K-dramas have become very popular lately, and that hasn’t gone unnoticed by Netflix, which is including more and more romantic stories in its offerings on its platform each month.
In recent days it has unexpectedly entered the top 10 of the most watched series, taking the fifth place so far.
It is nothing more and nothing less than “existential emergencies”, a story coming from South Korea and growing in viewership.
What are “existential emergencies”?
This k-drama tells the story of a man and a woman who had promising lives and were former academic rivals, but fall into depression, quit their jobs, and end up being neighbors.
Yeo Jung-woo is a famous plastic surgeon who is going through the worst crisis of his life due to a mysterious medical accident. while Nam Ha-neul is an anesthesiologist suffering from burnout after being harassed by a professor at medical school.
From their not-so-pleasant reunion, they will begin, without predicting it, a romance that will help them get out of the black hole that their lives have become.
At the worst moment of their existence, these former rivals find in each other the comfort they so desperately sought to get through the terrible “hit”.
