I didn’t expect to laugh this hard while watching a historical drama, but for what its worth, I was practically choking on my drink. Mr. Queen makes you laugh so hard you forget why you were stressed or bored in the first place.

I watched this Korean comedy series recently and I have to admit, I haven’t laughed this much in a very long time. This movie has so many of my favorites Korean actors.

THE PLOT

The story begins with Jang Bong-hwan, a modern day chef who wakes up in the body of a Queen in the Joseon dynasty. Now, he’s trapped in a place full of people who are ready to kill him…or should I say her? He’s the one in control of the body, but he has to talk and act like royalty, while also trying to find out how to get back to the modern era.

And there’s King Cheoljong (Kim Jung-hyun), her royal husband. Between trying to outwit his enemies in the palace while also trying to figure out his wife who acts like she’s on a reality show, lol. What makes him funny is how he struggles to figure out his wife’s strange behavior. When she starts behaving in an uncultured way – cursing, fighting, and causing fights in the royal kitchen.

MY THOUGHTS

What really had me were her food fights in the royal kitchen with the royal chef, and her hilarious dance in the rain, it was one of the moments that captured the show. Watching her scream and curse around in the palace like a local in a royal dress was unforgettable.

Every episode feels like a series of chaos, but it’s fun chaos. Mr. Queen is based on a Chinese Drama ‘Go Princess Go’, but it has a stronger humor with brilliant performances. Mr. Queen is not your typical historical drama. The Queen (Shin Hye-Sun) absolutely steals the show. Watching her vibe switch from royal to that dude energy was ridiculous.

And yes – the actors definitely made the movie funnier than it should have been. Their chemistry was also insane. I mean, a man in a queen’s body falling in love with a king who has no idea what’s going on? Haha.

Can I see the comedic scenes happening in my life? Definitely. Take the rain dance for example. I definitely have danced dramatically in the rain before my friends. Or the scene where she forgets the proper greeting for the royals. Like forgetting how to greet my relatives in my native language.

I’d rate it a 10/10. For what it’s worth, this series was definitely worth my time. It’s weird and wild but it makes perfect sense. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll definitely crave ramen.

Lessons (S01E9)

Airdate: August 4th 2002

Written by: David H. Melnick & Shamit Choksey Directed by: Milčo Mančevski

Running Time: 56 minutes

While the intricate machinery of the Baltimore drug trade forms the undeniable backbone of The Wire, particularly in its seminal first season, the series consistently demonstrates a far more profound ambition. It meticulously situates this trade within a suffocating ecosystem of interconnected economic decay, cultural erosion, and political malfeasance that defines the city itself. The Wire never allows the viewer to mistake the narcotics trade for the sole pathology; rather, it presents it as a violent symptom of deeper, systemic rot. Furthermore, the show possesses a unique genius in illustrating how the toxic after-effects of this trade – the relentless rivalries between criminal factions – can manifest in startlingly unconventional, almost ritualistic, forms. It is precisely within this nuanced exploration that the episode Game Day (written by David H. Melnick and Shamit Choksey) finds its compelling significance, transcending a simple procedural narrative to offer a microcosm of Baltimore's complex, fractured reality.

The episode's title, far from being metaphorical, refers to a grimly established tradition on Baltimore’s mean streets: an annual, high-stakes basketball game pitting teams sponsored by the city's dominant drug organisations. The West Side squad, bankrolled by the formidable Avon Barksdale and his disciplined crew, faces off against the East Side contingent, underwritten by the shrewd and calculating Joseph “Proposition Joe” Stewart (portrayed by Robert F. Chew). This event is not mere recreation; it is a vital piece of social infrastructure, a temporary truce zone where territory disputes are momentarily suspended on the court, reinforcing the drug lords' quasi-legitimate authority within their respective communities. The sheer scale of its impact becomes immediately apparent to Detectives Herc and Carver, perched bewildered on rooftops overlooking the deserted Pit. The thoroughfares lie eerily empty, a phenomenon that baffles them until the spectacle of the game itself dawns upon them. Crucially, this very spectacle, culminating in an East Side victory despite Avon’s recruitment of high-school talent, proves unexpectedly fortuitous for the Lieutenat Daniels' task force. The rare, unguarded gathering provides them with a visual identification of the notoriously elusive Avon Barksdale – a critical piece of evidence Daniels desperately needs. Facing immense political pressure to deliver a major arrest that guarantees conviction, Daniels requires irrefutable proof of Avon’s presence at the scene of his organisation’s operations; the basketball game, an event born of criminal rivalry, inadvertently supplies it.

