Review:


1st thoughts?
Entahlah. Ia terletak pada apa expectation kau.
Kalau kau peminat korean drama, pasti harapan kau mungkin lovey dovey couple. 
Tak banyak pun tapi mesti nak ada sikit sebanyak scene a sweet couple. Manis-manis gula.
 Walaupun kau tahu ini cerita action, thriller, investigation.
Tapi, kalau kau perminat tegar 'Criminal Minds', harapan kau pasti psychopath, serial killer, dark life, strong storyline, motif pembunuhan.
Siapa? Kenapa? Mengapa?
Wah!!!

Walaupun, we have Morgan dan Garcia.
Oh, baby girl.
*Jangan tetipu. Mereka bukanlah the real couple dalam series ini. But they still sweet macam gula-gula.

Aku?
Dua-Dua.
Secara jujurnya aku excited nak tahu apa yang Director and Writer South Korea ini nak buat dengan jalan cerita dia.

By the way, aku peminat tegar Dr. Reid.

Disebabkan itu, perkara pertama yang bermain adalah siapa Dr. Reid di South Korea?


Nampak tak?
Rasa-rasanya siapa yang tepat dengan profile ini?
✔ IQ : 187
✔Asperger's syndrome
✔ Read 20,000 words per minute.
✔  His mother has paranoid schizophrenia.
✔ Have eidetic memory/photographic memory.
✔ Holds B.A.s in Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy, a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Engineering as well as a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Caltech.

Opps, i know. Sorry...
Kan aku dah cakap tadi aku adalah peminat tegar Dr. Reid.
Dan expectation aku, kegilaan Dr. Reid akan sampai ke South Korean.
No harm, no foul.

Aku tak ada masalah sebenarnya dengan pemilihan pelakon.

Son Hyun-Joo, Moon Chae-Won, Lee Joon-Gi
as
Kang Ki-Hyung, Ha Sun-Woo, Kim Hyun-Joon

as
Yoo Min Young, Lee Han, Na Na

So Hyun Joo adalah nama yang tidak asing untuk drama thriller korea.
Drama atau filem genre seperti ini adalah makanannya.
Tidak perlu dipertikaikan.
Kalau tak percaya korang boleh tengok drama atau filem lakonan dia.

Moon Chae Won. Aku hanya pernah lihat tiga drama lakonannya.
Ok, semua watak sedih.
Tapi, aku search juga pasal dia ni.
Soompi : Versatil.
2008 until 2016. Award dia melambak.
So, siapa kau nak bagi ulasan.

Lee Joon Gi. Tarikan.
Rata-ratanya. Rasanyalah.
Kebanyakan penonton or peminat drama korea nak tonton drama ini sebab dia.
'maybe'
Tapi kredibiliti sebagai pelakon tak payah dipertikaikan.
Kalau tak, tak mungkin dapat masuk Hollywood kan.
Apa? Bila? Siapa?

Commander Chu.


Jalan cerita.
Sama tak sama?

Macam mana aku nak story.

Dia wujudkan character yang lebih kurang sama.
Lee Han mirip dengan Dr. Reid.
Ki-Hyung mirip Hotch.
Sun-Woo mirip Prentiss.
Hyun-Joon mirip Morgan.
Min-Young mirip JJ.
Na Na mirip Garcia.

Nama pun 'remake' kan.

Tapi sayang karakter David Rossi tiada.
Jangan main-main dengan orang tua ni tau.

Kalau tak percaya pergi marathon start dari season 3 sampai 12.
Kalau nak tengok season 13 pun dah boleh.
Episode 1 dah keluar dah ni.
Kat mana?
Pandai-pandailah korang search.
Director dia, Matthew Gray Gubler.
Siapa? Dr. Reid aku lah!
ha ha ha

Dan kenapa aku kata orang tua ni hebat.
Sebab dia bukan sahaja hebat sebagai David Rossi, Tapi dia juga hebat sebagai Joe Mantegna.
Dia merupakan salah seorang Director untuk series 'Criminal Minds' dari season 10 until now.
Lagi satu.
Siapa peminat The Godfather? Lebih specific, The Godfather Part III?
Kenalkah anda pada Joe Zasa?

Stop!
Ok, aku rasa agak melampau aku terpesong.
Back, Back, Back.

Criminal Minds Korean version agak kurang dari segi jalan ceritanya kalau hendak dibandingkan dengan US version.
Walaupun jalan ceritanya, setiap episod, setiap kes masih berdasarkan US Version.
Mungkin.
tvN adalah saluran kabel.
Disiarkan secara umum. Untuk tontonan umum.
Dark, mature content, gruesome.
Tidak sesuai.
Mungkin.
Di olah mengikut kesesuaian penonton mereka.
Mungkin.

Tapi.
merupakan antara genre crime investigation korean drama yang agak mendapat sambutan.
Dan aku adalah salah satu pengikut tegar dari season 1 sampai ke season 4.
Walaupun aku agak geram episode lastnya tu.
Hiding again! Dah kenapa?
Hopefully season 5 tak lama lagi.
Hopefully akan ada.
Walaupun, Goodbye Mobius... 
Ok done. Itu kita review lain hari.
Mungkin waktu season 5 keluar.
ha ha ha

Back to CM!
Ialah kan, manalah nak dibandingkan dengan 20 episod dan 13 season bukan?
Nak olah semua? Tak mungkin sempat.
Disebabkan itu,
Masih banyak yang tidak disentuh dan diceritakan di dalam korean version.
Terutama latar belakang character.
Sun Woo, Lee Han, Mi Young, Na Na.
Semuanya masih samar.

Kerana itu,
aku rasa akan ada kesinambungannya nanti.
Kita tunggu dan lihat.

Aku bukan tak nak. Tapi aku tak ada masa nak recap satu persatu episod.
Sebab dah banyak membebel, terpesong sana sini kan?
ha ha ha
Malu sendiri.

Tapi, Dramabeans.com boleh tolong recap kan untuk korang.

Last but not least.

Perfect - Ed Sheeran





I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess
I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it,
Darling, you look perfect tonight

Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
When I saw you in that dress
Looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this
Darling, you look perfect tonight

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight



“Perfect” is an old-fashioned love ballad dedicated to Ed’s current girlfriend Cherry Seaborn.

Radio.com :
When asked if Seaborn could be “the one,” the singer was unequivocal in his response.
“Undoubtedly, undoubtedly,” he said. 
“But I think if you ever enter into a long-term relationship and you have a doubt, then you shouldn’t be in the long-term relationship.”

BBC:
"I just wanted to beat "Thinking Out Loud" because I know that song was going to define me...With "Perfect", it was like, I need to write the best love song of my career". - Ed Sheeran

Music Choice:
I think the song “Perfect” is actually better than “Thinking Out Loud.” I think there was always a scare that “Thinking Out Loud” would define me and define my career. So I, I wrote a lot of songs trying to beat it and now I think, I think I have beaten it.
Thematically, the song is reminiscent of “18,” a song he wrote for his friends in One Direction. - Ed Sheeran


Album : ÷  (pronounced "divide")
Released 26 September 2017
