[Seong Chan-eol's Comics] The extreme realism of 'Soohee0 (tngmlek0),' the webtoon that had readers saying, 'This author is clearly obsessed with streaming'

[Seong Chan-eol's Comics] The extreme realism of 'Soohee0 (tngmlek0),' the webtoon that had readers saying, 'This author is clearly obsessed with streaming'

I'm obsessed with subculture. I check out anything with fresh stories, settings, or characters — movies, webtoons, games, comics, animation. Having discovered fandom through comics, I became what I call an "e-adult" — an adult who reads printed comics via e-books and webtoons on my phone. But it's less fun alone. In this recurring column, Seong Chan-eol's Comics, I highlight works that are more enjoyable together from the perspective of a jack-of-all-fandoms — a fan with broad, eclectic tastes.

'The King and the Man' Ten Million Secrets, Outside the Winner's Sentence

'The King and the Man' Ten Million Secrets, Outside the Winner's Sentence

What the movie touches is the outside of the sentences in history books. It imaginatively restores the time when Danjong shone as the most kingly existence for a brief moment.
History is usually left as the sentences of the winners. The lives of the losers are condensed into a few lines of records. Danjong has also been remembered that way. The deposed young king, the exiled boy, the unfortunate monarch who ultimately perished.

[Interview] Son Ye-jin from 'No Other Choice' says,

[Interview] Son Ye-jin from 'No Other Choice' says, "If a character like Mansoo is a woman, I really want to do it"

"Director Park Chan-wook, I really think he is calm"
I did not think of 〈No Other Choice〉 as a melodrama before my interview with Son Ye-jin. However, Son Ye-jin made it clear that what gives the film its persuasive power is the strong love between Mansoo (Lee Byung-hun) and Miri (Son Ye-jin).
