My wife and I sat down to watch a show. Yay, right? It should have been a good time, and I was looking forward to it. But we decided to watching Shrinking, which is the top show on Apple TV right now and is classified as a comedy. We watched the first two episodes. It was singularly unfunny. I did not laugh at all, not even once. Wtf is wrong with the world today that we cannot make shows that are genuinely lol funny anymore?

Let me tell you about #kdrama!! Trust me, I barely chuckled at a lot of the Hollywood comedies, a bit more with Canadian, but still not much. I seriously laugh out loud at so many Korean dramas, even when the show has a generally serious theme. There is still wicked comedy tucked into it.

@EllenInEdmonton sounds like the perfect accompaniment to some Korean fried chicken, which I prob love too much for my own good. Is there one show in particular you could recommend for a newb?

There are so many good ones, but an excellent starter is Crash Landing On You, with the absurdity of a wealthy business owner paragliding into North Korea and falling in love with an army official in the village where she lands.
Also, if you want to enjoy some of our Alberta scenery, there is Can This Love Be Translated?, a show with some interesting quirks.

It seems that I sent that message before editing. My new instance has a much smaller character limit, so I have to think about my posts a bit more.
