The name Kim seems to be popular in Korea.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, it's populat in the West too. There are a lot of famous actresses who go by this name: Kim Novak, Kim Catrall, Kim Basinger, Kim Kardashian...In some cases it's the short form of Kimberly.
I like it; it's short and cute.
I understand the action of this south korean saga is set in ancient times. However, the struggles and conflicts are relevant to later times too, inclusive our times.
My favourite Kim is probably Kim Raver. I usually think that past does not end it constantly repeats, yours and mine country know that best.
DeleteProbably not one I'll watch on Netflix, but I did notice they are getting more and more foreign films on their service. Good for those of us who want more options aside from what the US offers.
ReplyDeleteYes, they especially have tons of Spanish ones! And they are now shooting their first Arabic series too LOL
