Initially, Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds was a manhwa written by Joo Ho-min, then adapted to the big screen on December 20, 2017 in South Korea. This film tells about the understanding of the afterlife or afterlife by Buddhism who believe in karma, retribution, and reincarnation. Everyone who dies will be tried in seven hells within 49 days. If you get through it all, the spirit can return to the world of the living or reincarnated.



The Story Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds begins with firefighter Ja Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who died from falling from a tall building after rescuing one of the fire victims. Ja Hong did not realize he had died until he met with three guardian angels Gang-Rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Deok-Choon (Kim Hyang-gi). They are Ja Hong's bodyguards to the gate of afterlife or afterlife. Ja Hong became a noble spirit because during his lifetime, even when he was about to die, he still helped people.



When entering afterlife, Ja Hong must pass 7 courts in 7 hell in 49 days to be reincarnated. The seven gods from each hell will prosecute Ja Hong according to what he did during his life. The seven courts that must be passed by Ja Hong are the courts of murder, laziness, dishonesty, injustice, betrayal, violence and apostasy.



Ja Hong really wanted to be reincarnated so he could meet again with his mute mother. But Ja Hong's trial process was hampered because her younger brother, Su Hong (Kim Dong Wook) died unnaturally and became a curious spirit. Can Ja Hong be reincarnated?



Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds not only provide a picture of what we will go through after we leave the world. But a touch of plot about the family in this film will also succeed in making you cry while watching it. For approximately 140 minutes of the film, you will see pieces of the past life of Jahong together with his sister and mother, the secrets he hid from his mother, and also something that his mother hid during this time. Apart from giving us warnings to continue to do good as long as we stand in the world, Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds also gives us a little flickering, how important communication and openness in a family, become one thing that often escapes our attention. 



Admittedly, the story offered in this film is very interesting. Ja Hong's figure invites us to look a little past, what we have been through all this time, what we have done, not only for families, but also those closest to us and ourselves. We seem to be brought to life after death and take responsibility for all our actions in life. Every trial that Ja Hong goes through makes us remember our sins for life. This film will also make us remember, will regret that can not be fixed once the time we have in this world is up.



With a fairly long duration (140 minutes), and a fairly complex storyline, however, some entertaining scenes and action scenes will not bore us while watching them. Although, there are some scenes that use CGI, the animation looks "cheap" and not as good as films that use other CGI animations. Maybe, they really focus on the audience to remember about the importance of living life properly.



Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds is perfect for watching by those of you who are having problems with the people closest to you, or who want to find a purpose to do good during life. Intrigued by the film? Just watch it!

Gerakan silhak pada dinasti joseon di korea selatan

Gambar
Sejak awal abad 17, sebuah gerakan yang menganjurkan Silhak, atau pembelajaran mengenai hal-hal praktis, memperoleh momentum yang cukup banyak diantara cendekiawan-pejabat yang berpikiran liberal sebagai alat untuk membangun suatu bangsa yang modern. Mereka sangat menganjurkan dilaksanakannya perbaikan-perbaikan dalam bidang pertanian dan industri, sejalan dengan dilakukannya reformasi-reformasi menyeluruh dalam hal pembagian tanah. Namun bagaimanapun juga, para bangsawan dari pemerintahan yang konservatif belum siap untuk melakukan perubahan yang sedrastis itu. Pada paruh kedua masa pemerintahan Dinasti Joseon, administrasi pemerintahan dan kaum kelas atas ditandai oleh faksionalisme atau pembentukan golongan-golongan yang muncul berulang-ulang. Untuk membereskan situasi politik yang tidak diinginkan, Raja Yeongjo (1724-1776) akhirnya mengambil kebijakan yang tidak berpihak. Dengan demikian ia mampu memperkuat kembali kewenangan Raja dan menciptakan stabilitas po...

  You might think of spas and massages when you feel tired like wet cotton, when your neck and back hurt from overuse of your computer or smartphone, or when your skin is irritated due to changing seasons. After a full body massage, you will feel better and your body will feel much lighter. In typical spa places you have to choose your own program. Rarely is there a place that offers a professional spa program with individual physiology in mind. This is a place that understands a person's unique physical differences and offers a personalized spa program. A spa made specifically according to Sasang's physiology, Yeo Yong Guk was founded on the ideology of the story of Yeo Yong Guk, which contains a saying that a woman takes care of her face like a king who runs a country. At Yeo Yong Guk Korea Spa, undivided attention is paid to the fact that everyone has their own physiology. Everyone's physical constitution is different, so how could they all be treated with the same m...

Jjukkumi, one of South Korea's signature dishes that you must try

Gambar
  Soon South Korea will enter spring. Usually spring starts from late March to early May. Because the temperature is not too cold but also not too hot, South Korean people usually like to eat foods that can maintain their health stamina, especially those that come from marine wealth. One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu. Jukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum is made from two basic ingredients, namely jukkumi and samgyeopsal. Jukkumi or octopus ocellatus is a type of octopus that is small and has a softer texture than ordinary octopus. Samgyeopsal,...
