Live Up to Your Name
(2017 Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

A friend recommended this one, or it wouldn't have appeared on my radar. I have never seen the 2 leads before. Both were good, but I will actively seek work by Kim Nam Gil - the character change from when he's troubled or trying to be cool to being his real dorky character is amazing.

The story is a time-traveling (Joseon to Modern) rom-com. It has a lot of laughs, typical of someone finding themselves out of their own time. The romance is sweet and strong enough that I cried & sniffled quite a bit.

Watch it for fun, or spend your time thinking about the complex moral dilemmas this show brings up. Although it treats them with a light hand and doesn't beat you over the head about it, it does make you think about the good of the many over an individual, as well as medical ethics.

True Beauty (2020 Viki 16 1:15 eps)

Really liked this one! I was looking for something lighter. Although there's the necessary Kdrama trauma, it has a lot of tropes & the 2nd couple is really funny. I loved the play against stereotypes there. This is the 1st time seeing the 3 main leads and I adored them all. I couldn't decide which side of the love triangle I was rooting for. Lovely high school/college romance, wonderful supporting characters - I don't know when I've hated a mom as much.

Like "The Beauty Inside" it explores loving people no matter their appearance and being true to yourself.
