I don’t know if they’ll do it again this year, but for the last 4 years Hulu has had a $2 a month for a year Black Friday deal. If they do it again it’s well worth $2 a month, even with commercials.

Wow, that’s a great deal! Hopefully they run it again this year. Thanks for the heads up.

I think eventually I will get around to watching 75% of recommendations on this thread.

I'm leaning towards Flower of Evil .
Don't think I've seen it mentioned on here.

Probably watch Ballerina over the weekend.

Just started Moving on Hulu. It’s based on some really popular webtoon. 8.6 on IMDB which is very good.

I just finished this and it was really good, thanks to you and the others for the suggestion. I always forget to check Hulu for K-Dramas, so no telling how much longer it would have taken me to find it myself.


*SPOILERS*





Even though it ended in a way that felt complete, based on the post-credit scenes I wonder if there will be another season. I had a feeling Frank would be alive, so it would be cool to see him switch sides, .

Also, I had been wondering what happened to the bullied friend but then she showed up as the director's boss which was a surprise. Would like to see more details/backstory about that.

Hotel de Luna was absolutely bonkers

Great show, I am surprised it took this long to get a mention. It is a combination ghost story, mystery story and romance.
It's about Man-wol, a bandit chief in feudal Korea (and a complete hottie), trying to atone for all the deaths she caused. She meets a demi-god who makes her the proprietor of a hotel for the dead.
Flash forward a thousand years, and Man-wol is bored out of her mind and waiting to move on. She catches a thief trying to steal from the hotel and she permits him to live in return for his son's services.
Flash forward another 20 years. The son, Chang-sung, is a young hotel executive about to start a new job when he runs into Man-wol, who forces him to work for her instead.
The series is about Chang-sung growing into his role as manager of the hotel, his developing relationship with Man-wol, various mysteries they solve, and flashbacks telling Man-wol's back story.
Definitely worth watching!

For any fans of the supernatural/ghost genre, Revenant on Hulu was pretty good in my opinion.

Flower of Evil is really good.

Finished it and did enjoy it.
Though one episode had way too much crying in it for my taste.Started to cringe when both characters were in the same scene.
Have to hand it to them,Koreans know how to cry pretty.
Thankfully it got back on track.

I originally started alchemy of souls.
But after seeing 3 people from Uncanny counters in the first 5 minutes I thought it best to put it off for a while.

Snuck in Vigilante and Narco Saints.
Good quick series.

We searched if there was a Korean Diehard for Christmas.
Found "The Tower" and gave it a go.
I'll stick with Diehard

Now 4 episodes into Alchemy of Souls.

GOAT show, gets better over the season

Death's Game is a new Korean show on Amazon. The basic plot is a guy pisses off Death when he dies, so Death inserts him into the bodies of people who will soon die and makes him live through 12 more deaths as punishment.

It's really hard to describe, it's almost like a super twisted take on Quantum Leap because as he jumps into different bodies he's got to figure out not only how to survive the situation, but to eventually beat Death at her game. There's a mix of lots of genres at play and it's just a well told story like a lot of these Korean shows. There's a bit of love story, a bit of family story, a bit of action thriller/mystery, and a bit of fight scene/car chase action. Also there were multiple twists along the way, often unexpected.

I’m also watching Welcome to Samdal-ri but I’ll finish Healer before going back to it.

My daughter is a photographer so we will probably end up watching that.

My next show will be The worst of Evil.

Definitely would love a 2nd season of
Woo to the Young to the Woo
