Stumbling upon a movie like Lake Mungo can be an intriguing experience. Released in 2008, this film straddles the line between documentary and mockumentary, creating a narrative that challenges our perception of reality and fiction. While it may not cater to those seeking heart-pounding scares, Lake Mungo offers a distinctive, albeit understated, approach to the horror genre that’s worth a closer look.

This Korean drama is peculiar. It begins with a premise that serves as the protagonists’ driving force, but what ultimately develops is the tale of their journey and the people they encounter along the way. How the people affect and transform one another along the way is less important than the alien abduction. The two main characters have good chemistry, and as usual, a goofy cast of side characters adds comic relief. The tone is intriguing because it can be playful at moments and extremely dark at others. Worthwhile, and if there is a second season, I would watch it.

Bullying in high school is a theme that appears in the majority of Korean dramas. I wonder if the topic is deeply ingrained in the culture because it appears so frequently, but it’s possible that they are more willing to address issues in ways that American media will not.
The abuse itself is less the focus of this tale than is vengeance. The main character meticulously plans her revenge for decades against her tormentors, who have all turned into miserable adults in their own right. Because her targets are so incredibly awful, her actions never appear unjustified. Only those who are close to her abusers earn any sympathy.
Part 2 begins on Netflix in March 2023.
Oh boy, part 2 trailer is out
After a failed science experiment, a local high school is overrun with zombies, and the trapped students struggle to survive. With no food or water, and communication cut-off by the government, they must use equipment around the school to protect themselves in the midst of a battleground or they will become part of the infected.
Another enjoyable entry in the media’s never-ending zombie apocalypse. It appears to have been a difficult shoot with an excellent cast.

I didn’t intend to talk about my fondness of Korean dramas on this website, but I suppose it won’t hurt to mention for promotional purposes. Additionally, Bae Doona, one of my favorite Korean actors, is in this one. It includes 2 excellent seasons that serve as fine examples of the genre at its best.
Mamamoo members recently covered each other’s solo songs at MY CON; categorize this under “means nothing to those who don’t know and means everything to those who do.” I cannot pick favorites with Mamamoo, but Hwasa singing Eclipse made my day.
