Things I have watched lately
Sep. 26th, 2010 12:08 pmOn Thursday, I turned in a paper and several assignments, and immediately collapsed into a brainless puddle of laziness. I decided to watch some dramas.

( Why I didn't like it. )
Jeon Woochi
So after that letdown, I decided to watch something I already knew I liked: the cute, if a little chaotic, movie "Jeon Woochi".
Woochi is a wizard's apprentice living in the Joseon era. Cocky and selfish, he wants to find two mysterious artifacts that will turn him into the greatest wizard who has ever lived. However, this quest gets sidetracked when he ends up entangled in a fight between demons who want to open up the gate to hell, and a trio of Taoist gods. Woochi ends up being transported to 21st century, where the fight continues.
This is one of those movies that it's fun to waste a couple of hours on. It really could have been a mini-series--the story has so much room for expansion--but to be honest, I kind of like the final scene, even though it felt sort of abrupt. It has good production values and there are no characters that I really disliked, although Woochi's companion Chorangyi (a dog in human form) might annoy some.
I recommend this one if you're looking for a bit of fluff. You can download it from the jdramas community on LJ here.
(I should write fanfic.)
