Geomgaek (2020)
Outstanding
It was a surprisingly great movie. Superb cinematography. It contains some awesome fight. As the film progresses, Tae Yul's fight scenes become more and more serious and intense. The sword fighting choreography is majestic and the action scenes are really satisfying. It has some emotional parts, where you het attached to this character and his daughter, who plays very well. Looking forward seeing more movies like these.

Very captive serie
Personally one of the bets series I ever saw: i watched every episode one after another, so captive it was. I saw half of the whole serie: it has very beautiful scenes, the music is simply great woven with the great action scenes and excellent acting: action, emotion, some comics parts are well woven into one and another.
Truly a beautiful modern Chinese masterpiece.

I found this serie very beautiful: high quality and a must see if you love mystery with a sprinkle of romance. As an amateur of Agatha Christie, I really liked this serie but too bad the first season was ending so quick. Awaiting impatiently season 2.
Rupan no Musume (2019)
Fun and relaxing
Loved this serie, which has a comic and romantic side.

Truly a gem I discovered!
Hope there will be more seasons!

Sadly only 2 seasons released.

Death in Paradise (2011)
Modern Agatha Christie like serie
I fell in love with this serie from the first episode. I watched the different seasons, although the inspector changed a few times, they all had enough charisma and an own personality to get use to.

Definitely a must for all crime lovers!
Xia tan Jian Bu Zhi (2020)
Perfect serie
This serie, Ancient Detective, has all the ingredients of detective solving and amazing sword fighting.
I recommend this serie very highly.
Beautiful costumes and environment. Very attractive images.
Douluo Dalu (2018)
Great discovery!
I discovered this anime by hazard, but I loved the first 26 episodes. I wanted to find the second part of it.
The story has great martial combat scenes and the 3D makes it visually great.
The characters are all well thought and have all a specific character. What it misses in the design, don't know if it's due to the 3D, are the small face mimics of the characters. The story is great and I look forward to see the follow up of these 26 episodes.
Well done and glad I found this serie!
Jin yi zhi xia (2019)
Great serie!
Still watching this serie and love it!
Besides the flying wires which are used from time to time, it has great fight scenes. The characters are great although sometimes a little bit exaggerating in the expression of the lead, Yuan.
Nevertheless, looking forward to see the complete serie!
Yeokmo - Banranui sidae (2017)
Great discovery!
I loved the story and the fight scenes are awesome.
There are some minor things like Lee In-Jwa, who fought well in the prison but the last action was in my opinion not credible, as if he didn't have fighting abilities.
Overall an action movie to discover!
Bimilui Soop (2017)
Congrats for this intense serie from begin till the end!
From the first episode it was an absolute intense TV show from begin till the end.
The characters played greatly, but the main character is terrific.
Looking more than forward to the second season!
The Warrior's Way (2010)
Great sword fight-western type movie!
Loved the characters and the way the story has been build. Great mix between action, visual effects ( I liked the killing, reminded me of some video games ), humour and great gun actions.
Some scenes are a little bit surrealistic but overall a movie to watch!
Attrition (2018)
Not Wing Chun
I loved his early years movies, especially Nico. But this movie where he displays wing chun is not what i liked. The movie has something but i couldn't adapt to his martial arts display other than Aikido :-(
Baramgwa hamjje sarajida (2012)
