Deadpool 2



Deadpool2 ended up being fun, entertaining and emotional (yeah I have even cried in Deadpool2 so that's how I'm). It is great that I like Ryan Reynolds ever since The Proposal (that is a great film btw).  I wouldn't have been as lovely an experience if I didn't like him. Still Deadpool 1 was better imho.

Set It Up

Set It Up well Netflix gave me 98% match on this one and their algorithms must do something right since I liked it a lot. The fact is that I like Zoey Deutch ever since I watched that horrible vampire film in Bangkok. But this is probably the secod time I watched her in anything. I liked this one but wouldn't like it as much if it didn't have Zoey Deutch in it.

A Walk To Remember

A Walk to Remember well I remember crying a lot during the film and end up liking Mandy Moore but not the male lead. All of a sudden I thought about this and sought the film out (I do love a good cry over fiction)  but it was not in either of the legal platforms I use and then I saw the novel at a Seoul used book store. And it was cheap too so I got it and liked it a lot. It sure provided the good fiction cry (there was a lot of crying). I still want to watch the film again.

Something In The Rain (Bap Jal Sajuneun Yeppeun Nuna)

Something In The Rain (Bap Jal Sajuneun Yeppeun Nuna) which kind of translates to Pretty Elder Sister Who Buys Me Food, ended up being both a niche darling (older woman, younger man romance) and added to the considerable fans of the male lead. Now I have no objection to liking younger men, especially when it is easier to do so on screen. But this guy looks like he is in high school. and maybe he is a good actor, I don't know, but I didn't like him. His facial features are handsome (although high school age) but his mimics and gestures turned me off. I don't really like his voice either (which it turns out a big factor in my liking an actor). Anyway I loved Son Ye Jin in this. She is not someone whose films I seek but she always gives a good performance and this show was not an exception. 

All in all I almost forgot about this one I have seen it before my trip to Seoul but thank God remembered while writing about Secret Love. 

Secret Love (Bimil)


Secret Love has been on my radar for some time but never on my "must watch" list since I don't really care for the lead actors one way or another. But the plot was very interesting. And it turned out to be a makjang fest with liberal doses of melodrama and I finished 16 episodes in about three days. It is by no means a good tv show but it sure entertained me. 

Envy

Envy, purchased on a sale turned out to be pretty good. It reminded me of Mary Higgins Clark novels and I love those.  The reader was very good too, however there were intimate scenes and I still get awkward listening to them. So the next novel of Ms. Brown I plan on getting on print (or as e book) 

Mr. Right

Mr. Right is a film I have kept seeing but never really wanted to watch (not really liking Anna Kendrick a lot and there being always a more desired choice) But this time yet another hotel room Seoul it started as I turned the TV on and this happy occasion urged me to give it a try. And I liked it, to my surprise, but then again I like Sam Rockwell and this is a good performance. Still no sympathy for Ms. Kendrick but she doesn't need my sympathy anyway.
