Moviebuff2019

I've been watching Asian drams since 2017 when Netflix started adding them. I'm a 65 year old white American male , so if I like it, anyone can like this show. I have watched many excellent ones like Pachinko, Meteor Garden, Rational Life, etc. But this one is my favorite.

Such a realistic story, never a fake moment. The chemistry between the leads is unmatched. Zhao Lusi is a very talented actress and I am now watching 3 of her other shows !

I'm only on episode 17 of 25 and look forward to the rest of the series. Easily a 10/10.

Rarely does a show make me laugh and bring tears to my eyes, but this one does.

The story of young Korean going back to their hometown to find romance is common recently and the story started off fine. But the lead male and female characters just didn't seem to connect. The aunt wearing sunglasses 100% of the time became annoying. The little sister was very annoying. The mother popped in, was unlikable and disappeared. But I even made it to episode 7 and then bailed when Eon Seop went up the mountain , then had some sort of mental breakdown, then blew off Hae Won who was nothing but kind to him. The constant flashbacks to bullying and parental abuse turned me off so I bailed on the show.

If you want a better version of the same theme check out Summer Strike or Once Upon a Small town, both on Netflix.

Ok, so the first epsiode was pretty decent, maybe a bit silly at the end, but not bad. Then we go to grave robbers. Totally grossed me out, could not finish it. I said to myself, ok I'll give it one more shot, but the autopsy episode grossed me out way more than the rats. And I'm done

I was expecting black mirror, or old school HBO The Hitchhiker, but comes up way short. Never heard of the Guillermo guy and I found his accent hard to understand

guess I'm too old now for the explicit gore junk :( Netflix and other streamers have tons of good shows. New ones like "The Watcher", Reacher, Borgen, etc, Life is too short.