This fragile moment of relative calm, however, is swiftly shattered by the resumption of the brutal conflict with Omar Little. Ignoring Stringer Bell’s pragmatic calls for a temporary ceasefire to preserve resources and avoid heat, Avon’s obsession with organisational reputation propels him back into the fray. Omar executes another audacious heist, stealing a significant quantity of Barksdale narcotics. Demonstrating his characteristic opportunism, he then delivers the contraband directly to Proposition Joe, trading it not for money, but for the simple yet invaluable commodity of Avon’s cell phone number. Omar uses this intelligence to set a deadly ambush. Yet, the narrative subverts expectations: Avon’s life is spared not by his own cunning, but by the accidental, fortuitous intervention of Wee-Bay, who wounds Omar in the shoulder – a stark irony given Omar had previously shot Wee-Bay. This sequence is pivotal, puncturing the myth of Omar’s invincibility and highlighting the capricious, often accidental, nature of survival on these streets.

Directed with steady, unshowy competence by Milčo Mančevski, Game Day masterfully weaves its central plot with several minor yet deeply consequential subplots. Shardene Innes, devastated by the tragic fate of her colleague Keisha Michaels, is successfully flipped by the detectives, leading her to sever ties with D’Angelo Barksdale. D’Angelo himself, increasingly burdened by conscience, attempts a genuine intervention, urging Wallace to abandon the crew and return to school. Tragically, the money D’Angelo provides Wallace is swiftly consumed by his addiction, rendering the effort futile and foreshadowing Wallace’s grim destiny. Meanwhile, Bubbles, after a darkly comedic misadventure involving a worthless stolen stash and a chance encounter with the pragmatic drug counsellor Walon (Steve Earle), tentatively resolves to seek sobriety – a fragile hope amidst pervasive despair.

The episode also continues to utilise Herc and Carver as the series' primary, albeit grimly ironic, source of comic relief. Temptation to pocket some cash during Wee-Bay’s capture, followed by their panicked attempts to cover the discrepancy when reporting to Daniels, exemplifies their chronic incompetence and moral laxity.

Most significantly, Game Day offers a crucial, implicit deconstruction of the Omar Little mythos. While Omar is presented as a figure who redistributes stolen drugs to addicts (who then act as his informal surveillance network), and who pragmatically collaborates with both police and rival kingpins like Proposition Joe, the episode deliberately strips away any romanticised veneer. His alliance with Joe is purely transactional, born of mutual convenience, not principle. The failed ambush, precipitated by mere chance and resulting in his wounding by the very man he had previously injured, serves as a powerful reminder: Omar Little is not a noble avenger, but a skilled, ruthless operator operating within the same brutal, amoral ecosystem as everyone else. He is vulnerable, fallible, and ultimately just another player in Baltimore’s tragic, cyclical game. Game Day thus transcends its sports-themed title, using the basketball spectacle as a lens to expose the intricate, often contradictory, web of power, survival, and consequence that defines The Wire's unparalleled vision of the American city. It shows how the drug trade is merely one thread in a tapestry of urban dysfunction, where moments of communal ritual can simultaneously serve criminal enterprise, aid law enforcement, and shatter the illusions of its most iconic anti-hero.

Hi movie lovers, I’m daeze-winnie and I’m your host for the movie review for tonight 😂 How did that sound? Amazing right? Yeah, I’m testing my “presenter” skills.

Oh well, I’ll be doing a movie review of the K-drama; Love Next Door.

Honestly I got to learn about this movie when I checked out this lady called Jung So-min. Yeah, I first saw her in Alchemy of souls as Mudeok and I loved her character because she killed the role. Damn!

So I checked her out and then I discovered she was also the female lead I fell in love with in the K-drama-Playful kiss. I then decided to hop on this drama of hers. I plan to watch some other movies she’s featured in though.

