Enfnts Terribles

Romance is a Bonus Book

Cha Eun Ho, played by Lee Jong-suk, is a successful writer and editor at a publishing company. When he was a child he was saved from being hit by a car by Kang Dan-i, performed by Lee Na-young. When Kang Dan-i applies for a job at the publishing company and becomes Cha Eun Ho’s roommate, their longtime friendship slowly starts to develop into something more.

Most romcoms makes us roll our eyes after five minutes, but not this one. However the title is a bit over the top, we can’t wait till the next episodes appear on Netflix. There’s a great balance between the funny and more serious scenes, the actors are great and so damn well-dressed. Let alone on a fashionable level, this K-drama deserves a ten.

Mr. Sunshine

Unlike the other series, Mr. Sunshine is a historical K-drama. It’s set in Hanseong, the former name of Seoul, and portrays activists fighting for Joseon’s (now North and South Korea) independence.

Eugene Choi (Lee Byung-hun) is born into slavery and flees to the United States as a young boy after traumatizing personal events. He only returns to Joseon many years later as a US Marine Corps officer. When he meets Go Ae-shin, the daughter of a wealthy local aristocrat, he falls in love with her and the duo gets entangled in a complicated relationship. While figuring out their personal feelings, they also fight for Korea’s independence.

As we mentioned before, through films and series there’s so much to learn. We honestly completely forgot that the Kingdom of Joseon ever existed, there might even be a chance that we just never knew. Mr. Sunshine gives us insight into the young Korean Empire, before it was brutally split into two.

Romance is a Bonus Book, Something in the Rain and Mr. Sunshine are now available on Netflix.
