Shows I’ve watched recently (February 2023)

• Little Women (2022), Netflix 12-episode, K-drama, excellent — references a lot of Korean culture and history (military dictatorship and corruption of former president Park Chung-Hee), secret societies, how the rich & powerful can get away with almost any crime in Korea, but eventually how the good can prevail, a tumultuous rags-to-riches story that is a remake of a 19th century novel by the same name, director of Vincenzo, reddit review
• The Glory (2022), Netflix 6-episode (1 of 2 parts) Korean-drama, excellent — themes of extreme class divides (see: gapjil), justice and revenge for a victim of bullying
• Kaleidoscope (2022), Netflix 8-episode heist, can be watched in “any order,” decent
• Half Bad (2022), Netflix 6-episode (not renewed) YA book adaptation, barely watchable