Without further ado, let’s get into the review please…

Love Next Door tells the story of Bae Seok-ryu (Jung So-min), a woman who finds herself reconnecting with her childhood friend Choi Seung-hyo (Jung Hae-in) after moving back into her family home. What started as an awkward reunion slowly unfolds into a journey of rediscovery of love, friendship and the quiet bonds that shaped their lives.

What I loved most about the drama was how the story built up so gently yet powerfully. The chemistry between Seok-ryu and Seung-hyo was so undeniable. Like, it felt so warm, natural and beautifully paced. Their friend Jeong Mo-eum brought a playful and charismatic spark to the drama, while the shy journalist Kang Dan-ho had me smiling every time he appeared. (PS. I have a thing for adorable eye candies)

Another unforgettable part of this drama was the friendship between their mothers, Na Mi-sook and Seo Hye-sook. Together with their friends, they were fondly called the Suk Suk Sisters, and later in the movie they rebranded themselves as the Lavender Sisters. Their meetups were always a delight to watch because it was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations and that comforting sense of sisterhood that only true friends can bring. Those moments added so much warmth to the drama and often reminded me of the quiet beauty of my lifelong friendships.

At one point, I got worried about the progression of the story, especially when Seok-ryu kept rejecting Seung-hyo’s proposals. But then, when the deeper revelation of her struggles showed her diagnosis of cancer, her depression and her decision to keep it all hidden. That part touched me deeply because, as adults, we sometimes shield our loved ones from our pain, not wanting to burden them.

From Seung-hyo’s perspective, though, the drama reminded me of something equally important and that is that true love isn’t about shielding others, but about being present for them even in the darkest moments.

In the end, the movie, Love Next Door, left me with warmth and reflection. It wasn’t just a romance filled drama, but it was about friendship, family and the strength of connection through both joy and hardship. A drama that lingers in the heart long after the final episode because honestly, I didn’t want it to end. I’ll gladly rate this movie a 10/10. You definitely need to watch it.

I’ll leave you guys with the trailer.

"Girl Friend" is a ongoing manhwa new chapters are uploaded every wednesday on webtoon. The genre of the manhwa is high school romance, comedy, friends to lovers. In the beginning of the story we see Taeu and Jieun are friends and have a platonic relationship between them. They are currently in the 9th grade and both of them have no interest in each other. Taeu is shorter than Jieun so she doesn't like him and Taeu is always busy with his gaming world so he doesn't think of any love angles.

Later on they got graduated and it was time to join high school. Both of them coincidentally joined the same high school and Taeu was surprised to see Jieun, because she completely changed her appearance. In Taeu's point of view Jieun had gotten beautiful than before and he was mesmerize by her beauty but he didn't say it on her face instead he had shown no interest at all. Taeu also grew taller than Jieun. Suddenly few guys fell on Taeu and there was a handsome guy along them. The name is that guy is Jaehyeon, he had caught the attention of Jieun. On the other hand Taeu was feeling jealous of this situation. Things started to change for Taeu as he started to fall for Jieun and he wanted to move out the new guy and end their platonic friendship to grow it into something else....

The relationship between Taeu and Jieun is gradually evolving and forms the heart of the narrative this is a great thing to keep readers emotionally engaged. The this that captured this webtoon’s charm is their realistic portrayal of young love. Also, the challenges of understanding oneself and others.

Taeu is slowly learning to steer his sentiment and confront his insecurities. To be honest his growth felt very authentic throughout the series, the story really does reflect the real-life struggles which many young people suffers in building meaningful connections. On the other hand Jieun is empathetic and vibrant. Her genuine personality and compassion makes her a relatable character also her interactions with Taeu is much better than expected. To be honest their dynamic captures both the complexity and sweetness of young love.

In my opinion the romance in "Girl Friend" is very impactful. The relationship between Taeu and Jieun’s develops naturally, not very quickly but with meaningful conversations and small gestures which has revealed their growing feelings for each other. Unlike other webtoons stories where you will find the couples are dealing with dramatic misunderstandings or exaggerated tension. But this webtoon is very different from the others because the story mainly focuses on authentic emotional connection. Their moments of liability, fun side, quiet intimacy and everything makes their bond feel relatable and genuine, this truly gives encouragement to the readers to root for them as they navigate the ups and downs of love.

