The Kpop Files: The Monthly Kpop Haul #1.1

Aside from my love of tv & film, one of the reasons why I started this blog was to share my passion for my various fandoms with you all, as fandoms have been a huge part of my life, as once I get into a fandom, I hardly let them go. So, because of that, and because I’m delving deeper into being a collector in relation to my fandoms, I decided to launch a new segment on my blog- The Fandom Files.…

TV Review: Clean w/Passion For Now (Spoilers!)

TV Review: Clean w/Passion For Now (Spoilers!)

Mental health representation in various forms of media, although still a work in progress, has definitely come a long way; and the same is true within the realm of Korean dramas. They definitely have gotten a bit better at portraying and tackling mental health issues over the years, regardless of the genre. And thankfully, this is true for JTBC’s “Clean w/Passion for Now”, a romantic comedy based…

Movie Review: Captain Marvel (Spoilers)

Ever since it was announced, fans of both the MARVEL Cinematic Universe (MCU), and fans of the character itself, were eager to see how the studio would be handling not just this character but how t…

It’s been a long time coming, and finally, I can release my review of one of my most anticipated films of the year, which I watched in early March!

TV Review: Children of Nobody (Spoilers!)

One of the unique things about storytelling in any medium is that it can also be a powerful venue and springboard to talk and delve into issues and topics that are important and serious but are too…

A wonderful straight up thriller that tackles serious issues well, that boasts powerful performances, and has VIXX’s N’s/ Cha Hak Yeon’s best performance to date & a great last project for him before his military hiatus (which just started).

Movie Review: Green Book (Spoilers!)

From the moment I watched the trailers of “The Green Book”, I knew that this movie would be something special, and would probably be one of the few Oscar films that I actually made a conscious deci…

A wonderful movie that reminded me of older movies, with performances from Ali and Mortensen that are definitely deserving of their Oscar nominations.

TV Review: Mr. Sunshine (Spoilers!)

Historicals, whether it be a drama or a movie, when done right, are powerful motivators for their audience to learn more and appreciate history. Personally, I do have a soft spot for this genre, bu…

A breathtakingly gorgeous drama with top notch performances, timeless themes, and a very slow-burn draggy middle. However, it's very much worth the watch & does deserve the praise that it got last drama year!

TV Review: Carmen Sandiego (Spoilers!)

During my formative years when I was a child, my mother made sure that most of what I consumed was very kid-friendly, and this also included a lot of edutainment shows that were big in the early &#…

A whole new Carmen Sandiego for a new generation.

TV Review: Familiar Wife (Spoilers!)

Stories that deal with time travel and the innate desire to change one’s past for a seemingly better future is a trope that we’ve seen in stories over and over again. However, no matter…

A well made drama and a great study on what makes a good marriage & relationship work, filled with great characters, and great performances from leads Han Ji Min and Ji Sung.

Movie Review: Mary Poppins Returns (Spoilers!)

As someone who grew up on the original “Mary Poppins”, I was cautiously optimistic about “Mary Poppins Returns”, aside from the fact that I thought that Emily Blunt looked f…

Mary Poppins Returns is a fun and whimsical movie that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Emily Blunt makes this iconic character her own & definitely steals the show.

Movie Review: Bumblebee (Spoilers!)

To be honest, when I first heard that they were making “Bumblebee”, I didn’t want to watch it, given the track record of every “Transformers” movie except for the very…

First movie review of the year! "Bumblebee" is the best yet in the Transformers franchise, and was in good hands with Travis Knight. If they keep this up, the future is bright for a franchise most thought was already done.

TV Review: My Secret Terrius (Spoilers!)

Sometimes, mashing up two genres together, combined with the right talents both acting and the creative department, can give us something new and refreshing. Rom-com meets spy thriller has definite…

Final Kdrama review of the year- My Secret Terrius! A fun rom-com/spy drama that was self-aware, and had engaging characters that drew you in all the way until the end.

Movie Review: Aquaman (Spoilers!)

After the mixed reception that “Justice League” had, many began to anticipate as to how both “Aquaman” and the upcoming “Shazam” would fare, almost as if those t…

Rounding the year out with two reviews! First up- Aquaman! It was a fun ride as it knew what it wanted to be, and a visual feast in terms of worldbuilding. However, the pacing & some characterization does suffer.

Movie Review: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Spoilers!)

When the trailer to this movie first came out, it got my attention because of the unique animation style as it made it feel like as if it was ripped out The of the actual pages of a comic book. Asi…

Merry Christmas, everyone! As a Christmas gift, here’s my review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, a movie that I really enjoyed, and is probably my second best fave Spider-Man movie after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2!
