Freestyle: Best Episode

Every so often, an individual episode of a show is so electrifying that it’s worth singling out on its own. For me, episode 6 of My Dearest was one of those. It was brutal and hard to watch, but it was also utterly uncompromising in showing exactly how the caste and gender ideologies of Joseon undermined it every bit as much as any foreign invaders. It was a brilliant piece of storytelling, and while the rest of the show never regained the same laser-focused intensity, it alone was more than most shows attempt, much less achieve.

    Episode 4 had been great, but then Episode 6 was more than great. It’s one of the best episodes I have watched in a TV show, regardless of the country of production.

      The one good thing about a rewatch is one knows exactly what to watch and that is so satisfying. My Dearest was mesmerizing at its best and I have a fresh stock of amnesia inducing wands for the rest. 🤣
