Sweet and somber, recently finished the shows Miss Night and Day and Gap-Dong
Lately I've been bouncing between dark and so sweet they'll make you sick shows, with my latest watches being a good example of this.
Gap-Dong's a Korean thriller/mystery about an old unsolved serial murder case that begins to stir again with a new set of copycat murders. A few of the main characters are people that were involved with the original case and have been determined to solve it. If you're into this genre, it's okay but I wouldn't say it's great.
I think the most interesting element of it may be seeing how they try to grapple with the original murderer and their copycat that's appeared 20 years later.
It was enjoyable enough to keep me watching, and only a few episodes really seemed to drag to me.
Miss Night and Day is oddly enough a little similar to Gap-Dong, in that there's an unsolved case involved, but it's a romance comedy instead of thriller. Mainly it's about a woman that's struggling to find work and when she's about to give up, she suddenly wakes up to find herself appearing old during the day and young at night.
Amusingly enough she finally finds work with her older appearance and from there the show is an odd, sweet bunch of hijinks.
It was a solid palate cleanser from the dreariness of Gap-Dong, and while I'm not as avid a viewer of rom coms as thrillers, I think Miss Night and Day was also pretty good. Maybe not for those into pure rom coms with the mystery throughout, but that made it more enjoyable for me personally.
So if you're into Korean shows, there's a couple you might check out depending on what you're into lately, whether sweet or somber.
