Who ya already miss each actress Moon Ga Young? Yes, after finishing the drama "True Beauty" in February 2021, Moon Ga Young hasn't made a comeback through any drama or film.


But the offer for his latest project did blow in the virtual world. Even before the end of the drama "True Beauty" to be precise in January 2021, Moon Ga Young is rumored to be the main character in the drama "Link." Then not long after, the news was confirmed by the agency that oversees Moon Ga Young.

Initially this offer was given to Kim Seon Ho . But the actor reportedly turned down this role for a reason.


This December finally drakor "Link" got clarity. First, this drama will change its title to "Link: Eat, Love & Kill." Second, the male lead finally fell into the hands of Yeo Jin Goo. That means, this is Moon Ga Young's first time acting opposite Yeo Jin Goo.

He also killed Kazi who was his father's right-hand man and he even had a direct confrontation with Kingpin who was his boss. This episode may be the initial story of Maya's transformation into a superhero with the name Echo.


Eleanor Bishop's Fate


After various criminal mysteries continue to roll from the first episode to the fifth episode, we finally know that the main criminal in this series is Eleanor Bishop, the mother of Kate Bishop. He is one of the partners of Kingpin.


Eleanor herself killed Armand, asked Yelena to kill Clint Barton, conspired with Kingpin and framed Jack aka Swordsman for all the crimes he did. At the end of the story, Eleanor was arrested by the police on charges of murder. Yes in the end, the MCU outwit us. Jack is not a villain. He was good from the start!


Yelena Belova and Clint Barton


One of the most emotional moments in the finale episode is the fight between Yelena and Hawkeye. In the fight, Yelena tried to kill and almost won and took revenge for the death of Natasha. But everything changes after Hawkeye learns a secret whistle that only Natasha and Yelena know.


In the end, the Black Widow's sister wanted to hear Hawkeye's version of the story of Natasha Romanoff's death. Yelena then left without a word after hearing the story. Yelena's silent departure raises questions. Will he go after Madame HYDRA? Because, he was the one who said that Clint killed Natasha Romanoff.


Mysterious Clock


The final mystery revealed in the final episode of Hawkeye is the mysterious clock. Clint managed to get the watch. Surprisingly enough, on the back of the watch there is a SHIELD logo. The watch seems to belong to Laura Barton, the wife of Clint who is a former SHIELD agent. This is an interesting easter egg which is certainly nice to see again.


So that's the story and the ending of the first season of the Hawkeye series . What do you think Popins? Are you satisfied with the conclusion and resolution of the conflicts that occurred in the Hawkeye series episode 6? What is the score for this Hawkeye series ? Let's write your opinion in the comments column~

The Devil All The Time Movie Review: A Rich and Flowing Story

 The coronavirus pandemic has paralyzed the film industry. Many festival films and blockbuster films have been delayed due to the spread of this dangerous virus. However, some studios, such as Netflix, ventured to release their films. One of the Netflix films that Popculture.id will review is The Devil All The Time .


Film The Devil All The Time is the psychological genre movie directed by Antonio Campos. This film is adapted from the novel of the same name written by Donald Ray Pollock who is the narrator in this film. So, instead of lingering, let's go straight to the review of The Devil All The Time below!


Story Plot


The Devil All Time is a film that tells the story of several individuals in the state of West Virginia, America who happen to have an attachment to each other. This film is presented in a narrative manner with a back and forth plot.


The story begins with the character Williard Russel who has a post-World War II trauma after he saw his own friend being crucified by the Japanese army. He returned home with a whole body, even though his soul was fragile. Long story short he married and had a family and children.


Unlike the title, from the start, this film tells a portrait of a suburban American society who strongly believes in Christianity and blindly believes what the priest says. In fact, this film clearly shows people who are religiously drunk so they are willing to do bad things to their fellow human beings.


The advantages of The Devil All The Time

For those of you who like mystery films and serial killers , then you shouldn't miss this film. There are many cool things in this film. One of them is the story details and suspense that can always make you nervous.


This message beautifully creates conflict after conflict that is subtle but is able to make the audience widen. All stories are related and produce a very touching ending. This film doesn't try to be pretentious or hide meaning, all the stories are very clear and easy to digest.


Characters and Actors


Besides being easy to digest and presenting unusual conflicts, the film The Devil All The Time is also filled with star actors. The film stars Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgard, Sebastian Stan and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland.


In my opinion, all the actors who star in this film are so total. All the actors played well without any one standing out. The film is also very important for blockbuster actor Tom Holland and Twilight Saga superstar Robert Pattinson. The reason is for these two people there is a character that has stuck.


