*** Rented in Finland (2024) ***
(Viki 10 1:30 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

"Reality" - 4 actors in Finland staying in various rented rooms. The 1st place doesn't have electricity or running water & only 1 actor knows how to cook. Although Cha did get a couple of lessons from mom beforehand.

These guys have great chemistry & many funny moments. They learn a lot about appreciating nature & conveniences.

Not fond of the "he's so handsome" narrative about Cha. That's not what the show is about. It felt like he had the responsibility for the whole show on his shoulders at times. The other actors were also very talented & each brought a unique take on situations. I felt this diminished them slightly.

Loved watching them learn to shop & cook, fish, make a fire, pitch a tent, & take a sauna. It's a very relaxing watch & now I want to go to Finland!

A slice-of-life story about 5 families on the same street where the kids have spent their youth together. We arrive when they are finishing high school We live through the challenges of discovering their paths in life, developing relationships, maintaining their friendships, parents aging, & more. It was interesting to learn about baduk players & some laws & ideas about which families could marry.

It was a WOW! 1 of those where these characters will live with me forever. So touching, I teared up at almost every episode, but I also laughed. Phenomenal acting, beautiful writing & what seems to be very authentic set design creates an unforgettable show. [See comment]

The time-shifts gave us enough mystery to make slice-of-life compelling - it was so well done. & the OST is also great.
