    Love Next Door
    (2024 - Netflix 16 1:20 eps)

    A neighborhood friend moved abroad for several years, but then quit her job & returned to Korea. She meets her old friend again & they resume their old bickering habit.

    The directing is amazing, frequently one scene cuts to a contrasting one (fighting/loving, sad/happy, rich/poor) or parallel one (between couples, in time) - extremely well done. The acting is stellar. The 2nd couple is sweet & funny & the children are *amazing* actors. The parents' friendships & personal paths are interesting & enrich the story.

    Symbolism again plays a big role. The FL's name means pomegranate & she gives the ML a pom tree as a gift. The tree foreshadows events that take place. The ML's name means victory & filial duty which fits his character well. Food plays a big role & I think even the onggi pots we learn about have a deeper meaning.

    The Third Charm (continued)

    Much of the show is about power imbalances in relationships. Who confesses first? Who loves more? Who is willing to sacrifice more? There is SO MUCH symbolism in this show, some profound dialogue & 1 scene involving an apology, forgiveness & reconciliation with no dialogue - just beautiful. Seo Kang Joon can tell a story with his eyes.

    Many didn't like the ending. It's one where, if you follow the symbolism & where the leads are in their lives, it makes complete sense. If you hadn't been looking for clues, you might be disappointed. I want to go back & catch all the things I missed when I was hating it. It may seriously become 1 of my favorite heart-wrenching dramas.

    The Third Charm
    (2018 - Netflix, 16 1:15 eps)

    Wow!
    It has a 6.7 rating on MDL, so I had been putting off watching, even though I enjoy Seo Kang Joon's acting. After I saw Esom in another drama, I thought I'd try.

    Around eps. 4 I was going to drop it, which I rarely do. I hated the main characters. But I kept going: 1) I had seen the leads' work before & couldn't believe they would have accepted parts like this. I was right. The characters improve so much. 2) Part of this drama is set in Portugal. I am visiting in a few months & I wanted to see it through a kDrama lens. Totally worth it - so beautiful!

    The FL has a lot of tragic things happen in her life, one of which hit close to home for me & caused a lot of crying - therapeutic.

    See comment for more about the show.

    Because This Is My First Life
    (2017 - Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

    Unique storytelling made this a standout. It's a slice-of-life drama concerning love & marriage that was presented in a quiet but fresh way. The narrative & dialogue surprises you frequently when its simplicity becomes profound. The casting & acting was excellent.

    3 adult relationships develop through the show. We see 3 women in different job situations being affected by the patriarchy. But we also get to see men oppose it. It is rare to see a woman being allowed to be smart, cute, sexy, strong, & determined - especially all in 1 character.

    Unfortunately, there is 1 thing that ruined the flow toward the end. Overlooking that it was a good drama with some great messages.
