Korean Series
With strikes in Hollywood affecting TV programming we have discovered Korean programs on Netflix.
They have some very original plots with multiple clever surprises in them.
Most shows are dubbed in English, and the words spoken are synced so amazingly with the characters lip movement, so there are no instances of people moving their lips and no sound or sound and no lip movement. Technology in action I think.
We have some recommendations below should you seen anything that you think looks interesting.
Those in bold type are the ones we thought were the best.
And from Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) see Man vs. Bee, which is hilarious.
if you have recommendations of anything you liked, let us know.