I think this film is one of Robert Pattinson's cool performances as 'the bad guy' after Waiting For Barbarians. In addition, The Devil All The Time is also a starting point for Tom Holland's career to get out of the figure of Peter Parker.


Conclusion

Film The Devil All The Time is a film that shows the worst side of human beings. This film also shows how religion can become the opium of a society. We can learn many things from this film. One of the meanings of this film is that religion should be a good thing if it is used properly but can be a bad thing if it is perverted.


Apart from that, The Devil All The Time managed to reconstruct the life of the American suburban society who are fanatical about religion. In addition, this film also shows how the law should not move and work in remote places in America. Murder is very likely to happen to anyone and at any time.


Finally, The Devil All The Time is a successful film presenting a story full of mystery, bloody but not excessive. The story is easy to digest with a beautiful storytelling

First Impression Watching The Book of Boba Fett Series. Make me curious

 After the second season of The Mandalorian series , Star Wars fans were curious about the spin-off project of the series. As we know, the series will tell the story of one of the bounty hunters as well as the legendary character Boba Fett. After a long wait, fans can finally watch The Book of Boba Fett series on December 29, 2021 yesterday.


This series is certainly eagerly awaited by many Star Wars fans . Not without reason, Boba Fett is one of the strongest Mandalorian whose figure has appeared in the first Star Wars film itself. So, for those of you who may have doubts or haven't watched it, Popculture.id will give you the first impression after watching The Book of Boba Fett series . Let's just read in full below!


Sarlacc Pitt or Boba Fett's Past


One of the things that fans look forward to the most from The Book of Boba Fett series is his fate and past before he returns to getting armor in the second season of The Mandalorian series . If you refer to the Star Wars timeline , Boba Fett is trapped in the Sarlacc Pitt and is considered dead. But he can prove himself to survive and live.


This first episode focuses on the aftermath of Boba Fett being trapped in the Sarlacc Pitt. We finally see how Boba Fett processes his way out of the creature's stomach and back to the surface. The depiction of this scene is very interesting considering its occurrence is so iconic in the Star Wars saga .


This first episode also uses a back and forth plot where we see Boba Fett's past as well as the present. So while continuing to explore the mysterious figure of Boba Fett, there is also a story of how Boba Fett adapted to the planet Tatooine


Actions That Are Enough to Make Hype


Star Wars without action scenes is nothingness. Luckily, in this first episode we can see some action scenes from Boba Fett and also Fennec the master assassin. There are some interesting action scenes from Boba Fett against the Tusken Raider tribe. He even earned the respect of the indigenous tribes of the planet Tatooine after he defeated the four-armed monster.


In addition there is also a fight between Boba and Fennec who work together. Boba who was walking in the city then got ambushed by a number of people from a mysterious group. From there we can see the action of jumping jumps, punches, laser shots and also rockets that come out of Boba Fett's hands. This scene is enough to treat the fans' longing for Star Wars- style battles .


Makes Curious Because of the Fresh Storyline


Finally, the impression we get from this series is promising. Why? There are several reasons that explain this. First, of course, is the figure of Boba Fett as the main character. Then there's the matter of the iconic Tatooine setting. During the course of the saga, we rarely see the cities of the planet Tattoine up close. The series will probably focus on this planet only.


In addition, the story about the life of a crime lord and how he controls his power is quite fresh. Yes, I think we've seen enough stories about mercenaries from The Bad Batch series or stories about jedi and bounty hunters . The appearance of the story of the crime lord is certainly very promising. Moreover, the person who became the crime lord is Boba Fett. Oh, I can't wait for the next episodes~


So that's Popculture.id's first impression after watching The Book of Boba Fett series . What do you think Popins? Are you interested in watching this series? One thing is for sure, this series, starring Tamuera Morrison, is indeed very promising and really worthy of your participation.

Peninsula Film Review: Too bad the dramatization was forced

 With the corona pandemic, we don't have many films to enjoy. Even so, 2020 is the year for Korean cinema after Parasite won the Oscar. This time Popculture.id will review the latest Korean film titled Peninsula


For those of you who haven't, Peninsula is a continuation of the 2016 film, Train to Busan . We are lucky enough, in this 'virus' year, there is a zombie-themed film that is shown through streaming channels. In contrast to Train to Busan, which received a lot of praise, this time the Peninsula film review might be a little 'spicy'. Anyone who has watched it will know why.


