I loved Northward so much that I'm finally going to start watching some more domestically renowned dramas focused…
I just happen to be watching Always on the Move (2024), so I would recommend that based on your desire for "focused on the life, family and youth themes." However, these are young adults not teenagers. It received multiple nominations from Golden Eagle and Magnolia awards, including a win for Best supporting actress.
He is an amazing actor. He never disappoints. Most here love him. I think there was one negative comment this…
I first came across him in The Rise of Phoenixes and was very impressed, then I saw him again in New Life Begins and I thought oh it's that same actor, he was really good in that one too. Recently, I checked out Always on the Move and yeah, he's definitely talented. Whatever drama he is in, he doesn't disappoint. He has ability to immerse himself in the character and shape the character with a lot of depth.
Did the bad guys think that by killing his entire family they can get it out of him because at that point, what does he have to live for, well, except he knows his son is still out there.
Would I be missing out on a lot if I don't watch Ancient Love Poetry first? I'd like to watch it if skipping it…
yes, you would miss out on another masterpiece and 49 episodes is not much for tens of thousands of years or more, and at least a dozen meaningful relationships between an amazing cast with great chemistry
