Tries to be the “cute young woman assassin taking on the yakuza” action-comedy. Tries too hard to look cool. And fails. Messy plotting.

Typical contemporary horror fiction in many respects but with well-written twisted dark/black comedy.

A tight narrative about an ugly woman’s desire for attention. Tragedy follows her decisions. Some plot conveniences but beautifully shot.

Lacks plot. Themes are apparent but under-developed. Mostly looks good. Relies too much on Park Bo-young and Seo In-guk to carry the show.

Character-driven series. Tries to balance dark and light, both in terms of storytelling and visually. Mostly looks good but a bit bloated.

Horror parodies of Ito’s experience with his wife and two cats. Drawn in his usual style. Moderately amusing, not to be taken too seriously.

Recommended if one is a fan of Ito’s work; he has good ideas but not necessarily the best plotting. Not bad but animation is inconsistent.

Red panda with her work and personal life problems. Vents by singing death metal. Relatable and amusing if you are into that type of humor.

Paranormal mystery-thriller comedy. Decent writing and production. Mostly a refreshing, amusing and satisfying series.

An excellent crime comedy-action in which an intolerant priest investigates a murder and beats up criminals.

Attempts to be a supernatural thriller-drama. Formulaic in many respects. Nothing bad but nothing special either.

Remake of the 2008 Taiwanese series. Tries to be quirky as well as tragic. Drags on for too long. Annoying male lead. Avoidable.

Based on the book The Pentagon Wars: Reformers Challenge the Old Guard by USAF Colonel James G. Burton, this is one of those comedy gems...

Mostly enjoyable romantic dramady and very funny at times, but the plotting and pacing plateau in the second half of the series.

This sequel is a more focused story, so it is not as fun but it is still a decent, enjoyable film.

A comedy about an assassin and his assistant told to lay low and not kill anyone. Could be funnier but still a solid film that is enjoyable.

Not a Taken clone but rather a vigilante-revenge black comedy. Enjoyable and recommended.