The thing plays an important roles is the Friendship and social interactions in the story. Well, love is shaped by the broader social environment and it does not exist in isolation. Visually, the art style is expressive but I am not a big fan of it, it does perfectly grab the gestures, facial expressions and beautifully designed backgrounds. The soft, less vibrant color palette has enhanced the both introspective and romantic moments. I have laughed a lot when I was reading this webtoon because sometimes the face expressions of Taeu is way too funny and I couldn't focus on staying serious. I think they have done the best part in drawing funny faces which makes the webtoon more enjoyable.

In conclusion, it is really a heartfelt webtoon. Which beautifully portrays friendship, self-discovery and young love. The main leads relationship is authentic and so engaging, this makes the story relatable for readers of all ages. If anyone is looking for a romance related manhwa to read then "Girl Friend" is a good choice because it balances depth, realism and charm. I would say it's an excellent choice.

But I must say this story is not that special because this type of stories are very common I can read many other stories with same plotline but I feel the personality of the characters make it different from the others. If there was something supernatural or some mind bending twists then I would have rated it 10 out of 10 but because it is a normal story I don't feel that it should be getting that much of hype. I do like supernatural stories the most for that reason maybe I am not into simple stories anymore. But still I would recommend people to read this story because it is very simple and slice of life is enjoyable. But I wouldn't read it twice as I have done with webtoon's.

Peacemaker Season 2 came out and this is a first time for me, Im the type of viewer that really dont care if I havent seen the first movie or the previous season of a TV series, in fact I think thats even better because then I get intrigue on how we got there so I decided to give it a try and man I have some mixed feelings about this whole thing, like seriously James Gunn what were you thinking with some of these choices. There is this episode that tries to do way too much at once while also feeling kinda empty in places that matter with the opening scene where Chris wakes up to Eagly pecking at him was cute and all but then we dive straight into this whole multiverse thing with his quantum chamber that his dad left behind, which honestly feels like they are trying too hard to connect everything to the bigger DC universe instead of just letting Peacemaker be its own thing and I hope the Multiverse thing stays just here in Peacemaker and dont try to expand into other movies or series and go the entire MCU style. The whole setup with the alien dude throwing dead animals into a furnace every day is weird but not in the good way its more comedy than superhero related and I get this is a very dark TV series, its all so weird and you can tell the writers are like "we need something quirky here", then Chris discovers this other dimension where his dad and brother, Mutltiverse AGAIN!!!, are still alive and everything is perfect which should be this emotional gut punch moment but it kinda just happens without any real meaning rather than pushing this multiverse narrative.

After the Superman 2025 movie came out there will be more connection within the entire DCEU and they have started with Peacemaker so there is the thing between the old DC movies and the new DCU, sure I get that James Gunn had to fix some stuff but the way they just retconned the Justice League appearance from season one feels lazy as hell, yeah I havent seen Season 1 but that screenshot comparing S01 and S02 says it all, same show with Justice League and then Justice Gang, it seems there is going to be a lot of copy / cut / paste / delete. They literally reshot scenes and changed dialogue to make it the Justice Gang instead which is fine I guess but it makes you wonder what else they are gonna change down the line with he whole previously on segment was clever I will give them that but it also made me miss the original season one ending even more, like why not just embrace the messiness instead of trying to clean it up. Now WTF!!! with that orgy scene, it just felt completely unnecessary and felt like shock value for the sake of shock value, like we get it Chris is lonely and makes bad decisions but did we really need to see all that, plus John Cena promoting coke? wtf, seriously. The scene goes on way too long and adds nothing to his character development, plus it just feels gross considering how they established that he doesn't have many real friends to begin with so where did all these people come from, did he just put an add on Facebook "Orgy Here" with his address and a sign on his front door?.

The new opening dance sequence is another thing that really bothered me, I get it has to be awkward to fit with the rest of the theme, if this was my first time on this series without knowing anything at all about Peacemaker then I would have probably shut it down righ there, there is no excitement, no energy, everyone seems dead and the only cute / cool part is the eagle posing at the end. I went back to check if the opening is a thing for the series and it seems, this time the choreography looks more expensive and polished but sometimes more money doesn't equal better results, the original felt more fun while this one feels like they are trying too hard to top themselves. All the new cast members doing the dance looked awkward as hell and not in the charming way that made the first season so endearing, Frank Grillo and Michael Rooker looked like they would rather be anywhere else, the whole thing about showing Chris with Harcourt in romantic situations during the dance felt premature too since their relationship hasn't even developed that far yet, its like they are spoiling their own story.

