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 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
