Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
You'll soon find yourself enthralled by the seaside town of Gongjin and its cast of oddball residents.

A close second, this show has everything from hilarious antics to serious eye-candy! Im Si Wan and Shin Sae Kyeong's cuteness will fix your aching heart!

3. Beautiful Vampire
Korean Movie - 2018
I have nothing but praise for this movie. Its enjoyability meter is over 9000 and Song Kang as ahimbo wannabe actor is so perfect it hurts. Pretty sure I will be recommending this to people until the day I die-- or at least until it achieves the 'cult-classic' status it deserves!

It's hard not to love a series this silly. What makes it even harder is the perfect casting and the excellent wine-pairing that is the soundtrack. Rest assured, you're in for a lot of fun!
