Description

Sandglass ranks as the third most-watched TV mini-series in Korean television history, with over 65% of the Korean population tuning in for each weekly episode.

Sandglass is the story of two best friends, their differing roads in life, and the political turmoil that inevitably pits them against one another. After getting rejected from military school because of his father's affiliation with the Communist party, Tae-Soo (Choi Min-Soo) enters a dark underworld filled with violent gangsters and corrupt politicians. Woo-Suk (Park Sang-Won) sees his family suffer under political oppression, and becomes a prosecutor to fight for social justice. Painfully torn between the two men is Hye-Rin (Go Hyun-Jung of Spring Days), the ambitious successor to her father's successful casino business.

Sandglass powerfully explores the conflicts between friendship, loyalty, and duty. Don't miss this intense and unpredictable 24-episode television masterpieceˇK and prepare yourself for a thrilling and truly unforgettable ending.

Review

The desolate streets and empty bars were the first signal. Walking around Seoul those nights was like setting foot in a post-apocalyptic landscape, with only a few tent bars and stores still open in the evening. Many people rushed home from work early, lest they missed even one episode of the TV Drama which was setting the nation on fire. A metropolis of several Million people becoming a desert of asphalt, parked cars, and lights... but for what? It was 1995, and back then people associated TV Dramas with MBC for quality and KBS for following trends to a T, but there was another TV Station, still very young and trying to make its first important steps on the road to acceptance as a major challenger.

SBS had been broadcasting for a few years, but they couldn't find their identity or strike fear in the eyes of their competitors. Their signal didn't fully reach the whole nation yet, and they needed something to shock people, something different, something which would announce SBS was there, and was ready for a fight.... more from Twitch.
