I’m not going to lie – I decided to watch this movie only because of the cast. I’ve loved Ahn Jae Hong in “Be Melodramatic”, I’ve loved Choi Woo Shik in “The Witch”, I’ve loved Park Hae Soo in “Prison Playbook”. The fact that it was supposed to be released on Netflix internationally had been another advantage. Unfortunately, the release was postponed because of some legal issues but finally since 23rd of April we can without any problems watch the piece of decent work that is “Time to Hunt”.

First of all, the story. Plot was quite simple, and the execution was decent. The first half was – at least for me – a little bit draggy. The second one on the other hand was really exciting. It keeps you on the edge and makes you feel anxious. Nevertheless, I think ending could be better – it left me just really frustrated.

If it comes to music and directing - those two aspects are the strong points of “Time to Hunt”. Soundtrack suits this movie perfectly. Directing is great and very artistic. In general, cinematography is extremely well made – the dystopian city is impressive and the colors! Amazing!

The acting was great, especially Park Hae Soo. He didn’t even talk much but still made the biggest impression on me. Pure gold!

Overall, it’s an okay movie. Not a masterpiece but still a really nice and thrilling watch for a night with friends or a can of beer.

Mostly I watch dramas to fill up my free time and feed myself with a dose of romace, comedy or thrill of emotion. This time, for all those 10 hours I've had that weird feelings of unease, pity and anger. But don't get me wrong... These are feeling you definitely should have while watching "Haha ni naru".

This drama is not something easy to watch. We follow the story of a married couple, whose son is kidnapped at the age of 3. Nine years later they find out, that their child is alive and was raised by another woman. Couple have him back but as you probably can tell, it's not easy for anyone to adapt to this situation.

At some points while watching "Haha ni naru" I was screaming with anger. All I was thinking was that I want to get into my TV and punch some of those people in the face. But it's not because drama was bad or actors was awful. It's because it was good enough to make me feel emotions of characters and put myself in their place. Even though I don't really understand some of their choices, what made me sad and angry at the same time.

"Haha ni naru" is really good drama. It's not something you will have fun and lots of laugh with but it's something really worth watching. If only because of excellent Sawajiri Erika and Koike Eiko.

Few months I saw this film's trailer and since then I was waiting first for release and then for English subs. It was supposed to be a thriller and I really love thrillers and mystery plots. Now I can see on MyDramaList that it's changed for horror and after watching it I can say that it is a horror. A good one.

Story is simple. Husband is dead and son is missing. Wife and mother is claimed guilty and send to the prison. After 25 years she came back to house where tragedy happened and tries to find her son, who she thinks was caught by mysterious being hiding in basement.

You have no idea, if she's crazy, if she really kills her husband and what actually happened to her son...
Film, even though it's a horror, for me is a family drama, which shows how powerful is mother's love. You can feel her pain and desperation. It's really sad story with lots of plot twists and unexpected turns. For example, I needed to watch last scenes twice to fully understand it. Acting was really good, even young actors.

It may not be a masterpiece, but it's a film worth watching. Even for people, who don't really like horrors.
It has interesting plot and scenes that sometimes give you chills, good actors and nice music. And Taecyeon being a priest, the only person who actually believes old woman story...

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a huge thriller and suspense dramas fan. For some reason I watched 'Babysitter' just yesteday, even though I've read many good reviews and 7.6 rating looks nice enough for me. I ended it on one evening and I truly love it!

Story we're following while watching 'Babysitter' may sound like a cliché. We have a rich family, which hire a young babysitter. Husband can't resist the temptation and fall for her. Wife finds out about it and starts to plan a revenge. That concept is nothing new.

What stand out in this drama and really suprised me was that the story is told as an retrospection. In second minute we already know, what's going to happen. I know lots of people hate that solution but I loved how it show us the story in a different light. Drama connected with forbidden affair is not as predictable as we might think. There is lots of plot twist, which make you watch all four episodes in a row and regret there is only four of them.

Talking about the characters, 'Babysitter' is showing us, how relative and inconstant relations between people are. A caring and loving husband without thinking involves into an affair, cute and innocent wife turns into woman, who is ruthless and eager to take revenge. I was really impressed how cast showed us emotions that characters contend with.

Last but not least, how beautiful was it make! Scenes are really artistic and well shot, but soundtrack made it even better. It reminded me about drama 'White Christmas' and I wasn't wrong, since both dramas were made by director Kim Yong Soo. And both dramas are worth watching.

'Babysitter' was aired because 'Moorim School' was reduced to 16 episodes, but it shoudn't be neglected. Otherwise, it's really interesting and well made drama. I truly recommend watching it.
