Extreme Job is a movie that features a somewhat average plot, but turns it into a fantastic experience. I got into it with little to no expectations, but I was blown away by how amazing it was.

The story is pretty basic: we've got a group of cops who are trying their best to catch bad guys. However, there's the fried chicken twist and it keeps it all fresh. The action scenes are exciting, well shot and awesomely choreographed.

The soundtrack was enjoyable and funny, but it's nothing special. It added to the atmosphere quite a bit, though.

I was entertained throughout the entire ~2 hours of runtime. The pacing was excellent and the characters were all eccentric but real and lovable people. Honestly the best thing in this movie was the cast - I absolutely loved it, they totally owned the characters and this is what REALLY made this a great experience.

I haven't rewatched Extreme Job yet, but I'll be sure to. Recommended to everyone who's tired of crying their heart out at depressing movies - you'll be crying tears of laughter this time.

I've been really hesitant about watching As One – I, for one, am not a fan of overly dramatic movies.

But As One did not let me down. Although I had heard the story of Hyun Jung-hwa and Li Bun-hui prior to watching the movie, I loved the suspense. The acting was top-notch from both the leading actresses and the supporting cast. It made my heart ache, though, knowing Hyun and Li didn't get the real reunion later that they much deserved.

The story is simple and linear, but very true to what really happened.

The one thing I disliked about As One was the soundtrack – it felt lacking to me, the composers didn't quite understand the unique bond Hyun and Li shared.


I recommend As One to everyone who's curious about the North-South relationship because this movie portrays it well. Prepare a few tissues, though.
