Okay this is not brain science nor twisty turns of some deep rooted pathology in our society- it’s not even a kdrama nor close as it’s not about surprising turns or romance, supernatural, or violence. (It’s about as American as it gets and is in English) I love all of the various shows and typically watch shows or movies that speak to some at depth psychological characters or society or some dystopian world that is frightening perhaps because sometimes the reality of today parallels current politics or policy at a lesser level, but its relevancy can be truly scary. This is a simple story of two women, without all of the variables we usually see- this is a happy, feel good movie that I was hesitant to watch as I usually watch serious shows that sometimes disturb me. I’m just drawn to them as I am with books, I somehow veer towards the complex pain of this world. This show is just the laugh I needed to take a break from all of that- and no it’s not some miracle show. It’s just a show that makes you laugh and feel good for a small moment in a world where media has evolved to mostly serious pieces or horror. This is not really about Asian/ Korean American sisters; it’s about anyone that has ever felt different no matter why and struggled and has family and it just feels good. Made me smile. This is far from what I usually watch, breaking bad, better call Saul, handmaids tale (at first but then it just goes on but the story parallels are too present to be unnoticeable), or GOT, or the many other shows I have enjoyed. I give it a high rating because it does not try to be something it is not- it’s just fun. Just laugh and enjoy and feel the lightness and warmth.
