- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Studio or GLOW, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 6 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
- It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
In 1980s Korea, a movie star and a starlet defy male-dominated industry rules and backstage corruption while filming the provocative "Madame Aema."
