Please do! I did the same thing. It’s well worth it, I promise. The 1st story didn’t grab me and I put it aside. Did some research about the show and realized it was an anthology of many different stories. It gets very powerful as it progresses. Still think about it from time to time.

If you enjoyed these, you will love “When Life Gives You Tangerines”. A masterpiece. New #1.

I’ll have to check that out

Just finished Weak Heroes. It was very good and did not go the direction I originally thought it was going to go in. It’s very grown up for a teen drama.

New recommendations:

Activating Agent Kim - a very heart felt Taken like show with much more going on

Mercy for None - same actor, MUCH more violence and action, similar to John Wick

Really enjoyed that one. Looking forward to Mercy For
None, been hearing good things. Just finished, You and Everything Else. Didn’t think it was my kind of show but it was amazing, really grabbed me. The female leads were terrific.

It’s not Netflix but Viki has Six Flying Dragons, which hasn’t been available in the US for years. I highly recommend watching while you can. I think Viki offers a few weeks or maybe a month free but it would be worth the cost of a month or two to watch it.

You're so right, they really do have some great South Korean Shows.

I don't recall seeing We Are All Dead mentioned before, but it's still on Netflix. It takes place at a South Korean High School that is the epicenter of a Zombie Virus outbreak.
It's been several years since I watched it, but I remember liking it a lot.
Sort of a Kingdom meets The Breakfast Club for a goofy analogy.

Also, the actress, Park Eun-bin, that starred in the excellent Extraordinary Attorney Woo was also in a period drama, The King's Affection, that was enjoyable. It has a lot of Royal Court intrigue and shows off her acting range considering how different her characters are in those two shows.

Someone highlighted how good Crash Landing On You was early in this thread, and they were spot on with why it was so entertaining. The premise is a bit outlandish, but the show was so good in the execution of the plot with the character development. A very amusing show with a lot of witty banter.

The same Director who did Train to Busan directed a series, Hellbound, that was really interesting. It had 2 seasons. It's described on RT as, "Unearthly beings deliver condemnations, sending individuals to hell and giving rise to a religious group founded on the idea of divine justice."
