VIP (2019)

Really worth watching

[10/10 · 15 February 2023]

The soul-destroying pain of infidelity on a loving couple. The lives that are shattered after, and due to age may never be the same. The years that went into love, for it to not be looked at in the same way afterwards. The sacrifice of love for fleeting emotions.

This show hit me like a ton of bricks. I finished it a few days ago but I'm still thinking about it and especially about the aftermath of the main characters.

Choosing a partner and loving them is probably the most important decision we can make in our lives, but not many things in this world can be worse than cheating on your loving partner - this show made that clear for me.

I highly recommend it, there are many interesting sublopts and it exposes the secretive world of very rich people in Korea. But it's a must watch for the way it explores work, meaning, love, family and relationships, especially when one is in their 30s and 40s.

Flower of Evil (2020)

One of the best series I've ever seen

[10/10 · 29 January 2023]

This was way beyond my expectations. There are so many emotions throughout the series, so many topics, genres and subplots. The characters are great, the writing is also great and the exploration of genetic/cultural antisocial behavior is amazing. The positive/negative role that society can play in the development of young, marginalized people has to be seen. Most of all, there is a deep, deep love between the 2 main characters that is exemplary and a joy to witness. The acting between all characters is really, really good. The extent to which parents can go to in order to protect their children, even if it isn't the right thing to do, is also really worth watching. I recommend this series to anyone who loves kdramas or dramas of any language/genre.

Our Blues (2022)

Beautiful

[10/10 · 23 June 2022]

What a beautiful drama. Everything was done subtly, realistically, with simplicity and yet lots of depth. I don't think there's ever been a better cast in a Korean drama, the list of A-list stars in this is hard to believe at first. Episode 15 is a must watch, could probably be seen on its own.

My Mister (2018)

Must watch

[10/10 · 24 May 2022]

Best show I've ever seen, it's the best thing that's on Netflix. It's been months and I still think about it often. It's a show that moves you, makes you care more about others, makes you want to be a better person for your friends, family, loved ones and for yourself.
