I don't know why other amateur reviewers like me have been so lukewarm about "Revolutionary Love". Sheltering at home this spring, I've been cheered up by Korean and Chinese serials, and this is one of the better ones. It has characters in large and smaller roles you come to care about and cheer for when they succeed in various ways, villains you love to hate, a believable love story, and a look at various aspects of modern Korean culture. Of course there are standard characters like the plucky heroine and the evil industrialist, but these are especially well done. A bonus was one of the heroes, who at first-to Western eyes at least-seemed more funny-looking than handsome (the actor has a wonderfully mobile face) and becomes more and more appealing in looks as well as actions as the story goes on. It's not on the very top of my list, but it's definitely near the top. I hated to have to say good-bye to the characters.
