Talk K Dramas with Bruce and Alice

Spoiler Alert: If you watch enough police dramas the plot is fairly predictable, but the chemistry between Ji Woo (female protagonist) and Mu Jin (leader of criminal organization) is off the charts. Bruce especially appreciated how they adapted Ji Woo's fighting style to make it gritty, intense, and most important, realistic.

Spoiler Alert: An ensemble of characters try to survive a monster apocalypse. Although Bruce felt it was lacking in plot, he enjoyed the visuals and the chemistry between Ji Soo (band girl) and Jae Hyeon (preacher/sword fighter). Also, the resident badasses, Yi Kyung (firefighter) and Sang Wook (enforcer) were fun to watch throughout the series.

We need a break! Alice is going to school to become a teacher. Bruce is coaching freshman football and his daughter, Alana, in basketball. We will see you the first of September :)

SPOILER ALERT! Listen as Bruce breaks down the overall storylines of All Of Us Are Dead. This is an amazingly well-written and acted high school zombie movie. Loved how these zombies were much harder to kill than any other zombie and how they were a social critique on bullying. No character is safe in this movie! Some of the deaths are truly heartbreaking. I am still sorting out my feelings on how the zombies adapted but this one seems to be headed towards a second season so they will have to clean up some loose ends in the writing. Overall a must-watch if you are into the zombie genre!

Movie review with SPOILERS! I watched this and was spellbound with how this short series (6 episodes) challenges the institution of religion. This series starts with "demons" chasing down someone and pummeling them to death. We later find out that each person that meets this fate had a previous vision predicting their death and more importantly, that they will be sent to hell. The bulk of the storyline focuses on how a new religion, the New Truth, forms from these events, the creation of doctrine, and what this organization will do in order to protect its "truths".

Movie review with SPOILERS! Any movie that can make Alice and I both laugh and cry is worth watching, and this movie did exactly that! Miss Granny is about a 74-year-old woman that is magically transformed to look like her 20-year-old self, but she still has all of her memories and abilities. Alice loved Na Moon Hee (Dear My Friends) as the older woman and Kyung Shim (Sunny) absolutely killed the role of the young Oh Do Ri. The cameo of Kim Soo Hyun (It's Ok To Not Be Ok, My Love from the Star) is priceless :) Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Z7IVvidEaio
