The Heirs (aka The Inheritors)
(2013 - 20 1:00 eps) REWATCH

A classic I 1st watched in early 2023. Knowledge of language & culture made it even better. The episodes flew by as the spoiled illegitimate 2nd son fell for the poor girl & had to fight to love her.

Phenomenal casting of 3 proven leads early in their careers & the supporting actors (see hashtags) who have all had stellar careers. A screenwriter with several other highly-rated dramas (The Glory, The King: EM, Goblin...) The 3 leads & the show won many awards.

It has a lot of wrist grabbing which was common at the time. But the depth that these young actors portrayed is astounding. Lots of character development & we come to understand their pain & the reasons for their actions. Excellent!

Fight for My Way (rewatch)
(2017 - Viki, 16 1:00 eps)

4 friends in their late 20s with unrealized dreams & boring lives create a good friends-to-lovers story with incredible acting, a strong 2nd couple, & touching friendship.

A great Park Seo Joon role (he may be dressed better in others, but his acting shines here) - he plays a not-bright, vulnerable, desperate, yet talented man. Kim Ji Won is amazing. I also loved Song Ha Yoon's acting here - is she really the same actress as "Marry My Husband"'s villain? What a range.

A few tropes: a dark past, old enemies, & love triangles but since these are average people, it comes off differently. The 2nd couple's story is unexpected. There is romance & great MMA action, but the stars of this drama are young adults coming into their own, creating the lives they want for themselves, despite hardships.

My Liberation Notes
(2022 - Netflix, 16 1:07 eps)

A slow-paced, slice-of-life drama about 3 siblings who work in Seoul but live in the countryside & commute. See the comment about slow dramas.

At this pace with sparse dialogue, the acting has to be phenomenal to keep our interest & convey meaning - body position, a glance, a sigh, a gesture mean so much. No action, little romance, & characters that are annoying & unremarkable mean that the drama is the story & it delivers.

You wonder what is the point? Is this all there is? Will I ever know myself? How do I navigate a relationship without giving up myself? The development of the characters as they try to discover themselves & their purposes takes us on a journey as we ponder the same questions.

Detailed sound & cinematography w/ interesting symbolism are great at contrasting the city & country scenes.
