language, the folks, and surroundings induced him to reject the whole lot. It was Bae Seok Ryu’s friendliness that broke him out of his little shell.


The story truly begins (after the primary scene once we are launched to the group of gossipy mothers)…

when Bae Seok Ryu returns to Korea after 10 years, having damaged off her engagement and stop her job. This, after all, did not go very nicely together with her mother, who was simply bragging about her daughter’s job and pending marriage. (I liked that her mother’s drums are her methodology of letting out her frustration.)


From the very first episode, Choi Seung Hyo and Bae Seok Ryu has a really antagonistic and straightforward going friendship. Choi Seung Hyo simply opened his personal structure agency and is within the course of of building a foothold within the enterprise. We’re rapidly launched to the remainder of the solid…  

Jung Mo Eum, Bae Seok Ryu’s finest pal, who additionally grew up with Choi Seung. She is a paramedic and is all the time doing “heroic” acts. All their mother and father and the roles they play of their youngsters’s lives.

Because the episodes transfer ahead, the story opens up every arc by going ahead and backwards. We discover out that Choi Seung Hyo had a crush on his finest pal after they have been younger, however on account of a sequence of occasions, and the truth that Bae Seok Ryu went abroad to high school, he by no means stated a phrase. Finally, even he forgot how he felt, not till he dug up his letter to himself in a time capsule the three associates buried. (The funniest factor was Jung Mo Eum already broke into that point capsule and skim everybody’s letter. So from the very starting, Jung Mo Eum knew about his secret.)

When the ML was prepared to speak about his emotions, the ex-fiancée of Bae Seok Ryu enters the scene. By episode 10, we discover out concerning the cause for her breaking of the engagement. I actually like this quite a bit. And I am even loving the romance blossoming between Jung Mo Eum and Kang Dan Ho. Think about that you just fall in love with the daughter first and her dad simply occurs to be the cherry on high.

There are solely two episodes every week, so we now have about 3 extra weeks to go earlier than this sequence involves an finish. That is nicely price a watch.


That is all for this week. I’ve additionally began Melody of Golden Age, and I nonetheless love how good Ding Yu Xi look in costume. 

Hope everybody finds one thing good to look at!
