This Netflix series is repellant. It’s also one of the most thought-provoking shows I’ve seen

Netflix has announced that the new original Korean series Tantara will premiere on Dec. 11. The period drama is set between the 1960s and 1980s and follows Min-ja, a character played by Song Hye-kyo, as she overcomes poverty to enter the recording industry. Her childhood friend Dong-gu, played by Gong Yoo, supports her ambitions.

According to The Korea Times, the cast also features Kim Seol-hyun, Cha Seung-won, Lee Hanee, and Na Moon-hee. The production marks the return of screenwriter Noh Hee-kyung after more than four years. Noh previously wrote Our Blues (2022) as well as Worlds Within (2008) and That Winter, the Wind Blows (2013), both of which starred Song.
