Abyss ... First Look at a New Korean Drama

-



Abyss, The name alone give you a sci-fi feeling, a different feeling from the story. Netflix aired the first couple of episodes of this series just recently and as an avid follower of Kdramas, I had to watch it. The series starts with the death of the main character. Yes, you read that correctly!. The main character dies suddenly without any explanation in the drama and then he is revived.

 He is revived as a handsome guy who girls fall in love with all the time.  The main actor is a handsome guy, however, the main character isn't? confused ... same here. Park bo young also appears in a similar form, however, in her case, the main character turns into park bo young who is in fact not pretty, from the main character's point of view of course!

Although the drama starts with a death, the fact that the death scene with all its gore turned into something hilarious just seconds later explains exactly what type of drama this is. I believe it will be a unique drama that won't stick to the traditional well-known and expected results of the general mystery context. If anything, the appearance of Seo In-Guk in the first episode is amongst the top un-expected surprises for me. It was nice to see him after so long.

 So far, the drama has more than just one unexpected event. It discusses what it is like to be revived ... however, with a different face. It also discusses a mysterious killer that is hard to understand and so far has no reason to kill. The guy acting as the villian is also a unique actor, he is quite an actor, I remember clearly falling in love with his acting as a father in the sons and as a chef in Jealousy Incarnate. He is different that is for sure. Despite the fact that this drama is new, I believe it will be quite the attention-grabber this season.

BeetBits: Move To Heaven

 Probably the fastest binge ever in my own history of binge-watching. Move To Heaven is a short 10 episode drama produced by Netflix, especially for Kdrama lovers. It explores life and death through the story of the workers at Move To Heaven trauma cleaning agency. From Lee Je Hoon to the newly discovered Tang Joon-Sang, the cast for this drama is more than top-notch.  Trauma Cleaning  Ever heard of trauma cleaning? Personally, I have never heard nor even thought about them. It is weird, they say, "away from the eyes, away from the mind." It is totally true in this case. I have even written about unconventional careers before for a job; surprisingly, this job was not even mentioned anywhere. It is like the whole industry of crime scene cleaning is not exactly recognized by people. After reading a few articles about a trauma cleaner's job, it is a job that requires handling chemical materials that remove the worst type of contamination you can think of. Certainly, a job th

I seriously need to write a list of unpopular Kdramas for 2020. I keep discovering new gems that I should have watched last year.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation This is a 12-episode short series starring Cha Tae Hyun and Lee Sun Bin as the main characters alongside multiple first-rate supporting actors. I especially loved Jung Sang-hoon in here. I always saw him in comedic roles and he was fun to watch but I wanted to see him in a serious role once.  Team Bulldog Off-Duty Investigation Review Team Bulldog is a mystery drama with quirky characters, fun investigations, disgusting murderers, and interesting reporters. You get the whole package in just 12 episodes in this drama. A group of misfits try to solve mysteries that the police themselves cannot solve. With one member a real detective, they are not a totally illegitimate group; therefore, they have access to crime scenes and police resources when needed. The group itself includes a former forensic pathologist, a former profil

BeetBits: Hot Stove League

Korean dramas in 2020 were really top-notch. Despite finishing my fair share of dramas, I am still discovering new gems till now in January. Hot Stove League is one of the dramas I didn't think I would like because I literally know nothing about Baseball. In fact, I am "sports illiterate" in general. However, this is one show that could count as educational, entertaining, and even non-romantic. Still, before starting the drama, it is better if you are not familiar with the rules of baseball to at least read an article before the beginning of this drama. It is not a drama about a high school team, therefore, you won't start the drama with an introduction to the rules of the game. In fact, one of the first meetings in the show included terminologies like WAR (Wins Above Replacements), batting average, etc. Therefore, I recommend you read the following articles before you start.  1. Baseball Rules by Rules of Sports 2. Baseball Positions: All 9 Fielding Positions Explai
