      Okay I want you to review all the netflix kdramas from now on because your descriptions make me understand much better if I’m likely to enjoy it. Thank you for the detailed response!

      Have you seen Mystic pop up bar? Or tomorrow? Both are about the after life. Mystic pop up bar is more fun and lighthearted, any romance is very much a B or even C plot.

      Tomorrow definitely delves into societal problems and Japanese history more because it’s about souls trying to stop suicides. No romance.

          Haha I have seen those and I’m not sure I agree these kdramas really fit into that theme, I’d closer classify it to something like Supernatural than American Gods but fair enough and I trust you know enough to know what you don’t like! And I suppose Supernatural could even be in that category for you too lol. I guess what I mean is the mythos is background noise, just a setting and tool to explore the characters and their relationships. But yeah, that’s just me rambling not trying to convince you otherwise sorry.

          The Good Place is fantastic and I’m glad you experienced that!

      Sci-fi is a genre of K-drama I’ve never engaged with, but your description of “Sisyphus” has me intrigued! I’ll have to check it out next time I’m on Netflix.

        Sisyphus is really great. You should also check out Alice (not to be confused with Alice in Borderlands) on Netflix. It’s also a time travel series but its true strength comes from its characters and all the different story threads coming together (which reminded me of the first season of Heroes).

          Cool, thanks for the rec! I love when series do a good job of bringing multiple story threads together in a satisfying way.