To finish on the alternate universe stuff because this is where the episode really lost me even though it had some good moments scattered, the idea of Chris finding a world where his dad isn't a racist monster and his brother is still alive is actually pretty brilliant on paper but the execution felt rushed and shallow. We don't spend enough time in that world to really feel the emotional impact of seeing what his life could have been like, instead we just get this quick tour of his perfect bedroom and a newspaper showing how successful the family is. The fight between the two Peacemkers was decent action wise but it felt inevitable rather than surprising, like of course one of them has to die for the story to move forward. What really bothered me was how quickly our Chris decides to potentially take over this other guys life without thinking about the consequences, like what about all the people who care about that version of him. The whole thing with the other Peacemaker having better gear and being able to fly was cool visually but it also made our Chris look like a chump in comparison.

Hello, Holozing friends.

I really like pairing iconic anime characters with new Holozing friends, so I was inspired by the creations of some kids who have posted their drawings in such a kawaii, or rather, cute way. So I made the famous girl named Candy Candy alongside our friend, Mountain Stoat.

I drew Candy in Holozing's enchanted forest while she was walking happily, as that forest is very refreshing and full of tranquility. Unexpectedly, she crossed paths with Mountain Stoat and took him in her arms. Candy began to sing; then our friend happily petted him.

Hola, amigos de Holozing.

Me gusta mucho juntar personajes emblemáticos del anime con los nuevos amigos de Holozing, así que me inspiré al disfrutar de las creaciones de algunos chicos que han posteado sus dibujos de esta manera tan kawaii, o sea, tan linda, así que hice a la famosa niña llamada Candy Candy junto a nuestro amigo armiño de montaña.

Dibujé a Candy en el bosque encantado de Holozing mientras caminaba muy alegre, ya que ese bosque es muy refrescante y lleno de mucha tranquilidad. De manera inesperada, se cruzó en el camino a Armiño de montaña y lo tomó en sus brazos. Candy comenzó a cantar; entonces nuestro amigo le acariciaba muy alegremente.

Esta película japonesa a pesar de repetir una fórmula me ha entretenido. Para los que sepan un tanto de cine, ya sabrán que la trama es ya algo visto en otros títulos; sin embargo, creo que han logrado darle su propio sabor. Estrenada hace poco en Netflix. Siendo su director Shinji Higuchi.

Despite repeating a formula, this Japanese film entertained me. Those who know a little about cinema will already know that the plot has been seen before in other titles; however, I think they have managed to give it their own flavor. Recently released on Netflix. Directed by Shinji Higuchi.

Sinopsis: En las ajetreadas ciudades de Japón, el tren bala sirve para interconectar velozmente a sus ciudadanos; sin embargo, un día esto se vuelve una pesadilla, pues un terrorista ha avisado de una bomba, que explotará si el tren baja de los 110 km/h. En una carrera contra el desastre, se buscará una solución.

Synopsis: In Japan's busy cities, the bullet train serves to quickly connect its citizens; however, one day this turns into a nightmare when a terrorist warns of a bomb that will explode if the train slows down below 110 km/h. In a race against disaster, a solution must be found.

La trama si bien tiene acción, lo que llama más la atención es la reacción humana a tal suceso. Desde los encargados fuera y dentro del tren, hasta los propios pasajeros. Se buscarán soluciones, se buscarán culpables, y se reacciona de diversas maneras ante un suceso negativo e inesperado.

Although the plot has action, what is most striking is the human reaction to such an event. From those in charge outside and inside the train to the passengers themselves. Solutions are sought, culprits are sought, and people react in different ways to a negative and unexpected event.

Hay un tanto de burocracia en la trama, pero llama la atención los imaginativos planes para salvar a los pasajeros, y como estos pueden fallar o funcionar. Por otro lado, se le da un poco de trasfondo a los personajes, dando mayor historia a los mismos.

There is a bit of bureaucracy in the plot, but what stands out are the imaginative plans to save the passengers and how they can fail or succeed. On the other hand, the characters are given a bit of background, giving them more depth.

