On Episode 27 of the Daebak K-Rambles Podcast, Jess is joined by repeat guest Mina from the Kpop Bookshelf Podcast to review Mr. Sunshine, starring Lee Byung-Hun, Kim Tae-Ri, Yoo Yeon-Seok, and many others.

Jess and Mina truly deep dive on this 2018 epic, exploring the major themes of identity, belonging, classism, and more, the history and culture of the time, what America feels like in the hands of Lee Byung-Hun, and reveling at the acting performances throughout, characters and the backstories that made them so layered, Yoo Yeon-Seok’s hotness, the cinematography, big-budget set pieces, the endgame episodes that broke hearts, and more!
