BeetBits: Team Bulldog: Off-Duty Investigation

Image
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...

BeetBits: Hot Stove League

Image
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...

Actor Scope: Kim Seon Ho

Image
Kim Sun Ho or Kim Seon Ho is on the rise recently, and I can see why? I got introduced to him Through "Catch the Ghost". Honestly, I saw "Good Manager" on his portfolio, but I couldn't remember him at all. Probably, because his face was always covered with his hair and glasses, so I just felt that his voice was familiar. Anyway, I started watching "Catch the Ghost" originally because it was a genre I love. Also, I never saw Moon Geun-Young in a mystery before, so I wondered how well she could act in that. Turned out too well! As always I moved from one drama to another, until finally, I have only one show left to watch for him. I even watched him on "2 Days 1 Night Season 4".  Keep on reading for a guide to all Kim Seon-ho's works. Who is Kim Seon Ho?

Abyss ... First Look at a New Korean Drama

Image
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 w...

Clean With Passion starring  Yoon Kyun Sang  and  Kim Yoo Jung  is a romantic comedy Korean drama that is based on a webcomic with the same title published Via  comico.kr . The drama aired on  JTBC  a cable channel in Korea that is well-known for choosing unique scripts. It did not gain very high ratings compared to other dramas. However, I am sure people who did watch the show enjoyed it. For international viewers, this Korean drama is available on  Netflix ,  Viki  and  Viu. Story and Writing The drama starts with a male lead who suffers from OCD and a germ phobia, having a male lead who is not totally "oh charming and handsome" is the charming point of this drama. He owns a cleaning company despite his faults. He is charming and a hard worker, he can sometimes be annoying as well. The drama also has a lot of funny moments where you crack up laughing because the logic behind everything is beyond you. The initial m...