Plot

Before discussing further, the film Peninsula itself tells the story of a group of refugees from Korea who settle in Hong Kong and return to their original place which has changed its name to Peninsula. This group of people is tasked with retrieving some of the money left on a zombie-infested Peninsula.


Hoping for the task to be completed quickly, they are stuck for a few days on the Peninsula because of the actions of the natives. In addition to having to avoid zombies, the main character in this film also has to deal with a group of people who have been good at and adapted to zombies. War broke out and a struggle for money ensued. Who would have thought that the people on the Peninsula who had adapted would actually want to get out of this hell.


Entertaining Movies


Even though you have read this review, you should watch this film with a positive mind. Although Peninsula received poor marks on some critical channels, it's actually quite a fun movie to watch. Just like other action films, Peninsula has succeeded in building the atmosphere of battle and fierce conflict between its characters.


These include the post apocalyptic technologies of the Peninsula dwellers and the human vs zombie entertainment provided by the militarists of the Peninsula. While watching, you will be reminded of the cars in the Mad Max movie or the zombie fighting arena in The Walking Dead series . The issue of racism raised in this film also has a sufficient portion. Affirming that Peninsula is not made just for entertainment.


Annoying Dialogue


When it comes to shortcomings, the thing that is lacking in this film is the dialogue. This film presents a mixed dialogue of three languages. First Korean, then Chinese (Hong Kong) and English.


I don't have a problem when some characters are in Chinese. But when they use English, my comfort is disturbed. Not demeaning the actors who play, in fact the use of language can be uniform if it feels difficult. If you don't believe me you can watch the film and listen to the actors talk using English dialogue that sounds like Google Translate.


Pretentious Dramatization


I understand very well that Peninsula is a continuation of the movie Train To Busan . Because it considers the formula in the first film to be successful, this film again uses a variety of dramatizations in every scene. The climax of all the dramatization is at the end of the story, when the main characters are about to leave the Peninsula.


The formula for dramatization a la Train to Busan clearly fails in this film. Why? Because the characters in this film are not helpless people like in the movie Train to Busan . Almost all of the characters in this film have strong survival instincts, skills to use firearms to god-level driving skills.


As a result, the dramatization at the end of the story becomes bland and pretentious. How can we feel emotion and sadness if previously we saw the main characters driving cars like Vin Diesel and shooting guns like John Wick?

Wonder Woman 1984 Film Review: Not Just Disappointing

 Since two weeks ago, cinemas throughout Indonesia have been full of Gal Gadot fans . Because today the movie Wonder Woman 1984 is being shown. So for those of you who haven't watched it, Popculture.id will review the Wonder Woman 1984 film so you have a little idea.


Unfortunately today's review of Wonder Woman 1984 will be a little spicy. As a fanboy I feel very disappointed. Even more disappointed than you can imagine. There are many odd things and 'what the fuck' moments that made me shake my head and swear throughout this film. Had it not been out of curiosity, I might have gone outside the cinema in the 45th minute.


Story Plot


Film Wonder Woman 1984 is the sequel that actually do not taste the sequel of the first movie was released in 2017 ago. As the title suggests, Wonder Woman 1984 tells the life of Princess Diana in 1984. At that time Diana became a hero who helped the people of the city of DC who were in trouble. The princess also often takes over the duties of the police to eradicate crime.


The story continues on Diana's meeting with the two main villains in this film. They are Cheetah and Maxwell Lord. In this film, Diana does not act alone. He is helped by his dead ex-girlfriend, Steve Trevor. The conflict in this film is quite simple, namely the world is getting more chaotic because Maxwell Lord who grants all people's requests.


More Than Just Disappointing


When viewed from the plot, the movie Wonder Woman 1984 sounds interesting, right? But actually Wonder Woman 1984 is not really worth watching. Many things are disappointing. Starting from a bad script, monotonous cinematography and a background that is not optimal. I'm confused, how can a script and story as bad as this be accepted by a producer.


My disappointment is not without reason. Because the first Wonder Woman film was very, very good. The story is dense with a variety of actions and conflicts that make a dramatic streak at the end of the film. But Wonder Woman 1984 doesn't have that. One of the good things in this film is just the figure of Gal Gadot. How ironic.


Why Wonder Woman 1984 Is Ugly



What are the things that make this film bad? Ok, we will discuss them one by one. The first is about the plot and plot of the story. Unlike the previous film, this film has a long enough duration of 2 hours 30 minutes. Unfortunately the long duration is not maximized. Many plot holes and stories are wasted without any correlation. If anything, the story was hit and miss with the audience.


