Six more episodes to go in this one so let's plan for the rest of 2024.
First thing I'd like to do is a quick one: follow up on King of the Wind by watching that movie The Throne. It's available online for free with ads so no problem there. I watched the first half-hour of it and was very impressed, but never got back to it. It's a very interesting take on the Sado story and deserves watching now that KOTW is finished. So one weekend for The Throne.
Then I did say we'd take a look at My Dearest. Yes it's not the kind of thing we usually do here, but it got massive ratings and by the second episode it was getting into some good historical material that we've never dealt with here. Part 1 is only ten episodes and Part 2 is eleven, so we'll try the first ten and if it's not worth continuing then we'll bail after ten.
And then after that we'll do Mr. Sunshine. Netflix, unfortunately, have to pay for it. But it's only 24 episodes and maybe we can do two a week to get through it faster. It's much more modern that any historical that's ever been done here, but it's supposed to be very good and truth keeps wanting us to watch it so we'll give it a shot.
That will cover most of this year. Then maybe we'll try one of those other three pre-2000 historicals that's available online. By then we'll probably have more information about 2025 and whether or not there will be a new historical made by KBS.
