In Praise of Knowledge Network

I am overjoyed by Knowledge Network. I cannot express the unbridled excitement that fills my being everytime I watch one of their series. How lucky I am to have this streaming network in my life.

Their genre variety offers a stimulating  menu of thrilling tastes - each underscored with remarkable quality.
 While watching 'Being Beethoven', I was riveted to my seat. Each painful event this musical genius experienced was revealed, made all the  more real as one his compositions played echoing his tortuous loneliness - a result of his deafness. His opera, 'Fidelio' exemplifies the composer's luckless fate,
I am so happy Knowledge Network is here. It invites me into a world of wonder that enriches not just my viewing experience but allows me to know more about the world in which I live. There is no fee by the way to join.

WOL F PACK, Directed by Michael Chiang*

 

The beginning sets us up for real suspense. A bus ride for a young man ends up in havoc for him. He is pushed out of the bus and his attacker throws his backpack over a bridge in the water.

The young man is a doctor and he’s forced to operate on a man under secrecy in a tent. He is now involved with mercenaries and he must fight with them. A special kind of gun marked with an insignia seems to be the reason the gang is fighting – to get that gun.The secret over this special gun just didn’t hold any suspense, and delaying the revelation that the head mercenary  knows the young man through his dead father was revealed too late in this Korean film. For the young man, it holds the answer to his father’s death. The film was boring and moved too slow.  The plot weird, and the acting dull. It all could have moved much faster. Furthermore, confusion trumped the great fight scenes.
