Well, we’re in the ‘90s, of that there can be no doubt. The whole aesthetic of Typhoon Family reflects the period in which it’s set, but it’s not all in service of chintzy nostalgia.

The ending of The Woman in Cabin 10 has the curious distinction of being both too silly and ridiculous to be believed but also nowhere...

Given what The Woman in Cabin 10 is about and where it’s set, it’s hard not to feel like it misses some open goals. A...

The Resurrected is an exercise in endurance from beginning to end, but the ending itself is particularly guilty of compounding one awful revelation on top...

If there’s a right month to resurrect a person, it’s probably October. Netflix is certainly banking on this, anyway, since their nine-part Taiwanese original The...

Don’t let me keep you in suspense. Yes, Bon Appetit, Your Majesty has the happy ending everyone wanted. Episode 12 isn’t about historical realism or...

It’s Episode 11, aka the penultimate instalment of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, and finally, the K-Drama is starting to act like a show with some pretty significant threads to wrap up that can’t afford to waste three episodes on a cooking contest.

And of course, it all comes down to a fight. This seems fitting for the ending of Mantis, which is about the battle for leadership...

2023’s Kill Boksoon became one of the most successful South Korean Netflix Original Films ever, somewhat unexpectedly. It was good, an action-packed assassin thriller with...
