Okay I want you to review all the netflix kdramas from now on because your descriptions make me understand much better if I’m likely to enjoy it. Thank you for the detailed response!
Have you seen Mystic pop up bar? Or tomorrow? Both are about the after life. Mystic pop up bar is more fun and lighthearted, any romance is very much a B or even C plot.
Tomorrow definitely delves into societal problems and Japanese history more because it’s about souls trying to stop suicides. No romance.

Welp. Out with it, I guess: I have extreme fatigue with the urban fantasy “myth and legend is TRUE but in an ordinary and relatable way! What if Zeus was one of us, just a slob like one of us…” concept. I don’t know who to blame / give credit for kick-starting this ubiquitous trend; Probably the origin fission event was the early 2000s releases of Gaiman’s American Gods and Square / Disney’s Kingdom Hearts video game, and the critical threshold was crossed with Once Upon a Time. Back then the idea floored me and I couldn’t get enough of it, now I feel I’ve drunk my fill of it for a lifetime. Whatever remaining capacity for this stuff I had – “but what if it’s really funny and really clever and really profound and everything you like in a show, huh, what then?” – was taken care of by The Good Place. So, I’m sure those are very good shows, I’m just the worst person you could ask to appreciate them.
Haha I have seen those and I’m not sure I agree these kdramas really fit into that theme, I’d closer classify it to something like Supernatural than American Gods but fair enough and I trust you know enough to know what you don’t like! And I suppose Supernatural could even be in that category for you too lol. I guess what I mean is the mythos is background noise, just a setting and tool to explore the characters and their relationships. But yeah, that’s just me rambling not trying to convince you otherwise sorry.
The Good Place is fantastic and I’m glad you experienced that!
