For those missing 'Tomorrow' I made a podcast episode talking about everything to do with this drama
https://open.spotify.com/episode/0THR3to4BswutU2T5G1cre
In this episode, let's chat about:
1. The plot of the drama, Tomorrow, & the interesting cast including Rowoon (who plays Choi Jun Woong) , Kim Hee Sun (who plays Koo Ryeon), Yun Ji On (who plays Lim Ryung Gu) and Lee Soo Hyuk (who plays Park Joong Gil).
2. Episodic dramas & Fantasy dramas. I talk about why Episodic dramas have the power to explore our human experiences. We also look at Grim Reapers, especially the world building of the Afterlife in this drama.
3. Why people end up going down dark paths. I look at all the reasons explored in the drama that contribute to suicide and discuss how they are portrayed in the drama. Issues include:
-Bullying
-Depression, failures & poverty
-Bad luck & death of loved ones
-Feeling like life is meaningless & making mistakes that can't be changed
-Not meeting societal expectations or pressures & eating disorders
-Feeling like a burden to others
-Guilt, trauma & sexual violence
-Isolation & burnout
4. The dramas realistic portrayal of sexual violence & victim blaming. I talk about how the drama does a good job of depicting some realistic negative experiences that victims of sexual violence often have to suffer through.
5. Criticisms of the show. I talk about how the show doesn't quite provide actionable solutions to the issues discussed and sometimes resolves issues a little too easily.
6. Ryeon & Joong Gil's Romance & The Ending. Closing off the episode with a discussion about the tragic story involving these 2 characters and looking at why the ending of the drama is quite pleasant.
