This one is for the fans of John Wick and Greek tragedies
I have no better way to describe Your Name than that it is a tragedy following Aristotle's definition, with fight choreography on par with Chad Stahelski's so I had a GRAND time. The music is also great and has immediately been incorporated into my daily shuffle once I was done devouring this show (I couldn't leave the screen once I started).
In this fast-paced sanguine thriller, you follow people affected by hubris, who think they can best the Korean gods of the carceral system, corruption, and sexism. Of course it does not end well (although! i wish it'd ended even worse, but that's just the very last five minutes of the show). The show does not pull its punches, mediocre sex, sorry, love I guess, does not save the hero, the system is crumbling unto itself, cops are no better than gangsters, and we have a beautiful fight scene in a nightclub entrance that I regularly rewatch because it makes me giddy how good it is.
This show is honestly a UFO in terms of kdramas, and it is one of my top favorite TV shows period.
