Series Review:

Squid Game

Squid Game is Netflix's one of the most popular show until now. Since its release on Sept. 17, 2021, this South Korean thriller has become a global phenomenon. Its viewership has increased by 481% in less than a month, and the hashtag has been viewed more than billions of time in social media.

This series revolves around a contest in which 456 players, all drawn from different walks of life but each deeply in debt, play a series of children's games with deadly penalties for the chance to win 45.6 billion prize. If they lose, they die in terrifying and inhumane ways — all while a group of billionaires watch for their own voyeuristic pleasure.

It’s a clear commentary on how crushing economic inequality and financial instability can be for lower-income people - issues that only have been exacerbated by the global pandemic. People can identify with feeling like they’re not the ruling class, but the underdog or the downtrodden.

Hwang had conceived of the idea based on his own economic struggles early in life as well as class disparity in South Korea. He wrote and directed all 9 episodes himself. Consequently, Squid Game attracted international attention. Within a week of its release, it became one of Netflix's most-watched programs in several regional markets; within its first 28 days of release, it attracted more than 111 million viewers, surpassing Bridgerton as the network's most-watched show .

Film Review: [Spoiler Alert]

𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

"Inception" is a 2010 science fiction action film written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

Dominic Cobb is the foremost practitioner of the artistic science of extraction, inserting oneself into a subject's dreams to obtain hidden information without the subject knowing, a concept taught to him by his professor father-in-law, Dr. Stephen Miles. Dom's associates are Miles' former students, who Dom requires as he has given up being the dream architect for reasons he won't disclose. Dom's primary associate, Arthur, believes it has something to do with Dom's deceased wife, Mal, who often figures prominently and violently in those dreams, or Dom's want to "go home" (return to his own reality, which consists of two small children)

Dom's work is generally in corporate espionage. As the subjects don't want the information to get into the wrong hands, the clients have zero tolerance for failure. Dom is also on the run, as many of his former victims have discovered what he has done to them. One of those subjects, Mr. Saito offers Dom a job he can't refuse: to take the concept one step further into inception. What will he do? That's something you will have to watch for yourself.

FRIENDS

Filled with unlimited sarcasm and emotion "FRIENDS" is preferred as the best comedy show out there. Chandler's sarcasm, Monica's neat freak silliness and beauty, Ross's geeky knowledge, Joey's innocence, and Rachel's attractive acting all combined makes it more than a series. What's more appealing is the characters' youthful innocence, which you can't help but admire. And all of the characters' friendships were another thing to notice, as they persevered through all of the ups and downs. The final episode alone is enough to make a grown up cry. It was perfect in every way.

The tv show FRIENDS is a classic in the history of American comedies. Directed by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. This Sitcom was first aired 22nd of September in 1994 with an impeccable run in the world of television for a decade. With the kind of series it was, there was hardly any person in the 90's and 20's who had not heard about this show. Its attention-grabbing dialogue and innovative jokes were a nice change of pace from the norm. The set's decoration, music, instrument, setting, camera all contributed significantly to the quality of "Friends". Most of all the balanced chemistry between all of the actors and Crane's brilliant script was the absolute icing on the cake.

People pass away but leave their past behind. They cannot even think that after their death their intimates sometimes may not flashback their last memories.
This drama is inspired by the essay "THINGS LEFT BEHIND" by Kim Saebyul, a former trauma cleaner.

"Move to Heaven" is the name of a trauma cleaning company. A 20-year-old boy, Han Geu-Ru who has Asperger’s syndrome, helps his father Jeong-u to run this trauma cleaning company. They treat every cleaning request and the memory of the deceased with the utmost respect. They throw away most of their possessions, but they collect the most precious things of the deceased in a yellow box so that the deceased’s loved ones can know their unsaid messages. The yellow box reminds us that in our whole life, we get and lose many things. But, our stories can be told by a very little amount of things.

All of a sudden, Han Geu-Ru's father died of cardiac arrest. Geu-ru cannot bear this grief. He does not allow anyone to touch his father's things. Who will be his guardian in his father's absence? A few days later a stranger who had just been released from prison came to his house. He claimed he was his uncle, the younger brother of his father. But Geu-ru doesn't even know about his existence. Before the death of Geu-ru's father, he handed over the responsibility of guardianship of Geu-ru to his stepbrother in the condition of working in Move to Heaven with Geu-ru for three months.

What happens next? Why was Geu-ru's uncle in prison? Why does his uncle hate his father?
Can Han Geu-ru run the company properly in absence of his father?

This drama of 10 episodes makes you realize the importance of people and their memories, and introduce yourself to the untold stories of a dead person.

Layla
Author- Colleen Hoover

📖 Book Review

If you are a type of bookworm who keeps looking for a bunch of genres gathered in one book,Layla is certainly your type.