Wonder Woman 1984 is also pretty devastating for Steve Trevor's character. Steve, who is an American war hero, is the object of jokes in this film. It's not that you can't, it's just that Steve's character has his own inner bond with Wonder Woman fans.


In addition, Wonder Woman 1984 is also filled with a lot of filler. The scenes of Diana flying in the sky to the scene of Maxwell Lord that are repeated at the end of the film really make me tired myself. Moreover, the climax of this film is not a fight, but so wise words about honesty and the world as it is. Not interesting at all!


In addition, the film Wonder Woman 1984 did not succeed in representing the situation that occurred in 1984. There were no elements that stood out at all except the anti-nuclear demonstration. This setting can actually be explored further by highlighting fashion, pop culture and a deeper political situation.


There are also many things that are not clear and require further explanation. Imagine, with a duration of 2 hours and a half there are still many things that are not finished. Like Barbara's transformation into a Cheetah and the power she gains. Apart from that the fight scene between Cheetah and Wonder Woman is quite a treat, even though it ends with a ridiculous and ridiculous ending.


For those of you who want to watch this film, first make sure you are ready to accept anything. Don't expect too much because this film is only special because of Gal Gadot's charm.

Love And Monsters Film Review: Potential To Be Explored

 Today we are back with movie review content. If yesterday Popculture.id wrote a review of the Wonder Woman 1984 film , now we will review the film titled Love And Monsters directed by Michael Matthews, which first aired in October 2020.


Love and Monsters is a fantasy adventure film. Quite different from similar films, Love and Monsters uses a light comedy approach with a touch of romance that is quite thick.


This film stars some big names such as Dylan O'Brien, Jessica Henwick, Michael Rooker, Daniel Ewing and child actress Ariana Greenblatt who looks stunning throughout this film. For some reason I was amazed and very, very entertained after watching this film. I feel much happier than after watching The Devil All The Time or The Trial of the Chicago 7 even though these three films can't actually be compared.


Common Plot With Brilliant Execution


To be honest, the plot of the story carried by the film Love And Monsters is very common. This film is about the adventures of a man who wants to meet his old lover after being separated for 7 years. They are separated because the world is experiencing destruction caused by insects that mutate to become large and threaten humanity.


After the insect mutation, humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. The human population is threatened and drastically reduced. Those who survived survived and lived in underground bunkers, sheltering from the possibility of falling prey to monsters.


After 7 years of hiding humans, a depressed young man named Joel Dawson (Dylan O'Brien) decides to go outside the bunker to meet his old lover. With desperation and love, the young man walks on an earth that has been infested with monsters.


It is undeniable that post-apocalyptic plots like this are commonly used in films and even television series. So, what makes Love and Monsters so amazing?


The short answer I can give is: the execution of the story is solid and not long-winded. This film feels very fitting in many ways. Even the comedy scenes and dialogues really help the main character building. One of my favorite scenes and dialogues in this film is when Joel kills Queen and screams “ I Feel Like Tom Cruise!”


The Importance of Archives for Human Civilization


Congested. Maybe that's the right word to describe the film Love and Monsters . The writing of this film is very detailed and neat, using the view of the cowardly and traumatic main character to further explore the post-apocalypse world and the dangerous creatures that live in it.


This film also uses the hobby of drawing the main character as meaning, triggers conflict and twists throughout the film. From what I have seen, the film Love and Monsters tries to tell us that archiving is very important for human civilization.


It is said that Joel often draws and writes information on various monsters and plants and their characteristics in his small notes. It was this little note that ultimately helped him explore a world that was in ruins. With this note, Joel also helps many people who are still in hiding to dare to get out of the bunker and start a new civilization and defeat the fear of threatening monsters.


Potential To Explore


At the end of the film, we see that everyone who was hiding finally goes outside and goes on a journey to explore a world that has been destroyed. Armed with Joel's notes, each group tries to survive and adapt to the new world.


This final scene also makes me think that the world in Love and Monsters is very wide and has the potential to be explored. There are still many places, creatures and conflicts that can be explored more deeply. It seems like it would be fun to see the humans shoulder to shoulder or even fighting each other to rebuild a civilization that had been destroyed.


Personally, I hope to be able to watch the continuation of Joel's story in Love and Monsters with a note that the production must be consistent and at least have the same quality as the first film. Yes, I hope that the success of this film does not make filmmakers big heads and make film sequels that are haphazard.


So that's the review of the film Love and Monsters . I can honestly say that this film is worthy of being watched by fantasy film fans or film fans in general.