Lo que no me convenció fue el villano de la historia, no solo por que no es tan sorpresivo sino por lo irreal que parece. A pesar de ello, no malogra la capacidad de entretener de la cinta. Pues quieres ver cómo se soluciona el gran problema y evita la tragedia.

What didn't convince me was the villain of the story, not only because he's not that surprising, but also because he seems unrealistic. Despite this, it doesn't spoil the film's ability to entertain. You want to see how the big problem is solved and tragedy is avoided.

Si bien hay un cierto protagonista, la verdad es que la película es más bien coral, y da tiempo a varios personajes. La actuación no es lo mejor, le falta fluidez. La música aporta en generar tensión en variados momentos. El despliegue visual es bueno y basto, por mi parte no note mucho el CGI que haya tenido el título.

Although there is a certain protagonist, the truth is that the film is more of an ensemble piece, giving time to several characters. The acting is not the best; it lacks fluidity. The music helps to create tension at various moments. The visuals are good and rough; for my part, I didn't notice much of the CGI used in the film.

Si buscan una película con una premisa entretenida, con un buen despliegue visual y caos humano, puedes darle una oportunidad.

If you're looking for a film with an entertaining premise, good visuals, and human chaos, give it a try.

Hello friends, good vibes to all.

Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.

Verano suele ser una época en donde vemos cosas nuevas y lo de la semana pasada fue una prueba de ello cuando les hablé de Gachiakuta. En esta oportunidad vengo a hacer lo mismo con un shonen que parece estar en la conversación de todos ahora mismo, Tougen Anki ha llegado para mostrarnos la eterna pelea entre los Oni (personas con sangre demoníaca) y los Momotaro (cazadores de Oni). Al ser un anime que van a durar más de 5 meses en emisión dado sus 24 capítulos me está gustando la idea de hacerme una opinión apenas habiendo visto un poco más de la tercera parte (7 episodios) hasta ahora para luego comparar las expectativas de este momento con el final de la temporada.

Como ya dije esta historia se basa en un conflicto que comenzó hace cientos de años entre los Oni y los Momotaro. Los Oni sabiendo de su peligrosidad y de todo lo que podía ocasionar su sangre decidieron vivir apartados de todos y en paz hasta que un día los Momotaro irrumpieron y destruyeron aquella pacificación en la que vivían. A partir de allí más nunca hubo tregua entre ellos al punto en que cada grupo conformó una agencia para así estar más unidos y preparados ante cualquier enfrentamiento que se pueda dar en cualquier momento. A todas estas tenemos a Shiki Ichinose, un joven que se entera que tiene sangre Oni el día en el que su padre es asesinado en manos de un Momotaro.

A partir de ese momento algo en Shiki cambia para siempre y decide unirse a los Oni solo con la finalidad de hacerse más fuerte para buscar al hombre que mató a su padre y cobrar venganza. Esto nos recuerda a algo en especial? - pues si, a la inmensa mayoría de anime shonen que hay por ahí. El objetivo de esta reseña es tratar de dilucidar si este anime puede tener futuro o no y me hago la pregunta porque habiendo visto solo 7 capítulos puedo decir cosas buenas y cosas no tan buenas. El anime es entretenido, si te gusta la acción y las peleas muy llamativas esto es para ti. La trama es super conocida por todos a estas alturas, puede caer en lo generica pero de igual manera creo que siempre hay cabida para la sorpresa. Existe la famosa regla de los primeros 3 episodios: si los ves y no te aburres, sigue viéndolo. Hasta ahora no ha pasado eso conmigo y ya llevo más del doble de capítulos.

Qué es lo que no me ha gustado mucho? - el CGI. No soy nada fanático del CGI y menos cuando se nota mucho y las peleas de este anime todas son bajo este elemento. La animación en si no es tan desastrosa como he leído por ahí pero si que es verdad que en los combates puede que flojee un poco. De todas maneras no dejan de ser muy llamativos porque los poderes que exhiben los protagonistas suelen ser muy interesantes. Grandes anime a lo largo de la historia comenzaron en un nivel muy parecido a este, el mismo Kimetsu no Yaiba es un ejemplo para después despegar y convertirse en la monstruosidad que terminaron siendo.

