Parasyte: The Grey
TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024
Parasyte: The Grey (2024, South Korea)
Director: Yeon Sang Ho
Writers: Yeon Sang Ho & Ryu Yong Jae (based on the manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki)
Mini-review:
I enjoyed this way more than I expected. I was a pretty big fan of the anime that aired a decade ago, so I was worried about this adaptation. But that wasn't necessary: instead of making a simple live-action remake, they tried to approach the story from a different point of view, making sure it could coexist in the original manga's universe (as shown by the very last scene). That being said, this one doesn't delve too much into its themes, opting instead to focus on the horror and action elements. And damn, it does deliver. The action scenes make great use of the parasytes' "tentacles", and they're shot with some stunning camerawork. Yeon Sang Ho's directing fires on all cylinders, more than making up for the pretty mediocre CGI. It also helps that the cast does fantastic job. So yeah, Parasyte: The Grey might not be as deep as it could, but if you're in the mood for a thrilling horror-action spectacle, then you should give it a try.

On the 1st of November, sixteen years ago, Girls' Generation released their first studio album, Girls' Generation.
Girls' Generation is a pop album with bubblegum influences.
Following the album's release, Girls' Generation was ranked as the second best-selling album of November 2007, selling just over 49,400 copies. It was the 12th best-selling album of the year overall in South Korea, with sales of 56,800 copies.
The title track is a cover of Lee Seung Chul's 1989 hit. "7989" is a duet by Taeyeon and Kangta. The song title is due to their birthday years: Kangta was born in 1979, and Taeyeon in 1989. "Honey (Sowon)" is a re-arranged version of Perfect for You (Sowon), included in "Into the new world".
