Glittering Facades and Worn-out Wonders: Unpacking Clichés in Korean Dramas
14 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Sadly, this show offers little innovation, relying heavily on the usual tropes of wealth, beauty, and envy that saturate so many Korean dramas. Beyond the visual appeal of its cast, there's little to get excited about. The storytelling disappoints deeply; it recycles the worn-out narrative of a damsel in distress rescued by her resourceful partner, reducing complex characters to mere caricatures. Furthermore, the overused plot twist of amnesia borders on the absurd, undermining any genuine emotional development-first the heroine, then the grandfather. It's a tired device that feels more laughable than impactful. And to top it off, the improbable love triangle, where a man attempts to split up a blissfully married couple, just doesn't resonate with real-life cultural contexts in Asia. It's all quite disillusioning.

Low rating for not supporting JD
2 June 2022
I'm giving a low rating because the production company choose to believe in uncertified & unverified op-eds and fired Johnny Depp. Caring for your deep pockets instead of the truth. While he was still paid, this doesn't make you look any better. Sucks having a Heard mentality, ain't it?

This story is such a waste of time.
15 January 2020
Not sure why big actors want to act in this movie. The plot is dry, there was neither humor nor entertainment value in it. Acting was okay, but didn't do enough to salvage the film.

This movie is probably the worst Kung Fu show, ever!
10 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This review has spoilers but dont worry cause I'm trying to save 2 hours of your life. It's not freaking worth watching, I'll tell you that.

Firstly, the script sucks. No dialog that is of substance. I thought the script writers went on strike or something cause You could practically count hows many times the character spoke in the movie. That's house stingy with words this movie was. It must have been painful to act in this Charlie Chaplin kung fu show, I'll tell you that too.

Then, the movie totally does not have any linkages with the Storm Raiders - I mean where is the palm and kick kung Fu skills that they learned in the first show? no sign of that at all in this movie. Ima

What they have instead is a bunch of dumb sword moves which are so freaking slow with no skill whatsoever - honestly, I feel asleep, AT THE DAMN FINAL FIGHT SCENE!! How i stayed awake that long was nothing short of a miracle.

Then, I don't know where storm and wind got their new squeeze. Those 2 ladies are pretty, and they were there to slow down a freaking movie which was already a damn drag.

There was no continuation whatsoever. You can safely assume that all the guys in the first movie who survived, are dead - for whatever freaking reason you like. All the new characters in here... fell from the sky.

In the first movie, cloud's Kung fu was the cloud palm (cheesy, but I can relate) and wind's kung fu is the windy kick. This show, not only they totally didn't use their existing Kung fu, their new kung fu is called - hold on to something cause you'll might kill yourself falling down laughing - the ba sword move (for cloud). Ba as in ba ba black sheep kinda ba. What a stupid name! Oh and for wind, he's new Kung fu is called the devil in disguise - all you need to do to learn this kung fu us go for a dumb petroleum onsen somewhere in the mountains. What a freaking joke. No practice needed man.

Daring end to a strong franchise.
26 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This movie franchise will probably go down as one of the best ever. It was daring to have less fighting and more dialog, and that paid off. The story also sew together the early parts of the first Captain America well, which gave Cap a fitting exit. And the homage paid to Iron Man sums it all up - his character carried alot of the weight in the Avengers franchise and it was a nice how he exited. For Thor, Doctor Strange, Spider Man and etc also coming out guns blazing, it capped out a wonderful ending. Only thing I thought was lacking was the Hulks influence in fighting scene - which wasn't all that bad - I would have given 10 stars if it had been the case.
