[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the series Like Flowers Over Sand (2023-2024) starring Jang Dong-yoon, Lee Joo-myung and Kim Bora written by Won Yoo-jung and directed by Kim Jin-woo. Grace appreciates the show’s balanced tone and especially the brilliant performance of Jang Young-nam who also appears in Captivating the King. Grace notices a pattern of K-dramas showcasing slower-paced rural living favored over the fast-paced, ambitious and anxiety-inducing city life of Seoulites among young people lately, and takes it as a sign of health in South Korea’s socio-cultural collective psyche.
