A House of Dynamite (2025). Bone chilling and for none of the obvious reasons.

Tried two episodes of Typhoon Family (k-drama, netflix).

Mostly because ever since Rain or Shine (melodrama-rom, with a background seemingly inspired by the collapse of Sampoong Dept. Store) I will try anything with Lee Jun-Ho (he's a member of 2PM/singer) in it as a lead.  King of the Land (pure rom com) was fun at the start but fell off for me midway and The Red Sleeve (rom-drama) was fairly decent even tho I'm tired of Joseon-era settings. Rain or Shine is the best (main lead) series of his imo, tho.

Anyway - this new one is more of a period/business/relationship drama+romance. The period is the late 1990's, so that's fine for me, during that era's  financial crisis. Rich boi loses richness/faces tragedy and tries to make it in the aftermath. It seems pretty good, but not sure it's fitting my mood.  I'll give it my usual 4 episodes try. Many at dramabeans seem to love it, so my reservation is likely my usual grumpy old fart-ness.   >.> 

Lee Jun-Ho and Kim Min-ha are both great tho.

Task - HBO, 3 episodes (hubby continued to watch another couple, but I wandered off)

Not bad. I thought there would be a little more, y'know, detective-ing and crime-ing, but it's well acted and mostly well written and spends a lot of time developing characters. A lot of family-drama vibes on top of the crime-drama. Definitely worth a shot if that's a genre one likes. If I don't get around to watching more of it, that's more about me and my attention span/lack of daily interest in watching TV etc.  Those first few episodes were certainly interesting enough.
