It's an absolute masterpiece But...

If you're more into just Swoony romance and Rich chaebols in your shows then you might not like this one.

Also The show didn't do great in ratings(averaging around 1 percent viewership) because it's not part of the major TV broadcasting studio like KBS(ratings range in 2 figures).
And smaller studios (like JTBC) ratings range in around 3 to 5 percent on a good day.
Despite that, it's a criminally underrated show.


It's A very character driven show. And the leads are very relatable. The drama described itself the best, as the main lead is writing the show which is the story we the viewers are watching.(Things will be fine when you are Thirty)

But it's never really a fourth wall break. Rather Just a peak at the fourth wall which makes it more fresh

It's deeply poignant in places and hilariously funny throughout its run.
Like seriously funny, the show uses dry humour but it doesn't feel as dry as British dry humour and has a very nice balanced feel to it.

The OST is so organically a part of the show and is the most fitting with the shows story and brand of funny.

The monologue by characters are really thought provoking.

If you liked "age of youth"(hello my Twenties) or Reply series (Answer me series). You'll love this one for sure.

If you didn't. Well.. This one's not for you.

Also the PPL in this one's is actually really funny as most of the time it's under some reference (since one of the lead works in marketing).

It's it's own brand of genius.

Sea Fog is Brilliant

I went into this blind and didn't know about the director, the writer or even the fact that it was produced by Bong Joon Ho himself.

I had book marked it probably cuz of Han Yeri as whatever few drama/film I had seen of her, she was pretty great in the acting and general emoting.

The movie if you don't know too much about it gives a disaster movie vibe as the setting is very much that.

However the movie takes a dark turn midway and hits all the boxes of a fantastic film. Specially how information is conveyed or rather not conveyed. The most pivotal part of the movie just happens before you know it and all you get to see is the aftermath.

The movie also taps into the psyche of the crew here. Although going any further would mean spoilers. So I'll hold off.

There are a few sexual scenes but not much is visible but definitely not something you would wanna see with your parents or kids around (or maybe you do)

The characters are rough and swear like sailors, and that's cuz they are.. well, sailors.

If you like your polished and cherry on top movie, you could maybe avoid this. But that doesn't mean the film is dark for the sake of being dark. A lot of it is decently profound and also inspired by real life events(some of it)

Oh also apparently a k-pop idol has a sex scene in it which made all the braindead stans give bad reviews to this film. I reckon that was a bigger tragedy to witness than what happens in the film.

Anyway. Watch it
It's good.
