    I have caught up a bit on the recent Sailor Moon musicals. They appear to be somewhat better than those of the past.

    Well, I’ve seen a lot of dubs that are cut compared to the original; often for no apparent reason other than maybe saving time for the additional english credits. It has become the more important reason than the conflict between dub and sub of the past. There is still the difference of some better fan translation than official ones, though, too.

    I’m sorry I have been keeping short on “Descendants of the Sun”. The reason being the show coincides with a lot of my own experience & knowledge in the field, on geopolitics and other things you cannot imagine. But of course there are some unrealistic things like how the youngster could join up with special forces in just 8 months. Then again a lot (more) of other things where TV tropes would kick in this show depicts it right or has made better attempts. The controversies, criticism and other things hit home. The “discussion” and depiction of personal solutions on what’s loyalty, nationalism, duty, responsibility, humanity, love, etc. are the underlying issues that are being addressed by the show.

    You might want to look at Girlish Number. It’s a bit different from the usual in that it’s about idol/voice actors on the less successful track or about the troubles of the business.

    Descendants of the Sun/태양의 후예 / Taeyangui Huye (2016)(Korean)

    http://asianwiki.com/images/7/70/Descendants_of_the_Sun-001.jpg" />

    Type: romance

    Genre: medical, humanitarian, crisis, war, crime, world politics

    Year: 2016

    Summary:

    One day, soldier Yoo Shi-jin meets surgeon Kang Mo-yeon in a complicated circumstance. It’s a short lived romance and they go their separate ways. 8 months later they meet by chance on the other side of the world where life and death are as close as it gets.

    Critique:

    As a romance show it’s good but not the best there is. The actors performed their roles very well but not outstanding. Nothing to complain, though. The side stories are the best part of the show.

    Nearly all of them are about (world) crisis. The things soldiers and doctors are facing in the field. Unlike most catastrophe/3rd world movies it features nearly everything out there. It’s only missing the deadly “game” involving environmentalist in the field.

    With the resources at hand it’s doing a better job than most higher budgeted movies/shows. For some reason the UN is often involved but, actually, UN endorsement is completely missing.

    Not so much (emphasized) tragedy, but a lot of blood and tears are spilled in this show. Imho the best Korean show this year. Watch it if you get the chance.

    If you don’t want to waste time watching it all, watch the two comprehensive specials. You will miss all the side stories, though.

    A second season has already been announced to be in the works, supposedly coming next year.

    Verdict: 8.7

    Cast 8

    Cast performance 8

    Script/Directing: 10

    Yeah, that would help. It would be nice if there’s some kind of bot script which parses posts and recognize the exceptional amount of links as spam.

    The krypton issue didn’t take long to be solved…

    To bad Cat served her purpose and has to go with Jimmy taking over. He doesn’t have the skill set(s) so why him?

    So coming monday we get to see the Kryptonian newcomer waking up and attacking …

    I wonder what’s up with him consuming electric power.
