BeetBits: I Can Hear Your Voice

-


"I Can Hear Your Voice" starring Lee Jong Suk and Lee Bo Young is a suspense romantic drama with a unique plot. It is the real start for actor Lee Jong Suk as we know him now. The show has quite a different feel from ordinary romantic dramas, and although the actors have a bit of an age difference, they are really compatible.

Actors and Characters:


Lee Bo-young acts as Lawyer Jang Hye-sung, the lawyer who doesn't care. She is a character that is hard to forget. Her character is courageous but at the same time, a scaredy-cat. At first, she appears careless, however, throughout the drama, she changes drastically. Lee Jong-suk, on the other hand, acts Park Soo Ha, a youngster with a sad past. His character is a very complicated character, to say the least, and he does a fantastic job acting as a character with a special power. Jung Woong-in, who acts as Min Joon-gook, is another great actor in this drama. Wanna know what it is like to have a real villain steal the scene, watch this guy act. He really brings things to life. 

Story and Writing:


The plot of this drama can be considered both original and unoriginal. If you are a fan of anime and manga, you'd know that the idea of reading minds was discussed in more than one anime. However, was it ever addressed in a Korean drama? As far as I know, it wasn't. The writer, however, did not try to copy and paste from any anime, so besides the original concept, there is nothing unoriginal about this drama. 

The setting is new, and the characters are original, and so is the villain and his background. Everything is charming in its own way, however, if I have to pick on something for this drama, I have to pick on one mistake by the writer. The writer confused me in some parts as the main guy is only supposed to know the thoughts of people upon looking into their eyes. However, he was able to hear the criminal thinking even through a crowd of people. There is another plot hole in the end, but I would rather not spoil the drama just because of a simple scene. 

Overall Rating 


This drama is definitely worth watching, the actors are excellent, and the writing is terrific as well. It is a 9/10 drama in my own opinion, and to some people, it might even rank higher. You can watch this drama on Netflix, Viki and Viu.

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 j...

Actor Scope: Choi Tae Joon

Tae Joon is one of the actors I believe need more attention from the public. He is not as famous as other actors internationally despite being a great actor with a good resume. He started his career as a child actor. However, he stopped for a bit during puberty and returned as a handsome guy through Padam Padam (2011). He is also a full-round entertainer. I always look around searching for more content for this guy which is why I think this article will be the most prolonged Actor Scope ever for me.  Variety Shows  I can’t mention this guy without mentioning his appearances on Korean variety shows. I got to know him as the  Choi Tae Joon of Hello Counselor  at first so I will start from it.  Hello Counselor  (2010) Tae Joon is probably the only actor to join the cast of this famous Korean variety show. It is a show that receives citizens concerns and tries to solve them through discussions. He first appeared as a regular ...

BeetBits: Good Morning Call

Good Morning Call Cast Taken from a famous manga, "Good Morning Call" is a Netflix Original Japanese drama  starring  Haruka Fukuhara,  Shun'ya Shiraishi,  Dôri Sakurada  and produced by Mayuko Okamoto and Akimitsu Sasaki. The drama started airing on 2016 and currently has two full seasons following the main couple throughout both high school and university. Good Morning Call manga was written by Yue Takasuka and sold more than 5-million copies. Although the manga itself is popular, as a person who never read the manga before, my review will only consist of my opinion on the drama alone, without any comparisons to the manga. On IMDB, the rate for this drama is 7.9, which is extremely high if you count the genre of the drama. Typical rom-com dramas are rarely actually given good rating cuz of the repetitive storyline and the level of acting. Personally, I have stayed away from a lot of the famous live adaptations of mangas that I love, because of h...
