The inevitability of death has always raised questions about the meaning and purpose of human existence. While some believe that death renders all our efforts and achievements futile, others find peace in the belief in an afterlife. Finding hope in the fact that there might be consciousness after death, creationists usually believe that the subjective values and principles we stand for in this life carry significance beyond the grave. The fragility of these same values, especially when confronted with the realization of an impending death, is a central theme explored in the Netflix series Goodbye Earth. As the world comes face-to-face with the threat of an asteroid collision, it falls into a state of utter chaos, which makes you wonder if the people really have the right to let an entire population perish just to protect one’s own resources.

When you hear that D.B. Weiss and David Benioff are behind a series, you sit up and take notice. The recent Netflix drama 3 Body Problem had all the suspense and drama we've come to expect from the pair, as a team of scientists and a detective investigate the strange deaths of scientists around the world.
Based on the novel The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin, the show scored 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and topped Netflix's global top 10 for 3 weeks. But with only 8 episodes, this uber-bingeable show has already come to an end for many fans.
The good news, a new K-drama landing on April 26th is the perfect show to stream if you loved 3 Body Problem and can't believe it hasn't been renewed for Season 2.

Lee Sun-kyun, best known for his role in the Oscar-winning Korean film Parasite, will be removed from the new drama No Way Out, a black comedy surrounding the contract killing of a man who was just released from prison after serving 13 years. Lee was expected to play the role of a detective in the film, which started shooting last week.
On Monday, however, producer Studio X+U released a statement, saying it was reviewing various options to replace Lee after news broke that he was being investigated by the police over suspected drug use.
“Following an unfortunate incident last week with the actor Lee Sun-gyun, he expressed that it would take a considerable amount of time to sort out the current situation and that he will inevitably drop out” from shooting the project, the statement read. “The company reached an agreement with Lee’s agency and respects the actor’s position.
