Review: To Live (活著) (1994)

Ah, this was another of those quintessentially Chinese stories. To Live was a story about a family as they struggled through the political turmoil of China, encountering woes but learning to keep moving forward.

Dropped: When the Camellia Blooms (동백꽃 필 무렵) (2019)

I had told my coworker that I didn't really watch any Korean dramas. She recommended this Kdrama to me because she said that people who weren't into Kdramas enjoyed it as well.

Some spoilers?
