Actor Scope: Choi Won Young

Image
I don't think I saw one of these anywhere on the internet. Usually, when people speak about " Hello Monster", they mention Seo In Guk or Park Bo Gum, and if they talk about "Doctor Prisoner", they say Nam Gong Min. For some reason, Choi Won Young is not considered a first-tier actor, or usually, he is not the one people stan. It is weird though his acting could rival and maybe even surpass other famous actors. He is not a typical Rom-Com actor, maybe that's why he is not as popular as Nam Gong Min for example.  Anyway, being a fan of this guy and his acting methods, I had to plan an article with my favourite dramas for him. So here is a review of Choi Won Young top dramas. 1. Hello Monster Starring Seo In Guk, Jang Nara and Park Bo Gum, this drama is a stunning jewel amidst the dramas of its time. 2015 when this drama was produced, it was a genre that was not highly popular amongst international and national viewers, a suspense slow-burn drama with a protago...

Beetbits:These Three Netflix Series are Binge-Worthy

Image
Did I get that correct "Binge-Worthy"? Anyway, as the COVID-19 lockdown continues all over the world, I believe this is the ultimate time to catch up on that long list of planned to watch series. Luckily, Netflix has most of the series on my planned to watch list. 1. The Secret Life Of My Secretary "As a disaster befalls the manager of a big company, his secretary learns his secret by chance and love ensues " This drama is a typical rom-com drama that, for once, does not overuse the concept of a pitiful, poor secretary and a rich manager. While the heroine is not the brightest or the strongest, her character development throughout this series is very solid and enjoyable to watch, especially, as she moves forward playing two characters that are not similar at all. The series starring Kim Young-Kwang, Jin Ki-Joo, Kim Jae-Kyung and Koo Ja-Sung started with a similar vibe of a Rich Man Poor Woman series ; but moved forward to grab the attention as uniqu...

BeetBits: Angel's Last Mission: Love

Image
One of the gems that I found out about too late this year is Kim Myung Soo's drama " Angel's Last Mission: Love". This drama had me confused, sad, happy, and irritated at the same time. I noticed that I recently use the word "unique" a lot, so I searched for an alternative to describe this drama, and I found just the perfect word, unparalleled. This drama is unparalleled; you won't ever find something similar to it anywhere. I will try to bring you closer to how I view this masterpiece through a proper analysis of what makes this different.  The Story and the Actors Story-wise this drama has just the correct amount of drama, comedy and philosophy. The story revolves around a love story between a celestial being " An angel" and a ballerina. Myung Soo plays the role of the angel assigned to a ballerina who hates the world to bring some love to her world. He is portrayed as a mischievous angel in need of some discipline; thus, he gets ...

Well, I have decided to strike while the iron is hot. Basically, I only started watching dramas for this guy a week ago, and I already completed a bunch of his work. It is the holiday season soon, and I had extra vacation days to contribute to my week of binging. I was surprised by the age of this young actor as well as his acting abilities.

BeetBit Review: A Little Thing Called First Love

Image
Hello Again, It's been a while! So today, I decided to review one of the latest Chinese dramas available on Netflix. This was recommended to me by Netflix upon its arrival. Since it was still airing, I put it on hold till the airing period ended, and now I am finally done with it. *Spoilers Ahead* The Actors and Cast A Little Thing Called First Love is a day to day slice of life drama that discusses the modest but astonishing trip of a group of youth through both high school and university. While from the beginning of the drama, the focus on the female lead (Xia Miao Miao) is undeniable, the rest of the cast in this drama are just as astonishing. Personally, I tend to believe that slice of life dramas are the hardest to both write and act. It is not easy to make people interested in merely watching similar people living a normal unadventurous life with regular day to day situations. The actors in the drama, though, managed to make the slice of life genre as eye-catching a...
