A masterclass in character acting in "Crash"

Made me laugh every time too! I was just posting with the question, any count on how many different characters she's played in this?

Netflix Oceania from today.
BUT I really hope the first 5 minutes isn't an indication of the whole show. The simplistic and shockingly generalised representations of 'brain types' (e.g. hypersexualised) under the banner of neuroscience 🤔 Actually is just embarrassing. Did they do ANY research? Or are we meant to just accept all of this hokum pseudo-science as a comedic trope?

Except neither of them have confirmed yet.

I totally respect your comments. The semantics of 'therapy' language are very much in a transition at the moment. It's no longer just in the domain of clinics - it's in everday lexicon. I can't tell you how many times I've heard 'intrusive thoughts' on youtube, let alone 'narcissist'. It's great that people are discussing the meanings of trauma. But translation is always one of the underlying complications here on MDL

I agree, I think maybe the translation is not quite right. 'Anxiety' or maybe 'stage-fright', to me reads more realistically than 'trauma'

I am writhing with envy RN. Cannes... Early screenings...
But really, I hope you had an awesome time!

Never imagined that the work life of an auditor, was drama-worthy, but this actually sounds interesting! And Lee Jung Ho is always worth watching.

Yep. Connection. I am a fan of Kim Kyung Nam but it's NOT available in Australia on Viki. Kocowa has made a deal with Paramount+ to release Kdramas. So we wait. And save up for another OTT platform, in the hope that Oceania is part of that deal.

Very late reply... Musical Theatre is big in SK. He was probably in a production of Billy Elliot, staged in Seoul.

Hoping this gets an international release!

Please, if anyone gets news of international release (besides Cannes 🙄) of this film...please let me know.

I agree, he's an epically terrible father. You can have compassion for him with his depression, but I agree it doesn't excuse him from parenting. I-Na is extraordinary, without her superpowers, when you consider her lived experience.

I agree too. I find it frustrating that 'disordered eating' is generally represented by obesity, in Kdramas (and elsewhere); but the opposite end of the scale (sorry for the tasteless pun) is as much of an issue - anorexia nervosa and bulimia rates are serious and concerning in SK.
It's a relief to see this show take a more measured view and portray a subtly broader story.

OMG I-na has a smart-arse sense of humour 😂😂😂 She is my favourite Kdrama character atm.

"Because Ji Sung lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time, he suffered severe after-effects". The very important takeaway from this article.

Finally, finally a release date for this! It's a killer cast. Can't wait.

Announced by Variety to be eventually available on Paramount+

Isn't everyone!? 🤗

Just one example of the many, many things NOT available on Netflix in my region.
