NEEDS MOAR POPCORN.
Oh my what the fuck. Twice.
I've come to the conclusion that Korean television is the best thing EVER. How has it taken me this long to become aware of the EPIC WEIRD coming out of Korea?
First up? Ghost. It starts out looking like a regular cop show, but focused on the cybercrimes unit. Then, about ... 3/4 of the way through the first episode, all hell breaks loose, and the weird keeps getting weirder through all 20 episodes. I don't even know where to start explaining it, without bursting into spoilers, but it begins with the apparent suicide of a pop star, which turns out to be a murder, and the murder leads out into corporate espionage and more murder... Also, everything is relevant. God. Damn. Everything. (Pay attention to dude's shoes. You will know which shoes when you see them.)
(And I totally ship Kim Woo Hyun/Park Gi Young. Because by mid-season, you can't not. I mean, who the fuck gets into tickle-fights with their dorm mate, and still calls themselves straight after? Really. And Park Gi Young/Yoo Kang Mi, because dude... this one is just kind of creepy, when you put all the pieces together, but also kind of inevitable. It also doesn't happen on-screen, probably because of how fucking creepy it is.)
Next on my list? Vampire Prosecutor. ... ... You wish I was kidding.
