100man-kai ieba yokatta (2023)
Warms & breaks your heart
This is very much a tragic love story - in the Greek sense. I read a critic review available on here that completely bashed the show and called it a waste of time and I can't lie, I was very disheartened and almost dropped the show because if it.
I am however, very happy that I decided to watch it. The plot is nothing extraordinary but it does have suspense and a few interesting twists. This show talks about love, loss, morals, children, welfare as well as regret. It truly warms the heart and shows how people are not necessarily born in their family, they choose it. It analyzes relationships on multiple levels and really shows that even the good ones have a past and it might not pretty to look at.
Overall, I do highly recommend the show. It made me want to fall in love again and really put into perspective the complexity of humans and the importance of conveying thoughts and feelings.
Extracurricular (2020)
Not your typical kdrama
Honestly, this was great from beginning to end. At times it seemed surreal and raw - reminiscent of a a few great Korean movie directors.
There's always something going on, great acting, characters, cinematography. An overall dark atmosphere with the recurring themes being misery and broken dreams that run in circles around each other.
It's a breath of fresh air compared most dramas out there and it certainly leaves you with a very unique taste. Almost trantino-lile orchestration of events with a cataclysmic finale that although may leave us guessing, is still a proper ending.
I believe it's worth a watch!
