Five Stars

wow, the hostage situation.thanks to the viewers who shared that this was a real life event that shockingly was broadcast live on TV all over Korea at the time. and the facts of the scene were almost as accurate as what happened to the hostage-takers.there's also a movie based off it, which i am going to watch.now i understand why 1988 has been a feature year in two dramas that did well. one was Reply 1988, and then this. it's because Korea hosted the Olympics Games at the time, and without my knowing, they acted exactly like the government of Brazil when they hosted their own Olympics.they chased poor people out of their shabby neighborhoods. good Lord!now that i am going further into this and seeing the charm of it, i am understanding all the praises for it. compared to Reply 1988, this drama is definitely more to my taste. would be so nice if there's another drama in the future that also base itself off the year 1988 and tell the stories surrounding this huge government scandal around the hosting of the Olympics.something like Snowdrop? yet to check that one out.writers putting out scripts that include serious social/historical critique are truly commendable!
