K-Drama School - Ep 186: Connect and God Bless Saint Paul’s Fish Company

[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the show Connect (2022, Disney+) based on a webtoon by Shin Dae-jung and directed by Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike starring Jung Hae-in, Go Kyung-pyo and Kim Hye-jun. Grace critiques Go Kyung-pyo’s unconvincing performance as a psycho killer but praises Miike’s mise-en-scene choices throughout the show as well as the very original storyline. Grace tears down King Spa and Sauna in Chicago as a shitty place to relax due to poor customer service and the disgruntled staff’s bad vibes. Grace praises St. Paul’s Fish Company in Milwaukee for their excellent seafood. Grace also loves Chicago’s pristine silence at night. What a great city.
