BEYOND THE PAGES: 5 JULY K-DRAMAS WITH STORIES THAT MATTER

Hello, FLY HIGH readers! 🪁

If you’ve been following my recent journeys here, you know how much comfort I find in the pages of healing fiction like Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, or in the profound psychological wisdom of Korean literature. Last month, I shared how JTBC's We Are All Trying Here -which I saw on Netflix - looked directly into my soul. It reminded me once again that TV drama, at its best, can be just as deeply human and moving as a great novel.

With July officially underway, a brand-new roster of Korean storytelling is arriving on our screens. While I don't post about TV lineups often,  a few upcoming releases caught my eye and I want to share them with you all.

SCREEN STORIES: WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE

 

 

Some dramas entertain you. Some make you cry. And then, once in a blue moon, a drama comes along that seems to look directly into your soul.

We Are All Trying Here is one of those rare experiences.

Heart-wrenching, healing, hilarious, and profoundly human, JTBC's latest drama explores a simple but painful truth: everyone is fighting battles we cannot see. Its Korean title translates roughly to "Everyone Is Fighting Their Own Worthlessness," and that theme runs through every moment of the series.
