  • DISNEY+ STREAMING SERIES REVIEW: Disney+ New Crime Drama “The Manipulated” Is Building Up to a Big Face-Off

    DISNEY+ STREAMING SERIES REVIEW: Disney+ New Crime Drama “The Manipulated” Is Building Up to a Big Face-Off

    The new Disney+ crime drama series The Manipulated is a glossy yet brutal thriller about an everyman, Park Tae-joong (Ji Chang-wook), who is framed for a horrible crime by an insanely wealthy fixer, An Yo-han (Doh Kyung-soo). Catching the first four episodes of the show, the series feels more like a movie cut into parts, with a large continuing narrative that only really follows Tae-joong and how he survives in prison while Yo-han is inadvertently making his life more difficult. The Manipulated is fast paced, pulls no punches, and is setting us up for a big showdown between its two leads.

    Tae-joong is a hardworking man with big dreams. He is constantly working, mostly as a delivery rider, trying to raise money to open a cafe while paying for the studies of his younger brother, Tae-jin. He is also knowledgeable with plants, a gift he has learned from his late mother. But one night, one phone call and a diversion from his usual routine finds him as the suspect of a brutal murder and some hard evidence has turned up that puts him in prison. There, the gentle hardworking man must turn into a warrior if he is going to survive.

    Disney+ The Manipulated

    The crux of the show’s first four episodes is centered on how this genuinely good person, wonderfully portrayed by Ji Chang-wook, turns into a fighter when his back is pushed against the wall. When binge watching the first four episodes, all the things that could go wrong for Tae-joong happens to Tae-joong bringing him to his darkest place only to be reborn as a strong-willed, very capable man. Surprisingly, the issue of his incarceration – what we, as the audience, known as false evidence because we witness what truly transpired – is hardly touched upon and the series seems more focused on Tae-joong’s transformation. 

    Disney+ The Manipulated

    When the case is brought up again, that’s the only time An Yo-han is revealed. Doh Kyung-soo portrays Yo-han as a psychopath, completely devoid of empathy and humanity, he plays him like a child who always gets what he wants. He’s portrayed as unbelievably wealthy, definitely supported by his work as a fixer, and unbelievably bored. We still know quite little at the start, but we know he’s the cause of Tae-joong’s suffering and so far, the series has made it that he’s going to be a character we are going to want to see suffer.

    Disney+ The Manipulated

    Structurally, the series isn’t built like a regular show. This is Tae-joong’s story, and most probably Yo-han’s too, once Tae-joong finds out his role in all of this, and the narrative rests entirely on Tae-joong’s journey. The first four episodes are set to break him, rebuild him, and then break him again, in order for him to take matters into his own hands.

    Disney+ The Manipulated

    The Manipulated continues the portrayal of a rough prison system that is filled with corruption and illegal activities. Some inmates, like Yeo Deok-su (Yang Dong-geun), are vile and evil and they find Tae-joong’s presence a wrench in their system of control within the prison.

    Disney+ The Manipulated

    The inner politics and territorial disputes among the inmates in the prison serve to play an important role here while there’s some shred of goodness left in the setting in the form of an inmate, No Yong-sik (Kim Jong-soo), who has found peace as an assistant to the prison priest, and one warden who stands as the only one in the whole prison who seems to have his humanity intact.

    Disney+ The Manipulated

    Directors Park Shin-woo and Kim Chang-ju are unafraid to go all in on the violence and brutality. The action scenes in the series are intense and make full use of Ji Chan-wook’s very capable physicality. Ji Chan-wook is charming as Tae-joong. He captures the goodness and the everyman quality that the character needs but can also bring out the darkness in him when his world starts crashing down. And Ji Chan-wook is no stranger to action. His past shows have shown that he’s very capable at making the fight scenes look good.

    Disney+ The Manipulated Poster

    The Manipulated is off to a great start. It has powerful lead actors and a narrative that’s shaping up for a face off that we’d be excited to see play out. The ending of episode four also hints at a certain death match, not unlike The Hunger Games. If it does, it will bring another layer into the show that may be a little too unrealistic for its rather grounded first four episodes, but it may amplify our need to see Tae-joong get his justice. I’m excited to find out.

    My Rating:

    stars 4 0



    Ready to see how far one man will go for justice? The Manipulated is streaming exclusively on Disney+. Catch the tension build with every episode.

    Local Streaming Service BlastTV is now ‘Legit Libre’ for Everyone

    BlastTV, a local streaming service owned and operated by Tap Digital Media Ventures (TapDMV), announced that the app is now ‘Legit Libre,’ promising to deliver world-class and exclusive entertainment that is free for every Filipino.

    BlastTV Legit Libre PR Image

    The streaming service offers blockbuster movies, binge-worthy TV shows including US series, anime, and K-dramas, TV channels, and action packed live sports. Boasting a vast library of premium content from globally renowned partners such as Paramount+, Ani-One, Muse Asia, WWE, UFC, NFL, and WTA, BlastTV takes ‘free streaming’ to the next level. 

