Vagabond (2019) [-] Spy-action thriller. After his nephew is killed in a plane crash, stuntman Cha Dal-Geon (Lee Seung-gi) is determined to find out what really happened and starts to uncover a multi-layered conspiracy. He gets help from low-level Korean National Intelligence Service analyst Go Hae-ri (Bae Suzy) who is in over her head but sees this as a way to promotion and job stability.

This took me a couple of sessions to watch. The first eight episodes then a long break then the last ten. Especially the first few episodes there are some very long action sequences involving Dal-Geon. Also too many plot twists as to who is the real bad guy. Finally a non-ending maybe setting up a sequel series should there be one but I don't see anything in Wikipedia and now it's six years later.

I watched this for Bae Suzy and she magnetic when she's on screen but everyone other than Dal-Geon is a secondary character and Hae-ri is the top secondary character. Overall a disappointing series. Although I do appreciate the bad girls casting: Moon Jeong-hee as Jessica Lee, power lobbyist and one of the Big Bads; Park Ah-in as Lily, assassin with an attitude; and Ryu Won as Mickey, administrative assistant with gun and spec ops skills.

Millionaire Trivia: TV Game+ (2023) [/] Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz show. At base it's you vs another global player answering quiz questions that get harder as you get closer to the $1M prize. Vs is nice since it can be asynchronous -- the computer only needs to know other player's level, the quiz id, and when the other player got a wrong answer.

I like how they did the experts. You collect expert cards (and duplicates allow you to level up that expert) and experts are good at one or more categories. Then when you call on an expert the screen shows all your experts and their confidence on this question. I'm not sure expert knowledge is that specific -- I got William Shakespeare card but I don't think he'd be better at Shakespeare questions than another expert with the same rarity can category skill level.

But other than collecting experts it's still Who Wants to be a Millionaire which I don't find that interesting.

Echo Journal [/] Echo (Educational Community for HOA Homeowners) is a non-profit aimed at educating homeowners who live in an HOA and HOA board members. They have a quarterly journal which anybody can download. Besides all the ads (kind of useful actually since they're services specifically for HOAs) there is one or two educational articles (although many are split up into 1 to 3 parts). I feel most of the advice is common sense but some things are new to me so it's a useful journal to at least scan through.
