[Chua-Young’s Music Box] Music for the Purification Ritual of Wounded Youth: “Girls Band Cry”

I get hooked on the music in the film. Music sometimes conveys intimate feelings a character can’t fully express through the visuals alone—or through the lines you hear.

[Interview] “Who Do You Build for?” Director Lim Pil-seong, Part ② of “How to Become a Landlord in the Republic of Korea”

Last weekend, the show reached episode 8 and is now past the midpoint of its 12-episode run.
▶ 〈How to Become a Landlord〉 The interview with Director Im Pil-seong continues from Part 1. After episode 7, it felt like the ending was shaped by the director’s point of view. But it’s pretty rare for both the writer and the director to be making a drama together for the first time.
