Finished watching all 16 episodes of Korea's Awaken. An engrossing movie about serial murders, police investigations, human experiments, children who survived a Day of Tragedy, a mysterious agency in control of life and death, puzzles, lucid dreaming, and selective amnesia. Suspenseful, and with a most satisfying ending. Yet another Korean movie in which even bit players and extras give truthful performances, and I think that is because their movie actors are never the same as their stage actors, and casting directors never take stage actors for supporting roles.

It was worth watching for all 16 hours, though I continue to believe that more than seven or eight episodes are a bit too much for urban viewers who have a lot to do in their everyday life.

Korean movies have superior editing. It is always intrinsic to the telling of the story.

This is my nth Korean movie so far, and I note that:

--The characters take Korean dishes only, as though it were a highly patriotic thing.

--Soju is taken with every meal, even in the daytime.
