Main actress IU is also an international pop star currently on a world tour. Her range is very impressive. “My Mister” is kinda deep/dark; also very well done.
I can see how you can argue for it as Noir, because it so closely resembles a Douglas Sirk film, so it is rooted in both German Expressionism and Melodrama, which sit either side of Noir.
Oh my God, I love this so much. Can we just do retellings of fairy tales in a noirish mode???
Looking forward to your discovery of K-Dramas.
Any recommendations?
There’s so many:
Any one of them really, is a good place to start; personal bias is with a wonderful young talent - IU:
My Mister
Hotel Del Luna
Songs of the Bandits
Okay, 'a hotel for dead souls'? I'm in.
