Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' - Bargain (Korean: 몸값) - Miniseries

Bargain (Korean: 몸값) aired in South Korea on TVING from late October to early November back in 2022.

Directed by Jeon Woo-sung, starring Jin Seon-kyu, Jeon Jong-seo and Chang Ryul, in Australia the latest bat shit Korean series streams on Paramount +.

The series was adapted from the 2015 short film Bargain, directed by Lee Chung-hyun. With this being one of the shortest Korean series I have watched to date. With only six episodes, all around the 30 (odd) minute mark.

The series premiered at the 27th Busan International Film Festival and screened at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

So we get organ harvesting, bidding and then an earthquake in this shonky "fake" hotel so our undercover cop, organ harvesters and bidders attempt to survive.

We have Jin Seon-kyu as Noh Hyung-soo, Jeon Jong-seo as Park Joo-young, Chang Ryul as Go Geuk-ryul, Shin Jae-hwi as Chang-soon, Park Hyung-soo as Hee-sook and Oh Min-ae as Lee Chun-nam.

This was some random ass shit!

In the series ender, there are survivors, however what do they survive to live in? Reviews have been fairly positive for this apocalyptic series, on TheGuardian.com, Lucy Mangan gave the series a four-star rating out of five.

It's definitely an original series, I will give the creators that. They also turned up the weird to a whole new level!

Bargain on Paramount + will not be everyones cup of tea. However if you are sick of cop shows, medical dramas, true crime, maybe give this a go.

Wait till the end credits conclude too as there is a little more to come. By little bit, a whole concluding scene. Update there is one and a bit more months of the Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 24' series.
