Mr. Plankton: new Korean romantic drama series on Netflix

The new Korean series Mr. Plankton, starring Woo Do-Hwan and Lee Yoo-Mi, promises to blend comedy, drama and romance with a genre-specific sensibility. Directed by Hong Jong-chan(Dear My Friends, Her Private Life), and written by Jo Yong(It's Okay to Not Be Okay), Mr. Plankton tells the unlikely story of two characters whose lives have been marked by loneliness and melancholy. He is a man "who should never have been born", and she is a woman whom fate seems to have condemned to misfortune. Together, they embark on a final journey, a shared journey that could change their lives forever.

Mr. Plankton may appeal to fans of complexromances and introspective narratives. Exploring themes of loneliness and redemption, this series is aimed at an audience that appreciates the poignant, metaphorical fictions often characteristic of South Korean dramas. Fans of series such as My Mister or It's Okay to Not Be Okay, which feature marginalized or damaged characters, will certainly find interest in this new production. Hong Jong-chan's direction and Jo Yong's narrative style will also appeal to those who appreciate series where discreet humor is mixed with darker, deeper emotions.
