Hot Young Bloods (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

I just finished another Korean movie after a while, called Hot Young Bloods. It was an extremely cute drama about teens in the 1980's. The plot revolved around Young Sook and Joong Gil. JG was the biggest play-boy in the high school. He had seduced almost all the girls in the school except YS. YS was the school Jjang (gang leader/best fighter), and so JG avoided seducing her (also because a Jjang at another school claimed her to be his girl and threatened JG). YS however, had a huge crush on JG and continuously sought his attention. JG never gave YS a chance, especially as soon as Soo Hee (a beautiful transfer student) showed up. JG follwed SH around and wanted to seduce her. In the meantime, YS was becoming more and more jealous of JG's affections for SH. The rest of the movie revolved around a few revelations that made the plot even deeper. I really like this movie because it showed that there are many sides to stories, and without realizing the truth, you never know what you are missing out on! I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars because it had several surprises. That's it for now.

No Breathing (Korean Movie)

Hey Everyone!

I was not looking for a movie to watch tonight, but somehow came across this new movie. It literally just got posted on a website, and I honestly started it thinking it was a new drama. The cast was star studded, and the movie itself was really cute. The movie was No Breathing, and it was about Woo Sang (Lee Jong Suk) and Won Il (Seo In Guk). The two met when they were children at a swim-meet, but after Won Il won that one match, he never swam again. However, Woo Sang continued to swim and became the national swimmer. Fate suddenly brought both of them together again when Won Il got expelled from his high school and Woo Sang got kicked off the national team. Won Il came in with a bubbly and carefree personality, whereas Woo Sang was very serious about making it to the nationals again (to be on the Olympic team). During their time together, they learned that swimming should be fun and that friendship is just as important as competition. The rest of the movie involved the two mains learning about what swimming means to them. I really liked the movie because I love movies with sports themes (especially since the Sochi Olympics just ended). Anyways, I give this movie at 5 out of 5 stars because it had lots of laughs. I really enjoyed the main cast's acting as well. That's it for now.

I Hear Your Voice

Hey Everyone!

Back-to-back reviews tonight! This is the drama that kept me so busy these past few days. The drama was called I Hear Your Voice. The drama began with Jang Hye Sung being interviewed to become a Public Defender (government appointed defense attorney). During the interview, she told the interviewers a story about her past. It was the story of how she became a witness in a murder case 10 years ago (for Min Joon Gook). During the trial for that murder case, HS admitted to being a witness at a very young age (sadly, the JG was not very pleased, and threatened to kill her and her family when he came out of jail). JG had killed Park Soo Ha's father because he wanted revenge on him. When JG was murdering SH's father, he suddenly got the ability to hear people's voices. During the trial, SH was just a child and that is when he first encountered HS. He was very thankful to her, and searched for her for the past 10 years. He finally found her when she was given the Public Defender position, because she was mentioned in a newspaper article. However, not only SH saw that article, the JG did too (he was getting out of jail soon). During HS's first case, SH finally got to meet HS again (because it was his classmate being defended by HS). This was when HS realized SH's ability to read people's thoughts, so she decided to use his ability in court. At first, HS had no idea who SH was. But, because SH found out that JG was out on parole, he decided to protect HS. When SH encountered JG for the first time after his release, SH started to punch him and almost killed him. That's when HS was called to the police station as his guardian, and so she found out who SH really was. At that time, HS decided to take SH into her home because she was scared that JG would try to kill her. During that time, the two became close, but HS liked her fellow Public Defender, Cha Kwan Woo. DW was a very enthusiastic Public Defender. DW and HS entered the same office at the same time. For a while, even HS's mother was pushing for their relationship. However, when JG was finally brought in for killing someone close to HS, KW was JG's lawyer. KW had no idea the type of man JG was to SH and HS. Before KW could realize, JG was already released. After JG's release, all hell broke loose! SH decided he needed to kill JG to protect HS, but unfortunately, HS got in the way and SH stabbed her! After that incident, SH and JG both disappeared. The rest of the drama revolved around the search for JG and SH. It was a really good drama, but it was definitely emotional! When I first started watching the drama, I thought it was going to be a light hearted and sappy noona-love type of drama. However, even with the first episode, it was a very intense and emotional drama. I really liked it because it had a great storyline. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because it put me on an emotional roller-coaster the whole time! Even the villian played his role very well (sure scared me!). That's it for now.
