Yeah Yeah Yea ... Tv, of course.
So i've been watching some kdrama's (korean tv) to see if i'm really up for watching their shows vs the ones in america, and ... somewhat yes, but no. I do like the fact that the shows i watch compared to the american ones is that the writing isn't so focused on sex to the point it's in every scene ... it's more witty and humorous (for me), it's not as dry and pushing too hard to make a laughing moment happen or a sad one at the least. The actors they cast for these roles know how to bring out the characters. It's not like for the american shows you don't get these either, it's that sometimes it lacks more than the kdramas (from what i've seen) though they can be 50/50 when something is or isn't interesting to watch. Watch them all! ... well, if you can.
Let's move on ...
2015's HELLO MONSTER/I REMEMBER YOU: I came across this show to see how Seo In-Guk was going to portray this criminal profiler character, Hyun, from the last thing i've seen him in (king of high school .. there was another title), and i enjoyed it. I think he did a good to great (the same, really for me), you start off a a younger version of Hyun with brother Min, and dad, and all, getting into the whole dad thinks he's this evil being, like a monster (duh title) - he's raising one so he literally bunks him in the house ... as if he were the same as his inmate client (which hyun ends up meeting, and they exchange a few words and that's when shit begins as the inmate escapes).
However, lawyer Sun-Ho being played by Park Bo-Gum made my focus shift to him as it had me wondering if he was this person or pretending to be, then later on finding out who he truly was, like dude was always this psychopath at a young age. (is this a spoiler?) He's like super clean and very careful when doing his 'job', but leaving clues for Hyun to catch on. Like letting him know who he is, how he's felt like he was abandoned and given to Joo with this sherlock feel or any mystery feel actually.
The older version, Joon Ho, was a good character, too but i wasn't as focused on him since he was a mortician? so clearly he kills and cleans his masterpiece without a trace, but then Hyun already scenes things throughout each episode of who he actually is as they are neighbors and they tend to run into each other when there's a crime.
With only an episode or two, the younger version of Joon-Young (joon ho) played by Do Kyung-Soo (d.o from exo) was my favorite. Maybe i'm over reacting but he did his character justice, like nailed his little role. I wanted to see more of him, but they clearly needed the story to be more present than past in order to keep everyone interested, i would love to see Kyung Soo is something like this again to watch him fully progress into this 'monster' of a character.
The show was great through and through, i tend to always figure out which character is this and that, but that didn't happen towards the end when things were picking up. There are other characters, but these were the show stealers (if that's a thing). The female lead (only one) is connected to Joon Young/Ho as the rest of them since he is a well known murder who they couldn't turn in because the show turned into a little cat and mouse game at the end!
8 or 9 or 10/10 for the story.
