Sweet Home, The Missing and The Good Detective

Since we slept late, would wait for my nieces to wake up before we continue the Sweet Home series.

So, attended the 7AM live online Christmas Mass.  When the Mass is about to finish, there was an earthquake!  The movement is enough for my nieces to wake up.  It felt like the movement lasted minutes.  Oddly, it seems the earthquake was not being felt by the priest celebrating the Mass.  Thank You, Lord, no one was hurt.  🙏  The epicenter of the earthquake is Batangas.  A few minutes later, there is another earthquake; but, in Mindanao.

Back to our binge watching.

Sweet Home is a South Korean television series based on a webtoon of the same name.  With the death of his family, loner Cha Hyun-soo moves to a new apartment.  Then, strange incidents started to happen in his building as people become monsters in the form of their hidden desire.  Like!  👍  Hoping there is a Season 2.

From Netflix Korea


After we completed the series, my other niece left to be "Santa Claus".

Since what we usually do during Christmas Day, we go to the mall with my "angels" and I treat them for lunch, dinner and the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) movies.  Since this is not possible with the #COVID19 pandemic, decided to watch at least one MMFF movie.  Bought a ticket for the only horror movie entry of the festival, The Missing.

I have yet to be scared by a Filipino-made horror film.  In short, it is not scary.  It also has it flaws.  Irish was offered to do a restoration job in Japan.  A scene shows Irish starting to call using her mobile phone then it was cut showing scenes already in Japan.  Len, inspite of having an amulet bracelet to ward-off bad spirits, was able to see them in one scene.  I would understand if she saw them after her bracelet broke.  Then, one of the ghosts was able to get her; but, Irish was able to find her (Len) unconscious--which is not what happened to one of the workers of the house. Irish's ex-boyfriend, Job, said he did not know about the sacrifice, why is he still hiring people to do the restoration after what happened to Irish (with a grin on his face)?  I still prefer Jodi Sta. Maria's Filipino horror film "Clarita".

Decided to finish the other series I am watching.  The Good Detective.  It is a South Korean television series of two detectives and a reporter who tried to reveal the truth against all odds.  There were lots of twists and mind games with a flash of humor here and there.  #ThumbsUp 👍  Season 2?
