How this season is filed
Watch Soo Hugh's adaptation of Min Jin Lee for scale without spectacle addiction: occupied Korea to Japan to America, multilingual craft, no simplification. Youn Yuh-jung, Kim Min-ha, Lee Min-ho, and Jin Ha do generations of work in a glance. Historical drama that sounds like people, not textbooks.
