Semi-Soeter is the sequel (or should I call it a legacy sequel?) to the 2012 film Semi-Soet. Back then, the “pretend couple to real couple” plots were all the rage, and Joshua Rous and his co-writers, Anel Alexander, James Gracie, and Sandra Vaughn, decided to capitalize on that trend. The narrative was about an employee of an advertising company faking her relationship with the very businessman that was about to take over the firm that she worked at in order to secure a deal with a wine company.

Crime dramas centered around families are now a dime a dozen. The most popular show of this year so far has been MobLand, which focused on the feud between the Harrigans and the Stevensons and how the former’s fixer, Harry Da Souza, mediated the whole affair before deciding to do what was best for the hand that fed him. Then there was Hound’s Hill, which showed the patriarch of the Glowackis cleaning his town so as to satiate his desire of being a Godfather-esque figure.

Musicals come in all shapes and sizes. You have the regular ones where there’s a narrative that’s furthered by songs, which are either sung by the actors or by playback singers. They can be in the live-action or animated format. Then there are concert films, which are essentially documentaries of the star’s live performances that are juxtaposed with some behind-the-scenes tidbits in order to underscore the effort, both physical and psychological, that is needed to pull off these worldwide tours.

The ending of K-Pop Demon Hunters was all about Huntrix stopping the demon king, Gwi-Ma, from consuming the souls of the people of South Korea, and re-establishing the protective barrier, also known as the Honmoon, which kept ghouls from entering the mortal realm. Since the 17th century, a trio of singer-warriors have been selected to protect the country from Gwi-Ma with the help of their voice, camaraderie, fighting skills, and the support of the people.
