Heavenly Ever After is a K-drama that feels almost like a strange kind of fan fiction. The TV show tells the story of a woman who decides to stay physically 80 years old when she goes to heaven because her husband once told her she looks prettiest at her current age. The real reason the situation feels messed up, though, is that her husband decided to go back to being younger, but she stayed old. Somehow, even in heaven, this is an almost unaccepted relationship. Not because people gossip and stuff, but simply because it looks odd. In this episode, we see some adorable little animals because it reminds us that our pets have feelings too and that dogs are so loyal they’ll be with us even in the afterlife, or rather, be waiting for us. A lot of this show makes zero sense, like why there are people videotaping...

While the concept of Heavenly Ever After is pretty interesting, I feel like the execution was a little bit lackluster. Especially the first half of the 72-minute episode. I mean, it’s better than the 90-minute second episode of Resident Playbook, but I really think K-dramas need to start editing their episodes shorter now, because our attention spans are simply not up to the task of 1.5-hour TV episodes; we’d rather watch movies. Anyway, this show tells the story of an old woman who becomes a loan shark because her husband is bedridden. Soon enough, though, something very unexpected happens, which leaves her wondering if she’s made the right choice. Will she end up in the right place, but more importantly, will she make the right choice? Let’s find out in the first episode.

Comedy, romance, drama, true crime - but enough about my life. As it turns out, Netflix also has all of that in store for you this week. Get those blue blocker glasses and eyedrops ready, fam - it's binging time again!

It's so fun when Netflix adds a baker's dozen titles. It makes me think of fudge-drizzled French crullers, apple fritters, and raspberry-glazed yeast donuts. Yeah, my diet is going just fine. Why do you ask? Oh yeah, we're here to talk about movies and shows. My bad.

This week, you'll find a few old favorites, another dark and brooding Scandinavian thriller series, a mini-series masquerading as a documentary, a true-crime series, and a documentary on an American disaster—whew, can we lighten the mood here, please?

Oh, thank goodness, I see Tina Fey and Amy Poehler popping up. We also get a new Western series and a heartfelt Korean dramatic series,...
