The year of 2023 took us on both new journeys and exciting familiar territories from Asian led films like Past Lives (2023) to the reinterpreted live action One Piece (2023) television series. As we engrossed ourselves in the stories, the endings had us wishing for more, something to remind us of the laughter and tears we shared watching those scenes. If you’re still chasing that feeling, EnVi‘s ACT!ON team has a curated list of goodies just in time for the holiday season. Whether you’re a devoted fan or just searching for the perfect gift for the film or drama buff in your life, our handpicked selection will be an entry ticket to a world where every gift tells a cinematic tale.
Moving (2023) — Adidas Sambas
Step back into the super powered world of Moving (2023) with a pair of Adidas Sambas, similarly worn by everyone’s favorite new girl, Jang Huisoo, played by Go Younjung. These sneakers are the perfect combination of stylish and comfort which Huisoo’s father Jang Juwon, played by Ryu Seungryong, was seeking in support of his daughter’s efforts to go to college. The action scenes in this Disney+ series may have captivated the audience at first, but the tender simple moments such as Hyesoo discovering her father’s gift were why so many viewers kept tuning in each week.
Past Lives (2023) — Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Vinyl Disc
With this vinyl disc of the film’s soundtrack, dive back into the beautiful melodies that underscored this romantic drama film of two childhood friends played by Teo Yoo and Greta Lee. Due to Nora and Hae Sung’s realistic circumstances they often contemplate the question of “What if…?” to their relationship as they lead separate lives that never seem to intersect over the course of 24 years. This vinyl will allow its listener to appreciate how the film wove music throughout the characters’ pasts and presents, perfectly combining the storytelling and aesthetics.
One Piece (2023) — Straw Hat Crew Jolly Roger Holiday Sweater
Get cozy with a festive knit sweater adorned with the iconic Straw Hat Crew’s Jolly Roger combining holiday cheer and the swashbuckling excitement of this year’s beloved live adaptation of One Piece (2023). Whether you’re a fan of the anime or the new series, each stitch on this holiday sweater brings the warmth of the show’s heart to life.
Quiz Lady (2023) — Scattergories Board Game
Inject laughter and lively competition into your gatherings with Scattergories, just like sisters Jenny and Anne played by Sandra Oh and Awkwafina in comedy film Quiz Lady (2023). Perfect for family game nights or a nice night in with friends, Scattergories promises hours of entertainment in a race of wit and knowledge. Embark on a journey of fun and bonding just as Jenny and Anne learned to do as they juggled their estranged relationship and wacky obstacles. With a dash of friendly rivalry and banter, this game is a great gift for all.
Twinkling Watermelon (2023) — Fender Acoustic Electric Guitar
Capture the melodic essence of Twinkling Watermelon (2023) with a guitar that resonates the youthful sound of the show. Although the main characters of this musical time-traveling Korean drama were often seen playing electric guitars in their band, the most heartfelt scenes on the show feature acoustic guitars to convey emotional moments. This acoustic electric guitar by Fender is the best of two worlds, allowing its user to perform with a classic sound while still being plugged in, a harmonious nod to the series’ blending of the simplicity of the 1990s to our modern present day.
Warm wishes and happy holidays from EnVi’s ACT!ON Team!
