Disney+‘s The Judge from Hell was released on 21 September 2024 and yours truly just completed it. Yes, it took me a long while. There is a reason for it, which I will delve in in the review. Click further for possible spoilers and review…

Another Sunday and another day for me to watch a movie on Netflix. Every year and especially at this time of the year, Hollywood would bring out a bunch of Christmas movies. This year, one of them is Our Little Secret, starring Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding. It is No. 2 in the chart for movies in Singapore. The first one is a horror movie. I am not a fan of that genre. So, the feel-good Christmas movie it is.

On a lovely Sunday, I decided to scroll through Netflix to see what movie I can watch for the day. I chanced upon this movie that was tagged as “Leaving Soon”. As a true crime addict, I did heard of it before from Rotten Mango, hosted by Stephanie Soo. You can watch the episode below on YouTube on the real case of Inhwa Boarding School.
Or if you can’t stomach watching it, you can also listen to the podcast episode below on Spotify.
While the movie was based on a novel called The Crucible written by Gong Ji Young, it was inspired by the above horrific true story.
Before you go any further, a little warning that there’s mentions of child abuse.

This Netflix movie sure comes at the right time when the world is grappling with sexually exploitive videos of women and children. There’s the infamous Nth Room case in South Korea and now the case dubbed as the new Nth room with deepfake photos and videos spreading in Telegram, and the horror of child sex abuse in Malaysia’s charity homes. The world definitely needed this movie because we need a hero like Officer Black Belt.
And here we go…

I’m going to be honest: It’s been a while since I’ve watched an English-language drama that it felt like my brain had to constantly remind myself that this is not a K-drama, why am I surprised that I can understand the language that the characters are speaking without having to read the subtitles.
Anyways…
This is No. 1 in the Top 10 TV shows on Netflix in Singapore currently so why not give it a watch. Watch, I did, in one day, which is a feat considering it can take me days usually to finish a TV show.

I am someone who easily can drop a show, not because I don’t like it – I get spoiled a lot on TikTok. But this show is different – I decided to not let TikTok spoilers stop me from finishing this show and I’m absolutely glad that I made that choice. After finishing this show in one week straight, I can now understand why this show won the hearts of Korean people. It has all the ingredients of a really good K-drama.
Let’s begin…

Right after The Double, I decided to watch this pretty hyped drama that’s been appearing on my social media feeds, taunting me to watch it. So, watched I did and… till now I wonder if I might have wasted my entire Sunday with it.
Let me explain…

This 40-episode costumed Chinese drama sure takes a while for me to complete. I mean, it takes any drama series a while for me to complete even if it’s a “normal” Korean drama of 16 episodes. The reason why I even started to watch this was that one of the OSTs was sung by a member of a K-pop group, NCT Dream. He’s a Chinese member just in case some of you guys got a little confused why a Korean person is singing for a Chinese drama. No, he’s Chinese. Anyways, even though it took me a while to complete, I finally did and did not regret watching this at all. It made me laugh, it made me cry and sometimes it increased my heart blood pressure.

I’m going to be a little bit on a bias side here. I know, I know, it’s probably not good for reviews to go with your bias groups/artistes but this album by NCT Dream shows such an immense growth from the group that debuted with Chewing Gum when they were tiny tots (okay, not tiny tiny but you know, younger-er).
DREAM()SCAPE is NCT Dream’s 5th mini album, which they are deeply involved in, whether it’s song-writing or production. Even the teasers and trailers were borne out of their ideas, notably Renjun.
Click down below for my first impression on their songs in the album. Yes, yes, I just managed to listen to them (being a fan who is also a working adult is tough, y’all).

This is the first work of Song Joong Ki that I’m watching after a whole drama of what he had said about “married actors”. I’m not going to delve much into it except that it sounded very ignorant of the challenges that women in the industry face as well, if not worse, than their male counterparts, like him.
In any case, the trailer looked interesting so here I am. It’s No. 2 in Singapore on Netflix so why not give it a try, right?
Well… big mistake…
