A Shop for Killers
(2024 - Hulu/Disney+ 8 0:51 eps )

A suspenseful, action-packed, violent (but appropriate) story of an uncle who is involved in shady dealings, dying & leaving his 20-something niece alone to protect herself & resolve these shady dealings.

She has to learn who to trust. The FL (at all ages) is acted phenomenally. She lives such a complicated life & conveys all the emotions without much dialogue. The familial bond with Lee Dong Wook can be felt through the screen.

Very well acted, with beautiful fighting, great music, unique gadgets & weapons, surprising villains & allies. The mystery is smart & fresh and will keep you guessing.

It has closure, but does allow for the story to continue. Crossing my fingers for a 2nd season!

Goblin
(2016 - Viki, 16 1:22 eps)

Lived up to its high rankings on MDL & Viki. *Beautiful* cinematography, iconic scenes referenced in many other dramas, great acting, tropes, humor, the best bromance ever, great 2nd couple, coats galore, outstanding OST, past lives, supernatural beings, agony, joy, & fate.

Most complaints are about the age difference between the leads. The actors were 37 & 25, but Kim Go Eun played a high schooler so convincingly that it felt a bit uncomfortable. She ages 10 years in the show & he doesn't, so it worked for me.

How long do you atone for past sins - especially in a previous life? How long must you carry the guilt? Are some sins unforgivable? What would you sacrifice for love? The show brings up a lot of weighty questions. The writing is mesmerizing at times & very witty.
