My Name Deep Dive

AfterNoona Delight: KDrama Dishing and Deep Dives ·

2022/01/19

My Name is one of Netflix's newer K-drama offerings and takes a compelling look at the complex psychology of revenge. The compact eight-episode series is structured more like a novella and while it's grounded in some predictable gangster plot points, Han So-hee, Ahn Bo-hyun, Chang Ryul and Park Hee-soon bring character nuance to an otherwise brutal saga. If you have a hard time with violent crime noir--you might want to skip this one (although listen here to catch the high points), but if

We tried, folks. We really did. But our highly anticipated first drama of the new year, sadly, did not live up to our expectations. While this drama is visually stunning, a masterpiece of cinematography, we just needed so much more from the story and characterization. Join us on a journey to find out why this drama is all at once binge-worthy but also a hot mess of every sci-fi trope imaginable.

Taylor book, 7 Figure Fiction: How to Use Universal Fantasies to Sell Your Books to Anyone. Yes, we explain what Universal Fantasies are and how you can use them to determine which K-dramas will appeal to you.

Full deep dive to come, but we had to pop in to give you our initial reaction to the first episode of this highly anticipated drama. Will there be Imugi eggs at the Balhae Lunar Research Station? We can't be too sure. What we do know is this: The moon is full of canyons that lead to the abyss, a five-year-old sample of SOMETHING, and quite possibly--tigers.
