Firefighters - The Story of A South Korean Group of Fire Fighters Based on True Events

There were few new films released in Indonesian cinemas last week but my wife and I decided to only see this one on Saturday due to various reasons. It was a South Korean movie that I was intrigued to find out, while my wife was interested after seeing the cast list. OK, so here's more on the film.

They consisted of Commander Kang (Yoo Jae-myung - Harbin, The Sound of Magic TV series etc), Captain Jeong (Kwak Do-won - The Golden Holiday, Never Give Up TV series etc), team members that included the kind hearted Yong-tae (Kim Min-jae - The Roundup: Punishment, The Fiery Priest TV series etc), Song Ki-cheol (Lee Joon-hyuk - The Roundup: No Way Out, Vigilante TV series etc) who was dubbed as poster boy due to his good looks, Hyo-jong (Oh Dae-hwan - I, The Executioner, The Tale of Lady Ok TV series etc), rookie Choi Cheol-woong (Joo Won - Carter, My Sassy Girl TV series etc) and several others.

Nosferatu - A Gothic Horror that should Satisfy Fans of Such Genre

I have read about this movie on various news and social media which made me interested in watching. It took a while for the film to be released in Indonesian cinemas, but finally it was available for showing mid of the week. I saw this yesterday without the company of my wife as it was a horror genre that she is not a really fan of. All right, I'll get more to it now.

Despite Ellen's plea for Thomas to stay with her, Thomas still went ahead and leave Ellen staying at the home of his best friend Friedrich (Aaron Taylor-Johnson - Kraven the Hunter, The Wall etc) and his family.

(TV SERIES) The Trauma Code: Heroes On Call Season 1 - A Fast Paced and Entertaining Action Packed Medical Drama Series

I have seen the notification of this new South Korean series released on Netflix more than a week ago, but I was busy finishing other series at that time so I delayed watching it till I was ready. My wife who was interested in the series, got the chance to watch it few days after it was released. And she recommended me to give it a try. So I finally decided to do it on Saturday and finished the day after. Without further ado, here's more on the series.

Brief Story Line

Due to his past experience and capabilities, Dr. Baek was recommended by Minister of Health and Welfare Kang Myeong-hui (Kim Sun-young - Concrete Utopia, A Virtuous Business TV series etc) to be the head of Trauma Center of Hankuk National University Hospital and improve its performance. Although the hospital's Director Dr. Choi (Kim Eui-sung - Taxi Driver TV series, Alienoid etc) was not too keen, he had no choice but to accept this appointment. 

Forbidden Fairytale - An Adult Themed Comedy Movie with Interesting Enough Story

Last weekend, my wife and I were interested to see this new South Korean movie which looked fun. However it was not so easy to do since there were only few cinemas showing the film and most of them played at night. Luckily there was one studio that showed this movie at noon and located not that far from our home so we were able to see this as planned. All right then, let's get on with the movie.

Brief Story Line
