What I love most about myself Take 1<\/em>The new Reality series on Korean music<\/a>This is how the Netflix release wrapped a very meaningful and deeply felt Netflix release around a simple premise that was released on October 14.<\/p>\n

This is the premise: According to an English translation, it is stated in the opening minutes of the 7-episode series. \u201cWe asked musicians from different genres what if you only had one chance to present a perfect performance before you died? There\u2019s just one condition. Do it in one take.\u201d<\/p>\n

Take 1<\/em>Netflix<\/h2>\n

Despite its simplicity, it is not difficult to see the benefits. Take 1<\/em> goes on to carry viewers along on a bit of an emotional journey \u2014 as the various artists conceive, rehearse for, and then stage their performances. Moreover, unlike the language of reality TV series we\u2019re more accustomed to here, which might have seen musicians pitted against one another; performances voted on; a winner chosen; a panel of judges lambasting this or that mistake \u2026 there\u2019s no prize to be won here. There are no winners and nobody goes home crying.<\/p>\n

Thank you Netflix and Take 1! This episode was so moving and tasteful. Mamamoo’s does what they love best. Cried, laughed, bit my nails in nervousness, it was just perfect \u2764\ufe0f I know I’ll go back to this many times.<\/p>\n

The performances Take 1<\/em>They are the purpose and the ultimate reward of the show. Netflix provides the financial backing, the musicians across various genres come up with a laundry list of requirements that they want, and they\u2019re given the stage of their dreams upon which to offer up the performance of a lifetime. And that\u2019s pretty much it.<\/p>\n

Words don\u2019t really do it justice, but there\u2019s something sublime and so refreshing about the whole point of this reality show being that the musicians are given a chance to deliver a one-of-a-kind performance \u2026 simply for the sake of delivering a one-of-a-kind performance.<\/p>\n

The performers include an opera singer and the subling pop duo AKMU. A singer who goes by RAIN as well the girl group MAMAMOO is also included.<\/p>\n

One of the singers decides that he will return to a song he used to hate singing, and reflects on his life. RAIN decides to stage his performance in front of South Korea\u2019s Blue House. After a few years of building their solo careers, the MAMAMOO singers return to this series to perform a mashup all of their hits.<\/p>\n

Another must-watch Korean Netflix series<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re generally a fan of the massive pile of Korean-language content that the streamer has to offer, you\u2019ll more than likely enjoy Take 1 <\/em>too. Honestly, I\u2019m already hoping Netflix re-ups the show for a second season \u2014 heck, it would certainly be a great venue for BTS to stage an epic comeback once the band members\u2019 mandatory military service is complete.<\/p>\n

However, what other Netflix shows are worth watching in the same genre? Take 1<\/em>, here are two other recent additions to the streamer\u2019s library that are definitely worthy of a spot on your watch list:<\/p>\n

Extraordinary Attorney Woo<\/em><\/a><\/h3>\n

This 16-episode Netflix series about an autistic attorney is one of the most popular non-English Netflix series.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Netflix says about the show in its official summary \u2014 and, particularly, about the central character, Woo Young-woo. \u201cAs someone with autism spectrum disorder, she faces various prejudices but wins over her colleagues at a top law firm by spotting details and legal loopholes that nobody else can see.\u201d As the show\u2019s screenwriter Moon Ji-won puts it: \u201cOnce she takes on a case, it takes a turn that viewers could not have seen before anywhere else.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The show premiered on Netflix at the beginning of June. It quickly rose to prominence and became a top-performing series for the streaming giant. Extraordinary Attorney Woo<\/em>, in fact, was either #1 or #2 for four consecutive weeks on Netflix\u2019s global Top 10 non-English shows chart. Currently, it\u2019s also the #6 top-performing non-English Netflix series Everyday<\/em>, based on the streamer\u2019s latest chart data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glitch<\/em><\/a><\/h3>\n

A more recent Netflix Korean series to check out once you\u2019re finished with Take 1<\/em>It is Glitch \u2014<\/em> which, on paper, admittedly has a bit of a strange plot but I\u2019ve nevertheless been oddly fascinated by it.<\/p>\n

Plus, the show\u2019s cast includes Jeon Yeo-been, who gave a memorable performance in Netflix\u2019s Vincenzo<\/em>, so that\u2019s a point in its favor and deserving of it being watched all by itself.<\/p>\n

\"Glitch

Here\u2019s the rather terse official summary that Netflix offers. \u201cJihyo, who can see aliens, and Bora, who has been pursuing them, search for Jihyo\u2019s boyfriend, who disappeared without a trace, and encounter an \u2018unidentified\u2019 mystery.\u201d It\u2019s sort of like a K-drama version of The X-Files<\/em>You’ll find tons of other elements in the mix, just like the best K-dramas. Religious zealotry, a search for aliens, a buddy comedy, deadly standoffs, and chase scenes \u2014 there\u2019s a lot here to sink your teeth into and enjoy.<\/p>\n
