BTW - maybe don't get started on Korean series on Netflix, you will go down a rabbit hole
We have friends who suggested we try out some more, a great way to a lifetime of nightly binge-watching.
Some of them include:
"Business Proposal" - very popular romantic comedy, fun to watch (my wife and I are following that one right now)
Amazing how 2 prospective couples, who each meet other in the first episode, take 11 more episodes to finally get together.
Of course, the girls and the boys are best friends to each other, but separately meet by accident in episode one and fall for each other.
Also, in each of the two couples, one of the partners comes from humble beginnings, the other is a millionaire, so they can show off a bit of that "Crazy Rich Asians" vibe with lots of bling, cool but non-vegan food, and a different snow-white business suit or coat in every other scene.
"Hot Stove league" - Baseball-themed series with "Attorney Woo" actress Park Eu Bin. Might be for you if you love baseball.
"The King's affection" - Park Eu Bin again, this time playing two roles (identical twins, prince and princess) at the time of "Joseon dynasty".
They have really cool HATS. Seems that during that time, every man would wear a certain type of hat showing his social status.
"Kingdom" - supposed to be the Korean answer to "Game of Thrones", but it's ... ZOMBIES, of course.
Also with the cool hats. Interesting difference, Korean zombies are athletes and will run after you full speed. No safety here, but only at night, they stay dead during daytime.
"Vincenzo" - series about a Korean orphan, who got adopted in Italy by the head of a mafia family, became the "Consigliere" (head lawyer of a mafia family), and returns to Korea to escape his vengeful stepbrother after his fathers death. Initially wanting to just get a hoard of gold hidden in a dilapidated shopping mall, he ends up fighting for the residents of said shopping mall against the evil developers wanting to tear it down, using his combination of dashing good looks, Italian designer suits, legal wits and mafia-honed fighting skills.
C'mon, Korean lawyering (complete with corrupt district attorneys and judges), action and mafia ties, what's not to love?
"Korean Money Heist" - WHY would anybody take the Spanish series "Money Heist" and stage it again, identically, in Korea??? Why?
I guess Korean viewers don't like subtitled shows any better than American audiences...
