M (1994)

This drama was like everything I would like to see in a modern drama today.
This drama just wow. The first 2 episodes were kind of boring and confusing to me but my god this story is really everything.
It's a little preachy being that the main conflict is brought on by the act of abortion but to me as a pro choice person I took the message in as "humans will throw away anything things selflessly".
The romance elements are chilling and captivating.
This has a kind of American soup opera feel to it with all the different rooms and sets but it's just enough. I would rather get a soup opera feel rather than a melodrama feel.
I got a hand of the box set for this drama at a Korean bookstore in Manhattan. I read on the back of it this is one the last episode had one of the highest ratings in kdrama history. I can understand why this drama kills in action, adventure, melo, romance and mystery.
IT'S PRETTY SCARY at times though.

Perfect Halloween K-Drama!

This is the oldest K-Drama I've seen. My first 90's K-Drama. A psychological sci-fi horror. A love letter to films like Jacob's Ladder and David Cronenberg films, it's hard to believe this B-horror gem aired nearly 30 years ago on Korean television, presumably late at night. If you've never seen a 90's K-Drama, I implore you to check this out. I can say with confidence you've never seen a K-Drama like this. I don't know if this could get made today. It's so unconventional.

I hope we get more 90's K-Dramas going forward as they're the most daring and unconventional. Highest recommendations for the experience.
