By Paul Bramhall 

3 years after the unexpected global success of the Netflix series Squid Game, the streaming giant continues to plough money into Korean content, with the countries K-dramas coming to enjoy the same level of popularity globally as they have within Asia for most of the 21st century. Movies haven’t escaped the streaming services sights either, sometimes exclusively distributing them, and other times producing them. The latest to arrive on the platform is Mission: Cross, frequently referenced as a Korean mix of Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets True Lies, which while feeling like a lazy comparison also isn’t entirely untrue (and at this point any action movie that escapes a “insert movie title here meets John Wick” comparison must be worth a look.

For fans of Korean cinema, particularly those that got into it during the Korean Wave of the early 2000’s, the biggest selling point of Mission: Cross will be to see 2 performers synonymous with the era sharing the screen together for the first time. While Hwang Jung-min’s popularity skyrocketed during the 2010’s, personally I’ll always associate him with the likes of 2001’s Waikiki Brothers and 2003’s A Good Lawyer’s Wife.

Christmas Carol (2022) Review

"Christmas Carol" Theatrical Poster

“Christmas Carol” Theatrical Poster

Director: Kim Seong-soo
Cast: Park Jinyoung, Kim Young-min, Heo Dong-won, Song Geon-hee, Kim Dong-Hwi
Running Time: 130 min.

By Paul Bramhall

While the English title of writer and director Kim Seong-soo’s 3rd feature Christmas Carol may sound like another disposable entry in Netflix’s festive movie lineup, thankfully the reality is very different. Taking the classic tale of a revenge seeking protagonist who intentionally gets sent to prison to hunt down those responsible for an injustice, those expecting a warmly festive themed dose of Korean cinema are best to look elsewhere.

Former K-pop group member Park Jinyoung (Yaksha: Ruthless Operations, A Stray Goat) plays an 18-year-old tearaway youth living on the bottom rungs of society. The breadwinner of his family, consisting of his dementia ridden grandmother and his mentally disabled twin brother (whom he also plays), when the latter is found dead in their apartment buildings water tank on Christmas eve, the authorities surmise it was a suicide. Despite the body showing signs of violence, the police visit the grandmother while Jinyoung is working and, not knowing any better, she signs off on the death certificate, only to also die a few days later. Jinyoung Continue reading

Adult Entertainment Guide: Tips to Discreetly Watch Videos Online

Everybody has their version of “me time.” And for those who prefer to do it in private by watching adult content, then it is crucial to know how to do it safely and discreetly. The internet is so vast that it can be the platform where a user’s identity can be put at risk. And accessing sites that offer adult content can be risky. If you want to access adult content sites for Asian Porn, then here are some safety tips for you.

Protection Against Malware

Any website you visit is a thriving ground for malware. To keep your online viewing safe, make sure that you install the right antivirus software. There are many to choose from today. So do your research to find out which is the best protection against malware. This can prevent unwanted cyberattacks by cleaning up threats when visiting the website.

Use Paid Websites

There are many free-to-access adult content sites today. But if you want to ensure your safety, choose to watch adult videos using paid access. Some free sites have spyware on users’ devices. However, using a paid service will ensure your safety while watching adult content online. You can efficiently protect your identity with a paid website. It will also be easier to file a complaint or report since these sites often have reliable customer support.

Avoid Clicking the Ads

Pop-up advertisements are prevalent on adult content websites. If an ad pops up, just disregard it. Close the ads and move on with your content viewing. Most of the time these ads can be harmful to your device. Pop-ups are often made by malware creators. If you don’t want to see ads, download a blocking software. This will ensure that no ads get in the way of your video streaming.

Minimize Digital Footprint

The more videos you watch online, the higher your digital footprint is. One effective solution is to use the incognito mode when surfing adult content websites. This will protect your identity and prevent the internet from tracking your footprint. So, any malware that you might come across will not easily detect your true identity and location.

Using the same internet connection with other members of the family at home will put your online activities out in the open. If you don’t want others to see your browsing activities, keep your digital footprint in check.

Choosing an Adult Content Platform

You should know how to prioritize when watching adult content online. There are several factors to look into when choosing a website to watch mature content. The following are just a few of the things to take into account:

  • Quality of content.
  • The type of adult videos offered.
  • The safety of the platform.
  • Positive reviews from other viewers.

Watch Videos from Trusted Websites

There are many websites today that offer adult content. These videos can be easily streamed online. That is why you must know which websites should you trust. Not all of these sites can ensure your safety. There are many threats on the internet. And most of these can put your safety and privacy at risk.

People watch adult content online for a variety of reasons. And when doing it on your computer or mobile devices, the safety of the platform is crucial. You do not only have to secure your device but also the internet connection you are using.

Take the time to look into the platform’s reputation. Research your options to know which online streaming platforms are safe to use. It is easy to spot a site that can keep you safe. So, do not settle for only one platform. Have a couple to choose from to find the best and the safest for you.
