Set in the same «Kang Full Superverse» (Supernatural + Superhero), «The Witch» tells the story of two characters who were originally only side characters in Kang Full's Superverse webtoon series.
It had a great start, and true to his style, don't think you've figured out his plots.

The 2025 Korean supernatural film, «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns»), is the sequel to the 2015 Korean supernatural movie, «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»). However, anyone who wants to start with the sequel has no need to watch the first as «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns») is a standalone movie, and the two are almost identical in plots, twists, and execution.
NOTE: The things written below were made in comparison with the prequel «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»). **¡SPOILER ALERT!** ## The Good 1. They gave the demon more dialogue. 2. The things the demon said are more in line with what's in the Bible, and more direct. 3. They gave the possession more screen time. 4. Less on the supernatural and more on realism. (No silly roaches; no "the demon finally started to use its power after it was caught") 5. Handled well the issue of "medical vs religion" when it comes to demon possession. 6. Brought into focus how skeptics handle witnessing demon possession. 7. Balanced relationship between Roman Catholicism and Korea's Shamanism. ## The Bad 1. Many scenes were a repeat of the scenes in «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»). They could've thought of something more unique. 2. Some dialogues were the same from the prequel. It doesn't have to be the same simply to pay homage to the original. It can be something else altogether since the sequence were the same already, thus the audience already are already aware at that point. 3. They didn't provide a clear background story to the primary character just because she'll sacrifice herself in the end. They should've done so to make the audience attached to her character. Her sacrifice was shallow, "I don't have a choice, I'll die anyway, so I'll die on my own terms and not because of this cancer". Surely, there was a very deep story behind her quick decision to sacrifice herself, it wasn't just because the same demon killed her mother. 4. The secondary character, while she was given a clear background story, they did not give her much to do. She was just an extra. Less than an assistant. While her role was important in the exorcism process, the film itself did not give her justice. Since they planned to let her character survive and join with the Priest from «검은 사제들» («Black Priests»), they should've given her more things to do, say, and screentime. ## The Ugly 1. The ending city sequence was totally unnecessary, especially those rats. It was so weird especially since two streets across everything was business as usual, no rats, nothing unusual. The timing was also weird. They were somewhere on the outskirts of the city, and they had to drive back in the middle of the city to get to a church? It was probably a 30-minute drive. Even if there were no Roman Catholic churches near the hometown of the possessed kid, they didn't have to find a church right in the middle of the city. They even showed the city's skyline and established how the kid's home was not in the city proper. 2. Why did they use the Snake again but different name? It was already the Snake in «검은 사제들» («Black Priests») for one of the twelve major demons, and that one was defeated. The one in «검은 수녀들» («Black Nuns») should've been a different one. Are they all Snakes? Or, trying to avoid the Dragon? If they're not afraid in offending Roman Catholics, then they should not be afraid in offending those who worship the Dragon. That's all. Oh, bonus, the numbers the demon mentioned were not random. However, I'm not sure if the writers intended that or had no idea about it. 😝

An enjoyable adaptation of a popular webtoon of the same name.
A touching story about a family who was affected by a nuclear power plant disaster. The film was inspired by the nuclear power plant disaster in 2011 Japan.

A lighthearted comedy about relationships, kids, and family.
Story: 9 A gorge shrouded in mystery At first it appears as a typical adventure or action story but as the film progress, it is slowly revealed to be about a place shrouded in mystery. The flow kept the audience guessing but only to find out it's totally something unexpected. Visuals: 9 It gave me the feels of Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft It was awesome. I kept wondering where the location was, if it even exists. The special effects and design, most especially at the critical part of the story, were beautifully done. As a gamer, it gave me a sense of the places from Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft. Sound: 8 It was immersive The sound effects were great and perfectly timed. It helped in building the mystery and suspense. It was immersive. Character: 8 Done perfectly The main characters were fit for the story. Ordinary people, or snipers, who only wanted to survive and serve their country. People with special skills but at the end of the day, are no different than everyone else. The character backgrounds were not lacking nor it took too much time, and the rest of the character development brought out the basic need of human beings. Enjoyment: 10 Kept me on my seat I truly enjoyed watching this movie. Being able to bring me into the story, ensuring I don't spend time analyzing the plot, was an experience I rarely have these days. This movie was did that and kept me on my seat.

Don't get confused, «Melo Movie» is a 10-episode series about love from romance to family to friendships, and yes, even break-ups and moving on.
If you're thinking it's just another typical melo story, well, you're wrong. It tackles a lot of topics about love and life, and how different people handle the challenges the world throws at us. It can either remind us of how good it is to feel loved and to love someone, or give us new lessons we haven't gone through that we can use one day. Or, maybe, it's just me because I was able to relate to many of the plots that I've been through one way or another. From a parent-children relationship to how not ending a relationship properly can stop us getting back on our feet. I give it 1000 over 10 stars.

Wow. The wrap-up wasn't rushed. Usually plots like this end up suddenly in the finale episode, leaving you hanging and wondering, "that was it?" But not this one. They even chose to have it an open-ending to let fans formulate their own conclusion (or fanfiction).
10 stars from me!
10 stars from me!
A good closure for the franchise.
«The Loyal Pin» («ปิ่นภักดิ์») reminds me of 80s and early 90s afternoon when all you have to do were listen to radio or watch TV dramas in the afternoons. It's a lovely and relaxing ThaiDrama TV series.
One of the best of the best space scifi TV series of all time.
One of the best of the bests space science fiction of all time.
Definitely not a series to skip for any #Stargate fan.
Wrong decision to cancel this.
A lighthearted life, family, & romance story that will make you fall in-love all over again and see the world in a whole new different light. Highly recommended & inspirational.
