*** Second Shot at Love (2025) ***
(Viki 12 1:00 eps)

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

A mechanic who has to keep up with her colleagues' drinking, but alcohol starts to interfere with her life. When she moves back to her small town, she meets her 1st love, who turned away from her years ago. He's now the town's doctor & an expert on alcohol dependency.

Unique because it recognizes drinking as a problem, it's mostly from a female perspective & it addresses the many health consequences of drinking. Also nice that it allows for imperfection & discusses things not typical in K-Drama.

1st 3 eps. are torture with horrible drinking scenes & stupid choices. A pretty predictable story, with crazy small-town yelling, screaming, chasing, & hitting.

It's a great cast, though, with wonderful acting (for the most part). It's impressive in its stand against the drinking culture.

Seems I spoke too soon. The competition for the worst person award is fierce. WTH, blaming someone's child for their parent's actions?!?!

Worst person award goes to Seon Hwa. The stigma against divorced people, especially with children, in SK is disgusting (I assume there is a kernel of truth in the depiction as the theme was central in One Spring Night).

Anyhow, way to not support your supposed "best friend" jeeeez.

I'm going to quote someone from MDL:

"This show is good and boring at the same time."

Don't know why I keep watching… but I do. 😅
