Taken by Taken (2008): The Swordsman (2020) The Man From Nowhere (2010)

The past week was super busy and that will continue. To be frank, I haven’t felt any inclination to start any new K dramas. Nothing of late looks like a must-watch. I tried with Our Blooming Youth but that characters and the premise failed to grab me. Unlike other more recent sageuks, it lacks authenticity and worse still… dare I say it, it looks like it was done on a shoestring budget. In comparison to C dramas of this kind of which there are many, it feels rather bland — leaves me with a “been there done it” first impression.
