A Life of Wonder

I’ve enjoyed several Korean television shows and movies we’ve watched recently. The dialogues are sharp and subtle, and they are as driven by character as they are by plot. Clearly that’s over-generalizing, presumably in a good way, but I’m sensing my emerging interest growing in this genre. I asked AI for a list of recommendations and would appreciate yours, if you know the genre well.
