Song of the Bandits, a Netflix series starring Kim Nam-gil and Seohyun, mixes the violence of a Western with the melodrama of a Korean TV series. While promising, it ultimately sings a hollow tune.

The team behind The Penthouse return with K-drama The Escape of the Seven, a gleefully over-the-top high- society melodrama that follows seven miscreants after the disappearance of a teenage girl.

A remake of Taiwanese series Someday or One Day, Netflix Korean drama A Time Called You is a head-spinning time-travel romance with way too much going on.

Season 2 of Netflix’s fantasy K-drama The Uncanny Counter is disappointing, with the brash new characters never becoming fully formed, and adding little as the series winds down to a dull, uninventive climax.

Like a set of Russian dolls, Netflix K-drama Mask Girl has stunning layers that have been peeled away with each episode – but for all its brilliance, it has been let down by a predictable ending.

The Uncanny Counter season 2 on Netflix is showing signs of improvement – but the superheroes are caricatured and still not very likeable, and subplots meant to widen the show’s appeal are unnecessary.

Superhero fantasy series The Uncanny Counter was a huge success when it aired in 2020, but season 2 is nowhere near as charming. Perhaps it’s the bigger cast and budget, or the way it resorts to K-drama tropes.

Na In-woo, Kim Ji-eun and Kwon Yool lead Longing for You, a somewhat pedestrian K-drama series that seesaws between investigative thriller, family drama and love triangle.
