Moving: Drama vs Webtoon Part 3

Time for the final arc! Moving started off strong and continued to outdo itself to the end, coming to a satisfying conclusion that ties enough loose ends to feel complete while also leaving tons of room for future stories. Like the previous acts, Kang Full makes some changes, which he mentioned in an interview, but for fans of the webtoon, the story is still intact and recognizable. On all accounts, Moving was a fantastic adaptation, so let’s dig deeper into what made it so great. Note: Part 3 will cover episodes 15-20 in the drama and episodes 26-45 in the webtoon (a.k.a., the third act). INTRODUCING THE VILLAINS The final enemies in the original webtoon are the supers from North Korea, and in essence, their identities are the last twist of the story. Taking advantage of its format, Kang Full was able to hide where they came from because accents are much easier to camouflage in text. As a result, when they finally reveal their accents (using a classic term/curse that any K...

Lovepark End of the Year Awards

Welcome to the first Lovepark End of the Year Award: where the awards don't matter, and nobody cares! Judges: ME! (Yeah, if you're looking for objectivity, you're in the wrong place.) NOTE: Not all the dramas of 2012 are nominated in this mock awards because I have not seen all the dramas. Therefore, do not feel offended if I never once mention a show you loved or loathed.

Yang Dong-geun back as Hero

Yang Dong-geun is back on the small screen again- his last drama was I am Sam in 2007 -  and looking quite awesome. He will be appearing in OCN's new drama Hero which airs its first episode this coming Sunday, March 18. It's slated for nine episodes, and the first episode is a special running for 100 minutes (which they did for Ten , too). Taking place in a future Korea, Kim Heuk-chul is the middle child and second son of Kim Hoon (Sohn Byung-ho) who is currently the mayor. On the outside, his father is a generous and wise politician, but on the inside, he is a cold and ruthless man. His older brother Kim Myung-chul (Choi Chul-ho) is a prosecutor and the capable son in the family who is willing to walk the dirty road to keep his father in power and to satisfy his own greed. Heuk-chul is his father's Achilles's heel, always drinking and surrounding himself with scandals. He is sent away to America for three years, but when he comes back, he gets entangled with Yoon ...

The Perfect Game

Here are posters and trailers from the movie The Perfect Game starring Jo Seung-woo and Yang Dong-geun. The movie is about two korean legendary pitchers Choi Dong-won played by Jo Seung-woo and Sun Dong-yeol played by Yang Dong-geun. Choi Dong-won is Lotte's pitcher who has dedicated his sweat and blood to become Korea's number one. Sun Dong-yeol is the new, rising star from Haitai quickly catching up to and challenging Choi for his title. Though they were senior and junior, the world viewed them as rivals. In a game where the whole country was watching and only winning mattered, Choi Dong-won and Sun Dong-yeol stand on the mound and face each other head-to-head... Epic. I have a soft-spot for things sports related. The sweat, the blood, the tears, the brotherhood, the underdogs, and all the other goodies that sports movies can use, I'm pretty easily pleased. Plus, this movie has Yang Dong-geun and I have a soft-spot for him, too. Oh my, a dou...