This book is no doubt a bundle of genres that lays out 'Contemporary Romance’, ‘Paranormal fiction’, ‘Thriller’, ‘Romantic Suspense’ etc.

“Layla” is quite an exception to all the other books by the author. Colleen Hoover is the New York Times Bestselling author who is mostly famous for her Young Adult/New Adult novels like "It Ends With Us","Confess", "Without Merit","Regretting You" etc. The author won the Goodreads Choice Award in the category ‘Romance’, three times in a row.
Layla came out on December 8th,2020. This is Hoover's very first step into the world of paranormal fiction. Yet the writer's work in this sector is no doubt praiseworthy. Barnes And Noble rated the book 4.5 out of 5. Those who are looking forward to tasting something new and trying out some paranormal reads, this book is definitely for them. This book will offer you a vibe of wholesome romance with spine chilling paranormal thriller.

"Layla" is titled after the female protagonist of the book. We read the storylines from 'Leeds', the male lead’s perspective. When the story begins, we see Leeds at an interview at his home with a stranger he barely knows. Throughout the interview Layla screams from her bedroom, upstairs. This remains the biggest suspense in the rest of the book. The storyline combines two different time shifts one after another. That starts where Leeds and Layla fall in love with each other at Layla's sister's wedding. Leeds falls for the confident and amusing side of Layla and Layla keeps inspiring Leeds about establishing his music career from the very first day they meet. Their love story goes the same until both of them face a terrible accident; that takes away a lot of things from Layla; especially her confidence.
After several months of the accident, Leeds flies her to the place they both first met. Reaching there, Layla starts hating the place immediately. But Leeds starts facing many things that have no explanation in the real world; that somehow makes him curious and linger their vacation. There we see someone else present at the house, except for Layla and Leeds. And only Leeds gets to know about her presence and Layla remains unaware.

"Who is that other person?" "What is her purpose?"- remains a mystery till the end of the book.

‘হ্যালো লেডিজ’ অনেকগুলো সাটল ম্যাসেজও দিয়েছে ডমেস্টিক ভায়োলেন্স, হাউজওয়াইফদের সাথে সামগ্রিক আচরণ, প্যারেন্টিং, ইত্যাদি নিয়ে। সাথে ট্রুম্যান শোয়ের মতো কিছুটা ফিলও দিয়ে গেছে। ঊনলৌকিকের প্রতিটা পর্বই ভাবার জন্য কিছু না কিছু এলিমেন্ট রেখে যাচ্ছে। আর দিয়ে যাচ্ছে দারুণ কিছু দেখার পরিতৃপ্তিও। এই সাইকাডেলিক মুগ্ধতা বজায় থাক শেষ পর্বেও।

'Dumb Dumb' is the third digital single by Somi. It was released on August 2, 2021. In this song we see the trend of rap choruses full of synth pop arrangements but it still has Somi's style. With the lyrics starting by singing the candid heart of a teenage girl trying to appeal herself to her high school crush, 'Dumb Dumb' takes an abrupt turn in the chorus with a powerful drop, accompanied by the song's iconic choreography in the part.

Black label founder Teddy was executive producer of 'Dumb Dumb'. Somi played a key role in writing the song. She is credited as one of the lyricists of the song.Somi is known as Jeon Somi. She is a Canadian - Dutch - Korean singer and songwriter based in South Korea.

As a matter of fact Bangladesh had no taste of victory against Australia 3 days prior to the first bilateral T20I series win against Australia. What better way of bringing such triumphant feat than a last over nail biting finish. In fact this could very well be the only match in history where 12 runs needed for 1 ball and you would still feel there's a chance for the batting side. The match was a classical showcasing of the term, " It ain't over till it's over".

All's well until FIZZ (probably the best left arm fast medium bowler right now) steps in and starts delivering his magical spell, 4 overs of 9 runs. His first bowl : McDermott was dropped by Shoriful straight at long leg but that only showed what kind of mental realm he was in as he calmly bowled even better the next 5 deliveries with no runs given. Followed by a beautiful over by Shakib Al Hasan which cleans up McDermott on the 14th over and thus begins Bangladesh's hopes and dreams of a series win. Shoriful Islam returns with the all needed slower delivery that gets Henriques of guard, causes him to chip it straight to mid on fielder . But that's not the end of Shoriful bestowal performance as Mitchel Marsh was still on crease.

It seemed the game was over as Mustafiz bowls the astounding 19th over giving just 1 run. How many times have you seen in a t20 match for someone to bowl with such grace.

Bangladesh marches to an infallible 3-0 lead to register their first ever series win against Australia across formats by defending 128 in a nail biting finish to the third T20I in Dhaka. Mahmudullah led from the front by scoring 52 and batting deep to ensure the hosts had some firepower left late in the innings, making him the man of the match but the unsung hero of the night is Mustafizur Rahman with his brilliant 4 overs of 9 runs.