Source!

Source!

Otra de las cosas super característica de este anime son sus personajes y es que están los típicos. El protagonista, Shiki, es un tonto inexperto que se deja llevar por sus emociones pero que de vez en cuando explota su poder y sorprende a todo el mundo. El profesor de pocas palabras, odioso y que lo que quiere es que todos trabajen en equipo y se lleven bien. Y los demás miembros entre los que destacan el busca pleito que se cree más poderoso que todos, la chica tímida pero que esconde un inmenso poder escondido y el intelectual de lentes que hace gala de su tranquilidad e inteligencia. Las dos mujeres más poderosas están, para sorpresa de nadie, super bien dotadas (esto le puede interesar a @promete0sz 😂) pero es que es imposible no fijarse. Más allá del físico son muy interesantes esos personajes por los poderes que tienen.

En fin, tenemos un anime un poco más de lo mismo pero que tiene mucho potencial. El manhwa tiene como 20 volúmenes por lo que apenas estamos viendo una pequeña parte de su historia. Se que apenas van 7 capítulos y hacerse de una opinión bien formada es complejo pero en líneas generales hasta hora está decente. Por mi lo seguiré viendo y claro está que se los recomiendo a todos. Hay acción drama, más de lo esperado, comedia y mucha sangre, pero en exceso. Si lo estás viendo dejame saber que piensas en los comentarios.

Well, that's all for today, everyone. I hope you enjoyed it. ¡Hugs to everyone, see you next time!

Bueno mi gente por hoy es todo, espero que les haya gustado. ¡Un abrazo a todos, nos leemos en la próxima!

One of my old favorite actor is Eddie Murphy, growing up he was one of my favorite and if possible, I can say I have watched almost all his movies, or movies he appeared in. My dad was a fan of his, so when he is buying any DVD movie, he always include movies of Eddie Murphy collection. I doubt anyone born in the 90s will say they don't know him. He is one of the Hollyhood star, and people loved him.

Today, I will be reviewing one of the movie he acted and even though the movie had a redo of it by Robert Downey who played the role of Iron Man in Avengers, nothing has ever come close to the first and original.

Dr. Dolittle.

Image source

The movie is Dr. Dolittle is a movie that was released in 1998, but trust me, you will love it. The storyline is actually funny when you think of it. It started with little John Dolittle, who as a kid could hear animals talk. Not just barking, meowing or making random sounds, but real conversation like you and I are having.

Of course, in a regular African America home, if a child starts saying he is hearing goats and dogs talking to him, they will drag him straight to church for prayers, and that’s exactly what happened. After he was prayed for, the “gift” or maybe “curse,” depending on how you see it, disappeared.

Fast forward 30 years later, boom! The gift came back out of nowhere, and now as an adult doctor, he has to deal with animals chatting with him like they are neighbors gossiping.

One of the funniest parts of the movie was when Dr. Dolittle was still trying to convince himself that he wasn’t going crazy. Imagine a grown man arguing with a dog in the middle of the night like, who wins that argument? Then there was the scene with the rat and the guinea pig (voiced by Chris Rock, another of my favorite movie actor), always running their mouths and giving Eddie Murphy stress. The guinea pig especially was like that one friend who never keeps quiet but somehow you can’t stop laughing at.

After you finish watching the first part, it didn't end there, there is a second and third part. So after you enjoy the first part, there is always a second and third to laugh your stress away. Image source

What made the movie fun to watch wasn’t just the storyline, but the way Eddie Murphy carried the role. His facial expressions alone could make you laugh, and when you combine that with animals cracking jokes, throwing sarcasm, and literally having arguments with a human, you just can’t stop watching. The chaos of a man trying to live a normal doctor life while monkeys, dogs, and even pigeons keep disturbing him was comedy gold.

It’s one of those movies that never gets old, because the humor was natural and family friendly. You didn’t need to be a kid to enjoy it, and you didn’t need to be an adult either, meaning its a movie you can watch together with anyone, be it family or friends. It has a balance that worked for everyone. And that’s why, even with all the remakes, the Eddie Murphy version will always remain the classic. Yes, I said what I said.

I will rate the movie a classic 9.5/10. I will be keeping the 0.5 to myself. hehehe.