    BlastTV’s free entertainment lineup features hit US series like From, Ghosts, Elsbeth, Matlock, Nancy Drew, and Survivor; Korean dramas like Pyramid Game, Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale, Bargain, A Bloody Lucky Day, and Yonder; animated series such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, Blue’s Clues & You, The Loud House, and The Casagrandes; animes like Jujutsu Kaisen, Solo Leveling, Kaiju No. 8, Haikyu!!, My Hero Academia, SpyxFamily, DanDaDan, and Frieren, among others. 

    Sports fans can also stream their favorite events live and on-demand for free, including WWE SmackDown and WWE Raw (World Wrestling Entertainment), UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), NFL (National Football League), NHL(National Hockey League), and WTA (Women’s Tennis Association), where Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala competes. BlastTV also brings combat sports like BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, partly owned by MMA legend Conor McGregor) and Cage Warriors, along with football from the National Women’s Soccer League, as well as one of Europe’s top basketball leagues that produced talents like Luka Dončić, Arvydas Sabonis, and Marc Gasol, the Liga ACB.

    “This is our gift to every hardworking Filipino. We’re hoping that BlastTV, being free with some of the best movies, TV shows, and live sports in the world, can somehow make their days better. And, with the app available on every device, we wish to be their companion from their early morning commutes to being part of their homes when they finally end a long day with their loved ones,” said BlastTV President and CEO Celinda De Guia.

    Some of BlastTV’s international titles are dubbed in Filipino, or what the platform calls “Pinoy Dub,” allowing Filipinos to connect more deeply with the global stories. The streaming service aims to localize a wider library of Pinoy-dubbed titles in the future.

    Celinda de Guia also expressed TapDMV’s plan to produce original local content as part of their long-term vision. “Filipino stories are at the heart of why we do what we do, so we also want to serve them with narratives that actually reflect their experiences,” the president and CEO added.

    Building on its efforts to expand local content, BlastTV announced last August the addition of two local news channels, Bilyonaryo News Channel and Abante, to its live TV lineup. They are also committed to supporting local Filipino sports leagues, providing a platform for homegrown talent to shine on a national stage.

    Disney+ to Premiere Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Final Show and Docuseries on December 12

    The queen of reinvention returns—this time, with the grand finale of a record-breaking tour and a docuseries that gives fans everything they’ve been waiting for.

    Get ready to relive the magic. Fresh off the explosive success of her latest album The Life of a Showgirl—which shattered records with over 4 million equivalent album units in the U.S. alone—Taylor Swift is once again redefining what it means to be a global icon.

    On December 12, two must-watch events are set to premiere exclusively on Disney+:

    Together, they form the streaming event of the year—an emotional, spectacular, and behind-the-scenes look at one of the most iconic tours in music history.

    Go Behind the Music in The End of an Era

    What does it take to build the most talked-about tour of the decade? The End of an Era gives us answers—and then some.

    This six-episode docuseries, directed by Don Argott and co-directed by Sheena M. Joyce, offers fans a rare glimpse into Taylor’s life on and off stage. Expect candid moments, creative processes, and emotional highs (and lows) that shaped the tour.

    It also shines a spotlight on the people closest to her:

    • Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter
    • Acclaimed singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams
    • Grammy-winning collaborator Ed Sheeran
    • Indie rock icon Florence Welch

    Their stories, reflections, and behind-the-scenes memories provide emotional depth and personal warmth to an already massive spectacle.

    New episodes drop every week, two at a time, beginning December 12.

    Witness the Final Bow in The Final Show

    The Final Show is more than just a concert film—it’s the ultimate celebration of Taylor’s artistic evolution.

    Filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, the final night of the Eras Tour is presented in full cinematic glory. What makes it extra special? For the first time, the film includes the entire live performance of The Tortured Poets Department—a segment that was only added mid-tour after the album’s release in 2024.

    This visual experience, directed by Emmy-winning producer Glenn Weiss and brought to life by Taylor Swift Productions in partnership with Silent House Productions, captures the tour’s emotional crescendo and musical grandeur.

    Whether you missed the tour or want to relive it from the best seat in the house—your couch—this is your chance.

    The Powerhouses Behind the Production

    The creative dream teams behind both projects are as accomplished as the artist herself:

    Their combined storytelling brings a sense of scale, intimacy, and emotional resonance to every frame—making this more than a viewing experience; it’s a cultural moment.

    From folklore to stadium tours, from heartbreak anthems to genre-defying records, Taylor Swift continues to shape the music industry and modern pop culture.

    With The End of an Era and The Final Show, she’s opening the vault once more—only this time, it’s not just songs. It’s vulnerability, vision, and the behind-the-scenes brilliance fans rarely get to witness.

    So set your reminders, gather your Swiftie circle, and prepare your popcorn.

    This December 12, Taylor Swift takes over Disney+—and history repeats itself.
