Too overwhelming, but Mystic Pop-Up Bar I will be watching. I am anxious how Stranger 2 will turn out. There are other ones I will be eyeing maybe after they air.
All great movies, but I think May 18th stands out the most to me. If you haven’t you should give Sandglass (1995) a try. It is a korean drama about those turbulent times 70s and 80s but through two friends eyes.
Pretty cool that you're fluent in Korean and Japanese. Are you self-taught from watching Asian TV & cinema?
It also depends how you learn the language as there different methods out there each good in their respective ways. It is correct 4000-5000 words is essential to know to get an idea of what is written or said, but you will still have to look a couple words here and there for meaning. I would say 6000-8000 words is when you start to get command of the language and do not need to look up words. The English language has over 180,000 word, but guess how many words Koreans have over a million, while the Japanese have over 5 hundred thousand. The good thing is you do not need to know all the words only 10,000-15,000 words should be sufficient. You are already doing right short sessions 20-30 minutes a day. Listen to the language and like me find a person you can converse with to improve. If not speak a loud to yourself. Mistakes will happen but practice practice practice pays off in the long run.

Yes, self-taught plus I could converse and practice with my Dry Cleaning lady who is Korean. Japanese took a little longer for me. My High School did not offer Korean or Japanese as languages only Spanish, Italian, German, French, Russian, Portuguese. No Asian languages. It did take me about seven-year years to become fluent fully. Writing on the other hand you can forget about it. Today, I am learning Chinese, but it is just a little more difficult than Japanese and Korean, but I am up for the challenge.
My journey started back in 2003. Hollywood Cinema led me to Asian Cinema that led me to Dramaland. It all started with the film The Last Samurai (2003). My story is discussed on my profile. page. Here I am fluent in Korean and Japanese.
Too bad I cannot watch this for a month considering restrictions in my geographic area. Fujiwara Tatsuya is a great actor, but Takeuchi Ryoma is exceptionally fine too.
