I was about to drop Korean shows, this pulled me back.

A little note beforehand: This show is perfect if you've never seen a Korean show before and aren't accustomed to their cinematography! It's very accessible.

I study Korean, I'd honestly say I'm quite bad at it so for the past two years I've been manically watching Korean shows and films in order to keep my skill up to date and to get drawn to the language and culture.
There's an abundance of poor, rushed and just plain terrible Korean shows out there, this is definitely not one of them.

I won't make this review too lengthy but I liked almost every minute of the two seasons. The long political-talk scenes were perfect for grabbing some snacks, the action scenes truly thrilling.

This show has your typical 'hurt main character', done RIGHT!

Lastly: can I marry Bae Doona?

Weird. Intriguing. Familiar cast.

Let me just start of with saying that the soundtrack
of this film is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere, and scrolling to the end of the film to listen to it is starting to get dull.

I liked the ending and the first half hour best, the rest was confusing (boring, dare I say) and in the end it felt like there was still something missing. This does have to do with how much creative liberty was taken here.

The director did an excellent job at showcasing loneliness.

Edit: I had rated it two stars (4/10) but this film has lingered with me. Not all parts were good but I can't shake the feeling it gave me. All in all a very cool film.
