Miseuteo Shunshain (2018)
Too Long x 2
Like many tv shows it starts off with great potential but falls into the trap of trying to milk every last ounce out of it. It could easily have been done in half the time. With hours spent staring blankly at each other, whispering then wandering off, only to repeat the same scene again, and again, and again. The plot needs to be a lot more fast paced and twice the amount of action. It could have benefited from getting some better quality American actors also as the ones used may as well be made out of wood. It still has several episodes to go so could rescue itself somewhat but now I'm watching out of some sort of obligation with very few enjoyable/interesting moments each episode as it's so strung out. Repeating the same scenes in the same locations....

I was in this movie
Well, no actually I wasn't. Cutting room floor. I was teaching English in Korea at the time and somehow a group of us foreign teachers were asked if we wanted to be extras in a movie, so we said what the heck. We were driven out to the set which was on the same studio lot that the fake Panmunjom set from "JSA" was on. They put us in tuxedo's and we were in the art gallery where the commando's came down through the skylight and machine gunned everybody. Then later in the day they came up to me and said "your scene is now". I was like "huh?" Basically what they had me do was admire a large necklace hanging in a display case and say "it's very beautiful, what is it?" Kinda dumb, I know, but I was just doing what I was told. Then after they filmed it a few times (using a camera on a track which looked through the case from the rear), they told me they needed to get the audio so they could dub it over my lips so to speak. I repeated it several times into the Mic but they kept getting me to do it again and again because the pacing was off. And I guess in the end it just didn't fit, or else was one of those superfluous little scenes that they filmed several of and then decide which ones suit the flow of the scene. My movie career died before it began. :)
