Girls Incarcerated: Young and Locked Up (2018)
Sad girls trapped in a terrible system
These poor girls. I see other reviews going off about the girls language and disrespect. Well, what do you expect when you put 20(?) traumatized girls in the same room day in and day out with little-to-no privacy, guards who know very little about deescalating conflict, lack of addressing their very serious and gruesome trauma, an outdated silly form of "discipline" and point systems, to name a few? A fourteen year old girl with anger management issues and you expect her to behave like a normal kid? And you lock her up in this institution? I have no words for how sick this is. This is not only trauma and poverty social porn, but also yet another insight on everything wrong about the American prison system. An interesting watch if you look beyond the drama and foul language.
Cutie Pie (2022)
Stereotypical female character played by a man?
This is yet another BL drama which heavily features all the stereotypical female in the relationship tropes. Emotionally cold and borderline abusive "boy" love interest and a weak, useless "girl" played by a male actor. I guess it could be compared to Fifty shades of gray or Twilight in that sense.
Raketsonyeondan (2021)
Cute drama
A very cute and charming drama. As someone who's been watching western films and shows portray Soviets, Russians, Arabs, Gypsies and what not in a very bad light, I'd say the few comments in ep. 5 were nothing. A bit offensive, yes, but nothing to go crazy over. People reacting so negatively towards this can't have payed much attention to how the media portrays different nationalities and ethnicities. I.
Tre nøtter til Askepott (2021)
Average at best
Unfortunately this movie adds nothing to the original except a few forced modern additions like a kiss between two men and an black and white moral which turns out to not really be that modern or feminist after all. Imagine managing to make the 2021 female character less feminist than the original while trying to do the opposite? Little to no character development, bland soundtrack and costumes, the humor from the original is nowhere to be found.
The movie is despite this overall probably an enjoyable movie for kids.
Saikojiman Gwaenchanha (2020)
Masterpiece
The acting in this series is out of this world. The character development is perfect and realistic. Beautiful cinematography. Amazing supporting characters. If I was to look for a weakness it would have to be that the plot might be a little bit too complicated. The characters and acting alone could carry this show and some conflicts are unnecessary. Overall it is the best show I've ever watched. It is very close to perfect.
