This film is basically the definition of "artsy". Probably unwatchable to some, but unusual (in a good way) in concept and execution. The parallels between the stories of the various Annes make the thing seem more like a cohesive story as a whole and less like a mishmash of oddly-paced scenes, which is how it seemed to me at first. The fact that this is a Korean film performed mostly in English by non-native English speakers adds sort of a subtextual narrative about communication, which is most interesting indeed. I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, but it's worth a watch if you're interested in films that have more to do with construction than plot.

I think this drama is sort of underrated. First off I feel like I should say that it has a TERRIBLE title... it really doesn't reflect what the show is about at all. The prevailing themes here are really greed vs. relationships (romantic, filial, and friendship) and bucking an unjust social class system. It's not a melodrama though, it's a straight-up comedy! This is true ensemble drama, which I think is pretty awesome because all of the characters are actually really interesting. There's nothing showstopping about the plot, but between the characterizations and the large number of wacky situational comedy scenes it's worth a watch. The first half of the series is much stronger than the second, but isn't that true of most dramas?
